"The clay pot lamb, sweet and sour pork and fish is really tasty, but the prawns and vegetables are just normal. Waited for more than 30 minutes to get the dishes being served, because it’s crowded, but worth to try it! Next time should reserve table and foods before come, so don’t need to wait too long time."

"Had the best ku loh yok ever here. Highly recommend the fried rice, kangkung belacan and signature taufu too. No wonder my dad keeps craving for it since he first visit 40 years ago. Four generations of good food, hopefully more to come."

"This shop closes after lunch time. We finished our lunch around 2pm and the shop closed for the afternoon after we were done. Ordered 3 dishes, Pork Rib King(排骨王), clay pot toufu and baby kailan. Pork Rib King (排骨王) was a bit tough. Not all pieces were marbled, so depends on how soft you like it. I like it soft, so not really my preference. Baby kailan with oyster sauce was really nice. Maybe because the oyster sauce tasted nice Clay pot toufu had pork in it. The pork had a strong taste/smell. I guess they didn't parboil the pork first. Not a fan of strong pork smell/taste. Overall ok. RM34+ for 3 dishes + 2 rice + 2 drinks"

"Chinese restaurant, popular among local. No air condition or fancy decoration. However it make it up with delicious foods and friendly waiter. Cleanliness and pricing is average. Popular dish is fried fish with sweat and sour sauce and claypot toufu. Parking seem limited but can park around those housing or shop area as long as not blocking traffic. Do serve beer"

"Ordered the sweet and sour pork, kangkung, fish and fried rice. It was really delicious and we were so surprised by the price, total came up to RM 67 for 2 excluding beer price. The owner was really friendly and food was served fast ( we went after 8pm). Overall 10/10 would recommend and visit again. The food was so tasty that we didn’t even take a picture"
