Summary 3.5/5: average service, food value for the price and venue/brand.
Service 2.5/5: No matter how good the food is, if the experience is bad, customers will only remember it over the food. It was the same for us. The lady waitress serving our table was good and courteous, because of her effort, their service is getting a pass. Details of my bad experience below.
1. When we were there, no staff at the door/reception at all to receive any guest. About 5-6 staff all surrounded to take order from 1 single table, we had to walk in/barge in just to get their attention, yet we had to wait for another 5 minutes before we were brought to our table ?.
2. We made arrangements for a birthday celebration, per confirmation ,they were supposed to serve the free dessert after our main course. But it seems they have totally forgotten about it ?. The night when we were here, their business was slow, not busy at all. No reason to overlooked.
Food 4/5: We didn’t order a lot, but the food were on point and value for money. I particularly love the fried rice with Black Truffles Scallop and Egg White, it was so flavourful that you can smell the truffles the very moment they put down the rice. The Szechuan
hot and sour soup was appetizing and not too spicy, just that the portion was a bit too small. The beancurd
with sauteed asparagus and mushrooms was ok but forgettable. The free dessert was really nice, very nicely done.
Atmosphere 4/5: 5 star restaurant at 5 star hotel, elegant but old fashioned decor… Like the relaxing environment and the view to the park.

Authentic ingredients, prep and cooking style. Just like how it should be! Bias that Klang wantan mee is better, but hv to say this is just as good if not on par! Reasonably priced for KL. Air-conditioned portion available. Only thing, parking is a challenge. Enjoy folks!
traditional feel Chinese restaurant with good service, tsar xiu mee, fishball mee, i ordered fishball mee for only 6rm, excellent mee, nice quality fishball. Around 800m from Pudu LRT, a must try
The noodles is just okay, and the char siew is 8/10 just got some special taste that I didn’t eat before compared with other.
The back street is very stinky if u ever walk pass, but the phenomenon in the place is quite ok.
An old looking no frill place for you to come for the food. If located in a different area (eg the refurbished Petaling Street area), this place would be considered rustic. In any case, the noodles texture is very nice, char siew is just so so but the bit that takes the cherry are the wantans, nicely flavoured and packed with fillings. A small plate of char siew wantan noodles with drinks set me back MYR12.50.
An institution in the Pudu / Loke Yew area, Hung Kee has been dishing out their famous wantan mee for decades now. While parking is a chore, it’s possible to find a place along the street outside the shop at night. Forget about it during the day.
The famous dishes here are the wantan noodles (nice and springy), the char siew is also a delight. But the highlight for me was the sweet & sour pork, done in a long forgotten, old-fashioned style that is super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Most patrons would rather flock to the air-conditioned dining area adjoining the original store, and there’s even a semi-private dining room with two tables.
Prices are a little above average, but it’s not deterred the flock of never ending people coming here for the humble wantan noodles here. Must try.
