If you want the best river fish you must come here. I let the photo do the talking. Every dish is good. I first time had a wild catch of 巴丁 fish so high. The last portion is just a thick slice at the collar, belly area and it is full of fish oil. 1kg a slice, how big is the fish.

Been here several times. The food and service is good. Typically seafood eg steam fish, prawns, frog legs. veges etc. The prices will depend on what u order, which I think it's ok. They specialized in freshwater fish like Wang Bu Liau (Empurau), patin buah, soon hock etc. The boss is super friendly. Its just a simple Chinese restaurant but good service.

Having been a regular diner before the MCO, stepping into the restaurant for the first time after the lockdown in 2024 felt like a return to a familiar ritual. The flavors were remarkably consistent, almost transporting me back to pre-MCO times. However, my taste buds picked up a nuanced change – the tofu, typically firm, had a softer texture this time around.

Six of us cleaned up every dish even the fish. There was not a bone left on the fish plate! Highlight for us was the fried tofu and the fried fish. Tofu was super soft on the inside and the batter was light and crispy. Fish was amazing. Good value too as total bill came up to RM 210.
