Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Soon Lee Fish Porridge Seafood Soup is consistently praised for its generous portions and fresh fish, making it a reliable option for a hearty meal.

Reviewers frequently highlight the 'chunky amounts of meat' and the 'fresh, thick' fish slices, noting that the quality and volume are outstanding for the price.

The clear, sweet broth is a recurring positive, often described as 'not those MSG kind' and 'brewed with care,' appealing to those who prefer a lighter, clean taste.

While some long-time patrons feel the quality has slightly dipped since a change in ownership, the consensus remains that it offers good value, especially with dishes like the mixed fish soup with rice at $6.50.

The $12 red grouper thin bee hoon soup is also a popular choice, with its 'seemingly endless pieces of fish.' We'd recommend trying the Fish Head Soup for its rich, savoury broth and substantial portions.

Be prepared for crowds, especially during dinner, but the ample parking helps.

It's a solid choice for a satisfying bowl of fish soup, particularly if you appreciate fresh ingredients and generous servings.

Crowded but for a good reason. The fish portions are great and most importantly tasty and parking is also a breeze here. What’s there not to like?

A satisfying hot bowl of fish soup. Went for the $12 red grouper thin bee hoon soup(they have no thick bee hoon, nor do they add milk, which is welcomed). The soup is clear, not overly salty to make…
