[2025 Johor Bahru Restaurant] Travel Guide for Restoran Hua Mui JB (Updated May)

This place gives you the old Hong Kong cha chan ting kind of vibes, which was why I wanted to go there in the first place. Located near JB City Square Mall about 10 minutes walk away. Already a long queue even at 10am in the morning. Able to pre-order with a menu slip to pass the staff once table alloted. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was good as the food came fast. Generally, diners were considerate to dine fast and leave. You have to be even earlier to avoid disappointment of local delicacies such as the nasi lemak and mee siam getting sold out. If not, their signature chicken chop is good too! #johor #huamui #jbtripping #chickenchop #kopiguyou #kambingsoup #croissant #meesiam #nasilemak #polobun #hongkongstylerestaurant #chachanting

We had a sunday brunch over here. The queue was not too bad and we were seated in 10 minutes. We went upstairs and the family table was comfortable for 8 of us. The order taken was well noted except we ordered our coffee too early so by the time we finished our meals, the coffee was stoned cold. Suggest the wait person asked when the coffee wanted to be served. Food came pretty fast and we enjoyed most dishes except the Soft Shell Crab Spaghetti was served warm. With the salted egg yolk, it tasted rather "sandy". Overall it was a pleasant dining experience. #johorbahrutrip#brunch

#favouriteitinerary This restaurant has been around for more than 70 years, and is famous for its Hainanese Chicken Chop, which I have ordered and the taste is very good and authentic. Coupled with a cup of coffee it makes the meal really complete. Moreover, this restaurant has been patronized by tbe Sultan of Johor, which gives this olace much more fame although it has already gained much popularity previously. This is one of the best restaurant and I will definitely come back again.
