Although the restaurant design is not too sophisticated, T&K has an attractive menu that does not disappoint customers at all. Especially when you try fried or steamed whole fish with many rich sauces, grilled shrimp, crab, seafood hotpot, clams, snails, you will understand why people line up to wait even if it rains.

The special thing is nothing other than the extremely delicious crab claws on top of the noodles, but they are not small but very large. When you order, remember to clearly state how much you want to pay from 200 to 500 baht, the higher the price, the bigger the crab claws. You can order a normal bowl of noodles for 50 baht with a little crab meat but the best is still the crab claws.
