On a busy Saturday afternoon, we got a table right away but still waited over 1 hour for our noodles. I am not sure what is the big deal with the noodles. Its not a complicated dish. Its noodles, soup and pork. A pretty good lunch, but definitely not worth the wait.

Just find the Philippines Ihaw Ihaw and cross the street , its one block up from there. Still full of people , still difficult to find seat , still the same... More

Our party of two waited for 40 minutes (9.30am-10.10am) for our food, which we felt was unremarkable. There are many places in Kuching with better and cheaper kolo mee (A bowl of noodles and soup cost just over RM10) and the pork 'organ-meat' soup seemed pretty average compared to what you get in KL. Take a photo and go elsewhere.

U need to wait to get a place to sit, then wait to be asked order drinks, wait to be asked order for food, n Waite thenoodles to be served. Even with less than 10 people before you, waiting total is easily 40 mins. Food is better than average.

It's really good food that was worth waiting for. The coffee shop is usually always full. So just share table with someone. The noodles and soup and ingredients are nice. It was a little difficult when we first sat down, not sure how to place order. But the only person taking order was very good. She went around, asking 3... More

Let me just say ... patience is a prerequisite. We had Kolo Mee for brunch at Sin Min Joo, near the corner of Carpenter St and Bishopgate St. This shop is famous for its Kolo Mee and sells only that. Always crowded. You just sit tight at your table once you find one (shared basis or otherwise), and two different... More

Excellent Kolok Mee, although I'm waiting for 1 hour + for the mee, anyhow it's worth it. You may order 2 bowl or 3 bowl for yourself if you are a big eater to avoid no need to wait for so long. The noodles + the sauce, really tasty. The noodles was extremely elastic when u bite it. Great!!!

Likes: the food, the food, and the food!! Dislikes: the heat... But overall, it's one of the best experience having your breakfast/brunch/lunch there and its tastes is unforgettable!!
