The 25 best spots for soup in Kuching

Four of us couldn't finish the big portion of 1-pax fried rice and veggies. The Mango duck was nice and tasty, this dish was served with 8 spoons of mango and duck.

the food is superb, so far the best meal I've had in Kuching. looking forward to be back at this restaurant again in the near future.

We had originally intended to eat at a nearby Thai restaurant only to discover upon arrival that it was permanently closed. Bla Bla Bla was virtually next door and based on typically good reviews we decided to eat here instead. Access to the restaurant upstairs is via a number of paving slabs set over water, ahead of the stairs. The layout of the restaurant is relatively simple, but airy thanks to the airconditioning. Various alcoholic beverages feature on a very extensive menu that offers all manner of Asian fusion food. We ordered the black pepper beef, Thai style crispy chicken with mango, and a midin salad. The first observation about the portion sizes is that they are quite large. We probably could have ordered just the one main course between us as we struggled to eat everything that was brought out. The black pepper beef had an intense, but not overwhelming, flavour and the beef was tender. The chicken dish had quite a chilli kick to it that was moderated by the mango, and this combination worked well. The overall price of the meal was somewhat higher than in similar restaurants in Kuching, but this was probably more a reflection of the quite large portion sizes.

A rather nice atmospheric spot, although the service could be better and the food as well for the price. The signature cashew nut prawns are unfortunately not worth it. Ask them for unshelled option (and pay 8 MYR more), if you desperately must have them. We could have chosen better in Kuching. 🤷‍♂️

The stir fried Midin/fern and the Pandan chicken was amazing! The rice/noodle dishes say they are for one person but the portion is huge, so I think they mean portion for one if you’re not getting any other dish.

The food is nice and big portion but the price is abit pricey , don’t expect too much about their service .

The environment downstairs was good with water and stone. The food portion really big. Some of the food taste is good and some so so. What I don't like was that it took them an hour plus to cook me the food. I waited for hour plus, yet the table beside who came later than me already been served. I called the waiter and he was very unhappy and ignore my calling. What kinda service is this? If you're not happy with too many of customers please set the limit of customers to dine in. I can wait for half an hour but not an hour plus. Don't do ur business like this. Never go back.

We ordered a drink and a few dishes. As we sent our order we realized there were two other tables waiting for their orders. Our orders then slowly trickled out. The last one was the dry wonton. Not sure why so slow. The restaurant was not even busy at the moment. Out of a few things that we ordered the beef rendang was the best. The taste was just right. Everything else was too salty for us.

This place offers Laksa, Beef Noodle, Mee Siam, Wonton Noodle, Snacks (Banana Fritters, Homemade Meat Roll, Fried Dumpling, Fried Chicken Wing, etc) Toast (Peanut, Curry Chicken, etc.), etc. Prices below not yet include Service Charges and Tax. Atmosphere: 4.25🌟 Was told that they have renovated. The place looks clean and new with air conditioning so its quite comfy. However, there's limited number of seats as the shop isn't too big hence gaps between tables isn't too big. The tables and chairs are solid though. Service: 3.75🌟 Though, we did do booking earlier and apparently another group just seated down and not sure what happened and they didn't ensure to check the seats are reserved for correct group. They managed to help us to combine tables so all of us can be seated together so that is appreciated. Another problem is one of the food (Mee Siam I think) came very late so everyone has to wait for the 1 person eating. Not sure if they forget the order or something but I think they can do better to manage the servings. Food: Sarawak Laksa Special 4🌟 Honestly, even though I didn't try a lot of Sarawak Laksa back in KL and only tried 1 hawker stall in Kuching, I can feel the gap between them surely. The broth has the distinct Sarawak Laksa taste which personally I'm not that much of a fan of it. However, the taste of this bowl does make you feel Sarawak Laksa indeed has its place within the good curry flavored broth soup in Malaysia. It also has very nice aroma and flavor along with it in the broth and this makes this bowl a standout for me compares to the rest of the Sarawak Laksa. The special version comes with 3 big prawns that size is hard to find in KL. Priced at Rm 14.80++ Snacks: Banana Fritters 3.5🌟 Its good and its different than the usual flakey crunchy fried bananas. The banana is wrapped fully with a layer and it looks nice, clean and still pretty crunchy. Still, not as crispy/crunchy as most flakey types. Drinks: Flavored Fruit Tea 3.25🌟 I had Strawberry Mango which taste quite good and it comes with this chia seed thingy. Priced at Rm 2.50++

Friendly staff, very cozy atmosphere, lot of variaty of food, after order, the food come very fast, taste was very good, Lot of Local menu like Kolo mee, Nasi lemak, Laksa and soon, the price are affordable, Must Try when visiting Kuching.

This modern spot has a good selection of classic Malaysian favourites, including one of the best Nasi Lemak we had in our six weeks in Malaysia. Their half-boiled eggs and kaya toast set (with coffee) was a solid choice as well. We also enjoyed their beef noodles. You can’t go wrong with this spot. Definitely recommended.

We were a bit disappointed with the food we ordered — it was salty. The coffee wasn’t good, and the service was lacking. I hope they improve them.

Lame Laksa and Beef Noodle Soup; nothing like one's accustomed to in taste.

wow, the nasi lemak is really good. rendang is not the usual peninsular style. this one has stronger black pepper taste but still retains the core rendang taste. Laksa is definitely on the stronger taste side for a sarawak laksa, but no where near malacca nyonya laksa heavy taste. really enjoy it, its a go to place for a quick comfort meal. service was efficient and parking is easy.

Food: 5/5 Ambience: 3/5 Service: 3/5 This is perhaps the golden standard for Sarawak Laksa, the Kuching version. Even without additonal whistles and bells, in the absence of fancy ingredients or an attractive venue, this laksa stall shows up consistently as one of the top laksa in town. My usual place for a laksa fix when in town. The laksa broth is rich, prepared from a strong prawn stock, spicy laksa paste, perfectly balanced with the natural sweetness of coconut milk. It is served in small bowls with minimal standard toppings, as authentic as it can be. I usually have a bowl of kolo mee to accompany my Sarawak laksa whenever I can, enjoying the best of both worlds. #foodphotography #foodhunter #foodie #foodreview #foodblog #foodblogger #foodreview #foodiegram #foodies #delicious #deliciousfood #goodfood #singaporefoodie #malaysiafood #kuching #kuchingfood #sarawakcuisine #sarawaklaksa #laksa #pohlumlaksa Check out my food reviews on my Instagram page for more!

If you're visiting Kuching and haven't tried Sarawak laksa, you're missing a vital part of the city's culinary soul. And when it comes to finding one of the best bowls in town, Poh Lam Laksa at Jalan Abell should be right among the tops of your list. This local institution is no hidden gem — the secret's long out. When we arrived, the entire kopitiam was packed to the brim, with a snakelike queue weaving its way out the door. Despite the 20-minute wait, the moment we were seated, service was lightning fast. Our bowls arrived steaming in no time, and every second spent queuing melted away with the first spoonful. The laksa itself? A masterclass in balance. The broth is mildly spicy with just the right touch of heat, allowing the complexity of the spice blend to take center stage. Creamy yet feather-light, the coconut milk adds body without overwhelming the senses — a comforting warmth without heaviness. What really makes it shine is the depth of umami. The prawn-based stock, likely enriched with dried shrimp, delivers a bold savoury punch, while a gentle squeeze of lime cuts through with a refreshing tang that keeps each mouthful lively. Topped with shredded chicken, fresh prawns, soft omelette strips, bean sprouts, and herbs, it's a textural and flavourful symphony that lingers in the memory long after the last slurp. Rightly recommended ‘

One of the most famous Sarawak Laksa stalls in Kuching. Locals will tell you about which other places they prefer, but they come here and queue for this anyway. Absolutely delicious and my favourite form of laksa over the Singaporean and Penang ones.

One of the most famous Sarawak Laksa in town. Some may say it doesn't taste as good as before but for me it is still the best Laksa in Sarawak. Whenever I am back to Kuching I never miss it.

Must try when you are in Kuching. Small bowl is RM 8, big bowl is RM 10. Close at 11.45am and every Tuesday.

I would say over-rated as one of the best don't quite get the hype. 3 small prawns, few small pieces of shredded chicken and some beansprouts, no eggs for RM10 (Sept 2023). Mild broth not too salty and small portion. Go elsewhere if it's packed and need to line up, definitely not worth the wait. If this is your first time eating Sarawak laksa as a tourist then you would think it's really good. But honestly go to any other shops/foodcourt they all taste the same, and probably cheaper with more ingredients. Not to mention they give you less than half teaspoon of sambal to go with you laksa!

A local kopitiam vibe, order tea C special rmb to request less sweet..Laksa was tasty

If you’re into Sarawak Laksa, most people will point you to Choon Hui. In my humble opinion, they make a tasty bowl of laksa but not necessarily the best bowl. Apologies to my Kuching friends but I truly believe the best bowl of Sarawak Laksa is to be had in Petaling Jaya at Lao Mao Cafe in Megan Rise Mall. To be fair, it’s not an apples to apples compare as the bowl of Sarawak Laksa at Lao Mao cost slightly more than twice that charged by Choon Hui. So the quality of ingredients and spices used in the broth are at a different level. For the price that they charge, I have no complaints about what Choon Hui delivers. A simple delicious bowl of noodles. Had the Kolo Mee here too. Think the noodles are too soft and the dry mix is a little bland and needs the vinegared chillies to provide some complexity.

Choon Hui Cafe in Kuching is a popular stop for tourists. The Sarawak laksa here is delicious, with a rich broth and well-balanced toppings that make it very satisfying. However, what stood out for me the most was the popiah — fresh, packed with flavour and served with a tasty dipping sauce that really elevates it. A great place to enjoy some authentic local favourites.

This place opens and closes very early. We came around 1015 and the place was still packed. The kolo Mee shop was already closed for the day. We got the Sarawak laksa and a porridge. The food was ok. Nothing too outstanding. By the time we are done, the laksa have finished even before their closing time of 11am. Parking is a huge issue as there really was very limited parking.

The laksa sarawak is nice, took the small bowl and the portion is nice and cost rm8 The only issue we had no cash🥲 They dont accept card and QR. Probably will be more convenient if they have that service. Even the drinks guy-doesnt have QR code Had to run to nearby bank across the road to withdraw money. Nice place to try,but pls carry cash with you.

The laksa wasn’t quite to my liking. The broth was creamy but lacked the strong prawn flavour I expected, so it didn’t feel very balanced. Prawns were fresh, but the noodles were slightly overcooked, and I unfortunately found a strand of hair in the bowl. The kolo mee, on the other hand, was better - a bit on the dry side, but the shallot aroma was fragrant and flavourful. I also ordered Teh C Special, but it came with ants. They did replace it, though the second cup still had ants around the rim. Service was polite, but overall the experience could be improved in terms of quality control. it

I think this is one of the more popular and touristy coffeeshops in Kuching recommended in quite a number ot social media sites. Visited on a weekday morning and didn't expect this place to be so crowded. I was also recommended this place by a friend and decided to come here to try the popiah and laksa. Managed to get a table after a few minutes, but I didn't waste time and I ordered the laksa while waiting for a table. Could see they were busy but it didn't take long for the food to be served. Had a try and it was not bad, I didn't try a lot of laksa here but I thought it was one of the better ones. Couldn't see the popiah stall so I asked someone and apparently it wasn't opened. Disappointed. Then ordered the special teh c and decided to get the toast as well. The teh c was good and the toast was even better. It exceeded my expectations as it was so crispy and the kaya was light. Not a bad place for breakfast do expect crowds and hope I get to visit again and try the popiah. There's a kolo mee stall too if I remember correctly so its a place where you can try most of the local specialties. Recommended.

Breakfast at 645am, no wait of cause, parking was easy that time. Its has very limited parking space, maybe 8-9x max. The laksa was good. Sin Chuan Choon laksa still the best in KCH. At city center.

Tried that three layer lo bak was quite salty. Just tasted average.

Came for breakfast. Ordered a popiah and fried cha kway. The popiah was average but it was cold. Realized that this is how people here sell and eat popiah. The fried cha kway is like fired carrot cake but it is not tasty as the kway is luke-warm and dark sauce is uneven spread.

The Kuey chap broth is not that thick and tasteless and price for RM9 (Small) Not my favourite place for Kuey chap and portion too small. Popiah is good and the ingredients are thick. Western breakfast is acceptable too and price is much cheaper. But Char kueh is recommended as it taste good.

An old coffee shop that has been operating for a number of years but not as what it was in its heydays as some of the stalls have changed hands. But still one of the better ones, where you will be able to find most of Kuching local food for breakfast.

1st meal here and tried a few dishes which I concluded with my taste buds are average. It tastes local. The hot coffee tastes weird.

👍🏻 1) Cha Kueh is truly out of this world 2) Friendly services at the Cha Kueh 3) Fast services 4) Kolo Mee also tasty, good services 👎🏻 5) beverage is below par 6) Prices for the beverage, is comparable to the small portion of food price 7) Warm, ideally to dine and leave ASAP

I would say most people come here for 2 extraordinary food. The vegetarian fried carrot cake and the kueh chap. Of course the cafe offers more varieties than the mentioned 2 popular dishes. I tried some of them they are good as well. The only draw back is the crowd, limited parking space.

Had mee sapi for breakfast. Taste is just okay. Portion is quite big. RM9 for the small bowl.

This one is halal restaurant in Kuching. The specialty here is Mushroom Mee. The sauce have unique taste different with common Kolokmee that you can find in Kuching [ for me it's taste good ]. Chicken and mushroom sauce was good. The noodles portion is quite a lot. The price also good. Worth to try !

Interesting halal twist on kolo mee, and it’s actually kolo mee. Most halal “kolo mee” is actually beef noodle but this one actually serves theirs with chicken charsiew. And the charsiew actually tastes pretty good. The other toppings were meh and the mushroom was on the sweet side, like very sweet that it kinda ruin the dish. The complimentary soup was deceptively full of flavor, super sour and spicy, but definitely an acquired taste. Be careful with that thing. Parking is limited, especially on weekdays.

Staff are friendly and easy to locate. Served with chicken with no pork and lard, and sweet sause alittle unfamiliar flavour in comparison to the original. Would recommend if you do not eat pork in your diet.

Amazing laksa, will come again!

Many people hyped about this place. And it is disappointing at least for me. Have tried it twice. With kampua red and white and both is meh tastewise. And for rm6 per plate i thought the taste gonna be better? Have been eating kampua since forever so i know that there are plenty of other places in kuching where you can get cheaper and more delicious than this. Hype does not equal good. My opinion.

Clean place with nice affordable food. Their Nasi Ayam Geprek n Mee Kolok Mushroom is recommended for those who is looking for a diff kind of mee kolok

Is it good? Yeah. Is it worth the off-peak wait? Eh So how this works is as such — you queue for a table, then wait for the old lady to ask for your order. Even though i didn’t rush her (I just kept looking around to see if she had noticed me), she came over to scold me to “Wait” Even though I showed up in the late morning with no queue for a table, I still had to wait for 45 min before my order was taken (soup & kosong), and it took yet another 15 min before I was served. The noodles were incredible but the soup was really only alright, where the liver was definitely overcooked. Skip this unless you’re ready to lose 2 hours; I’m sure there are equivalents that are just as good

Sorry, it’s really not worth the wait. 30 minutes just to get a seat and another 30 minutes to get the food. If you’re hungry, better not come here, because you might even get gastritis while waiting. When the food was finally served, the konlo mee was indeed delicious, but the mixed soup was just average. Nothing special, just some seaweed added into the soup. Really not worth it. They only speak Chinese, so if you don’t know the language, it’s quite difficult to place an order. All staff are elderly. To improve their service, they need to hire younger workers to handle the noodles and soup section. They should also add more preparation stalls so that the preparation work can be done faster.They also need to wear head covers and gloves when preparing or handlings food. Prioritising cleanliness when handling food is very important. Price is ok. Happy tummy happy customer 😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Authentic Taste! Had breakfast at Noodle Descendants, Padungan — one of Kuching’s true local gems! The noodles were smooth, springy, and perfectly seasoned, topped with crispy fried shallots for that nostalgic homemade aroma. The soup was rich, flavorful, and packed with tender pork slices, fish balls, and seaweed, giving a comforting, well-balanced taste. Despite the queue, the service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere felt authentically local — simple, clean, and full of Kuching heritage.

I decided to drop in at Noodles Descendents, after I was told that this is one of the many famed Kolo Mee houses in Kuching that locals patronise. Depending on what you perceive to be Kolo Mee (the crinkly curly wheat noodle type), in my opinion as a tourist, Noodle Descendants does not serve Kolo Mee. For me, Noodle Descendants serve what seems to be a local (traditional) version of the Hokkien or Teochew Bak Chor Mee 肉挫面... Wheat noodles with pork and pork offal and innards. Regardless, I ordered mine to come with the thicker, wider Mee Pok 面薄 noodle rather than the typical Mee Kia 面仔noodle commonly used for Kampua Noodles or Wanton Noodles. And, it has vinegar too, which if you dislike, you need to tell the chef beforehand. Overall, the noodle and accompanying soup I had is very similar, if not the same, as the ones I had at Kim Joo in Chinatown, Kuching. Although similar, both are unique by their own standards. Both noodles at Noodle Descendants and Kim Joo were simple and traditional (that I was told), but not mind-blowing---with the use of pork lard and fried onion oil combo, black vinegar, soya sauce and probably MSG as the noodle base, with slices of lean pork, minced pork, Char Siew pork, pork innards and offal to accompany. The soup, whether offered as a side or purchased additionally was surprisingly bland... 🤔 The significant difference between Noodle Descendants and Kim Joo was that Noodles Descendants gave slithers of pickled mustard greens, whilst Kim Joo gave bean sprouts (Dao Gey 豆芽). Service was relatively good, although the older lady whom I believe is the co-owner was rather loud when she spoke, but it's simply because she aged and probably now harder in hearing. Overall, although not extraordinary or mind-blowing, I did enjoy Noodle Descendants' noodles after putting in some light soya sauce and cut chillies. If I am within the vicinity, and crave for such type of Teochew/Hokkien noodles, I'll definitely drop in.

Tried this famous restaurant in kuching and ordered their kolo mee. Actually it's good, but not that special for me. And considering the services, which is really slow, and the place itself was really hot, i dont think I will come back to this place again.

Sorry but really not worthy of the long wait... Don't order the normal in soup in the pic as it's bland and not very tasty although the mee tai mak is chewy. The other soup with kosong is much nicer and flavourful but still I don't think I would want to wait again...

This shop is located in a very crowded place. Parking is quite a challenge. Coz you may need to park far a way. However if your hotel is in surrounding area that will not be a problem. It is within tourist area too. It has established since 1957. It’s a family business, they maintain their technique and way of preparing the noodles in a very special. Most important it is to my liking. It’s like eating at home. Below here are my observation results and things that I like: - the noodle is cooked properly (very hot) so till the end of your meal, the noodle is still warm - the sauce is just right - the soup is to my liking: i don't like internal organs, so mine has only meats, sliced fish cake, fish ball and minced meat. You can have the soup with rice, bee hoon, mee pok or kwe tiaw. Their system is like this: - come and queue for empty table - when it’s your turn, the waitress will assigned you the table. - you wait the drinks waitress to take order your drinks - there will be another waitress who takes your noodle order - then you wait till the food is come. ^_^ it's not super fast but not super slow (depends on the crowdness). - you eat after finish then you can pay directly to the cashier at the back or ask the cashier to come to your table. (better you go to the back)

Place is small....a bit dusty...food was however not so bad...low salt is a definately good thing nowadays...vietnamese coffee was quite sweet so if u want low sugar tell them beforehand as they use condensed milk

A pale shadow of what it used to be. Pork Pho... key is the broth... but a huge letdown... diluted taste. Missing was the ubiquitous pungent flavour and taste of fish sauce. Can't the meat be sliced through? Instead of hanging off each other for dear life? Oh dear...

My favourite dish here was the dry rice noodles with pork chop. The pork chop is superb and perfect match with the vermicelli.

Ordered takeaway. Pho was not great. No herb fragrances from the soup. Sauce combination for vietnamese spring roll is not good either. Roasted meat so stiff and taste abit like metal, it's difficult to bite and swallow. Overall, not authentic, not pleasant. Dishes I've tried, all lack of herbs. Alot of unnecessary plastic usage that can be cut down.

Food is delicious. This is my favourite place to go when I feel like having Vietnamese cuisine.

Food is good and the place is near with one of famous bar in Kuching

There were some cockroaches going around. The place was depressing. The fried noodles with beef was really bad, the beef was cooked on the street with propane or whatever gas and it was tasting like gas. The spring rolls tasted only so so. Not more to say, we barely finished and went to the restaurant on the side to have a nice dinner.

Worst place to have breakfast. Karen waiter and manager. Laksa sarawak tastes so bad. Roti canai planta is just planta and so bad. Mee kolok is just so so. Slow service. Rude waiters. Nasi goreng ikan terubok took so longgg to serve. Overall is just a very worst and bad experience with worst and rude workers tq :)

Kopi O Corner in Kuching offers a variety of local dishes like Mee Kolok, Laksa Sarawak, and Mee Jawa in a cozy atmosphere. While many patrons appreciate the prompt service and cleanliness, some have noted a decline in food quality and customer service over time. Prices are reasonable, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

The restaurant’s quality has really gone downhill. The service was just okay. I asked the waiter to wipe the table again, but they used a smelly cloth that made the table worse and ruined my appetite. They also forgot part of my order. The food wasn’t great either, it was much better 8 years ago The atmosphere was bad too :) there was dust and cobwebs on the ceiling, walls, lamps, and even the bike decor. It looked messy, like a haunted house, and the dust triggered my allergies. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience this time!

Food and drink was alright! Variety of food but only for limited time (for breakfast) All in all, if you don't know where to eat, you can come here! Mee kolok was okay

We saw this restaurant from the road and decided to try.. we dont regret our visit here as everything was good except for the table that we sat at the back was quite hot.. waiter was very attentive and friendly.. food tasted good and fast service..have few stalls here for you to choose..

Nice hipster + old school style cafe .. many delicious local food that we tried - Nasi Goreng Kambing, Mee Kolok and Mee Jawa (with Satay Ayam). Affordable price.

The restaurant is clean, service was fast. We tried nasi goreng and terubuk masin (must try), laksa (okay2 only), nasi campur & teh ais C (quite nice, I think they are using gula apong). Overall, good experience..price is a bit pricey but it is okay.

This restaurant offers some decent Japanese food. We've been dining here for years and have always enjoyed their dishes, especially the potato salad. The service is okay, though they did try to squeeze 11 of us into a small table once despite our reservation. Overall, still a good spot!

A dependable Japanese dining spot in Kuching for those who appreciate fresh seafood, traditional preparation, and a calm atmosphere. The sashimi here is fresh, with a clean, melt-in-your-mouth texture that shows good ingredient sourcing. Their sushi rolls are well-balanced, never overloaded with sauce, and the rice is seasoned just right. The grilled items — especially the salmon and unagi — come with a beautiful char and rich flavour. The unagi was tender, glazed perfectly with a rich, sweet-savory sauce, and had a smoky aroma that paired beautifully with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Tofu is a little too hard to my liking and the chawanmushi, we think it is tasteless but it is silky and smooth.

One of the best sushi outlet in the city. Plenty of parking spaces and the food served is real fresh. You can order a full salmon course (sushi,sashimi, fried rice , skins ) and able to accommodate for 10 person. Food is moderately priced and reservation is recommended.

Love the sushi here. Clean, and easy to park with direct road access (no need to go through a mall). Suggestion: please make the menu more visual, not just names – easier for customers to choose.

Top-notch sushi spot, especially known for their excellent salmon and fresh oysters. Service could be better, but the seafood quality makes it worth a visit.

Have some good options for the usual Japanese fare. They have some cold cut sashimis and sushis.

My usual order but with a little surprise this time by adding a flower to it. Appreciate the creativity which brought delight to my day!

Yeow Kee Kopitiam is always bustling with customers and it can be quite challenging to find a table, especially during morning breakfast hours — waiting for a spot is almost expected here. One of the must-try dishes is their pork meat dumpling soup. The dumplings are delicious, with a smooth texture and no trace of pork smell, making the soup light yet flavorful. Another popular choice is the laksa which is rich and tasty, served with a generous portion of ingredients and bee hoon. The prawns and toppings give it a satisfying balance of flavor and substance.

Tried a few dishes from Pang Onn and while most were just okay, the fried rice was a huge letdown. As you can see from the photo, it was way too mushy—almost like sticky rice. Definitely not what we expected. Prices were also on the higher side, which made the whole experience a bit disappointing.

I was having a national day breakfast at this kopitiam. Order teh c ice drink but is surp sweet with no teh taste. Despite reminded on the drink required. Food roti is nice with butter n kaya toasted. The “ 水餃「 is nice at RM10 per plate but very big piece. As for laksa is nice but the chicken meat is tasteless. Hope can be improved. Kampua is nice will come back again.

Tried the homemade noodle stall just in front of the shop. Taste is not bad. Also tried the pork paste “Wanton”, tastes is not bad. Personally, I preferred the normal Wanton with mince pork.

This place is always crowded and hard to find a parking especially in the morning until noon. So, I would like to choose the evening time. And I like to order the ginger pork with rice and lady finger which are very delicious and good taste. Their food price is reasonable. The staff is nice and humorous.

Has a good selection of food but it is often crowded. The chairs are stool style so it is best to dine in quickly rather than lepak for a long time at this kopitiam. The laksa has a huge portion but the flavour is very mild, almost diluted, so it was tough to finish. The dumplings were pretty good and tender, one of the most famous dishes here.

Came here for 饺子面only. Tasty and super good! Beverage/ drink: 👎🏿👎🏿 overpriced, too expensive!! if 饺子面stall move, I’ll not come here again.

Honest review....its no lonher as good as what it use to be. Not worth the money we pay for. Prices of pies almost as Secret Recipe's pie price. Apple pie taste so bad. I don know how its called apple pie when there is no taste of apple in the filling. Pastry of chicken pies so chewy and filling taste bad. Really hope changes can be made.

This place has a very cosy environment. Had spaghetti here and it tasted good. Portion was large and prices were reasonable. This place has a large variety of pie's. Bought 2 pie's for tea also. Definately recommended for pie lovers!! 😊😊 Will come back again to try other dishes on the menu. 👍🏻👍🏻

For Food: I like the chicken cheese and beef cheese pies, its recommended to have than other pie. For smoky hot beef pie, i don't know if there's difference taste with the beef cheese one, for me, same taste. The lasagna ok, like awam taste, nothing special. the cottage pie ok nothing special, it just that day i got a bit burnt on top of it but still ok. Next, the lamb pie, its somehow taste/smell hanyir from the meat they used, so i dont really like it, also i dont think its exceed the dates from its made it just the meat itself, smell hanyir. so, for people dont really care about the smell, the taste is still ok 5/10, but the meat. For pastries, apple puff and banana cheese puff too sweet. if blueberry puff its sweet and just nice to eat. it is more balance than the other 2 puff. next, matcha cheese tart, the matcha taste is ok not too strong but the red bean combination is not suitable for me. it kacau the taste of matcha with cheese itself. i prefer matcha cheese itself without red bean. blueberry cheese tart i love it just nice and balance. Lastly, for muffin, both double chocolate and vanilla, the taste/smell of vanilla extracts (i think) too strong. and if you eat them time sejuk, the muffin rasa kering, and when you eat it, akan rasa muak and rasa haus after eat it. Overall, the pies, if makan time dah sejuk, rasa still ok same goes to the pasta. For the service, the staff are okay and mesra, still be polite, recently there's only one staff work, a bit hectic there but still can serve customer with patiently. For the atmosphere, a bit kotor, the lantai the meja. 2 last week i came, i sit at one table ada like crumb bread. there's 3 or 4 staff there, i don't remember. and for the toilet, ok, xda horsepipe but weird the toilet tissue got all wet when i used the toilet.

Best pie in town. First time dining today and great place to relax with jazz music. Staff was friendly and service was fast. The pie has the taste of its own and still taste as good. Thumbs up!!

Ordered 2 Long Black Coffees, 1 Chicken Pasta and 1 Chicken Lasagna. Chicken lasagna was creamy and the pasta was quite good. Bill totalled to rm40. Good value for it. Would like to come and try other food from the kitchen.

Beef steak pie, chicken quiche and egg benedict are what we usually have, simple and good. If you want to have family size quiche, place your order a day before. Small nice and cozy place. Give it a try.

Quiet place to chill in the morning. Limited to 5pax dine in during MCO/CMCO. Ordered from the brunch menu and the food was good better than i expected but it took quite awhile to prepare so if you are in a rush or looking for a quick bite maybe stick to the pies. Place was clean and staff were friendly. Would have liked if the a/c was turned up abit more though.

We arrived 15 minutes ahead of our stipulated booking time. Upon entering, we were greeted demurely by one of the waitresses. We were ushered to our table and the menu was brought out soon after. They offer a huge range of dishes that should placate most of your cravings, from poultry to seafood or even some Middle Eastern cuisines if you fancy some. We ordered the lamb and chicken chop. When the dishes arrived, we were taken aback by the portion, it was HUGE! For those of you who are cost savvy, you'll love the amount they provide here. The food itself was positively delectable. The chicken was cooked to a nice juicy crunch while the lamb, tender and flavourful. The only letdown was the mashed potato. The texture was far from smooth and flavour wise, it could use a bit more butter and salt. My beloved and I will definitely come back here for another bite when there's a special occasion. Those of you who love Western food should definitely give this place a try.

At first I was a bit skeptical to go here as some said the food isn’t that nice. Food was delicious and yummy and somewhat didn’t have to wait too long for the food either. Lovely ambience, not too busy. Lots of food and drink choices. All the food that we ordered were yummy except the marination for the lamb chop was a bit too much and too sweet for me. So yeah all good. Would come here again in the future.

If you happen to be in Kuching - Capital City of Sarawak State Malaysia and wish to have a Relaxing ,Comfortable and Romantic Dinner amidst the Green not too far away from City this place is definitely worth considering.It is located at 17 Lorong Parkland 93300 Kuching Sarawak. This is a Single Storey Bungalow Building with Greenery around and served Competitive Western Food . Free Parking in front and beside it.Latest addition is the SHARWAMA DELIGHT beside.Enjoy your Visit .

We came for lunch on Saturday. It was the best lunch-out I ever had with my family - we were the only customers from arrival till departure! Felt like having lunch at home but with a different kind of cozy environment, and romantic 80's-90's ballads playing softly in the background. I like the portico lamb chop the most, even though it looked unappealing at first glance. The meat was tender, juicy, and none of that typical 'lamb meat odor' that often puts people off lamb. Same goes to the chicken chop- tender and juicy throughout without being dry. Kids really loved the pizza and the crunchy chicken nuggets. Drinks were okay, nothing special as we only had iced milo, ribena longan, and hot latte.

This was 10/10. Portion really stood out. The atmosphere was a bit dim for my liking. The whole place will probably look different if we had dine-in in the day time. Service was really pleasant. Staffs were helpful and friendly. Thank you for your service.

Good parking. Ok Ambience but the bell to attract a waiters attention is annoying and destroys the atmosphere .Staff are ok .The roast chicken was almost inedible .The chips/fries were cold, the salad doused in bottled cocktail( thousabd Island) sauce .The chicken leg had been frozen, and the meat and bone was dark brown .It did not have a good taste .The gravy was good .

Good ＆Very delicious environment is very unique

Good food. Friendly staff. Drinks were pretty decent for the price range. Loved their selection of cocktails and shots!

The best cocktails in Kuching !!! Love the vibe, the people and most importantly the drinks. Their shots and Long Island tea is my favourite.

Western restaurant with cozy ambience for dining and drinks. Had juicy smashed beef burger and Spaghetti aglio aglio.

Best Spanish food in town. Must try!!! The flavours are very good. Service is great.

Cozy upstair for function and event. Ground floor with high stool for beers. Excellent Spain foods. Tried it and liked it. Fabian, the manager is friendly.

So so only.. meatball spagetti was soupy... hurm... paella was halfcook and it was a bit too spicy 4 me..

The food is great! Ambience is nice! Love it there!

Actually it is open in the morning and noon by his brother. Taste are identical. I love drop by after visit Indian street. Love it! ( Review on 6 jul 2025 10am )

Open Air, one of the legend spot in Kuching. This is one of my go to Kolo Mee. The special about this Kolo Mee is they used straight noodle instead of Sarawak signature Q (curl) mee. Got mee pok as well. The red one taste slight sweet like the cha sau sauce but slight. Noodle is well cook and the taste always maintain the same. If not mistaken day time is usually the elder brother thats cook and at night is the famous uncle that cook the kolo mee.

Quite a lot of customers. Overheard the kolok noodle owner said some people tapao the noodle to KL and UK. For me, the taste is not bad. As per the siew bee, it does not suit my taste. Soya bean taste nice. The place is very windy

This place is awesome!! The food is absolutely WOW The uncle cook by himself.. Surely will back again when visit kuching

I ordered the twisted noodle red kolo mee. The noodle was al Dante and the sauce mixture tasted really good and not too sweet. So far this is one suit my tastebud. Service is fast and staff are friendly too. It is near the Indian lane at the food court (red color roof)

Came across mini food centre during evening stroll. This is among few stalls open in evening. Noodle is served with red sauce, not spicy. Cooked just right. Ordered the big portion with different ingredients. good taste but a bit pricey at rm18

Wanted to try the red noodles after the other day was passing by. Normally in hawker centers and street food when they specialize is because they are really good at their single or limited offerings. So this is the case, the cook controls the noodles to perfection so you get this kind of sweet taste red noodles spot on. They look spicy but they are not.

Only went here for a beer. Service was ok. Beer very cheap, the cheapest I have found in Kuching 👍

Used to a nice hidden gem for lunch or dinner that serve delicious affordable food & cold beer. My latest visit the food quality hav drop, portion got smaller, price got more expensive. Food consistency & eatery cleanliness need to improve

Strategically located in Kuching's Business and Commercial are eventhough it is right above a restaurant and next to a bistro / discotheque that can be uncomfortable during weekeend due to clubbers hang out

Johns place is exactly what I love, eating with local people cooked by locals , family food , Im from Spain and my Squid 🦑 dish was cooked perfectly with plenty of spice , been here 4 times never disappointed, if your European like me or even worse American, don’t come here then write a negative review it was 3 star for your 2 dollars , stay away from eating at local places for local people that want to enjoy authentic food, keep to your tourist trail , if you don’t have nothing nice to say , say nothing at all 💃 or call yourself Boss Man 😂👿

I love John's place. The service is good and fast, the food is delicious and it's very affordable

April 2024 : Cantonese Mee RM10 portion is a lot, nothing to be upset about but I cannot think of anything special to say. I can taste the MSG but it is not too bad, just acceptable. The ingredients are boiled well. The egg drop could have been better. Good friendly polite service. SPay and DuitNow are accepted. I wanted to try the laksa, three times, no luck, two times close, today not available. I do not mind coming again. I finished my meal.

The rooms were cozy and tbh, this so called "John's place" is one of the best budget hotel in the city. The owner both were nice and warm and they still are! The staffs were hardworking and helpful in so many ways. Will definitely visit again. And ohya, they too, have fine little cafe that serves varieties of scrumptious dishes and the prices were reasonable! And don't forget their 2nd budget hotel nearby called "kuokpin hotel" a few blocks away. Such a great experience in my honest pov. Thank you John's place!

Firstly, the food is good and service not too bad. But today, (16/3/24, around 3.35 pm), my husband and I walked in to take away our food to break fast (berbuka). Usually, I’ll check my orders before I leave. Sadly, I didn’t do it today. We ordered 3 pieces of chicken and we thought we would at least get 1 thigh or meaty one, but instead all 3 chickens were so small. Disappointed. Guys! Please check your food before you leave. Avoid getting disappointed when you’re hungry.

The fish grouper asam pedas is just ok. But the glass noodle fish soup and the mushroom soup are must try meal. The chicken broast is equally good.

Catered for panda food delivery and grab food delivery. As usual take the body temperature before enter the premise. The premise is clean. Food quite nice. Price are moderate

Service too slow. Cashier too slow. Very slow cashier. Please improve. Good food.

Nice fried fish with rice- portion very big. Two people could share. Cheap

The attitude of the staff here is much better than other branches, and the attitude is amiable.

A more modern take on an old local favorite, Really nice & clean aesthetics, friendly staff and good atmosphere, small but not necessarily confined , still comfortable. Your typical favourite sugarbun menu, unless you're looking for pezzo, hopefully that comes later. This is a good concept store of what sugarbun could be.

June 2025 We came back after passing through this 肉骨茶shop several times. Good flavor and generous portion. Served many great cool drinks with the soup. I’m also happy I can purchase other food from the stores in both side. By the looks of the crowd, this location has many loyal customers. Both dry and soup were flavorful. Will love to revisit if we are nearby.

Taste normal and average. Don't expect something special. Can order dim sum next door.

My favourite bak kut teh restaurant in Kuching. So tasty and very good price. Lovely staff too.

Generous servings of spare ribs with bits of peripheral pork belly, stomach and placenta for the soupy ones. The dry variety has all the cuts from the pork leg. Not as much selection as other places, however, the broth does a decent job.

MUST eat the meat with garlic, delicious. The garlic will boost up the taste. Must eat yoo tiao with the bak kut teh. Dip the yoo tiao in the bak kut teh sup (yum). Price not cheap but not too expensive. RM31.30 for 3 bowl of rice, 1 bak kut teh with sup, 1 dry bak kut teh and 1 bowl of taufu. The store close early when I visit today. 7.30pm already no more, so need to come early.

Extremely polite waiter. Hot piping Bak Kut Teh. Strong herbal taste. Excellent braised chicken feet.

Bak Kut Teh (small) : RM 21/bowl Taufu Pop : RM 3/bowl Soursop Drink : RM 3.50 Bak kut Teh tastes so so for me, but ok lah. The soursop drink is the no no, avoid it.

One of my favourite hometown foods would be crispy noodles and crispy fried wontons. The best time to come for dine in probably around 630pm-8pm is not too crowded and you may parking front of their house or opposite shoplot parking 🅿️. There’s no menu shown here but you may check it out yourself for the foods that on other customers table. Is extremely hot here without any fan provided for dine in, you can bring your own portable fan if you do have kids together.

The tomato mee and kolo mee are the favorites here at this residential house converted to an eatery. Popular among the neighbourhood families for dinner and you may need to wait for an hour during weekends. They have good fried kuey tiaw with aromatic wok hei too. The house is located below the flight path of planes landing and taking off from the nearby airport. Also, there is no washroom for customers.

Homey (literally) kopitiam at a big corner house with classic Sarawakian dishes. Crispy tomato mee and kolo mee are among their top dishes, but they also have other noodles and fried wonton. The drinks are canned or packed (fruit juice) as they don’t brew fresh drinks.

Best Tomato Mee in town 🍅🍅

The food yeah I get it its nice but the customer service super bad. I waited for a whole 1hr and 30min for 3 pack of noodles for takeaway🙄 They priorities all those people who order more even when they came late than me. Keep asking me to wait even when they knew i came first. Really bad service.

KT felt like the dry type,not the fresh type coz texture reminds me of that. Not smooth silky compared to before. Wok hei not there either. Confirmed what my dad said, beh hojiak Liao compared to before.

Had food positioning on 12th Sept 2019. Vomited & diarrhea. I had no other food & drinks in other places so I am sure having food poisoning from here. I had the Crispy noodles in soup & fried dumplings.

I came to visit this place to try it out because I read about it on social media. Visited on a weekday lunchtime and it wasn't crowded at all and there weren't other customers. I ordered a small bowl of laksa and sat down. The female staff didn't take very long to prepare and served it to me at my table. A small for a price of 9RM I thought was rather reasonable looking at the amount of ingredients in the bowl. Quite surprised its a hawker setting but the dish was so well plated. Finished the laksa and didn't feel satisfying to be honest. It was a decent bowl but there is nothing to rave about it. Very average bowl. I had to order some satay to complete the meal. Satay was not too bad either and I thought the combination was not bad and felt more contented. Reasonable price for a normal bowl of laksa with relatively big portion but its just overall very average. Worth a try, it was my first bowl of laksa in Kuching.

I love this place. Along the beautiful lane of Chinatown. The vibe is awesome. In that area there's lot of Sarawak food to choose from. Mi Kolok, Laksa, buffet of breakfast. I tried Laksa Special. Finished it down to the very last drop.

It's just a basic Malay style food hall with a Laksa stand in the middle on the right. I came here to try the highly recommended Sarawak Laksa and was not disappointed! I had the basic Laksa for 10 MYR and it was great. A simple good value local dish. I will come here again for laksa

It’s a small area with about 6 food stalls with one specialising in pork satay (they were delicious) shop beside fish ball soup (again delicious especially with the chilli sambal condiment) and then the Sarawaken special laksa which I had a few days ago. The broth is the key here. Not spicy at all however you can add chopped chillies if you like (I did near the end) Comes with seafood- a few scallops, plenty of prawns. Set the bar high as far as laksa’s are concerned

Shared tables with other stalls in Malaysian style. The Sarawak laksa was delicious (i tried the classic one), among all the ones I tried in Malaysia, it was the best! Nearby there was also a satay stall, but unfortunately they had run out. Still, they looked really good!

It's a food stall in a local food court so don't expect much about service and atmosphere. The food, however, is amazing. Downright the best laksa I've had in Kuching. Hot broth at the right consistency, you can taste the individual herbs in it, prawns are fresh and the chicken meat was succulent. What else you can ask for? Seriously this place is really worth the try. Pair it with jus kedondong from neighboring drinks stall and you're good to go. We also ordered pork satay from another stall nearby. All good. Happy belly and happy traveler.

The best Laksa in town 😋🤤. I love the rich flavour of the soup, I can smell and taste the herbs but it's not that strong. The one I ordered is the medium one , perfect size for me (I skipped lunch after that 😄) Avoid coming here during lunchtime or on the weekend, not easy to get a table .

Every time I go their attitude is getting worse. Maybe they think they're a bit famous. Where else can I find these traditional snacks? I don't want to spend money and get a bad face from them!

Was looking for paper wrapped bipang, a lady told me they had changed the packaging, so I bought total 8 packs so called “new wrapping” bipang. The taste wasn’t that nice as paper wrapped, and told by people around that was the trick they told customer when they don’t have paper wrapped bipang in store. Dishonest behaviour, proceed with caution.

Stuck up attitude and thought they are the best. Maybe for the older generations but now there's competition everywhere. Also very stingy with their samples and I heard the guy ( manning the cash register) told a small boy don't eat too much of the mooncake sample.

Poor customer service and bad attitude. I won’t shop here anymore.

Brought overseas friend to purchase some local titbit, asked the chubby short counter lady some questions and she started to be impatient and raised voice (???) just because you were once famous doesnt mean you can be so ego hello?? Anyway, havent tried the other titbit as of now, tried the bird nest rock sugar candy and it was just only sweet, not as good as it was before. If yall wanna get local titbit i suggest yall to get it at other store, dont waste your money to be treated like a trash. 1 star is even too much

Don't go there. Selling mouldy and harden dumpling.

THE PRODUCTS AT THAT SHOP NOT BAD

Food was nice. One of the best laksa i ever tasted. But the luar kedai is too hot i need to eat as fast as i could 😂 next time i try to eat inside the kedai ✨

Nicee..kaw laksa soup..little bit spicy..overall food here taste good. The sambal also nice.

Very popular laksa place. Almost always sold out by 11am. Go early!. There is PA Mee, Kolo mee and Kampua as well. Highly recommended.

Her laksa is above average, the shrimps are fresh, recommended.

Super delicious Laksa in sarawak

Best laksa in town. Don't miss it

A better laksa outlet with long wait

Very nice bowl of local beef noodle! RM12.00 for a big portion and I ask for beef slice only. The chilli sauce is different from others which is perfect match with the beef noodles.
