Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: River South (Hoe Nam) Prawn Noodles is a long-standing establishment, now in a renovated, air-conditioned space, offering a variety of prawn and pork-based noodle dishes.

We think the prawn noodle soup is the standout, consistently praised for its deep, robust broth, simmered for hours to achieve a natural prawn sweetness and umami.

The dry version also gets high marks for its rich, flavourful sauce and fresh, succulent prawns.

While the prawns are generally large and fresh, some diners have noted occasional overcooking.

Beyond the prawn noodles, the pork & liver soup is described as clean and comforting, and the crispy fried fish slices make for a popular side.

Portions are generous, and the quality of ingredients is consistently highlighted.

A small bowl of prawn noodle soup is priced at $11.

Overall, it's a reliable spot for a satisfying bowl of prawn noodles, though the air-conditioning has been inconsistent for some.

Worth a visit if you're in the area and craving a classic prawn noodle experience.

What customers say

River South (Hoe Nam) Prawn Noodles is highly praised for its rich, umami-filled prawn broth, fresh and succulent prawns, and tender pork ribs, with many customers finding both the dry and soup versions outstanding.

While the new air-conditioned location and friendly staff are appreciated, some patrons note a slight change in taste from its traditional roots and occasional overcooked prawns or issues with the air-conditioning.
