If you happen to visit Huai Khwang and looking for a reasonably clean, good and affordable place to eat. Noi Seafood should be on your list of consideration.
To reach here, come out of the Huai Khwang MRT via exit 3 of MRT and keep walking left towards the night market. The restaurant will be on your left after you cross the first bridge over a drain.

These is their must try
Grilled pork neck – unexpectedly delicious considering we were at a seafood restaurant. The pork neck was incredibly tender with a sweet caramelized skin, it tasted a bit like char siew. A must try here.
Hidden Traditional Stewed Pork Hainanese Rice Noodles.
KoLun is well known among its loyal customers for serving up an old family recipe of Hainan style Khanom Jeen (rice noodles) with a thick and rich stewed pork soup. While the restaurant has only been established for just over 20 years, it’s still undeniably popular.
Owned by a Hainanese couple, they sell homemade rice flour noodles with either clear soup with sio bak or braised pork with salted vegetables (40 baht each). I personally love the clear soup one very much. Pair it with the spicy chilli sauce, it has the fragrant prawn sauce added into it. The wife wakes up at 2am everyday to make the noodles and starts business at 7am. As a Hainanese myself, I enjoyed their herbal mutton stew (150 baht) very much. There was much finesse in it. All the spices and herbs were so delicately balanced, the mutton wasn’t outrageously gamey.
We went during the early hours so there wasn’t much of a line, but if you happen to be a bit late then expect to wait a while to try these delicious Hainanese rice noodles.
It doesn’t help that there are little seating options too.
KoLun is famous for their clear or thick broth Hiananese rice noodles. We’ve tried both versions and I’ll discuss all the delicious deets later.
HaiLam KoLun actually has a pretty extensive menu but it all boils down what type of meats you want with your noodles. The main proteins are:
Stewed Pork Meat
Stewed Pork Leg/Trotters (also known as “Kaki”)
Crispy Pork (must eat)
So it’s up to you to decide what proteins and what type of broth you want with your traditional bowl of hainanese rice noodles.
The other section of the menu has some rice dishes, mainly rice with stewed pork, so if noodles aren’t your deal then go for the rice.
They also have a special stewed herbal mutton soup which goes for 200 or 300 THB depending on the portion you order.
The pricing is very affordable, coming in at around 60THB for their signature bowl of Hainanese rice noodles, if you wish to add more meats, and I highly recommend you do, the price will be around 80THB which is still a great deal.
Pros
Affordable pricing
KoLun does their meats well, their stewed pork/mutton are incredible
A lot of choices on their menu, don’t like noodles? They also have rice dishes
Their shrimp paste, Kapi, is real special and complements the khanom jeen noodles and the meats really well
Cons
Portions can be bigger, I wasn’t full from just one bowl.
Overall I recommend you check out Khanom Jeen HaiLam KoLun, not only do they serve a traditional classic Hainanese rice noodle recipe, they also serve it at an affordable price. If you are a meat lover, you’ll savor the tenderness of the stewed pork, and the richness of the noodle soup broth. Their shrimp paste, the kapi, is also something truly special that you’ll only find at KoLun. If you are not a big fan of rice noodles, then KoLun also has some rice dishes for you as well.
There isn’t really anything bad to say about KoLun, perhaps that the portions are a bit small, but that is minor nitpick compared to everything else.
Address: 261/1 Soi Thevi Worayat, just off Luang road
Open: 4 pm – 10:30 pm daily

Located in Suan Mali Alley off Soi Thewi Worayat, the stall is reachable from Sua Pa Road.
This little stall has been serving roasted chicken noodles in the same location for over 60 years. Originally known as roasted chicken Nai Hong, the humble stall nestled in the intersected sois next to Ann roasted chicken noodles.
Guay Tiew Kua Gai or roasted chicken noodes is easy to make on the paper. Few ingredients, clear instructions, but still so difficult to get it right. Have you heard big chefs speaking about the importance of controlling the heat and time? Thats exactly what we are talking about here. A small mistake and you’re in the mediocre territory immediately. Suanmali does everything right. And they do it every time. It has been a favorite of mine for years.
Choose from one of three types of noodles; the chicken is roasted until almost cooked then the noodles and egg are added to the mix with some seasonings and served hot. The roasted chicken and noodles are crispy on the outside but soft and tender on the inside. Making for a very delicious yet simple meal during the day priced 40-50 baht.
Suanmali is a true institution in Bangkok’s Chinatown. They have delivered quality day inn and day out. And I do find them a notch better than Ann Guay Tiew Kua Gai 30 meters away that also is an excellent spot for Guay Tiew Kua Gai. The reason for positioning Suanmali first is that the noodles are slightly more crispier at Suanmali. Ann Guay Tiew Kua Gai have the advantage of air-condition, but again, if taste and texture really matter Suanmali is a slightly better spot.
