If you are searching for a good reliable Malaysian hawker food, this is the place.
I've been trying new Malaysian restaurants, but always come back here due to its reliable standard and authentic taste.
Wah Kee has been around since 1988, Mum actually remembered this place from when we used to live in Clayton many years ago. The food is good with large portions for the price and the staff are friendly. Have to say that even though it is a long drive for me now, I would totally come back here, especially for the roast duck which was tender (falling off the bone), juicy without being greasy, and with perfect crispy skin.
The vegetarian selection here is amazing!!!!!! The place also has a wholesome atmosphere, with the service being excellent as well. Highly recommend the veg mee goreng! The tofu is so good and there's potato in it too!
I love the Malaysian food here especially the egg gravy noodles with seafood, they also do a very nice fish head noodle soup but this is always a special . The owner here is very lovely and welcoming, we have been coming here for years
The teochew style braised duck is so amazing, meat melted in my mouth. The wa tan hor is spot on, wok hei evident, egg gravy light yet punchy. The ais Kacang, ok anyone who reads this review must go and try their ais kacang. The shaved ice is as soft as a new born baby’s cheeks , or a falling ❄️ snowflake. Very good. Don’t expect this place to be your hipster, yuppie or contemporary instagramming joint. This is a classic restaurant, for serious eating. Toilets are incredibly clean! Thumbs up!
Back in business after a year and still good! The only thing is that if the restaurant is a little busy, one may have to wait a while (but not excessively) for the food. Friendly and nice service. Will return.
Went to Wah Kee tonight for a birthday dinner. There were 14 of us and no one left unhappy. The food was delicious and the staff were great. Haven’t been here for many years, but will definitely be back sooner next time.
Went to Wah Kee recently after it has been reopened after its kitchen fire. Ordered some dishes & hokkien fried noodles. Love the noodles. Salted egg ribs were also very tasty and the sizzling tofu and gulai pineapple with prawns was very flavourful . The ice kacang is good but wish they had proper cendol in it instead of green jelly. We ordered the banana fritters for the kids and for $10 found it very steep for 1 banana and ice cream. Overall, we love the food here but I think some of the portions should commensurate with the price.
Went to Wah Kee this past weekend for a quick home food fix. I ordered the cha hor fun (wat tan ho) and was served within 15 mins of ordering.
Pros:
- The egg broth tasted authentic, in fact I found it to be the right amount of starchiness, which I liked because some places go overboard with the flour and end up making the dish too heavy.
- Lots of veggies
- Friendly service
Cons:
- The noodles lacked the wok hei (smokiness?) of traditional Malaysian stir fry dishes.
- They substituted the fish cakes you would normally find in this dish with actual pieces of fish, and only two very small pieces at that, which was a bit strange and didn't really add anything to the flavour of the dish.
- Shop ambience is a little dingy-looking from the outside.
Overall an okay experience for a reasonable price. Can't say it's my favourite place for Malaysian food, but I'd come back again to give the other dishes a try.

Service is great. Food is great. Nice and spatious. No complaints
I have visited this delicious restaurant for many years and made a last visit a few weeks ago as it has now closed. It was an institution to many Malaysian and Singaporean students as it reminded them of the authentic flavours of home. This place will be sorely.missed and unfortunately a victim to rent hikes.
Wah Kee is back and better than ever.
Interior is refreshed after the fire. All the staff and chefs are back. Lunch specials we ordered were the same high quality as always.
Yay, they're back. Been coming here for over 2 decades. In a road full of Asian food, this is my fave. Simple and great taste.
OG used to be:
Fri night, Movierama video hire, Wah Kee for dinner
Update: Boo. They've gone again. Shutdown. Mama San said they may try to open again in Springvale, where the rent is easier
Great place love the food and special service from Judith. We have been eating from here with our family for 15 years. Chicken ribs and the duck are my favourite and must try. ;-)
