Soong Kee Beef Ball Noodles

Soong Kee, which has been around for a couple of decades, is famed for its beef ball noodles and I grew up eating the dry noodles… still as good as I can remember and undoubtedly best in KL!
The springy thin Hakka wantan-​mee style noodles topped with tasty trademark finely minced meat crowned with the family’s secret concoction of rich savory, aromatic mix of herbs and spices and garnished with boiled choi-​sum makes this a very intoxicating delicious meal.
Tip: This is one place you must visit but do not expect a super clean stall or a 5 star restaurant.

Surrounded by business buildings, Soong Kee serves the best beef noodle and pork mince noodle in the center of the busy KL city. Their price is also relatively low. You can definitely have a satifying lunch/​dinner with just below 10 ringgit per. I don’t eat beef, but all of my friends and colleagues who had it before loved it instantly and now visiting the restaurant regularly. Their chilli sauce is great too! They also serve porridge at night time. It’s not very spacious though, so it’s a perfect place for a quick lunch.

Located in the hear of KL, it’s hard to miss this kopitiam. As you probably guess from the signage, it’s the beef ball noodles that make it happen here. It’s packed every day especially at lunch hour but thankfully the space is air-​conditioned so you can eat comfortably. Ordering is a breeze as well because all you gotta do is choose a bowl size depending how hungry you are. It comes with springy Hakka noodles topped with minced meat and choy sum. One thing about beef noodles is the sauce and of course, Soong Kee makes their own and it’s a secret but who cares? It’s above par! Not only that, the beef balls that accompany it has the elasticity of well beaten meat, very satisfying on the palate. Or if you’re craving for chicken, do try the Lao You Ji located right in front of Soong Kee. Customer turnover rate is high here so I suggest taking those long catch up sessions elsewhere, coffee after lunch perhaps?=)

Soong Kee in my opinion has the best beef ball noodles. I frequent the one at Avenue k and its just as authentic and as good as the original restaurant that opened ages ago. I like how the quality has been maintained, the beef balls are still beefy and yummy and has a firm texture but is not hard. The noodles are springy and has that perfect consistency.
I definitely will go back to Soong Kee anytime i crave for beef ball noodles because no where else can make it the same.

Awesome beef ball noodles right in the heart of KL.
Another one of the oldest restaurants in KL which serves one of the best beef ball noodles in KL. This business started off as a roadside vendor with at least 50 years of history and moved into a shop lot.
What’s awesome about this place is cause you can choose from Meehoon to Wanton Mee noodles for your beef ball noodles let it be dry or soup! The chilli sauce is awesome as well!
Be sure to drop by at night as well as they have porridge during the night. They serve steamed chicken along with the porridge which the chicken is very tender and juicy!

My dad has been bringing me here since I was a kid and everytime I visit it now and then, it brings back the old memories. Having said that, Soong Kee has been operating for a very long time. I’ve had many other beef ball noodles and there was never one that can beat the original taste this place has.
The beef here is full of flavor and taste. Be it the minced beef, beef ball, or beef strips, they are all delicious. I always add on some extra minced beef because of how good it taste with the noodles. Prices here have increased, but the quality has never been compromised.

I’ve been visiting this place since I was a kid, when dad used to take us here for dinner and has always been a go to place for my relatives whenever they come over for visits from the States. I have to admit, my recent visits have left me a little disappointed. The beef noodle portions were smaller and the prices were higher. Goddammit inflation. They were also stingier with their minced pork. On the brightside the beef ball soup is still in my opinion one of the best around. The beef strips are unbelievably tender, that even after years of loyal patronage, me and family still rave about how it just melts whenever we’re eating it.
