Lam Kee Wantan Noodles — Restaurant in Ampang Jaya Municipal Council

The ever-famous Lam Kee Wantan Mee — finally got to try it. Arrived at 11 AM, and the place was already packed. Not surprising considering there are probably no more than 8 tables squeezed into a cramped shop lot.

Ordered the big char siew wantan noodle to see what the fuss is about.

The char siew wantan noodle was served cold, which was a letdown. 😩 Taste-wise, it was just okay, not mind-blowing or memorable. Portion was reasonable. Unfortunately, I got the leaner cuts of char siew, which lacked the fat that would normally give it that melt-in-your-mouth texture. The wantan, however, was a pleasant surprise — soft and well-seasoned. The soup was also quite tasty. RM11.50

The shop is without AC, and with only three ceiling fans, it can get very hot and stuffy, especially during lunch hours. Parking is a challenge, depending on what time you arrive, and the cleanliness is questionable — floors and surfaces could use more attention.

That said, service is fast and efficient. The shop seems to be run by a Chinese couple, while the rest of the staff are Burmese. Constantly busy with Grab orders and takeaway, which speaks to its popularity, but overall, it didn’t quite live up to the...

Such a fabulous treat! One would struggle to find any fault in this amazing plate of Char Siew and Pork Ribs Wanton Noodles.

A perfect fat to meat ratio, coupled with great roasting techniques deliver a well caramelised tender char siew and ribs that have a hint of charcoal smokiness. The Al dente egg noodles is simply tossed with lard, light and dark soy sauce that complements the flavours of char siew. As much as most of the attention is drawn away by the char siew, it is apparent that the owner doesn’t cut corners on their well filled wanton and dumplings. To cut the greasiness, don’t forget to add the pickled green chilli. It pairs so well with this plate of goodness.

PS: I saw some negative reviews on their services. Personally I didn’t encounter that. In contrary, the lady boss was very pleasant. Informed us that there is a short waiting time for the char siew and pork ribs. Took our order ahead and delivered it when...

There wasn't a long queue and we decided to try out. Small stall and not much space to queue inside. Took about 10 mins to be seated. Bigger group will have to queue longer as the dining tables are meant for 2 to 4pax, and limited. Our food came within 10 mins but orders were wrong, even though we repeated 3 times. Wonder why use a foreign staff to take orders. Food was above average. Noodles were not as springy as I would like it to be; melt in the mouth char siu (slightly sweetish) because of the fat; BBQ pork ribs were very tender (same sweetish marination as char siu); wantan was good but broth was salty for me; stewed chicken feets with mushrooms were good and dumplings were delicious. Curry noodles were sold out at 10 am on a Sunday. The queue under the sun was longer when we...
