"Good honest food deserves my time to post a good review here. It's our first time trying out the pan mee here, and already it's one of my favourite pan mee place. The soup broth is above average, not too salty yet flavourful. The noodle is still springy & Q, not mushy even though soaked in the soup for a long time. There was a family of Koreans that dined there, they complimented the shop owner for their delivous pan mee as well. Will be coming back to this place during our next visit to KK."

"Quiet, cosy place run by a small family. Food is tasty. We chuckled when we saw the Korean words at the door 손칼국수... because it's true! Pan mee = kalgugsu"

"The broth is very good. Authentic and feels home made. I ordered the hand made one with soup. Other then the smooth n silky pan mee for my breakfast there is nothing else worth noticing. Service wasnt friendly. Self service for utensils and sauces(not much choice) Rm9.50 per bowl of original. I like that the shop starts operation early int he morning. Bonus for my gastronomic walkabout KK town. Off to the wet market now."

"Handmade pan mee is not always easy to come by, and this early morning spot does an excellent job of it, with the mixed fish ban mian being a must-try for lovers of fish balls and 鱼滑 like myself. It’s quite a hot and stuffy space to enjoy hot soup noodles, and the drinks are hit and miss but I would definitely come back for my food order!"

"Wisma Sabah stands tall as a historic landmark in KK, while the shop might not boast the same storied history, its culinary prowess is undeniable. We indulged in both the classic pan mee soup and the tantalizing dry chili pan mee, each dish a testament to the shop's culinary mastery. The classic pan mee soup invoked waves of nostalgia with every spoonful, while the dry chili pan mee ignited our taste buds with its bold flavors. However, the Korean-style black pepper pork rice failed to leave a lasting impression, offering a taste that was merely ordinary amidst the extraordinary flavors of its companions."
