    I have tried their Dry Hokkien Mee once before. Unfortunately it tastes nothing like Hokkien Mee. It tastes more like Mee Kicap with prawn & pork slices instead.

    the dry type is better than the soup, if you want to eat soup hokkien mee, go Penang island... this more than 20 years is famous with dry hokkien mee, definitely not the soup the portion is quite small and with the price, it is slightly expensive, service is okay and serving time is fast you will find some disappointment with the soup if you have eat any soup hokkien mee in Penang island, just try the dry one not the soup

    5 stars for their staff friendly and the way they serve their client. However their food is only so so. Not really like their coffee and milo. Was told by my cousin that they use machine to made the drink.

    Popularly known as 'Wah Tong' coffeeshop, it offers a different take of traditional Hokkien Mee (soup & dry versions) that goes back ages, now in good hands of the 2nd generation. The prawn soup base is sweet and different from the common variety found in Penang (also known as Prawn Noodles in other places). Besides their staple draw, they also serve toast, eggs & a good cuppa or coffee (ask for the Penang-flavour black). Price is inexpensive while the service is quick & friendly.

    If you looking for strong taste broth it might not be your liking. Average taste with slightly high price tag.

    Nice Hokkien Har Mee (prawn noodles) with stronger taste broth. Can order either soup version or dry (with dark soy sauce). Fishball soup is also available on the side as well as other breakfast classic like toast, half boiled eggs, etc. I was told this place is now onto the 6th generation. The taste might have changed a little since the 5th generation went into retirement-however still great taste (albeit now a little bit saltier than before), hope it’s just a learning curve on the new cooks as they’ll need some time to master it like the ones before them....

    Awesome experience! They have great service, take order with great patient for big group, near- to- no wait time, food is tasty especially chicken feet (tender with herbal fragrance) and, most importantly, clean washroom. For sure will go back again!highly recommend

    Their taste is weird, salty and without real fresh prawn taste. It's a shop rarely have a shop selling hoKKien noodles without the 'loh', they don't have that. If you're on diet, can try their bowl, smallest portion in butterworth@Penang. 价格贵,粉与料太少,味道奇怪,选择太少,没有loh汁, 茶不好喝,其饮品很假。 Services: Menu on wall hardly read, no photo. When you ask, their faces changed to ugly, not friendly at all. Place: Very busy road, many cars and trucks driving fast, hard to reverse parking you car, if you park in by front, when you drive out need to reverse, it's very very dangerous to do that in this road, beware of speedy cars, motorbikes, trucks. The shop small, too warm no air-con, customer sweating like hell. Cooking person also sweating, sweats dripping. Closed for a time and open back, price increased to 4.90 - 5.90. It's smallest portion of noodle in butterworth, price too high for the portion, taste, quality and environment. If you looking for nice HoKKien noodle, go for those around raja Uda selling in a kopitiam (Chinese Coffee and Food shop), which have many different foods. But not those near the Chinese Wet Market.

    We were rather disappointed with this shop. The dry Hokkien mee was just average. Nothing to shout about.

  • 3/5 John T. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw a lot of people outside waiting. Decided to check it out. Prawn mee nothing special, had a better ones before. Food normal. Service good because got one person controlling the traffic. Atmosphere okay

    Authentic Penang Hokkian Mee(prawn noodles). I like the dry mee with the separate prawn soup with fish balls. They special kaya butter toast also good.

    Ive been ordering food from this place through food panda for some time now. What im impressed with is their extreme hygienic packaging. I like how they contain the food in tuppawares. My personal favourite from here are their chicken feet and dry hokkien mee!

    Hokkien mee soup so so, hokkien mee dry is like noodle with soy sauce, toast not nice. Systematic food ordering is the good thing here

    My patronizing of this shop ways back to early 70's for easily 10 over years. . The taste if HKM still quite the same despite half of century and take care by 3rd/4th generation. Deep regret they no longer make the sai toh fish balls. At that time, the fish balls are very famous in town. Genuine sai toh fish.

  • 3/5 Huai Chih C. 1 year ago on Google
    Pricey. You would not find 😒 evan a slice of an egg for the big portion ordered! In the bowl was only a few thin slices of pork and a few small prawn. That's all.

  • 3/5 Allan C. 5 years ago on Google
    Average bowl of prawn noodle...pricy though.

  • 3/5 Money H. 4 years ago on Google
    Still the same taste as old times.

  • 1/5 Jun Y. 3 years ago on Google
    There is only a little pork slice and noodle with soup in a normal order of hokkien mee which almost let me feel like i am having a hokkien mee kosong.... Friendly service but the food was not satisfied..

    Food is average. The scan order system is not user-friendly and the lady boss has very bad attitude and acting rude towards customers. Not recommended
