It used to be in the heart of JB's old town, and I was craving their tangy fish balls and egg noodles! Drove to their new location, and it's bigger & brighter! The noodles are still amazing, just like before! The price has adjusted a bit, but for the quality, it is still value for money. Keep it up.

Just reached here. 1st time here. Will review shortly. Looking forward to trying the Wan Tan Noodles.. Supposedly one of the best in JB.. This is along the same road where the very dated Sentosa Plaza is. The stall is located in Kedai Kopi Xuu Yau.. A coffee shop with only one stall. Selling Wan Tan Mee or Noodles. Quite spacious with 30 tables well spaced. Full house on a holiday but managed to get a table. My verdict?? Ordered the white version with additional Wan Tan soup. Very good. Al dente noodles nicely mixed up.. One of the best in JB. Must try.

A real hidden gem in JB. 3 bowl sizes but S or M is good enough, depending on your appetite.. A meal for 2 with coffee is MYR11.70 each. Chilli is not very spicy and the noodles come in both white and dark sauce types. Their wantons are delicious, though charsiew is a bit small and thin. On the whole, still one of my go-to places for a quick and light meal.

I recently visited this place for the first time since they moved from the city center, and I’m happy to say the quality remains top-notch. The noodles are still as tasty and springy as ever, with a deliciously balanced texture. The char siew is well-roasted with a nice caramelization, and the crispy pork lard adds an extra layer of indulgence. The wantan is excellent—thin, silky smooth skin wrapping a generous portion of flavorful meat. I highly recommend trying the spicy black sauce wantan mee for an added kick! While the prices are slightly on the higher side (RM9 for small, RM10 for medium, RM11 for large) compared to more mainstream spots, the taste and quality justify it. Overall, it was a satisfying trip, even though it’s quite a distance from my place. Definitely worth a visit for wantan mee lovers!

Bumped into the new outlet when we were having dinner at the famous Ya Xiang Herbal Duck rice at Taman Sentosa. They were previously from Tan Hiok Nee heritage street with expected long queue. My dining partner ordered both Mee Kia and Mee Pok and I'm hooked on the Mee Kia! The noodles were perfectly coated with a rich, flavourful sauce. The pickled green chilli was also a highlight - super freshly made with the perfect sour crunchiness. Hands down, this is one of the best Wanton Mee in JB! RM9 Wanton mee RM1.20 for 1 fishball. We ordered 6 fishballs in a bowl. Nice comforting breakfast on a rainy morning
