When I was doing my food research for Thailand, it wasn’t just me—so many of my friends also had this restaurant on their must-eat list. In Bangkok, Here Hai keeps coming up again and again. It’s a local Thai seafood spot that has won Michelin guide recognition seven years in a row (2020–2026) and is especially famous for its crab. No fancy storytelling here—just really good food that people genuinely crave.

Location & Transportation
Here Hai is in Bangkok and easiest to reach by taxi or Grab. There’s usually a 30–60 minute line, especially during meal times. If you don’t feel like waiting, you can also order on Grab. Coming early helps too.
The interior is very local Bangkok style. Bright lights, simple tables, lots of people, and a bit noisy. It’s not about atmosphere here—it’s very much about the food. You can tell this is a place locals come to eat seriously good crab.
What We Ordered
Green Seafood Sauce
This signature green seafood sauce is sour and spicy with a distinctive aftertaste. It really brings out the sweetness of the seafood and makes everything taste brighter.
Crab Fried Rice (S) ★★★★★
As a Taiwanese, I’m picky about fried rice—and this one is really good. The rice grains are separate, not greasy, and full of wok aroma. The crab is firm and sweet, adding an extra ocean flavor that makes each bite more interesting. This is the kind of crab fried rice in Bangkok that feels expertly controlled from heat to seasoning.
Stir-Fried Mantis Shrimp with Salt & Chili ★★★★★
I usually don’t love shrimp with shells, but this worked. Here, however, the shell enhances the dish instead of disrupting it. The shell adds crunch and flavor instead of being annoying. The pepper and chili create a lingering aroma that stays in the mouth, making this a bold and memorable Thai seafood dish.
Stir-Fried Scallop with Garlic & Pepper ★★★★★
My favorite dish. The first bite delivers a soft, tender scallop that bursts with juiciness. Crispy fried garlic crumbs add texture, while the garlic aroma fills the palate without overwhelming the scallop’s natural sweetness.
Signature Omelet Crab (S)
Before this meal, I never imagined crab and omelet could pair so well. The fluffy omelet absorbs the sweetness of the crab, creating a unified flavor rather than two separate elements. The contrast between soft egg and firm crab results in a surprisingly addictive combination that defines Here Hai’s signature Michelin crab style.
Crab Spring Roll
This dish defies expectations of a traditional spring roll. You can taste the crab’s firmness and light sweetness. It feels lighter and cleaner than standard versions, allowing the crab to remain the centerpiece.
Here Hai proves that a Michelin Guide restaurant in Thailand does not need luxury décor to deliver excellence. Its success comes from precise cooking, high-quality crab, and a deep understanding of texture and flavor balance. Winning Michelin Guide recognition seven years in a row (2020–2026) is no accident. If you’re in Bangkok, love crab, and want a Michelin spot that feels relaxed and local, Here Hai is definitely worth a visit—or a Grab order.
