Here Hai (Original shop)

Another Bangkok Michelin gem quest. Their signature Insane Crab Fried Rice menu is indeed insane. The crab was very generous portion. Skillful wok hei produces a strong smoky aroma fried rice with succulent balanced seasoning. Such perfect combination for perfect lunch. Excellent service, all staffs are friendly and polite, greet and guide you from front door to your seat. Quiet long preparation to deliver your meal, about 30 minutes, but the outcome worth the wait. Definitely I'll be back again.

As soon as our flight touched down Suvarnabhumi Airport, the first thing that we did was to book an airport limousine to send us directly to Here Hai, listed in Michelin Guide for 5 years straight. Lunging our luggage along, we were made to queue in the line like everyone else. Normally I didn't like waiting but since we were already there and I wanted to make my first meal a good one, be patient lah! After about half an hour, we finally got our table and proceed to order. Here Hai prides themselves for serving fresh seafood from Surat Thani and not frozen varieties to keep the quality. ◾Stir fried mantis shrimp with garlic - the hunger motivated me to strip the shell off and devour the sweet flesh. ◾Signature crab omelette - love the still runny egg texture akin to a good scrambled egg, and then topped with generous chunks of crab meat. ◾Insane Crab Fried Rice - they are not kidding when added 'insane' in the description. The fried rice was insanely generous with both crab meat and wok hei. ◾Grilled giant river prawn - ordered one whole prawn and shared between two pairs. Loved the creaminess of the golden roe and nicely grilled meat. DO not for get to utilize their Nam Jim Seafood sauce which they make fresh everyday. It's tangy and spicy yet went so well with everything on the table. We left the place with heavy tummy and luggages.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Here Hai Original Shop, and it definitely deserves a strong recommendation! The highlight of the meal was the giant river prawn, fresh and perfectly cooked. The natural sweetness of the prawn really stood out, and it was absolutely worth trying. Another must-order is their insane crab fried rice. The portion is generous, packed with real crab meat, and the flavour is rich and satisfying. It’s truly one of the best crab fried rice dishes I’ve had. We also tried the coconut juice and Thai milk tea, and both were excellent. The coconut juice was refreshing, while the Thai milk tea had the right balance of tea aroma and creaminess. Considering the quality and portion sizes, I would say the food here value for money. Overall, Here Hai Original Shop is a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Thai flavours. 🤗

A must go everytime we are in BKK. Hands down the best crab fried rice in BKK. Be prepared to wait though..the open at 10am and queue starts forming around 930am..but, definitely worth the wait. If your spice tolerance is high, go for the crab curry. Its amazing. Mantis shrimp in garlic, crab omelette are all must orders..

Here Hai in Bangkok is a great spot for crab lovers. They are very generous with the crab meat in their dishes, and the flavour of the crab is seafood sweet and savoury. We tried the signature crab fried rice, but it was a bit disappointing. Even with the plentiful crab meat, the rice was overcooked and had some charred bits that affected the taste. The egg omelette was decent, mainly because of the generous crab meat, but it was not especially memorable on its own. The mantis prawn is overcooked also to the point it is chewy. The service, however, was excellent. Staff were attentive, and the food arrived very quickly. Prices are very reasonable considering the amount of crab meat given. Overall, it’s a good place if you want a satisfying crab fix.

Much to our delight, every single bite was chef's kiss! BEST: Crab omelette, crab LUMP and original fried rice, scallops, thai iced milktea The "less spice" in Thailand is still spicy, so watch out. Better choose no spice options. Wait time without reservation is a buzzkill. Thank you, Khun Oom for accodomating me on Insta. It was such a wonderful and scrumptuous experience. Will definitely be back!

Queue is definite if u want to dine here. Reason is it's super famous & also because the shop is quite small. If u go in a big group then it's quite troublesome to get a table unless you're willing to seperate. The waiting time for food to be served is also quite long. Service from staffs are really good. Though very busy, each of them are still full of manners & very attentive. Thumbs up to the team. The food is delicious & seafood is fresh. You can tastes the sweetness of the meat. The crabmeat is in big chunks & it's very succulent. The fried rice is full of wok hei as well. The king of this meal has to be the mantis prawn. It's really good, very fragrant & the best part is it's fully peeled. The crabmeat omelette is on average. The seafood sauce that goes with it is also very appetizing. Price is also very reasonable. A satisfying meal.

We didn’t wanna queue so we ordered Grab delivery. Fried rice was nice but we think it’s not worth the long queue - glad we have delivery option. Even so, the waiting time is 50mins. Fortunately, food was still warm when it came to us. Garlic and Chilli Mantis Prawn was a bit too spicy that you can’t taste the prawn itself. Don’t think we will order that again.
