  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute hidden gem and a piece of Bangkok's culinary history!I stumbled upon Siang Ki Khao Tom Pla after hearing about their century-old heritage, and it completely lived up to the hype. They still cook their seafood porridge over charcoal, and that authentic, nostalgic flavor shines through in every single bite.I had the famous fish and oyster rice soup, and the freshness of the seafood was unbelievable—the fish was perfectly tender. The broth is clear, clean, and deeply comforting, completely unlike the heavy, rich soups you usually find. Paired with their traditional salted soybean (tau cheo) dipping sauce and some crispy garlic, it’s a perfectly balanced masterpiece.It's a bit of a hidden walk tucked away in Yaowarat, but this humble, old-school street food stall is well worth the trek. It’s the ultimate comfort food done exactly the same way for generations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly authentic Thai-Chinese dining experience!

  Both the pomfret and sea bass were fresh and perfectly cooked, served in a flavorful clear broth. This is one of the few authentic restaurants in Chinatown that still preserves the traditional cooking style using a charcoal stove.

  If you’re going to Yaowarat, this place is an absolute must. The food is incredible, the broth is light yet deeply flavorful, and the fish has a perfect bouncy texture that shows how fresh it is. The other components in the dish complement the rice, the broth, and the fish so well. Truly one of those spots you shouldn’t miss.

  1st visit and tried this Famous Kao Tum Pla ( Rice Fish soup). No doubt the fish is thick and fresh but that's all they can offer for their Trade. Overrated with high price for a bowl of Premium fish rice soup will set you back for 500 baht. ( This is supposed to be a single portion). Their Signature fried tofu slice is also highly disappointed for me. The taste is very artificial and floury..it remains hard even after soaking almost half an hour in the soup. Final Verdict: Only if you don't mind the price for such Healthy food.
