    We love everything about Tae Rak I'm a local but I had never seen the lake before or understood the full significance of this feature. The building is stunning and the food , service and atmosphere welcoming and comfortable. Thank you 🙏

    We chose the smoked eel balls with salad. Very pleasant combination of flavours. The smoke flavour was not over-bearing. The staff were very professional in all aspects of service provided.

    The group of 15 people were all very happy with their experience dining out at the Tae Rak Aquaculture Centre and will certainly be making a return visit in the future. Would highly recommend this facility to anyone. Thank you all for your wonderful service and information on the centre.
