    The kway teow soup is good. The fish balls are small and not as bouncy as others I've had. Good amount of shredded chicken in the bowl. The teh ice and cham ice are good too.

    Best Koay Teow Thng in Town. The soup base and fish balls and choices of add-on are great! Soothing environment

    Very nice ambiance surrounded by potted and hanging plants. Only one stall selling kuey teow thng inside the kopitiam and I ordered a bowl without pork intestines. Soup is natural sweet, kuey teow is smooth & fish balls very springly. Overall a 5/5 for taste. Good price at Rm5 per bowl. Certainly a good place to try out for fish ball kuey teow soup lovers 😉.

Auntie and uncle busy preparing the food wishing their have arms and legs like an octopus 🐙, yet auntie did not forget my order, came just in time for my growling stomach. Satisfied.

    Tried the koay teow Th'ng, it's more towards the old style taste. The otak otak was not bad as well. Beverage (kopi o and milo beng) was normal. One thing to take note on the shop is the owner have green fingers. The plants in the shop are all very well taken care of. Parking can be a headache so feel free to park in new world park and take a few steps to this shop which was around 100m away.

    Koayteow soup was slight above average. Homemade fishball too small and lack of flavour. 3 stars

  • 5/5 Henry K. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this by accidnent and didnt know about their famous kuey tiow noodles but i did ordered one, great hearty breakfast, bread is alright, kopi is definitely tasty, otak2 is delicious and the white curry noodles outside their premises is definitely local taste and not touris-y

    Simple koay teow soup with the kochabi old coffee shop style dining experience.

  • 5/5 HM C. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious home made fish ball okay teow soup. They will give free pork bones and soup towards closing time.

  • 2/5 Michael C. 5 months ago on Google
    If you like clear and almost tasteless soup, this is the koay teow Thng for you. The fishball is nice, either than that - nothing else to shout about unless you are looking for almost tasteless clear soup. The price also a bit steep for Penang, normal for RM6 and big for RM8. Hope my next experience might be better

    Curry noodle look like good but don’t know why the chilli taste like mouldy smell, can swallow at all Kueh Teow and yam cake are acceptable

😠 I reached at around 2:30pm and still need to queue till 3:00 pm. Disappointed with the food because the deep fried fish roe and fish are hard rather than crispy. The gravy is also so so only.

👍 Queue seemed quite long when we arrived around 2.30 pm but we only waited about 20 minutes. I think they should have more signage to tell customers what to do so the process can be easier. There was only one waiter upstairs in the seating area so it was quite difficult to get his attention. Food is...
