One of the best service I've had in a Chinese round table restaurant. Uncle who took our order was patient and friendly. Lady boss took some time to talk to us (and matched my dad's usual banter).

Food was great. Yam basket and pork was crispy and flavorful. Fish was fresh and smooth. Soup was really good with all the ingredients. Vegetable was decent.

Would definitely come back for more on the future.

This establishment boasts a diverse selection of seafood options, featuring highlights such as the exquisite Sri Lankan crab priced at RM 180 per kg (though leaning towards the higher end in terms of cost). The menu is impressively extensive, catering to a wide range of preferences. However, the overall taste experience falls somewhat short of expectations, tending towards the mediocre side. Parking is another issue.

Long established restaurant in this neighborhood. Portion is big. Taste good and worth coming back!

My neighbourhood favourite and go-to casual Chinese when cravings hit for noodles, stir fries & seafood. Never been let down by the good ingredients, classic preparations and the friendly team.

Food took quite awhile to arrive even though there weren't many customers. Food was alright, taste is quite plain and healthy.

Decent Chinese food but at Bangsar prices

It has been more than a decade since I came to this neighbourhood joint.

I cannot fault the taste of the food in general, which is lighter on salt and flavour except for the yam ring, as people do like their food simpler (and healthier?). That said, the food did not wow me in anyway.

The best dish of the evening was the Hokkien Fried Mee (no strong kan shui taste). The yam ring was perfect in texture but the chicken overwhelmed the dish by its spiciness. The superior soup yin choy was ok. The king spare rib had a strange yellowish batter and the seafood tofu claypot lacked taste.

A pleasant meal altogether but it would not be the first name on my Chinese restaurant list.

We made a reservation via WhatsApp to dine in during lunch on a Sunday and it was a great decision as they had limited tables during lunch time. The lady boss was gentle and very welcoming, not pushy at all and gave great recommendations on food. We enjoyed the steamed egg with many toppings, marmite spare ribs and many more other dishes. Definitely worth making a trip down to eat.

Type: Chinese Restaurant
Signature: Seafood and Chinese Dishes

Restoran has been around a long time and I have personally visited many times (and food was so so only)...so we decided to give it another try. However, on the overall.. the food remains bad. Seriously dunno why the Great reviews. For starters.. The Sweet and sour pork (2.5 🌟) which is like a food taste barometer for Chinese food... is bad. So you can almost forget about the rest of the dishes.

As a run down.. We ordered Ling Ngou Soup (2 🌟) and it was tasteless. The Salted Signature Crab 🦀 (1 🌟) was so cooked that it tasted like rubber (despite reminding them not to overcook the Crabs). Scallops with Bacon roll (3 🌟) was ok but not really up to my standard. Well most other dishes we tried were all below average. Service is bad and food here is expensive. Dont think will ever return here again.

Taste Rating 3/10
