Nice food, reasonable price , service good. Will visit again
The owners are friendly and make it a point (based on my past experience having visited the restaurant twice) to ensure that their customers are comfortable and enjoying their meals. The roasted pork was crispy and was a perfect match with the garlic and in-house sauce. I particularly like the wok hey of the Hokkien mee. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.
First visit and was impressed with their food. Will definitely visit this restaurant again!
Tasty and gmfrrsh seafoodss, will definitely be making my way back again
Valet parking available right outside restaurant. Food tasted decent though the small portion of Kai Lan was really small, like palm size portion. Wait staff service were efficient. Waiting time for food was also reasonable given the resto was busy. However, some small flies were hovering over a set of cutlery/utensils at our table. Gents was also dirty and smelly with someone smoking inside. Need to step up on hygiene. Bill came up to slightly more than $100 with 2 meats (both small portions), 2 vegetables (1 medium, 1 small portion), two main carb dish (both small), tea and appetiser for 5 pax. Overall ok experience and might visit again if in the vicinity.
Good service and good food option and portion. Convenient parking.
Felt welcome by friendly staffs. Food are pretty good and the crabs are very fresh.
Foods are ok but prices are on the high side.
Two of us ordered 5 dishes--Salted-Baked Flower Crabs; Deep-fried pork belly marinated with fermented bean paste; Roast Irish duck; KL Hokkien Noodles; Kai Lan. (1) On Ch 8 variety show, the lady boss told millions of viewers that the plate of 4 baked flower crabs cost less than $40. However, when placing our order, we were told that 2 small flower crabs will cost about $40. (2) The so-called Irish duck that was served to us did not taste like Irish duck, tasted more like ordinary duck. It also did not look like the yummy roast duck featured on TV! (3) The deep-fried pork belly had more fat than meat. (4) The waitress recommended kai lan for our vegetables dish without telling us the kai lan would be deep-fried. Both of us are health-conscious people and will never deep-fry our vegetables. We always have blanches or stir-fry vegetables. (5) At other restaurants, a small serving of noodles is usually enough to fill up 3 or 4 small bowls FULL. Over here, a small serving of KL Hokkien noodles could only fill up 2 small bowls NON-FULL! Quantity is too little and unjustified for the price charged. (6) When placing order, I requested for less salt, less oil and no MSG. However, when all our 5 dishes were served to us, every dish was very salty. Usually restaurants will add a lot of salt to dishes when ingredients are not fresh. Both of us find the food there disappointing despite strong recommendation by the 2 TV hosts and guests.
Good service & ambience although location tucked in north of the island. (Chose this place for son’s convenience who’s doing reservist). Food tastes average notwithstanding the longevity mini buns, yam ring & hotplate venison taste great!
Food is delicious and service is excellent. Will visit in near future again.
Nice ambience and the dishes are tasty. Esp the charcoal tofu. The staffs are efficient and attentive too.
Overall the food and the atmosphere not bad for gathering
Foods are good . Nice place to have dinner here
The table near to the entrance is very noisy especially a big drum is just place behind our table. Kids come by to play the drum. Suggest table should not place at the corner.
Made a reservation early and managed to get a private room for my mum's birthday celebration. Staff were very friendly and attentive, service was great. Food was yummy and ordered some based on staff recommendation. Try the crispy roast pork belly, charcoal tofu, oven baked fire chicken and salt baked flower crab!
Food is good except a bit slow but staff are cheerful n polire
First time having dinner there but everything is good!! Waiting time for food was ok despite being dinner time and was really crowded. Affordable prices for the food as well, my family were all very satisfied! Will definitely recommend and go back again 👍🏻
Food were overpriced and too salty for my liking. Portion was miserable. Generally, food quality was only ok but not great. Don't believe everything you saw on TV show helmed by local celebrities. They will always be full of praises and not criticisms. Half an Irish duck for $38 !!!! I may as well head down to the famous Chan Kwong Kee (S'pore) Roast at Loyang where the price is S$48.00 for 1 fully grown duck. Customer service staff attitude was friendly and good though but certainly not the food.
Every dishes was so delicious. Loves to go again. Thank-you! Service was good too.
Food was delicious, especially the fried pork. Service could be faster though.
A place which I will certainly recommend to go for meals or gathering.
Ok.good food, car park is free. But location abit offshore
Happy to see Famous Kitchen are well patronise. Well done! Generally food are good. I did not know I need to preorder the flower crab and didn’t have a chance to eat. Disappointed. Will try next time. During peak hour service kind of affected. Will visit again to try other dishes.
Quite good but service very slow but not bad ok
Nice ambience for family however the taste of those recommended dishes are very normal.
The food are normal and not worth the money. Will not patronise again
I personally find that the Hokkien noodle was not impressive.. it was too sweet.. I visited as the variety show 午餐吃什么 recommended it. On the show, the lady boss mentioned 4 flower crabs for less than $50 but I was billed $41 for 2 crabs. I felt disappointed and cheated in this case.
Will not come back again as I felt the service towards the end was bad. I have to walk over to counter to make payment as no service crew attend to me
The food was good. Love the homely environment. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Food was great, service was fantastic and it is not pricey.
