The toilet here is clean , good for hurling out the clearly refrozen-till-point-of-no-return wantan dumplings in their soup . The chicken rice tastes like the result of a jaded 50 year old marriage.

Everyone raves about Chung Wah but this place is equally as good. The flavours were fantastic but they limit you to only 5 rice balls if there's only 2 of you. Highly recommend!

Giri Dev Nair

Unique concept to Malacca, a must try for first timers. Rice balls are well seasoned and perfect consistency (not too sticky/dry), chicken is okay.

Adrian Chow

An alternative to the always busy Chung Wah Chicken Rice Balls . Conviniently situated within walking distance, my preference still lies witg Hoe Kee. Shorter que and more tender chicken .

The size of Chicken rice ball is like fish ball . Chicken meat is tender and taste ok. Place is crowded even and we have to wait for sometime to place the order

PYeong

The chicken was alright and I do feel the rice was tasty too. You just gotta order the curry fish , albeit it being RM23. This turned out to be really good and tasty ????????

Iron Neo

Staff is fast, prompt and systematic even though the Q seems to be very long... But manage to get in to enjoy the food after 30 mins. Thumbs up! My guess love it. Read more

Chicken and rice ball are good. Assam fish is not to my palate. Environment is more comfortable than the other popular shop.

Fried frozen durian is very goood. Rice ball is okay, otak2 is delicious, and satay is also okay. Not as bad as people review here in foursquare. For me the place is good and recomended.

Allen Chee

One of the best chicken rice ball . You could try another chong hua chicken rice ball but never try farmosa chicken rice ball

Jenny Cha

The chicken rice ball are simply awesome! Tender chicken and mouth watering assam fish - should not be missed!

Vincent

The chicken really IS very good, but is it so much better than any place else that it's worth waiting ages for? I have my doubts.

Rachel Lam

Quality is better than the other original one on Jonker St. But now they restrict you to 5 rice balls/pax. If you want more rice balls , gotta buy more chicken . Otherwise only loose rice ????

Anna Stevens

Love the roast pork here. Chicken rice is good and the kampung (steamed chicken was tasty)

Ling Ling

Fresh Tofu with Soy & Oyster Sauce

Ms Yap

The chicken is average, but the rice ball is flavourful, however I tasted better chicken rice . The price for 10 rice balls and chicken shown in pic is rm 18.

Giselle Hoo

Chicken rice balls was amaze balls! Can eat it on its own

Daria Robbins

I guess im lucky cos I don't have to queue up since it's 5pm. The rice balls are warm and the chicken is tenderly warm. Nothing like what review have said about this place except the dirty wet floor.

Ting Fung Foo

Not sure why there's so many negative comments about this restaurant . The rice ball is tasty and the chicken is okay. It's worth a try

Alex Ho

Yummy chicken rice ! The rice ball is really special!

Benjamin Antonio

Coconuts here are sweet (but imported fr Thailand). Veggies are ok.

Gwyneth L.

Joanne Siaw

Kc Yeoh

Char Siew is as hard as a rock! Try another place ????????????????. Don't understand how it's known as famous !

Nelson Zhao

Chick rice ball is not too bad at off peak hours. Coconut is good although it's from Thailand.

Ivy M

Fast & efficient service so you don't really have to queue that long before getting a table ????

Jai Othman

Take a walk, Its such a nice ancient Chinese decor in this cafe !

Stewart Tan

They would only limit you to 5 rice balls if you are a 2 pax table. However, the normal rice is as good as the rice balls . Must try!

Melinda Tan

cendol is a must try food in this shop! it's so yummy with the gula melaka ! it's not too sweet, just nice n yummy! big thumb up!!!

Julian Si

Hoe Kee is still the best by a mile!

Rielz Cheong

Best asam fish !!! The spiciness and asam is just perfect!! 

Cindy Ooi

best chicken rice ball in malacca.the black bean soup is awesome as well !

Bryan King

Famous chicken rice , but not really good. Just average. Price is higher than normal price outside. If you are Malaysian or Singaporean, you can easily find many others that taste much better.

Patricia Yap

Dont k ow why everyone line up else where. Here the chicken and normal chicken rice is much better. Their white coffee is best cox its not 3 in 1. Specially mix by their boss

Adeline Ong

COME HERE HOLY SHIT IT’S GOOD

Fred'L

Colin Charles

Food reasonable. Cabbage is good. Chicken rice ball good too. Don't believe hard sell on fish ! Oh lotus peanut soup good too

Kucing Senget

The best chicken rice ball on Jonker Walk. Come off peak hours to avoid the long queue.

Andrew O BC 翁

Popular spot & delicious chicken rice in tennis ball-shaped

Chris Lee

I have banned eating at chung wah shop due to the arrogance of the staff hence eating at this shop is still far better and tastier..

Tako sy

Chicken rice and asam fish ❤️

alwyn goh

Chicken is tender & tasty. Equally important: it comes out *fast*, even during peak hrs. I'd rank this place above joint next door.

Ling Ling

Fresh Steamed Tauge Soy

Ding Neng

Is it worth it to get stuck in hours of traffic jam and queue for an hour under the hot sun for a plate of sticky, slimy, cold rice balls ? NO. But yet i come here everytime when i visit jonker street

Peter Tang

Food, ie chicken , cabbage & asam fish is so so. Hainanese chicken rice is tasteless , you'll be in only for the shape of the rice . Service is reasonably good. Don't think I'll return though.

William Lee

Assam fish must try...

Shinel Lim Wen

Using plastic plates,cups to serve the chicken rice and chicken ..I prefer to eat in restaurant that care more about our earth.no next time
