Hobart LimAugust 18, 2014Still the best Penang CKT. Strong wok hei, flavorful, and best of all, the correct ratio of lapcheong (Chinese sausage) to cut through the oil and saltiness. Taste tested against Tiger and Lrg Selamat
- Stewart TanApril 29, 2017By far one of the best char kway teow in Penang using pork lard and charcoal fire. Come before 3pm if you don't want to wait an hour for a plate or for a table. Uncle cooks by the road side!
John ReyesNovember 28, 2012Be prepared to wait about 30mins or so for your order. It's well worth it when you try it tho. You can wait at the kafe and order a minuman while you wait & they'll serve your order of Char Koay Teow!
Jia Liang OoiSeptember 2, 2016Best Non-Premium CHAR KOAY TEOW in Penang. They don't put fancy ingredients, but just a simple plate of heavenly Char Koay Teow. Do expect long waiting time up to 1 hour. Theirs worth the wait!
Chris LeeJuly 14, 2018They have moved to a shoplot 200m away from the original push cart place. Rm7.50 for this big plate with egg. Rather small to me and ordering can be very chaotic as the son is a very forgetful person.
- Chris LeeNovember 21, 2015I cant deny this uncle really fry good CKT. Secret ingredient is the pork lard and of caz the charcoal fire. Bear in mind that the CKT indeed very oily and slightly wet.
Zxara TanApril 24, 2016Super nice charcoal char kuay teow by the roadside. The char kuay teow has a nice fragrance of lard seasonings, I waited for around 25mins for this kuay teow and it's worth waiting for! :)
Ivy MDecember 28, 2016Yummy charcoal fried kway teow and the uncle uses pork lard oil to fry 😋 Better to take away cos the plates and chopsticks for dine in are not thoroughly washed.
Hands down, seriously and honestly the best CKT in Penang Island! Beats the other competitors like the ones in Lorong Selamat by a mile!
Minnie ChewMay 27, 2015Really good and the thumb up for this delicious char key teow. Went there on a raining weekday, so waited in the opposite shop.
Daphne GoonJuly 24, 2017Best char kuey teow ever! Flavourful with si hum and lap cheong..yummy!❤️ be prepare to wait for an hour though
Alyssa NgAugust 19, 2014Worth the 45 mins to 1 hour wait. The old uncle will be fanning and frying each plate while his son will be taking and distributing orders, eat in or take out. Charcoal powered ckt!
Chrysandra OngSeptember 17, 2014Come for few time but cnt wait, this time I came 2:30pm, finally I got it first time and it's damn nice, the best I ate before!worth to wait
Sereen TengDecember 19, 2015Best CKT in penang. Many customers are waiting even before it opens for business at 3pm
Vincent WongNovember 18, 2015Very cheap and tasty char kuey teow. Top 3 in Penang...#1 char kuey teow goes to Khoon Hiang ah Leng char kuey teow! ;)
William WilstrothDecember 10, 2012Best Char Koay Teow in town! It's cheap and it's two thumbs up! Plus you can have it by the roadside. This is the place where local Penang goes to!
Cherrie PeiNovember 3, 2017The Char Koay Teow is awesome! But waiting time is around 1 hour =\ worth waiting anyway👍
Mary LeeDecember 2, 2018Worth the wait. Being a friend to stand in line and get seated while you wait and have an icy watermelon juice
John MarslandAugust 15, 2016Best ckt in Penang. Order from the old dude cooking and sit inside nearby. Worth the wait!
Herman LeeOctober 20, 2017I think priorities are given to those who wait and sit at the café from across instead of those who queue in front of the stall.
Eric YongFebruary 17, 2017Is a must try CKT... but get ready to wait for 1-1.5hours for a plate of CKT... if you running out of time just try next time... Nice CKT...- Josephine NeohApril 25, 2012That is not enough for u if u just order the normal potion bcz it was jz too yummylicious!! The price is reasonable n the uncle is friendly.. No regrets!!

SG FoodTravelApril 20, 2017Go early else queue for one hour. Order a coffee nearby and eat this charcoal CKT. Get a large plate.
Elysia OngDecember 28, 2017The waiting time is crazy; we've waited for more than an hour. The char kway teow has lots of ingredients and is pretty flavourful.
- Julie ChanOctober 12, 2013Best char kuey teow I have ever had, business extremely good. A lot of people waiting in the opposite coffee shop
- Wong LongApril 4, 2014This is one of the best Char Koay Teow in Penang with lot of customer . Check out my review here. http://www.bestpenangfood.com/2013/11/05/siam-road-char-koay-teow-review/
Christopher RoulstonJanuary 31, 2019Very nice char Teow. Nice to watch the chef make everything so methodically. Cheap too, 7RM
Alan Guan CheongJune 8, 2016Very Good taste CKT, i love it, very strong "wok yin meh" but have to wait at lease 1 hour plus, super Long Q 😕
Marcus LeeOctober 6, 2018At its new location, you only need one person to line up to order and your party can sit first. Would have been helpful to know 30 minutes ago
Best char kuey teow ever! Taste way better n much cheaper than al the char kuey teow(s) in Penang. Must try!
Croco AlistaSeptember 15, 2018Waited for 2hrs but it’s worth ! It’s so delicious ! Definitely best CKT in Penang !
Bumblenee O.November 24, 2012The Best in Penang, IMHO. A big plate cost RM5 now. Business Hour: 3pm onwards. Closed on Monday. Read more
SammieNovember 9, 2015Very flavorful char kwey teow but a tad bit too oily. Uncle cooks them at his own pace so be prepared to wait for a bit.
Joachim OoiJanuary 24, 2015Comparing with Lrg Selamat CKT, this is more oily, more spicy, cheaper, and lacking of a special aroma taste. Number 2 CKT in Penang for me. -Penang Kia Food Critique-
Ameline Lai 🎸April 3, 2013Bestttttttt Char Koay Teow ever!!!! Always get more clam hehe. If really hungry will order another plate!
David ChuaOctober 8, 2013Char kuey teow has a moist texture towards it, but still one of the best. Personally I'd give it an 8/10.
Hezaline YipAugust 2, 2016Waited about 45 mins for this plate of CKT. Was good but in my opinion, not worth the wait. Head on over to Ah Leng CKT for good & fast CKT.
Jun HengNovember 22, 2014The best charcoal char koay teow in Penang! Been eating it since I was young.
Daphne SeowMarch 28, 2012One of the best CKT. Fried over charcoal fire. Super oily but I guess that's what makes it so tasty!
shaggyAugust 25, 2012Yummy delicious. Uncle has been frying Char Koay Teow for the last 50 years! sign off shaggy
Edwin YenJune 17, 2016IMHO this is the best CKT of all. The average 40minutes waiting should proof the point.
kay limMay 20, 2014Very nice and delicious. But priority for those olds customer... So wait for 1-1.30hours...
Ivan PigJanuary 4, 2017The people here are crazy, would wait one hour for this. But it is just too damn tasty
Steven SeeSeptember 14, 2018Taste is good.. Order big and small size but turn out all the same portion. So advise to order small size as there is no difference.
