Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong 老黄芽菜鸡

I had tried many Chicken rice restaurants and stalls not just in Ipoh (since 2006) and in others state of Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand as well. This restaurant is always the typical tourist WRONGLY MISTAKEN as the no. 1 best chicken rice restaurant in Ipoh or Malaysia where the real and original Ipoh people don’t walk in, dine or take away from here (what the shame) as my friends, colleagues and staff from Ipoh told me. The food is normal, nothing special with wow factor. The place looks dirty, messy and not comfortable to dine. The staff were very arrogant, rude and aggressive with lousy service. The owner had passed away in 8 September 2023 at age of 48 years old, this made the the current Chef more & more arrogant as the fake new boss or Executive Master Celebrity Chef and thought by himself as better than Gordon Ramsay. Strongly recommend to cross the road to eat at another restaurant with Tiger Beer’s signboard where they were brothers but was separated after big fought and sell chicken rice with different brand name. Wake up and don’t repeat the mistake from others simple and innocent foodie and eater. Be smart to taste. compare and judge it by yourself, no more as simple and innocent follower anymore! Please take note that there is a 6% tax here either dine in or take away, where there is no such thing from others chicken rice restaurant especially the one just across the road with Tiger Beer signboard

Visited on weekday afternoon. There was a long queue, so we decided to order takeaway. We ordered 1 portion of chicken, 2 rice, and 1 portion of tau ge. All items were nice. Chicken was tender and flavourful. Chilli adds a kick to it. Took a while as they messed up the order.

Expected to be very well-known amongst the locals. The rice is mediocre but the chicken is very good. The marinated chicken feet and bean sprouts are very good.Staffs are as you would expected as a local restaurants: fast and uncaring.Trying to find parking to go to this place is crazy.

came here because of the good reviews. this place is so popular, particularly for the bean sprouts and chicken. upon looking at google maps reviews, customers seem to enjoy the fishballs too. so that’s what we got - all 3 of them. the beansprouts is really basic, boiled beansprouts with white pepper on it to give the boring plain beansprouts some live. and sesame oil with soy sauce on the bottom. chicken was a let down, it was tough and flavourless, with the same sesame oil and soy sauce base. fishballs were very salty, definitely store bought from frozen. i’d say this is one of the worst meals we had. staffs were all on their phones and not welcoming at all as well. cash only! + 6% too

This being a popular tourist destination, there's always a queue for a table. As usual, the bean sprouts was superb, plump, juicy and crunchy. The fish balls and meatballs were quite good. However, the chicken was a bit of a let down; it was tough and a bit overcooked. The rice was fragrant, but it was rather wet and sticky. It's good to try if you've never been there, but otherwise it may not be worth the queue.
