Food were tasty, affordable price with generous portion. Ginger Duck Stew was wonderful - meat was tender and taste on point. Will definitely returning for more.

The last time I ate here was many years ago. Good that they are opened again. My family still enjoyed the dishes we ordered. My favorite are 姜茸金凤鱼,胡须鸡,沙律虾球. One of the best dinners I had in Ipoh this time

Been here twice now. The others day, and also 7 years ago!! The food was tasty now and then. Very polite service and helpful. The food was delicious especially the sweet and sour fish, the prawn and the tofu 😍😍😍 When we come back to malaysia again definitely going to come back, such a delicious taste.

Still the only place to go for live Ikan Haruan in Ipoh. Their oil dipped Ikan Haruan was especially good. The meat of the fish was very springy and QQ due to extreme freshness. However, this type of fish had many fine bones especially at the abdominal area. Avoid this dish if you are dining with very old folks and young children.

Addicted to their oil dipped Ikan Haruan (油浸生鱼). Tonight, eating dinner alone and I ordered this dish again. For this fish, the asking price was RM60 per Kg.

Still ordered my favourite dish, the oil dipped ikan haruan. Fish today was only 600g, just the right size for solo diner like me. As expected, the food tasted very good, except that this type of fish had too many fine bones. One needs to have full concentration while eating.

It was two months since I last savoured Ikan Haruan. This evening, decided to go back to this restaurant again to satisfy my sudden craving for this fish. The fish they gave me this time weighted about 800g. The meat was very tasty, firm and springy as the fish was still swimming up to the very last minute. As expected, the taste was excellent. As far as I know, Wah Chai Seafood is still the only restaurant selling live ikan haruan in Ipoh after so many years.

It's the first time to go and have dinner with friends after 3 years MCO. Food was good and tasty. Prices has gone up and reasonable.

The restaurant has been there since I was still working here and went there with my colleagues.

Now I am back with my family

Ordered Haruan fish with 3 ways of cooking whole fish (1.6kg)
Fish thick soup
Dried Chili (fish slices)
Salted Vegi soup
Some others like
Buttered mantis prawn
Tofu
Bitter bean with minced pork

Overall experience: not bad and portion is big (even we ordered small size, good!)

Been here few times.
Food quality and services are always good.
Price are very reasonable.
Just a suggest to owner to add some new item/menu every now again.

Came back to this place for Chinese dishes after many years. Not as crowded as before but certain dishes are still tasty like the claypot mutton, snakehead fish slices, snakehead salted vegetable soup. Their famous soft shell crab is not good though. Service is fast and good.
