Yuen Buffet Steamboat
Namely “Yuen” Buffet Steamboat, it’s a right place to go if u’re looking for cheap, tantalising, and varieties in buffet steamboat!
Mix Soup Steamboat
They served tomyam and normal vege soup as the steamboat base. You can asked for a mix (as depict in the picture) or only one. I don’t quite like the tomyam soup base probably it’s not the “thai style tomyam” which is spicy and sour. This is what i called the “chinese tomyam”! :>
They have a variety of vegetables, chicken meat, squids, fish balls, beef balls, whatever balls, u name it, n …. many many more …. They even have escargo. The most famous dish here is their HONEY CHICKEN WING! To get a bite of it, you have to be really alert, as the moment it’s served, sight of ppl rushing to it will be seen! :> It is a must that you have a taste of it when u visit this buffet steamboat restaurant. If you miss it, u’ll have to wait for the next round.
On top of that, they provide desserts as well, some local “kuih”, fruits and also some ice-cream! You’ll have a really complete meal here, No regrets for sure!
They open only for dinner time. I would prefer making reservation if i decide to go on weekends for late dinner. As it’s always very pack as early as 5.30pm. Their peak hours which is from 7pm-9pm, you most proably have to queue up outside tb4 getting a seat and mind you, it’s a long queue :>!
After the meal, you possibly can drop by Sunway Pyramid to have a movie! or i would rather suggest that you have a movie first b4 you have your dinner. As you’ll definitely have a bursty tummy!
Desserts
Honey Chicken Wing
All sorts of “balls”
Vege & Noodles
Squids, Flower Crab, Chicken … etc

October 31st, 2005 at 10:08 pm
erik, is it buffet style? whr u have lotsa choices?
November 5th, 2005 at 2:11 am
Hi Grace,
I am afraid it is not buffet, but more like a set menu for RM 12 per head.
Look out in Media focus. Think they got a free items or promotion going on!!
Well if you have any comments, can write to me via email.
Call it advertising if you want. I am a Food connosieur. I was looking in Googles too for other reviews of other Porridge Steamboat Restaurant available in M’sia. Was to lazy to type, so I just copy wat I type in the 1st place. Merely sharing my experiences of this fave steamboat with everyone out there….

the yuen steamboat boss just move to this new place u mention ni heard he bought the whole shoplot . the teriyaki chicken wing is the most popular dish there. its open at lunch also for your infor.its open even on cny n public holiday .their seafood -crab were quite lousy. ppl go there for the teriyaki chicken wing .now the shoplot were 2storey so i think u can get a place to seat unlike the old place .cheers
November 7th, 2005 at 5:01 pm
Hi donkey, the 2 storey shop lot nv really help in easing the crowd though it can accommodate more!! The other day when i went, still there’re so many ppl queueing up !! Just avoid peak hour :>
November 8th, 2005 at 12:02 pm
i found the food there ok n a lot of people goes there for the teriyaki chicken wing .the place was introduce by my ex gf .she will patronise it at least once every two month.but i do enjoy the ais cream more the seafood were lousy .not suitable for people on diet.
weekend better not go its very crowd.i never seen a eating place where the customer will mill around for seat outside .soon the boss will take over the shop next door if this goes on.u might want to go after 10 when the crowd is not so much
November 9th, 2005 at 8:07 pm
So have you guys tried OCean yet? Share your views with me to se whether I am good in my jugdement… I still the Ocean is better than Yuen.. especially their Porridge. Only thing I like in Yuen is their Pork chop
April 20th, 2006 at 12:40 am
the chicken wings are so nice… really really nice
we have to rebut to get that….
Oh my GOd, is really really nice lah ….the best ever…
tomyam sop also not bad….
foods also nice…
nice place…..
July 7th, 2006 at 11:10 pm
only drawback is the place is always fully patronised and if you are late, you have just got to wait like the others in front of the shop. yes, their honey chicken wings are one of their better signature dishes.
worth the wait though.
August 24th, 2006 at 1:47 pm
i just want to know is it yuan limited 2 hour per table on weekend….
i just hear my friend last time they eat at yuan n the boss tell them only got 2 hour for them to dining here, so is it the true???
August 26th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
as far as i remember, there’s no such rules ! i go thr quite often and i’ll be thr at least 3 or 4 hours ….
September 2nd, 2006 at 1:16 am
no time limit for eating there unless its close to closing time. for example if u go there at 10 p.m. u have about 2 1/2 hrs to eat b4 they close at 12.30. on public holiday sometimes they extend closing time. maybe ur firned went late near closing time
October 15th, 2006 at 11:29 pm
tis is juz one of those many steamboat restaurants around… i like steamboat… but boring of the normal chicken soup or tomyam…
my 2cents worth of comment:
try the soya bean soup for steamboat… nothing great but something different… in Sunway oso…
try the pork bone soup for steamboat… available in Pudu….
October 19th, 2006 at 11:59 pm
Or Bak Kut Teh for Steamboat , tried it once in Cheras areas, not bad
January 21st, 2007 at 12:23 am

you hv to wait for calling to enter Yuen anytime u r there, and the son of Yuen Buffet Steamboat once hs told to his friends that Yuen’s target is prole or poor people, like indian or malay as well as low leavel chinese, so no matter how long they will to wait for the cheap meal, no matter how they r treated shitly, they will still put greedy smile on face—coz Yuen is cheap for cheap 🙂 never go if u r not as cheap as u r not.
btw, the chicken is one of the strategy to stuffed ur stomuch,in order to proevent u eat tooooo much there! incretion? wo knows? all the people r getting and fat fat for too frequent to go to the Yeun
November 7th, 2009 at 12:55 am

man this restaurant sucks man i dunno what happen to their quality of the food, i visit last time it was good but now OMG the seafood is NOT fresh at all and the service there is terrible compare to last time i think the owner fire all those that whose sallary is high and hire all those that dont even know english,malay and chinese.the number of people also decreasing even in saturday i can still see a lot of empty places and i thought i was lucky to get a seat
PLS IF SUM1 FROM THIS RESTAURANT SAW THIS PLS DO NOT LOWER THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD AND PLS HIRE A BETTER STAFF
