Low Yong Moh Restaurant — Restaurant in Malacca

Was there 6am to avoid the morning Sunday crowd. An old school coffeeshop serving dim sum. Lots of positive reviews online so decided to try it out. Overall, it was overrated. Dim sum dishes were ordinary, far from nice despite the variety. Must-have dishes for me like pork ribs and chicken feet were tasteless and oily. Prawn dumplings and Siew Mai looked as though they were cooked overnight with pale colouring. The famous big bao also a disappointment, apart from very oily, the pork fillings were 'meshy and hence, no texture'. The custard salted buns were very average with a funny after- taste too. But the porridge and glutinous rice were nice and tasty. The boss-look-alike man was unfriendly and unfortunately, he was the first who ushered us in. There was an incident where he 'yelled' at a group of 4 to take a square table instead of a round one, resulted in the group leaving in anger. In all, not worth a second visit, definitely not worth sacrificing previous bedtime during an holiday. But if you wanna some experience in local morning dim sum, can try for once. Dim sum is cheap and wide varieties to choose from. We travelled as a couple and ordered 11 dishes which only cost us Rm40. This is my honest feedback which I hope can help people in their decision makings. Too many good and fantastic false reviews, really dun understand why are there so many good reviews? For info, we walked about 20mins from our hotel at 5.30am to reach there. Only recommend can try if you are in Jonker area, else no regret if...

Low Yong Moh Restaurant is one of Melaka’s oldest dim sum shops, now managed by its third generation. Located right in the UNESCO Heritage area, it’s surrounded by landmarks that reflect Melaka’s multicultural heritage — a mosque just opposite, a Hindu temple on the left, and the famous Cheng Hoon Teng Temple on the right. Because of its location, the prices are slightly above average, but the experience is truly unique.

I especially enjoyed their Lotus Leaf Rice, which had a wonderful fragrance from the lotus leaf and a rich, savory flavor. It’s soft, aromatic, and perfectly cooked — one of the must-try items here.

This time, I also tried the Braised Pork Bun (Kau Yuk Bao). The portion was generous — a big piece of tender pork belly wrapped in a soft steamed bun. The pork had distinct layers of lean and fat at each end, creating a satisfying texture.

The staff were friendly and attentive, maintaining the warmth of a family-run restaurant.

If you love history and want to experience the charm of Melaka’s three religions coexisting on one street, Low Yong Moh is the perfect place to enjoy authentic dim sum with a sense...

Visited again today. Totally different from 3 years ago with very negative feeling. The staffs are rude and seems like chase u to leave immediately after u eat. Ordered pao twice didn't come, ordered the 3rd time let the uncle "suan"... there is half of the space put with plates n accessories which could have use for guests. End up very little tables available for guests. Drinks also limited. All instant coffee or tea bag only n some herbal tea. Also quite expensive, 3 adults 2 kids around approximately RM100.

It is an old shop with elderly workers. The dim sum looks simple but it is yummy especially the big pork bun, glutinous rice, prawn dumpling and pork dumpling. The pork bun's meat is generous and most importantly the bun doesn't stick on teeth! Glutinous rice is very soft and delicious. Both prawn and pork dumplings are also very nice. The standard is on par with those new nicely decorated air conditioned restaurants and cost 1/3. Will definitely return...
