Restoran Le Kwang — Restaurant in Subang Jaya

Below is an updated 2024 review. For my older 2021 review, it's after the break line

The konlo wantan mee (RM9 for big) looks unassuming at first but upon eating it, it's actually quite good. Friend had the Sarawak Laksa (RM11) but she isn't a fan of it. She's a regular of Kelana Jaya's Rustic if you're wondering. I tried the broth and it's OK. "Teh ais" (RM2.80) is good, served quickly and in a decent-sized cup. Service is on the better side actually as the waiters and waitresses will take away your plates immediately once you have eaten finish. Atmosphere is crowded and stuffy. Expect to share tables

Take note that this review is only for the chicken rice stall

Good: The chilli sauce is definitely a stand-out as it's tangy. The rice itself is nostalgic as it brings back memories of how most chicken rice sellers in rural areas does it. The seller also packages separately the soy sauce so you can adjust how salty you want your meal to be. Price starts from RM6 which is decent enough for the portion you're getting

Bad: Maybe the cleanliness of the restaurant itself can be improved but since it's MCO 3.0 now, you won't need to linger in the restaurant long to wait for your takeaway

Ugly: Nothing that I can think of at the moment

Will definitely come back if I'm in need of a...

Your run-of-the-mill coffee shop located in USJ2 - where coffee shops are a dime a dozen here as almost every corner lot is either a mamak or coffee shop in the USJ area. Therefore, people would only flock to a particular coffee shop if there was a particular stall selling a particular dish that's popular.

Parking is normally quite easy to get get as there are no offices nearby. But during peak hours, it gets quite bad, and you might have to park a little away and walk.

As mentioned earlier - there's got to be a highlight for visiting this place. For Le Kwang, it's probably the Penang Curry Mee. But that's not the only stall here - there's pan mee, thai food, wan tan mee, economy rice and others as well.

Seating can be a little cramped, as the stalls take up quite a bit of space inside the shop.

So, I tried the curry mee - my verdict? It's good, but not the best. The curry was a little on the thin side, and the chilli paste could have done with a little more kick. But don't get me wrong - it's a good, hearty bowl of Penang Curry Mee, and I would not say no to coming here for it again.

Also tried the Thai Koay Chap which was actually pretty good.

All in all, if I am around the area, I'd...

Tried a Few Items – Not Planning a Return Anytime Soon

Dropped by and tried several dishes over a couple of visits. Here’s the breakdown:

Koay Teow Soup – 4/10 (RM9) Very plain, likely caters more to those who are feeling unwell and need something light. Lacked the depth or umami you’d expect in a comforting bowl.

Kopi Ice – 3/10 (RM3) Strong bitter profile. Might suit those who enjoy bold, dark coffee—but not my preference.

Penang Curry Mee – 5/10 (Price forgotten) Visually similar to Penang-style curry mee, and the price was quite affordable. But the taste didn’t carry the signature spicy, fragrant punch I’m used to as someone from Penang. It was just average.

Robert Char Koay Teow – 3/10 (Price forgotten) A letdown. Portion felt expensive for what it was. No siham (cockles) included unless you top up an additional RM3, if I recall correctly. Flavor-wise, it was below average and didn’t live up to the hype or the price.

Overall Impression: Tried a variety, but nothing stood out enough to make me want to revisit.
