The Chinese cuisine offered at Tong Yuen is simply amazing both in terms of presentation , portion and taste! A very pleasant surprise given that Halal/No Pork chinese restaurants are sometimes inferior to the non Halal restaurants.
The restaurant dining area had an amazing view of the Putrajaya lake, mosque and Prime Minister's Office, with direct access to the Putrajaya cycling and jogging track through the hotel's LG floor. They also have private rooms available.
For appetizer, the cashew nuts with sesame coating was very nice.
For main course, we had the Fried Butter Prawns which was juicy, tender and perfectly deep fried crust. The flavour was well balanced and not too heavy unlike other restaurants.
The garlic stir fry green dragon chives with shimeji was average. Could taste better with more wok hei.
The fried eggplant was also great. It was also perfectly fried - crispy on the outside and soft inside without excess oil. The crispy toppings were delicious.
We also had the seafood Cantonese fried kuay teow (wat tan hor), and while the price might be expensive at rm70+, it came with a big udang galah, generous portion of abalone slices and also scallops + vegetables.
Finally, we ordered the Steamed Red Snapper fish with ginger paste. It was steamed masterfully and they used high quality ginger. Only downside is the fish was frozen and not live. It might be a better choice to go for other dishes as the price is in the higher side.
Tong Yuen Restaurant is without a doubt the best Chinese restaurant in Putrajaya, and contender for the top even in the entire Klang Valley area including non Halal grand restaurants like Tai Tong, Copper Mansion, Imperial Palace etc.
The service was also great. Waiters were friendly, polite and attentive.

Read moreI am writing to express my disappointment with the handling of a private lunch meeting reservation I made for my boss. While the reservation process initially seemed seamless, the experience on the day of the meeting was highly unsatisfactory. I made a reservation with Ms. Safea and received confirmation from both her and the restaurant staff the day before the meeting. I specifically requested a private room (doesnt matter the occupancy for how many pax), even though only 2 attendees were expected, and this was acknowledged without issue. They offered private room for 10 pax because only left this room. On the morning of the meeting, I called again to reconfirm the reservation, and everything was confirmed as planned.
Despite these efforts, when my boss arrived at your restaurant, he was informed that no reservation had been made. This not only embarrassed my boss but also disrupted the purpose of the meeting. When I attempted to resolve the matter Safea was unavailable due to training. Also i made call to hotel, The hotel staff took my details but did not follow up or provide any explanation. The restaurant staff also ignored my WhatsApp messages seeking clarification. Such a lapse in communication and service reflects poorly on your management. As a customer, I expect reliability and professionalism, especially when organizing important business meetings.
I kindly request an explanation of what went wrong and how this situation can be prevented in the future. I hope to see improved service standards. Very dissatisfied and not...
Read moreHi, the staff management of this restaurant should be reviewed and get improvement immediately! I've just got a very bad experience of their customer service, from the lady wearing coat named Azimah, believe should be the superior of the restaurant. When i walked in to the restaurant, nobody greets even though not many customers only about 5 tables of customers then. As a customer, i have to take the initiative to ask for help from them. Then only this lady called Azimah answered my request. After that, all the dishes were being served BUT without the rice served first. So, i walked to her and request the white rice should be served first, however, she showed an irritated face it seems that i making her confused and troubled, and asked me not to disturb her!!! The staffs and kitchen like having a war inside, very messy and unorganized despite only 4-5 tables in the restaurant! We are customers, we not only pay for the food but also the service they provide! But, this restaurant really gave me a very bad experience, i didn't feel welcomed and felt bad by the attitude...
