"Hot" seafood restaurant with muscular male waiters suddenly closed

(Dan Tri) - The seafood restaurant dubbed "Bangkok's hottest" in Thailand has suddenly announced that it will close at the end of July. Previously, this place became a popular destination, even for Vietnamese tourists.

The famous Staneemeehoi seafood restaurant at Hua Mum Market (Bangkok, Thailand) suddenly said goodbye, expected to officially close at the end of July, ending its business journey of more than 9 years of operation at this location.

In a recent post, the restaurant representative said that the lease with Hua Mum Market had ended, forcing the business to move to a new location. The representative also apologized for the inconvenience and expressed sincere thanks to customers for their support over the past 9 years.

Afterwards, the restaurant's two founders, Dee and Wow, announced plans to expand to the international market, first of all to the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"While we are closing our sales branch in Bangkok, we will look for our next destination in Kuala Lumpur," he said.

However, this announcement has caused a lot of controversy on social networks. Because many people think that the restaurant's business model combined with "hot" performances by male waiters will not be suitable for the standards and culture in Malaysia, a majority Muslim country.

Regarding this issue, the restaurant representative said that they have no intention of opening a business with a "hot" model like in Thailand because they understand and respect the culture in Malaysia.

Previously, this seafood restaurant was considered a tourist attraction thanks to the sexy dance performances by handsome male waiters wearing gender-neutral clothing such as crop tops, silk pajamas or short skirts.

Guests come from all over the world to watch the muscular men perform provocative moves and interact directly with diners.

Many of the waiters are models. Some of them are 6 feet tall and have muscular bodies. They dance to the music for the diners to see.

On many review platforms, most visitors commented that the restaurant uses fresh and delicious seafood, but the preparation is only average and not outstanding. What makes them want to come back many times is the unique and unmistakable service.

These are male waiters showing off their muscular bodies in short skirts, willing to dance enthusiastically, making diners "laugh out loud".

The staff's uniforms at the bar are very "spontaneous". Besides sexy dresses, sometimes the male waiters wear pajamas, tank tops or even flashy makeup to make people laugh.

After the impromptu performances, the staff continued to serve as usual. In addition to the "plus point" of fresh seafood, the restaurant is commented to have a thoughtful and enthusiastic service style, so the number of returning customers is quite large. However, this place is commented to be not suitable for immature people.

"The restaurant of humorous gentlemen", "the hottest seafood restaurant in Bangkok", "the center of the night market" are the names given to this business establishment by international travel sites.

In addition, Staneemeehoi also received many good reviews on Tripadvisor .

At its peak, the restaurant attracted mainly foreign visitors. Customers had to make reservations in advance, otherwise they could wait 30 to 45 minutes to get a seat.
