Tried the famous fish noodles. You can get it in different soup bases - original, curry, or prawn soup. Hearty warm bowl of noodles. Portions not so large that you can't sample other tasty offerings in Sandakan. Saw others waiting for a table - we must have lucked out with no wait. We were advised to come early before they sell out or close shop.

Feb 2025 Add photos Mar 2022 Arrive early to avoid the crowds and long waits for a table and service. The fish balls here are fresh, not like the commercial kind with a floury texture. The fish noodles are a must-try and can be paired with clear, prawn, or curry soup bases. I opted for the prawn soup and was thoroughly impressed – the flavors complemented the fish noodles perfectly. Though all three soup bases are good, the boss mentioned that curry is their best. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit for the fresh fish dishes and flavorful soups.

Probably one of the most interesting noodle shops in Sandakan. They serve a mean portion of Wan Tan Noodles with fish paste, which is out-of-this-world! Well known for their "Fish Noodles", meaning oodles made out of fish paste. My first time here, and the experience was somewhat surreal. The style they cook reminds me of 30 years ago, when wan tan noodles tasted so good and original. I found it again here. Next time I visit Sandakan, I'm coming back for another round. Apparently, this place gets super crowded on weekends, where you need to line up. Therefore, best to come on weekdays or come early. Price slightly on high side but No regrets at all.

The owner character stood out. Chill guy taking orders. The place is crowded. Close to Tawau airport. There are many types of fish paste based including the noodles itself.

Very good fish ball noodles. Their homemade lou shi fun is good. Texture is similar to those mi tai mu you get in Taiwan. The fishball is fresh, not like those commercial kind with more flour texture. The fried prawn paste is flavourful and tasty. All the other ingredients were also good. The laksa is good and thick but not overly santan. Highly recommended place for breakfast is you are in Sandakan.

Crowded in the morning. The owner himself is one of a kind lol He was funny and chatty. He made the decision for us in such a humorous way that I have not experience before lol some would find it irritating but I wanted a recommendation anyway So I tried: 1. Laksa noodle - the soup itself doesn't taste like the ones in KL nor the ones in Sarawak. It is light ish and easy to drink so if you like a stronger overwhelming curry taste, this might be a 50/50 for you 2. Handmade Dry Lou Shu Fun - the Lou Shu Fun isn't springy but it has some form of texture which was unfamiliar to me. Alittle like the Malay asam laksa noodle texture. The whole dish was alright. Nothing crazy. It tasted slightly better when you add the curry pork ribs sauce onto it 3. Fish noodle in prawn soup - the soup tasted exactly like a typical prawn noodle. The fish noodle was not much but the look and texture definitely very handmade in a good way. Generally I enjoyed this long fish paste looking thing which has good smooth texture. Also, I recommend their barley and soya bean who wasn't sweet and felt homely.
