The menu showcases immense variety, yet a few dishes rise to legendary status based on heartfelt customer praise.

Very local restaurant with reasonable price. Portion is big, if you just 6 people just order 4-5 dishes small portion is enough. Food is delicious. Fish is fresh.

Tip top on food and service. We are pretty late 2pm+ (their afternoon off time) the owner is kind enough to still take our orders. The claypot fish is heaven. Fresh fish and the soy sauce, wine mix, ginger, lemon grass etc was super delicious. Just this 1 dish can eat the whole bowl of rice. Braised ribs with yam can serve with buns. Hope to visit again soon.

The food tasted authentic and delicious, and the price was very reasonable. The environment was clean and air conditioned. We had wine chicken, tofu with scallops, yam and pork meat, and fried vegetables. Would return here again if I have the chance.

Not the usual Foochow food in Sitiawan. This is more towards Cantonese style. The food was still good, nevertheless. However, some dishes are a little too salty. Such as the prawns and the sauce used for the fish. Aside from that, most of the dishes were pretty good.

Came here one hour before lunch hour to avoid crowds. There were only a few people there. Staff is able to reccomend us some popular dishes and able to give a clear explination too. Waited for not long and our dishes arrived. I highly reccomend the lemon chicken as it is crispy and had the sweet lemon taste at the same time. Also reccomend to try out their butter prawn as it's one of their popular dishes and it has the sweet,crispy and buttery taste at the same time. There were still quite a lot of dishes that I have not tried. Will probally come back as the food was absolutely delicious and the price is reasonable.

This restaurant was previously known as Michelin star restaurant in another location. It's really popular with the local scene and can get super super crowded! Parking is easily available unless u come in 2 late and the crowd has come in. Food is good but taste is more subtle. Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. Highly advise to make reservations and order in advance if possible. Price on the higher side but portions are large.

Aug 2023 @ 富临中华楼 Foo Lum Zhong Hua Restaurant PLT @ 131-136, Jalan Sejahtera 4, 32000 Sitiawan, Perak, Malaysia It was a Sunday and when reached the place @ 11.40am, there were lots of available parking spaces and no customers yet...... Its an enclosed air-conditioned restaurant with many many tables setting... The food was good, fresh and tasty, especially the fish and the claypot dishes. However, some of the dishes were too salty. I wonder if the local taste buds are accustomed to eating saltier dishes.... The good thing for me was that I didn't feel thirsty after eating the salty dishes. As I am sensitive to MSG, I usually get thirsty after eating food cooked with MSG and need to drink a lot of water - at least 2 to 3 glasses. Apparently, their tasty food was not cooked with MSG condiments or seasoning, which was very good. The crowd started to come in one group after another group for lunch and the restaurant become lively... however it also become noiser which was common in Chinese restaurant...
