เล็กซีฟู้ด 89 Soi Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra 3, Si Lom, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500
Lek Seafood occupies a corner position directly below the Chong Nonsi BTS Skytrain platform, with tables extending onto the street in classic Bangkok-local fashion. The kitchen runs a broad bilingual menu covering grilled river prawn at 791 baht, the Hot Pan Chinese Oyster Omelette at 283 baht, steamed catfish with lime and chili, and spicy cockle salad at 170 baht. A full table order for a group historically runs around 300 baht per person.
You arrive at 89 Soi Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra 3 after dark, because Lek Seafood is a dinner-only restaurant, opening at 5 pm and closing at midnight every day of the week. The location beneath the Chong Nonsi BTS Skytrain structure in the Silom area of Bang Rak district is immediately practical: Exit 2, 3, or 4 of the station deposits you within steps of the entrance. Tables and chairs fill the street-level corner and continue upstairs in a two-storey layout that keeps the open-air atmosphere of a neighbourhood seafood stall while handling a substantial volume of covers. The menu, published in full English with clear illustrations, covers a wide range across seafood cooking styles. The grilled section includes Grilled River Prawn at 791 baht, Grilled Crab with Meat at 1,130 baht, Grilled White Squid at 390 baht, and Grilled Sea Bass with Salt at 452 baht. Steamed dishes include glass noodles with shrimp in clay pot at 170 baht and Steam Glass Noodle with Crab Meat at 430 baht. The spicy salad section lists over fifteen variations, with most items at 170 baht, including the Spicy Cockles Salad and the Spicy Fresh Oysters Salad. The Hot Pan Chinese Oyster Omelette at 283 baht is one of the most consistently praised dishes: oysters set in a crispy egg base with beansprouts. The Steamed Catfish with lime and chili served over a flame arrives hot and is widely described as a standout. Stir-fried morning glory runs 135 baht. Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp and Coconut is priced at 316 baht. Fresh oysters in large size are offered individually at 111 baht. Lek Seafood is built for groups sharing across the full menu range, and the kitchen puts Stir Fried Curry Powder Crab at 430 baht and Fried Snakehead Fish in Spicy Herb Salad at 396 baht on its recommended fried dishes list. The owner's daughter is noted to be fluent in English, supporting the mixed local and visitor crowd that fills the tables each evening.
