One of the best fish / shrimp boiled rice soup restaurant in Bangkok and so many other seafood. Do not miss blanched Seabass with seafood sauce and stir-fried vermicelli with giant shrimps. It served tasty local desserts as well. It opens only in the early evening and you can park at a public parking just before reaching the open-aired restaurant.

Khao Tom classic! Great sea food. This time I had plum soup with fish and rice. Very delicious! Nice service as well as nice Thai atmosphere

Love the fish soup that had peppery taste. Ordered just the fish soup alone with rice, crab and claypot tang hoon. One of the rare stores that allow you to order the claypot tang hoon without the prawns so thumbs up to them! Food was served fast and service crew were friendly. Price is on a heavier side but will be back for the fish soup! Coconut dessert tasted fabulous too.

I’m utterly baffled as to how Hia Wan Khao Tom Pla has managed to snag the Michelin Bib Gourmand for six consecutive years. After my recent visit, I can only surmise that the award-givers must have had their taste buds somewhat impaired. The touted 400-baht (whaaaaat… must have been the Micheline award talking) soup was a letdown, reeking of an overpowering fishiness that completely missed the mark on the umami front. As for the soy sauce pork, it was a study in blandness, lacking any depth of flavor. The salmon carpaccio, was equally uninspiring. Frankly, the only redeeming aspect of the entire meal was the Hoegaarden beer, which, let’s face it, wasn’t even their own creation. This experience was a stark reminder that not all that glitters is gold, or in this case, not all that’s Michelin-rated is worth the hype.

Awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand for 6 yrs in a row. Must have maintained high standard & quality to get this award. But, just not my taste. The porridge has a very strong (over) taste of white pepper. And MSG perhaps. I ordered 1 crab meat porridge & 1 fish fillet porridge. I couldn't get the taste of crab & fish at all. All were about pepper & mild spicy! The other porridge restaurant 'K' taste better but Hia Wan has wider range of foods.

Price is acceptable. They use the great material. Not fishy. There is many type of food to try e.g. porridge, spicy salad, tomyum etc. For porridge, you can add any toppings as you want e.g. fish roe, shrimp, oyster. The price is start from 80 - 400 depends on toppings.

Local seafood and congee shop, very nice. Clean place.

Great dinner spot if you are seeking a change of palette from traditional Thai cuisine. Serves up a variety of clear fish soup, you can choose mix of ingredients from fish maw to oysters. Crab congee and raw crab tossed in spicy sauce are highlights as well. Bonus: no crazy dinner Q even though this stall scored Michelin award for a few years.
