    First time here. Was told that they are famous for their range of fish-related noodles. Steamed fish with hor fun and spicy-sour fish head bee hoon are some of the more popular choices. Their menu is simple, so you won't need a long time to decide. Tried their nutmeg drink, tasted pretty good. Pricing was a little on the high side though.

    Signature hot & sour beehoon soup is superb! Steam horfun with fish is good to try too. Portion start from 1 pax. Hot & sour soup paste is available for sale in bottle or individual packaging. Staffs are friendly. Place good for both breakfast or lunch in town. Closed on Tuesday.

    Come here if you like nice fish noodle soup and nice steam hor fun. Very traditional in tatse and the sour and spicy soup is highly recommended. Besides they do sell other side dishes like special tofu, prawn salad and etc. Service is fast and friendly. Normally crowded by both locals and tourists.

    The steam hor fun with soy sauce & fish is & the sweet sour bee hoon r something u don’t get in many places. Their home made tau fu is the signature. Overall service is fast as we were there at 2pm, almost their closing time 🤣

    I used to love their slice fish steam hor fun, but it's not as good as last time anymore. The soy sauce is not as flavourful as before. The fish used is very fresh. Went during breakfast time, but they're already out of vermicelli. So forced to order fried instant noodles, which doesn't taste so good. Their signature beancurd is really delicious. Looks very simple but tasty.

    Ordered the signature dishes, noting that the steam hor fun has options of either whole piece or cubed fish. We prefer the whole piece as the texture tasted better than the cubed. The hor fun was thin and smooth while the fish was really fresh. Could have easily gotten 5 stars if not for the after meal effect of MSG

    Wong Chau Jun's signature dish is their beehoon (rice vermicelli) served with fresh grouper in lemongrass soup - the sour and spicy flavour of the broth has a very unique flavour. Another good dish to order would be their steamed hor fun served with fresh grouper and soy sauce. Other dishes worth mentioning are their signature bean curd, honey chicken and stir fried pork belly. Do give this place a try for some authentic traditional Chinese cuisine!

    Spicy sour fish bee hoon broth is so appetite. It served in claypot. Fans of their steam hor fun 😋 Good option spot for family breakfast/lunch.

  • 4/5 Ronnie C. 6 months ago on Google
    Fish head bee hoon here is good. I like the fried fish head. There's normal soup and sour/spicy. I used to have the sour/spicy one but recently change my taste to the normal soup. Cost RM30 for two bowls and two drinks.

  • 5/5 CY K. 3 years ago on Google
    a must try restaurant, usually for all locals. instead of having char kuey teow on next street, i would recommend this. 1. sweet and sour fish noodle 2. steam hor fun 3. signature tofu first time having food here and not worry about price. just eat and it is not expensive either...

  • 5/5 Jay C. 4 years ago on Google
    Their signature dishes sour and spicy fish bee hoon is a must! Another signature steam fish hor fun not bad also but I prefer the sour and spicy one. Other dishes like bitter gourd and tofu taste good too. Recommended

  • 4/5 Kevin G. 2 years ago on Google
    Fish meat noodle are awesome, currently not yet allow dine in, waiting hour and queue are long.

  • 4/5 - C. 6 months ago on Google
    Sour meehoon soup酸辣米粉 very nice, like the sour soup. The toufu surprising very nice, very soft and smooth inside the fried skin. Steam fish kueytiow not bad. Ordered fried bitterguard too but just taste so so for me. Food nice but they serve very slow although we went at not crowded timing.

  • 4/5 Eric T. 1 year ago on Google
    A restaurant serving noodles (soup, fried or steamed), dishes (fried vegetable, beancurds, fish, etc.) and other food like fish, chicken and other meat too. The noticeable dishes are sour spicy (fish slices) soup and sour spicy meehoon soup. Above food is average in taste but pricey.

  • 3/5 pong G. 9 months ago on Google
    Just a average and no suprise. No just my opinion, dining with other. All give the same opinion. U can get serving in alot other place. The only nice is tofu. Order more than in photo. But no ohm to take more photos

  • 4/5 JH L. 1 year ago on Google
    ordered signature tofu, steam fish kuey zap, and fish head bee hoon…all food were great and fresh…but portion wise is small and insufficient for 4 pax

  • 5/5 Benny T. 1 year ago on Google
    Yummy signature dishes, steam hor fun & spicy sour bee hoon, both are delicious. The waitress are very patient and friendly to explain the dishes to us as we made the wrong order.

  • 4/5 Chong Khong C. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered signature steam hor fun with sour spicy beehoon. Food taste good and fresh but too much ajinomoto.

  • 5/5 Pui Cheng L. 10 months ago on Google
    This is such a down to earth surprisingly place. My fav is the spicy sour meehuon soup. It was so appetizing and decent in portion. You can opt to buy their thick spicy sour sauce @RM22 to cook at home. Good stuff! As for the steamed hor fun with fish, the fish was fresh and the flat fat keow teow was soaked inside the fish sauce. U can imagine like noodles with an usual decent steamed fish kind of kicap sauce.

    Their signature tofu is superb. The hot and spicy steam bee hoon is delicious too.

  • 5/5 Gurunathan G. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has amazing fish noodles! My kids are fussy eaters but we had to order their homemade tauhu multiple times as they loved it so much. Highly recommended. They close at 230pm, and we showed up literally at 2:20pm on the eve of Chinese New Year - and they were so tremendously gracious + hospitable. Made us feel so welcome and went the extra mile to make us their speciality dishes. If you get a chance, you *must* check them out 👍👍👍

  • 5/5 JuVin S. 1 year ago on Google
    The dry noodles with fish slices were delicious. We enjoyed it so much we ordered a second serving. It’s not very easy to find parking here so you’ll need to grab any available parking spot nearby and walk a little.

😠 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...
