Worth a try. Good service, good food.

I come here once a week, so you can say I'm pretty comfortable with this place and its offerings.

I usually have the medium kway teow soup (the small just isn't quite enough). The beef slices are really tender and the soup is tasty. Sometimes I get them to add beef balls, but really, nothing beats the meat slices. I prefer soup over the dry type, cos the gluey stuff can be jia-lat after a while (so I have to squeeze a lot of lime in). The chilli that comes with it is a wonderful accompaniment and really complements the noodles.

This shop isn't around for close to a century for nothing.

Another thing I LURVE about this place is the service. It's always crowded but the staff does such a good and quick job clearing up as soon as people finish and leave that it's never a problem to find a table. I come here on my own often, and they're always happy to help me "chope" a seat too, so I can go and line up for my food. Sometimes they even help me get more soup if I want, or order drinks (lime or barley) if I can't be bothered to get in line again. This, my friends, is the customer service that is lacking in so many atas establishments!

I'll probably keep coming back here for a filling and satisfying lunch.
