Yi Poh 姨婆老鼠粉 | PJ Old Town – Chinese noodle restaurants in Selangor

Tucked away in a quieter corner of Petaling Jaya’s bustling Seksyen 1, this noodle spot serves up a variety of Chinese noodle dishes that lean towards unpretentious and comforting. The menu covers a good range—from dry pan mee with a mix of minced meat and anchovies to vegetarian options like a curry laksa broth packed with tofu and vegetables. Those looking for lighter bites can also find fried tofu and fish balls with a Thai twist, making it a casual place to explore simple, familiar flavors with a slight local touch.

On a typical visit, the atmosphere is straightforward and casual, with a mix of counter and table seating that encourages solo diners as well as small groups. It’s not wheelchair accessible, and parking can be a bit of a challenge during busy times, reflecting its neighborhood charm rather than a polished mall experience. The space has been renovated to include air conditioning, which some may find a bit brisk, but overall it keeps the vibe comfortable and clean.

The crowd here seems to include those who appreciate noodles that aren’t overly strong in seasoning—mild and subtle flavors that feel like a gentle nod to traditional home cooking rather than heavy-handed spice. It’s the kind of spot where you might come seeking a quiet breakfast, a quick lunch, or a casual dinner without fuss. Coffee and simple desserts round out the options, making it a reasonable stop if you want something easy-going but heartening in this part of town.
