The best chicken bean sprout in ipoh. This restaurant is famous among local people. Note: get a table and wait patiently. The waiter/waitress will come to take the order.

I have yet to taste something better than this. Coming to Ipoh without having their chicken rice with bean sprout and flat noodle is just not complete. First time coming on a weekend and that was a mistake. I was in the queue for 45...minutes but in the end it was worth the wait. Service was fast and the food was fabulous. If there is a queue, it must be good. No doubt about it.More

Plus point: The broth is the tastiest that I ever tried. Koitiau is thin and silky. Serving is fast Negative point: Hygiene level (the aunty who handles food gives changes for money!!). not systematic (there is no menu and the waiter is a foreigner don't...speak good local language.) The chicken is not kampung chicken and the texture is hard. Price is a bit steep.More

I saw this place advertised on a blog as the best place for chicken in Ipoh, and the place locals go. The food is absolutely fantastic and you dont even need to be that adventurous as a traveler. Highly recommended - i am looking forward...to returning soon. Not to be missed!!!More

Interesting. Family run..the uncle with the leg problem serves as cashier, someones does the orders and another serves the food, drinks by another person. Chicken is done beautifully, not overdone, still smooth in texture. Beansprouts blanched served with soya sauce and lots of pepper powder....Thick broth for the flat noodles, rich in flavour. Open in the evening only. I think they are closed on Tues. The waiting can be long. Go earlyMore

Inspite of the price tag, nostalgia brings me back to the place. My parents frequented this joint and could be recognized as regular patrons by the proprietors. Chicken innards are a plus for most who love the intestines and company. Some claim it's the best.

Nice rich stock. Chicken was ordinary but had flavour. We went for supper; so there was not a long waiting time!

Nice rich stock. Chicken was ordinary . The tau gei sauce at Tien Chun was better. Overpriced ,++ RM30 for 2 for chicken ( no wings or feet) Hor fun soup ( small portion) small plate of tau gei and 2 very diluted lime drinks....No wonder they are able to open for business for dinner only on half the week.)More

I was there for dinner few days ago and I would not recommend this place for its most unhygienic kitchen practices. They soaked the cooked chicken in the washing sink near the serving area to achieve the smooth skin texture, but when we finished our...dinner, we noticed there was an uncooked chicken placed in the same sink.. go figure.... In any case, hygiene levels in the whole Ipoh needs to be stepped up.... perhaps other establishments are operating in the same way unseen in their back kitchens ..... anyway eat at your own risk....More

Food was meh with very little portion. Chicken was just average with lots of bones. Worst thing is that I only ordered two single portion horfun but was served with a whole chicken and bean sprout I didn't order, told the shop owner but she...still insisted me to pay for the food which I didn't order. Very bad experience, onn kee tasted much better with same range of price.More

We were there 20 minutes earlier to queue. By 6pm, there was a queue of 20 persons. There was wait time to order food and drinks separately. The food came at different time, chicken feet, bean sprouts 5 min later, noodles 5 min later and...lastly chicken 5min later. The chicken is tender but too salty. The noodles is smooth. The beansprouts is crunch and tasty. The meals cost RM59.More

Now this shop is full with tourists. You need to queue up for at least half and hour or even longer hour for you to go in for meal. However, this long waiting queue didn’t make us feel worth to queue. When I saw the...way of lady boss cooked the chicken and I feel it is poor cooked. After I tasted the chicken, I really feel food didn’t taste good. The chicken they use are not “kampung chicken” and the texture of chicken is too “soft”. No doubt their price is cheaper than Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong, but I really feel the quality of food is really 👎. After I left Restorable Cowan Street, we straightaway proceed to “Lou Wong” for 2nd round to fulfill our appetite to have good quality chicken. We won’t go back to Restoran Cowan Street Ayam Tauge again.More

This restaurant serves boiled chicken with hor fun soup. It is highly recommended by the locals. Perhaps our expectations were unrealistic, hence our puzzlement as to why this place is so popular. We arrived at 6.15pm and had to join a short queue. We ordered...a small portion of the chicken and the famed braised/stewed chicken feet. The chicken feet looked pale and most unappetising. The taste was acceptable but not as tasty as some say. The chicken was boneless and tender. There was the strong fragrance of sesame oil. However, we realised that this was not the firm and flavourful kampung chicken. The small plate of chicken cost RM16 while the small serving of chicken feet was RM8, a bit pricey for the portions. The bowl of hor fun in chicken broth was a consolation because it was everything Ipoh hor fun should be - smooth and tummy warming.More

This is the shop where the local hunger for bean sprout chicken. Compare with Lao Wong, noodle is more origin and soup is more tasty. Bean sprout is more or less the same, but the white pepper is some how different compare with Lao Wong...and Onn Kee. Last but not least, the chicken. They will put a lot of oil, especially sesame oil (if I''m not mistaken) that's why I like it. 1 negative comment is the floor. Always oily. So, be careful when you're walking around.More

Depending how much food/dishes you order. Reckon a meal for one consisting of kuey teow soup, taugeh and chix should not be less than RM20.
