Restoran Meng Kee Char Siew 明記叉燒王 — Restaurant in Shah Alam

3 of us went to Restoran Meng Kee on 18 Mar 2025 at noon time for lunch. It was crowded and yet we managed to get a 1 or 2 seated square table as shown in the picture while waiting for a bigger table to sit comfortably. We tried to get a slightly bigger table as shown in the picture that next to the 1 or 2 seated square table as the customers were about to leave. Once we moved to the bigger table, the woman boss(restoran owner) remanded us to go back to the 1 or2 seated square table. She said that the table is for 6 people. I told her, the 1 or 2 seated square table really can't fix into 3 of us as the back and front was full of people and we can't even sit at the table. The woman boss turned a long face to me and walked off. I called her back to make an order. She took my order reluctantly. The table was full of dirty dishes and yet she didn't even ask the helper to clear the table. I had no choice and requested a foreign helper to clean it. When the food was served, we were having our food then came a lady who I believed got the order from the woman boss to ask us to move to another joined 2 square tables from the other side as the customers had finished their meals. I was really shocked and mad about this unfriendly and unfair treatment by them. I also noticed that there was a similar size of table just next to us were sitting by 2 people but they were not asked to move away. I pointed this to the woman boss but she just kept quiet and ignored me. She even asked me to shut up when I complained to her. The point here is the woman boss is rude and does not bother the comfort of the customers because losing a customer does not affect her business. In short , I will not patronize this restaurant anymore and it was a disgusting lunch I have ever had. That's my reasons to write this review to let people aware of the rudeness of the woman boss in this restaurant.

15/7/25 Haven't been back in a long while. No longer so impressed. Had forgotten that their Wantan Mee is swimming in gravy, everything was ok.

2024 Omg . we love this place. Surprisingly soo cheap. Love the char Siu which is 90% lean and tasty....on the sweet side. Do order the noodles in L size, sometimes S comes in a really tiny portion, not sure why 😕

Update : 9/4/24 Decided to test out the Rm5 chicken rice. This must be the cheapest I've ever had!! The chicken wings served were delicious...not too dry, but definitely well cooked, tastes deep fried with a thin crisp skin, has an oil soy based gravy to add to your plate of rice, no cucumber so if you need veg...time to addon a plate of tauge, it's just shockingly good value.

The large crowd starts to thin after 1pm so the harassed crew get some relax time and actually are rather nice. BUT if you come at peak time, you'll understand why tempers can flare- orders on top of orders, no tables, even though you get served pretty fast. Unfortunately, the wonderful char Siu has sold out by 1pm, so just order the blood sausage, chicken, wantan mee and tauge ( I normally really dislike that unclean, too earthy taste of blood sausage but was shocked that even eaten cold, it tastes like Bak kwa! )

May update: still the favourite wantan mee with char Siu! But kena parking Saman 😭

28/10/24 prices up by 50 sen.? Still the fav "bouncy with bite" noodle, though a little too sweet today and no...

This is a long established eatery famed for their char siew as their shop name suggests. The parking here can be limited and the traffic can be hectic during lunch hours so do come prepared. The place itself is a no nonsense eatery with no decor whatsoever and they offer both indoor and outdoor seatings. If you ask me, I think the shop could use some refurbishment after so many years to make it neater looking and providing more comfortable dine in. Jumping into the food I got their signature char siew with roasted chicken and a plate of wan tan noodles with their sausage. This time around, I was given the leaner cut of char siew that turned out to be abit chewy sadly. Nonetheless, the heavily glazed char siew came with a nice smoky aroma that blends perfectly with the sweet and savory marination. The char siew also came with a beautiful char and caramelisation. On the other hand, the roasted chicken and sausage were average in taste in my opinion. They didn't impress me but they did add a nice variety to your choices of meat. The wantan noodles was decent enough. The noodles retained its springiness and the sauce was not overpowering. In contrast, the soup given was very flavorful and it can be a little salty for people with lighter palate. Overall there is no doubt that the char siew here is one of the better tasting ones in the valley but the other offerings are...
