777 seafood — a budget-maximizer’s quick read
What the data says: 777 seafood is a restaurant with an aggregate rating of 3.9/5 from 19 reviews, open every day from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Customer feedback shows a clear split: some patrons praise honest weighing and reasonable pricing, while several others report small, not-fresh seafood and complaints about price manipulation. The venue accepts contactless payments (not cash-only) and offers free street parking. It sits near Rawai Seafood Market and Mueang Phuket District Seafood Market Street, with a coffee shop and convenience store in easy walking distance.
Trust and pricing — how to verify you’re not overpaying
Use the weighing method to your advantage. If a staff member places items on a scale, insist you can see the numbers before anything is cooked. Ask aloud for the unit price per weight and have them confirm the total before they take the item to the kitchen. If you feel the weight was altered after selection, step back: you can walk to nearby stalls to cross-check unit prices and sizes — the proximity of two markets is leverage.
Freshness plays out in timing — choose when you arrive
Several negative reports mention dying or small seafood. That points to variable turnover. To minimize that risk, arrive close to opening time when deliveries tend to be freshest and seafood stock is less handled. Avoid late-evening visits when remaining inventory may be slower-moving. If you want the best pick, go early and choose visibly active, lively specimens.
Payment and proof — use records to reduce dispute risk
Record keeping matters here because allegations of price play exist. Pay with a contactless card or mobile payment to leave a timestamped record of the transaction. Ask for an itemized receipt that lists weights, unit prices and totals before you approve payment. A digital trail improves your chance of a refund or recourse if the billed amount looks off later.
Compare and exploit market options — competition is your friend
Rawai Seafood Market and Mueang Phuket District Seafood Market Street are immediate alternatives. Before committing, make a quick circuit to sample prices and specimen sizes at nearby stalls. If you drive, free street parking lets you rotate between sellers without meter worries; use that mobility to compare three vendors and pick the best size-to-price ratio.
Selection strategy — maximize edible yield per baht
- Pick visibly larger specimens rather than several tiny pieces; complaints about small size suggest low yield per purchase.
- When buying by weight, choose items with higher flesh-to-shell ratios if you’re seeking cooked value (ask staff which items lose less weight during preparation).
- Ask staff to confirm the exact weight that will be charged before cooking starts; get the number on the receipt.
Managerial red flags and how to react
Some reviewers reported poor attitude from staff and claims of selling dying seafood. If staff seem unwilling to accommodate simple checks — visible weighing, full disclosure of unit price, or a receipt — treat that as a red flag and step away. Walk next door to the market stalls; the market competition offers immediate alternatives without wasting your money.
Small checklist to use on arrival
- Inspect live tanks and specimen activity before picking
- Ask for unit price per weight and watch the scale readout
- Request an itemized receipt before paying
- Pay contactless for a clear transaction record
- If anything feels off, compare at nearby market stalls and use free street parking to move quickly
Bottom line: 777 seafood can be a decent value if you treat it like a market transaction — verify weights, demand transparent pricing, time your visit for freshness, and use the neighboring markets as leverage. The mixed reviews are your warning light: come prepared and you can turn a risky purchase into a bargain.
