Here are some reviews of Yee Fung Laksa in Kota Kinabalu: Review 1: A takeaway meal was received and while it was nice, it did not live up to the reviewer's expectations based on previous rave reviews. Despite this, it was still considered a nice meal due to the use of a biodegradable bowl instead of plastic or styrofoam. Review 2: A restaurant review for Laksa, highlighting the reviewer's favorite dish (Laksa) and their positive experience with the service. The reviewer mentions that the restaurant is always busy and suggests sharing tables to save time. Review 3: A patron enjoyed the best laksa in Kota Kinabalu (KK) and praised its organization despite the large crowd. However, they lamented the lack of air conditioning, which made the dining area uncomfortably hot due to the kitchen's open layout. Review 4: This post recommends a restaurant in Sabah that serves delicious Sarawak Laksa, with options for non-pork eaters. The restaurant has a well-organized system and serves food quickly. Customers pay right away when their food is served. The restaurant is clean. Review 5: A group of people from different countries dined together for the first time at this restaurant and gave it a unanimous thumbs up. Review 6: * Food is delicious. * Service is quick and good. * Customer enjoyed their meal. Review 7: Laksasauce with a mix of Indian and Chinese flavors, served with tender beef tendons and chewy noodles in a dish called ngau chap. Review 8: The writer orders the Yee Fung Laksa and finds it to be good, with a generous serving size. They mention that the queue can be long but the system is efficient and makes the wait manageable. Overall, they give the food a rating of 7/10. Review 9: This review is positive and recommends the eatery. The reviewer mentions

Reviews & Ratings
It’s been a while since my last visit, and I must say — this place has reignited my faith once again. From the moment we stepped in, everything just felt right: service was impressively swift, the service crews were attentive, and the food? Still worth waking up early for.
I went for their Premium Laksa King, and it came crowned with three jumbo-sized prawns nestled in a rich broth. One spoon of soup and I could tell it was the first batch of soup for the day — savory, comforting, with just a touch of creaminess that didn’t overpower.
I remembered how different it tasted during my last visit in the late afternoon — that version was noticeably creamier and heavier. This morning’s version felt lighter, fresher, and closer to what I’d originally fallen in love with. Also, it came exactly pictured in the menu.
Mr Hubby decided to try their mixed beef and paired it with a pickled calamansi drink, which he really enjoyed — tangy, slightly salty, and refreshing. Unfortunately, the mixed beef wasn’t quite to his liking. The flavours didn’t hit the mark, he was happier with the Tuaran noodles.
At one point, he thoughtfully got me a small dish of sambal to spice things up, but even that sparked a mini food critique — he felt it tasted commercial, like the kind you could pick up from a supermarket shelf. Familiar, but lacking that extra house-made touch.
By 0730am, the place started packed with locals and tourists, all looking for a good start to the day. If you want to beat the crowd, come by 0700am — that peaceful pre-rush window is the real sweet spot. Still, for me, the laksa was the star, and I walked away satisfied.
Kthxbye.
Long queue & full house restaurant during peak hour. Tried on their signature yee fung laksa king, contains 3 prawns. Overall taste good. Yee fund ngao chap taste good as well. The soup broth is delicious. Although full house, food still served within 10 minutes, fast service.
Open aired, indoor restaurant that serve no pork.
Packed at peak hours and have to wait at least 15-30mins. However, turnover rate is fast. Staffs prepare and serve foods and drinks fast. Despite many customers, they are quite organised in placing them to tables.
Had their famous Yee Fung laksa. Personally, I would prefer thicker taste of laksa soup. Otherwise, prawns are fresh. Added on their sambal that’s readily available on each table. Ngiu chap was just quite ok I would prefer yii xiang Ngiu Chap.
Second visit here and tried their ngiu chap.
Their blackpepper ngiu chap broth is thick, meat abit dry, not really like their ngiu chap but this is just my preference 😆
My Sarawak friends quite like their laksa while comparing to their Sarawak Laksa.
Food served quite fast even full house.
This place is famous for its laksa but I tried their Ngiu Chap. The strong herbal soup base was nice. Taste very local. Best to try their laksa. Both are good, but laksa tastes better
