The 14 best cheap eats in the West Coast Division

Atmosphere - clean & tidy environment with good ventilation (one does not get the oily smell on the body, hair & clothing dining inside the restaurant). There is also a separate lounge nearby (about 15 - 20 meter away) for big group dining, etc. Service - very good cashier & kitchen staffs. The supervisor/manager in black shirt helps to clear tables & served customers at waiting tables. Food - even though there is only 1 type of fried chicken flavour, it is enough as the fried chicken is very tasty. Fried chicken is served with Borenos sauce/gravy (similar to the whipped potatoes gravy) which made the chicken even tastier (no need chilli & tomato sauces, the gravy itself is good enough). The Normal Coke that came with the set meal can be exchanged with with Zero Coke without incurring any extra cost (Other fried chicken brands will normally put additional fee to this changed of drink request) - RESPECT - for not being greedy! Hope Borenos can expand to many more places (Tuaran? 😉 ) & maintaining the good standards all the time!

Awesome place to try fast-food. In my taste, they have better chicken burger than the other established fast-food companies. If I had the stomach, I would've tried other items in their menu too. The additional good thing about this particular branch, they have a lounge, which is a few stores down from the ordering counter, which is big and enough to hold bigger groups.

I visited this fast food store while travelling and tried their 2-piece fried chicken for lunch. The taste was just okay, but about an hour later I started feeling bloated, burping constantly with a disgusting smell that made me feel nauseous. I ended up vomiting and having diarrhea. Another hour later, I reached the airport and had to run to the toilet to vomit again — and even after my flight, I vomited a third time. I finally reached home at 11:30 PM and vomited for the fourth time. The burping smell was still the same and made me feel sick every time. The worst part is that I wasn’t the only one — all four of us who ate there had the same symptoms. My partner even had a fever and chills while pooping through the night. Definitely never going to try this place again. Eat here at your own risk!

Sounds famous so have a try. Have to say the chicken is very perfect. Delicious and juicy chicken for every bite. And the chicken is well fried.

It’s so good! Please open a branch in KL 😁 It’s different than KFC but it’s too good, crunchy on the outside tender on the insidd

I LOVE BORENOS! Must eat everyweek! Happy food happy life. Freshly cooked & juicy chicken ! Yummy !

Great atmosphere, good to bring along families and friends. The truffles fries is a good addition, very yummy! #zarinah#borenos

Went here for the first time with an unpleasant experience. I went here, the cashier service didn't know how to smile, didn't speak well and looked at us like we didn't have money. We asked what food was recommended or best seller but the cashier just kept quiet and didn't answer. Overall, the food service is very fast and delicious. Just need to improve the service. Ps: don't judge a book by its cover

The signature beef stew and chicken are good and tasty. Bean sprout was really fresh. Nice service. Overall a nice dining experience.

Love the Spicy Nasi Ayam & Beef Stew(SOUP) 💃🏻💃🏻 just like the old times🥺🥺 for the spring rolls too oily this time. Overall still my go to place to east. Very fast service and clean 👍🏻 but for open space there so many flies🥺🥺🥺 hope you gais can work something for it🥲

Used to be my favorite restaurant for lunch when I was staying & working in kk in my younger days. First time back after at least 17 years. The restaurant has moved from its original spot nearby Public bank with an upgraded look. I am happy to see this brand still thriving and growing. We ordered the beef stew noodles, the beef was really very succulent and juicy and the gravy is a really good portion and so delicious. I am also glad that the fried chicken with rice is delicious but not as amazing like I remembered it. But it is good nonetheless with the right amount of crisp and gravy. Finally, I also had the Vietnamese iced coffee, this was a combo with the rice. Aside from the beef stew noodles, everything else we had was fair, delicious food, but somehow lacking in something that I cannot quite describe.

They didn't have combo for spring roll with beef Stew anymore since 2019 🥲🥲🥲 so sad. Luckily beef Stew and baby khailan still good. Nescafe too sweet.

Went here for my breakfast (heavy). Glad that beef noodle soup matched my taste bud and of course almost the same with the one I have tasted Vietnam restaurant in KL (Pho Pho). The signature dish beef stew goes well with noodle and a little bit of soup. And the extra happiness is their stuffed chicken wings.. so yumss. Price wise? Affordable. And ambience kids friendly too.

Came here for lunch today, the staff here was incredibly attentive and polite. Kudos to the outstanding staff training! Your team deserves more than 5 stars rating for your service

Quiet and comfortable . Price is reasonable. Most importantly, the coffee is great.

(Translated by Google) T CULTURE coffee at 2nd floor. The cheesecake is very dense and delicious. The coffee is sour in the mouth, but fortunately the sour taste disappears after swallowing. (Original) T CULTURE coffee at 2nd floor。起司蛋糕很綿密很好吃，咖啡入口會帶酸、但還好吞下之後嘴裡的酸味就消失了。

👎🏻 1) Not the greatest tasting meals 2) all cutleries soaked in warm water with patrons dipping their fingers inside. Not the most hygienic 3) the sliced pork soap is really plain 4) really warm overall 5) hard to find car park

I ordered 干捞河粉，but unfortunately, I was so disappointed with my experience. The noodles were swimming in an overwhelming sea of salty soy sauce, which completely overshadowed the dish. The pork slices were thick, tough, and difficult to chew, making them unpleasant to eat. To top it off, the soup base was bland and lacked any real flavour. Barely a whisper of taste!! Overall, not the experience I was hoping for and definitely not worth the price.

Somehow, the pork noodles in Kota Kinabalu tastes different. The pork slices are so soft and the dry noodles are delicious. Perhaps, the secret to this delicious bowl of noodles is their sauce.

The Noodles is nice, the meats and the soup tastes good. Noodles + Soup = RM 12.50. The Yong Tauhu is okay, but the meat given is quite stingy. RM 2.50/pc The Teh Tarik ice is terrible, and it costs RM 4.50 with this small cup. Not recommended. Skip the drink, and order the food is enough.

This place's pork noodle is AMAZING. We tried the soup and the dry ones. both is equally good especially before a trip for island hopping. The place is very clean as well. we came when they open shop. Give it a try if u are here.

Considering I mainly came here because I was curious to try the specialty of pork soup and noodles despite being not a fan of pork, I was surprised how much I liked it. Flavorful broth, very tender meat and rich fried noodles, well complemented by hot sauce and soy sauce for dipping if you choose. Super friendly service and for the first time, it actually worked when I asked for less meat and more vegetables, and I could also ask for pork meat only, with pork balls etc. Only fans no AC, but it still was pleasant during lunch time. Once you order and pay at the counter the food comes out super quickly.

Tried: 1. Mixed Pork with Noodles (RM12.50) Rating: 8/10 - Tasty - Fresh Pork - A bit expensive by local standard 2. Braised Pork with Rice (RM13.00) Rating: 8/10 - Tasty - A bit expensive by local standard 3. Milk Green Tea (RM3.50) Rating: 8/10 - Rich green tea flavour - Sweet In general, the food was tasty. By local standard, a bit expensive. Accepts eWallet payment. Verdict: Try at least once

A simple food shop, you can either choose from the preset menu or customise Ur toppings. Reasonably priced and very tasty beef broth. Don't expect and vegs for this type of beef noodle ya. Would come back again, if I ever come to KK again

1. Taste: 4/5 2. Presentation: 3/5 3. Portion size: 4/5 4 Temperature: 4/5 5. Service: 3/5 6. Value for money: 4/5 7. Overall: 4/5 I find the soup a little too sweet, the meat not as soft like others i hv tried but having said that it wasn’t all bad. Overall not bad just minor imperfection here n there frm a fussy guy.

My sis recommended me to try their Ngiu Chap here, but when I arrived, I noticed they had Tomyam Ngiu Chap 😋. Since I’d never tried it before, I decided to give it a go—and wow, it was truly TOMYAM KAW KAW 🤤. The broth was spicy yet so full of flavor, the kind that makes you keep eating even while sweating 😂. Definitely worth it! Can’t wait to try their original Ngiu Chap next time.

Ordered the Ngiu Chap Special and Ngiu Chap noodles. The beef parts were nice but the soup is too salty.

My favourite Ngiu Chap in KK. The Ngiu chap and combination their signature chili is perfect match . Besides Ngiu chap , that also selling fish slice noodle soup. Dining area is big and spacious. Plenty parking space at basement with reasonable rates. Highly recommended

The beef soup is a bit plan but the meat is really soft and tender welly cooked,I would give it just a 7/10 as I like the soup to be richer, the Kon Lau Mee is quite got 8/10, the blend cili I didn't like it 3/10. Overall not a bad place to have ngau chap

Strongly recommend to try! The soup is clear but the taste is packed with a punch, totally unassuming from the look of it but was so good. Ordering is easy and seated at sheltered mall with fan, so quite cooling.

First time visiting, one of the long standing 24hr local restaurants located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu. The menu is quite vast offering multiple cuisines from fried rice to nasi lemak to local Mee tuaran(Chinese egg noodle). Drinks are pretty standard but super low quality, beware of the sweetness and condensed milk. They also have many confectionaries from bread to muffins, swiss rolls. The service is as you would expect with counter pay & table service. The atmosphere gives an authentic feel of local Sabah but we were constantly haggled by outsiders to purchase bread for them. Even after giving them some spare change(RM10 in total, yes multiple members from the same group kept coming), they will not stop haggling and eyeing us during our visit at the shop. We were frankly really appalled, just something to take note of while you are there. The food that stood out positively to me was the basic minced meat Mee tuaran, pls do not order the seafood Mee tuaran as it was much less flavourful and plain compared to the basic ver for a much higher price.. Overall, I would avoid this place if possible, but a relatively 'autentic' experience nonetheless...

I went to tapau fastfood for my lunch. I had rice with sweet and sour chicken, a piece of Mongolian chicken and a piece of fish with sauce poured over my rice. Rm9.50 only. Very cheap. The lady who scooped my lunch was able to answer all the questions that I asked regarding the food. Good service. The chicken and fish all tasted very nice. Not salty. Payment using QR code is very common in KK. Happy with visit to the 24hrs cafe. Plan to eat dinner there too.

Convenient place to dine in at the center of kota Kinabalu city. The shop is strategically located beside one of the oldest shopping mall in KK, the center point. Wide ranges of ala carte menu with affordable price. Economic rices available too but cost slightly pricier than usual. However the food quality is still there. Portion gave is average. Packed with people during peak hours. The shop gets slightly warmer during hot days.

One of the older food shops in KK where you can buy pastries & buns, and also order food to eat. They've come a long way and now rebranded as CFC. They also sell mixed rice, noodles, drinks, and other items. Most locals come here to take away because of convenience. Plus, the food is not too bad. Prices are reasonable too.

Workers here like daydreaming, mixed up everything we ordered even after communicating with them. After ordering Honey Chicken (which tastes sour) and Dumpling Soup Noodles, the cashier key in tomato fish soup noodles as our order. After changing it to dumpling noodles (cashier double confirmed w me if I wanted mee/meehoon), it came w just dumplings. Nasi Lemak ayam berempah took 25mins to arrive. Very bad experience here as tourists.

Open late. Cheap food! Clean. Courteous service. I ordered a TAKEOUT tomato soup with sliced fish. Average taste. No way was the soup tomato based. If you order a soup to take out to a hotel without a bowl, it's difficult to eat it.

A simple bowl of seafood noodle cost RM9.50. This is the standard of Kota Kinabalu. Seafood is fresh, the soup just nice, isn’t salty. The shop located at corner lot, right opposite Public Bank. There are many local shops nearby. It also sells bakery and pastries at reasonable price. Surrounding can be cleaner.

Food was just okay in comparison to other outlets. Our Café latte wasn't really hot, and so were the curly fries that were cold and slightly hard.

Chicken was dryer than my last 3 girlfriends and happy meals didn't offer the current Mario kart my nephew wants, burger was kinda hard and one of my friends drink was different from ordered, ice cream looked like someone discharged in the machine

Not the first time this McD branch in suria making a blunder, doesnt look like an inadvertant mistake. When you have already ordered for a take away, they later inform that they are out of the required items, and ask you whether you can wait for 15 minutes for them to prepare the order. Sure its alright, we are fine to wait as long as you provide us the required items. 20 minutes passed, and they passed you your food and you only realize at home that they have provided you the wrong order, and it is exactly the item that you have told them not to put in, and also how smart is that they tucked the takeaways up nicely so that you only realize things not right when you have already left the outlet. But the last straw is, this is not the first time. From an honest point of view, if the staffs here are not trained well enough or lack the proper attitude to cater standard McD service, kindly do not operate this outlet which is within CBD area and let other staffs who are more well trained and qualified to provide the service. I'll suggest the staffs here to emulate from the McD branch located beside CP. To the team of staffs on 14 May night including the supervisor who was at the counter, you know who you are and you have a very long way to learn on how to improve on your service and not to treat customers like some sort of charity event.

I like of their place is wide with comfy seats. Clean & the interior design look modern & stylish. The screen oder devices also work very well on touch more smooth. Only the food are not so taste than other 24 hours McD's.

I work nearby, so I usually come by to have my lunch or dinner here. I'll always get a large set of burger & fries cause it's my favourite. I will say the burger may even taste better than burger king, however the fries portions are inconsistent. It comes in the large size packet, but sometimes its not completely full and feels like I ordered medium fries instead. Other than that, I would still come here.

Nothing much for KL after 10 plus. McDonald is probably a good option ifbyou are hungry. Only thing is that the tables were not clean immediately after customers left.

French fries not good , not enough cooked, white colour

Pezzo from Singapore makes pretty legit pizza w more generous toppings and much bigger size per slice! Both topping and pizza base are thick and yums!

Way too loud, with subpar singers / cat stranglers, and no-one on the mixing desk has a clue how to work it. They're killing all of the business around them, they're so bad.

Peacefull eventhough hardly to get parking your car..

abit pricey but the taste is good.

Good pizza and good prices

good taste pizza

Nicd

When they first opened, I always ordered the Mala Chicken set because I loved how spicy it was..But now, their Mala Chicken is mild and not spicy at all 😵‍💫 it’s more sweet than spicy..I’m a bit disappointed, but it’s still one of my favorite Korean restaurants.

Absolutely delicious.. love the taste and texture.. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful.. been my favorite since 2021. It is very understandable that the order may take a awhile due to the lack of manpower... But they should've serve it all at once instead of one by one like Mamak.. totally ruin the mood.

I've been going here maybe about 2 to 3 times just because it's located nearby to my convenient place, I like the taste, but I am always very disappointed by their service here and I really can't give any more than 1 star for that, the price is expensive, yet the service is VERY VERY bad, every time took over 20 mins just to serve ONE meal, even there is no other customers around, seriously, please improve your customer service. We go there to get food to eat, even food that cooked upon order is faster than yours. EVERYONE JUST GO OTHER BRANCH IF YOU WANT TO TRY THEIR MENU. No wonder no one is coming. Well, I too, NEVER GONNA REVISIT AGAIN. SERVICE SUCKS, TIME WASTING, RATHER TAKE THE TIME TO RATE YOU A BAD REVIEW!

Raw chicken ??? Super bloody and uncooked fried chicken and yet they serve it to their customer

First time going to a restaurant with no " spoon" provided.

First time datang sini mau cuba, tpi kena serve oleh cashier yg totally biadap.. Doesn't listen to my order properly and still keeps mentioning the drink according to the menu.. And when I asked for the drink I wanted for the 4th time, then he says there's an add-on to that.. Knp xckap awal2.. No wonder no body goes here.. Cashier has bad communication skills and no manners.. Very lousy.. This will be the last time will be coming here..

Last week im make order from panda food... Actually i want try long time already but i dont have time... And i like eat fried chicken more and more... From picture all delicious.... But actually im very disappointed when im try eat... Chicken no juicy... But still can acceptable... But for kimchi and radish i totally can't accept the taste totally different from Korean... And they cut to smaller pc... I go korean before and the taste awesome... Hope next time i order got more improvement...

[ 04-07-2020, 7.07pm ] Order 1 x 2 pcs Chicken Rice + Savoury Rice Via Food Panda. Food arrived cold and sadly the rice was uncooked. The fact that the staff was working at that time knew the rice was uncooked and still serve to customer anyway is appalling. It always been my favourite meal to order, but never again. Disappoited.

Nice food, nice environment, nice band! Also got Pezzo beside SugarBun. Highly recommended for a chill 😉

Food is good and served hot. The surroundings feel a bit run down and dirty though.

Excellent place to relax.. varieties of foods.. open area with excellent tidiness..

I like their Fish N Chips, price reasonable. Their raisin rice is delicious, should try

Taste worst than mcd but similar price.

Been a regular customer for years. There's a band performing nightly. Some entertainment while you have dinner is a plus for me. Try the chicken mushroom and eco fish. One of their best dishes. For western foods, try the chickies and their mash potatoes. They are superb!

They made the wrong topping for me. I order peanut & choc crepe but they give me banana & cheese crepe. Plus, the topping is very few. The cheese is sour instead.

Those mentioned friendly staff must be friends of the owner. The woman is so rude, like I have to beg for her to pay her. They don't even deserve 1 star with such services

Friendly English speaking and Chinese Speaking staff.

friendly staff and the food is quite delicous <3 worth with price. I recommend people to eat here

We took almost 1 hour to wait for our food and the crepe were burn

(Translated by Google) Just bought, so far satisfied with the food. But pls the staff is very no manners.. rude. When we asked, the staff answered like people who are underpaid.. the owner should check this review, the service is very slow, it takes almost an hour to wait for just a few sets, while the staff has 3 people. Btw, the very rude staff today wears a black hood with glasses and is skinny! Please answer the customer very well, the person paying is not asking for free! (Original) Baru sahaja beli, so far puas hati dengan makanan. Tapi pls lah staff sangat no manners.. biadap. Bila kita bertanya,staff jawab mcm orang kekurangan gaji.. owner patut cek this review, service pula sangat lambat, hampir mau sejam juga tunggu beberapa set saja, sedangkan staff ada 3 org. Btw yg sangat rude tu staff today pakai tudung hitam berkaca mata dan kurus! Tlg jawab pelanggan tu baik2 ckit, org bayar bukan meminta free!

(Translated by Google) I had the chocolate banana crepe. It's so good because it's baked so crispy. (Original) 초콜렛 바나나 크레페를 먹었어요. 바삭하게 구워줘서 너무 좋음.

Bought happy meal for my little sister as she saw the ads (get mario cart toys) and hoping to get it. Most of the staff was friendly and polite. A bit of sad part as the staff give us this. already ask the staff if can change, but cannot.hopefully can restock for other. Not a happy meal for us😅

Yesterday, I bought three pieces of chicken, but all of them were wings, which were quite small. If the chicken had been bigger, I probably wouldn’t have raised this issue. Additionally, the service was quite slow. I waited for about 30 minutes, even though the staff had initially told me it would be ready in 5 minutes. I understand that things can get busy, but I hope the restaurant can improve the speed of service. Perhaps consider adding another staff member at the front, especially at the cashier, as there were several customers in line to pay who were not attended to promptly. I hope the restaurant can improve its service for a better experience in the future.

I oder Spicy Beef Burger with Egg and take away….Once I reach to my workplace and enjoy my food I notice that my Spicy Beef Burger didnt have the ‘EGG’…….GJ👍

Service pick up / Drive tru too slow !!!!! I ordered 6:18pm. Even 6:50pm still didn't get my order !

Precisely at 10:40pm we arrived to the drive thru section. There is a barcode to scan for ordering but the line in that area is bad to the point we can't order. Proceeded to grab staffs attention by flashing car light but got ignored instead. No assistance and acknowledgment. Please resolve this or else I believe the gas station area is much more efficient.

My first visit here was great, especially with the drive-in facilities at McDonald's. The crew promptly came to take my order, and the preparation was quite fast. Parking was available during my visit since it wasn’t during peak hours, but this place can get heavily congested, especially on weekends. Overall, so far so good.

McDonald's is a franchise company that should maintain it standard. Hope they keep the place clean and improve service to customers.

Sabah White Coffee provide must try Sabah fresh fruit juice n must try Sabah white coffee and must try Sabah local drinks n must try Sabah foods... Very special Sabah local F&B experience for you n family or friends..

Very good price for all coffee beverages
