Restoran Woh Gei — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

##Two hidden gems at Restoran Woh Gei : Klang Ban Mee and Pork Soup Stall—setting the bar for taste and quality!##

Revisiting Restoran Woh Gei in Bandar Sri Damansara after some time was an intriguing culinary journey. The food court offers a wide variety of choices, ensuring there's something for everyone. However, it is noticeable that many Chinese food stalls rely on foreign labor for cooking. While the dishes often look authentic, the taste occasionally misses the mark in delivering the original flavors. For instance, the fried kueh teow can sometimes be either too bland or overly salty, unless the Chinese chef (perhaps Robert?) is at the helm. Similarly, the Hor Hee soup base leans heavily on pepper, diverging from the delicate flavor found in Ipoh's original rendition. That said, the food presentation remains visually appealing.

The cham drink, a harmonious mix of coffee and tea, is decent but has room for improvement with higher-quality coffee and tea powder. On the brighter side, the restaurant boasts a relaxing environment with efficient service from the workers. However, parking can be an issue, as street parking is often occupied. Those willing to take a short risk with roadside parking may find it manageable.

What truly shines here are two standout stalls: the Klang ban mee stall and the Pork Soup stall. The Klang ban mee impresses with its consistently delicious food quality and flavorful broth, while the Pork Soup stall delivers fresh ingredients and a well-prepared soup base that elevates the dining experience. These two gems are a testament to the potential of this eatery to attract and retain more customers.

This corner coffee shop is a newly minted extension of the existing one. This new one is clean, nice deco brightly lighted, cooling and great service by hawkers, waiters and cleaners. The choice of food is great. Some of the hawker food for the morning/afternoon round is different from the evening/night. The choices of food range from wantan mee, Australian fare, fish ball noodle, pan mee, asam laksa, duck rice, chicken rice/Ipoh sar hor fun, char kway teow, lobak, claypot noodles, prawn mee, ikan bakar, nasi lemak, fruit rojak and mamak rojak, wor tip(dumpling), siew pau/curry puffs, Indian claypot rice, fried noodles and siew chau(small fry). Most of these hawker food are good but there are some truly worthy mention like the Chicken Rice that also sells Ipoh Sar Hor Fun. The chicken (only hainanese version) is soft and tender, Ipoh fat juicy taugeh and meat balls served in tasty soup. Other great ones are Asam Laksa (yum!), Robert's char kway teow. I will definitely be back to try all the rest. The fish ball noodles look good and so is the Indian claypot rice. However the prawn noodles lose out to the one at old WOH shop. That is still one of the best around this area. Really spoil for choice. The drinks are good too though more pricey than neighbouring shops. However, the parking could be a challenge. Do not park by the road side as clamping and summon is efficiently dished out as well. So far, this is the best coffee shop at Bdr Sri Damansara. Truly worth checking out for lunch,...

Woh Gei has long been a household name for economy rice, and returning after two decades feels like stepping into a time capsule. I first came here with my late father 20 years ago, and remarkably, the taste remains just as I remember—hearty, comforting, and honest. The signature economy rice stall is still the heart of the operation, offering a dazzling spread of meats and vegetables. From its signature crispy fried chicken to tender soy-braised chicken and stir-fried greens, each dish is consistently flavorful, making it hard to pick just a few for your plate.

Over the years, Woh Gei has expanded, now occupying the neighboring coffee shop to accommodate its loyal following. Despite the growth, the quality and soul of the food haven’t wavered. What’s more, the coffee here deserves its own praise—thick, aromatic, and satisfying, just the way local kopi should be.

Beyond economy rice, the variety of food stalls is impressive. You’ll find a solid western food corner, aromatic wan tan mee, rich pork noodles, fragrant nasi lemak, and freshly rolled popiah, all delivering strong contenders in their own right. This diversity makes Woh Gei more than just a meal stop—it’s a full-blown food haven.

Whether you're a regular or a returning customer like me, Woh Gei captures the essence of what makes Malaysian coffee shop culture special: good food, affordable prices, and a sense of community that stands the test of time. Truly a gem that...
