Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Get ready to wait for the food when the restaurant is full. Maybe 30 minutes and even more. My advice is to book a table before you came here, otherwise you are to find a table in outdoor area. For the food, it has not bad, I can say they didn’t put much seasonings into food. And I take that as healthy step. Food portion is quite suitable according to their recommendation. Their service is just normal."
"Overall, our dining experience was delightful, with several standout dishes. The fish soup boasted fresh, flavorful fish served piping hot, while the bittergourd stir fry with egg, duck egg, and century egg offered a delightful blend of silky creaminess and fragrant richness. The fried chicken wings were perfectly crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside, satisfying the palate with each bite. However, the steam prawn with egg fell short of expectations; while the prawn was averagely fresh, it was unfortunately overcooked, and the bitterness from the cooking wine detracted from the dish's overall enjoyment. Despite this minor setback, the exceptional quality of the other dishes certainly exceeded our initial expectations, making for a memorable dining experience overall."
"So far this is the best sotong in Miri. Fresh and delicious. Early visits recommended. They stop taking order after 8 pm. Morning finishes around 11 am. Highly recommended."
"The chicken wing is good. They don't have sotong that day. So can't taste their signature. Morning and night time menu is different."
"Plenty of choices for you to choose. Their Food is amazingly delicious and plating nicely. You are not advised to come here if you’re in a rush."
"This is a sweet surprise. We were still stuffed the time we had dinner at 阿贤私房菜. But we really didn’t expect that the dishes were these fabulous. We ordered 3 treasure bean curds and salt pepper chicken and the taste were so fantastic. This place is really worth 5 stars in my opinion."
"Come here often for dinner, very local style Chinese open air restaurant, cleanliness is 5/10. Can be very crowded at times during dinner and breakfast time. Personally recommended dish: clay pot salted fish pork , five spice chicken wing, Hong Kong style steam fish. Price is very reasonable, worth a try"
"We had Sarawak Laksa for breakfast here. Taste was ok. We also just found out that thia place opens till night. They have great servings on the menu for dinner. Can try out sometimes. Referred to others' review on this place, seems quite legit."
