"I have been here multiple times and it's a nice place to just sit down with a couple of friends and chat. They offer various food choices, from Wan Ton noodles, Curry Mee, Pan Mee, and Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun. The staff are very friendly and very inviting."

"Had a nice breakfast here before leaving Ipoh. Delicious pan mee with friendly staff and reasonable price! Don't forget to check out the yummy egg tarts too"

"This restaurant only opens for breakfast and lunch. It's a typical kopitiam and the stalls sell pan mee, wan ton mee, chee cheong fun, fried koay teow, chicken sheredded hor fun and toast/steam bread with half boiled eggs. The wan ton mee tasted nice and probably one of the good ones within Ipoh Garden areas. Coffee and tea tasted good as well. A bit thick for those who like such servings."

"Nice coffee here. Since I have my early morning black coffee at Sin Yin Loong during the weekdays....the coffee here is comparable although it might taste slightly different. I have no preference between the two. The pan mee is good esp when I liked lots of greens. There's also a wan ton mee stall which is quite good."
