Restoran Yi Poh @ P.J Old Town
We were at P.J Old Town area after sending my air fryer to repair and decided to have our early lunch there. Initially we wanted to try out Veng Soon Claypot Chicken Rice but the food was not ready yet so we walked further and stumbled upon Restoran Yi Poh. I knew the restaurant is from Seremban and famous for its Loh Shu Fun, since we never try before so we settled our lunch here.
The setting of the restaurant is simple and fully air-conditioned, marble-top tables and wooden stools placed neatly within the space.
Iced Tri-Layer Tea (RM3.80)
The menu isn’t really extensive with variety of noodles (without any rice dishes) and small selection of snacks.
Fried Wonton (RM2.50)
Freshly fried but quite oily.
Yi Poh Loh C Fun (Big – RM6.50)
The noodles were longer and the shape was different with the Loh Shu Fun that we’re accustomed to but the texture was similar though, silky smooth. The bowl of dry noodles came with condiments of Char Siew and minced pork which was just average. The dark sauce concoction was rather disappointing, bland and not as aromatic as I would have hoped. The accompanied soup was very peppery, way too peppery to my liking.
Yi Poh Hakka Mee (Small – RM5.50)
The Hakka Mee was fare better. The noodles were nicely cooked with springy texture and well seasoned, came with same condiments of Char Siew and minced pork too.
Verdict: Although the Loh Shu Fun is their signature dish but to my dismay it didn’t meet my standard for a good bowl of noodles.

Restaurant sounds like ipoh but is from seremban and then.. located at PJ.. ok..
KY, sound like but the Chinese name is Yi Por (means your grandma’s sister :P), I thought you told me before you can read Chinese?
Too bad the signature dish did not meet your expectations. At least the other noodles made up for it.
PH, yawor, quite a let down~
Restaurant also sounds like 2nd/grand aunt or something like that in Chinese? What does the Chinese words say? Since the menu is limited, they have to nail the few dishes that they offer.
Kris, it’s Yi Por (grandma’s sister) ^__^
Now in Seremban, they opened another new outlet somewhere near the Siew Pao that area. I’ve tried…not so nice le… *sad.
I wonder the HQ one still taste good or not.
Melissa, this is one of the Seremban famous food and I’m quite disappointed with it, maybe it’s not suit my taste bud~
ooo, they have a branch in sri petaling – i guess i can go try the hakka mee, since it’s only 1km from my home 😀
Sean, have you tried the original Seremban version? Maybe you can compare them if you did.
