Baracuda Seafood Restaurant

Baracuda Seafood Restaurant sits in Koh Rong and draws a steady crowd of locals, expats and visitors. It is not chasing trends, and that is part of the appeal: you get a proper meal, a fair bill and staff who know the menu.

The food and the setting

The kitchen leans into seafood and barbecue. Prices stay friendly, which is a big part of why people keep coming back. Come for a drink first and decide about food once you have a table; the kitchen keeps sensible hours around the bar.

What people think

It holds a 4.9 rating across 26 reviews, which is a solid sign for somewhere that is not trying to be fancy. It is worth reading a handful of the recent reviews before you go, since they will tell you which dishes people order twice and which to skip.

The neighbourhood

As for the wider picture, On Koh Rong almost everything arrives by boat, so menus are simple, cash is king and kitchens close early.

How to get there

A tuk-tuk or a Grab / PassApp ride is the simplest way in. Save the map pin from the top of this page, since street numbering is loose and the name plus the neighbourhood usually gets you there faster. A short walk is fine in the cooler part of the day, but pavements are uneven and often blocked, so most people ride the last stretch even when it is close.

Good to know

It opens on Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. If you are building a day around it, aim for slightly off-peak: the room is calmer and the kitchen has more time for your table. A solid option to have in your back pocket.
