Sai Kee Restaurant at LaLaport BBCC (LG1-01b) carries forward a remarkable culinary legacy dating back to 1950 when it began as a small, unassuming stall in the back lanes of Petaling Street, establishing itself as one of the pioneer Chinese food establishments in KL Chinatown. Now operating within Southeast Asia's largest Mitsui Fudosan facility outside Japan, this authentic restaurant brings traditional Cantonese "Dai Chao" (big stir-fry) techniques and Old School flavors to modern shopping mall dining, preserving decades of culinary heritage while adapting to contemporary customer preferences.
The menu showcases traditional Chinese specialties including signature Asam Fish Rice featuring Patin fish stir-fried in tangy asam sauce that perfectly balances sour and spicy flavors, golden Butter Chicken with crispy exteriors and tender interiors doused in rich butter sauce, and expertly prepared Fried Noodles that achieve the coveted "wok hei" smoky aroma and taste. Each dish reflects generations of cooking expertise refined through seven decades of operation, with reasonably priced offerings around RM13.90 including complimentary Jasmine tea, making authentic Chinese cuisine accessible to diverse customer bases.
Available for both dine-in service within LaLaport BBCC's Lower Ground dining area and delivery through foodpanda, Sai Kee Restaurant accepts cash, e-wallet, and card payments to accommodate modern dining preferences. The restaurant's evolution from a humble Chinatown stall to a respected establishment within Malaysia's premier lifestyle mall demonstrates the enduring appeal of authentic Cantonese home-style cooking, offering customers a genuine taste of KL's culinary history combined with contemporary convenience and accessibility.

The food was decent at best. However, the floor was covered in a sticky, wet liquid that made my shoes slide around. They also got one of my orders wrong, but at least they managed to correct it. Overall, a disappointing experience.

Food was decent taste and price was reasonable. The set meal was $19.90 each and comes with rice and a drink plus a side dish. The side dishes was nothing to cry for but overall it was a nice meal. Ordering was easy thru the QR code. The portion for set meal was smaller but ala carte was bigger portion at a slightly higher price. Food taste was ok but we found the steamed pork with salted fish was a bit salty but the meat was quite tender.

Decent taste and price reasonable - probably the reason why we're seeing quite a crowd in the establishment. Service - we were served by a cute robot and a lady who's courteous and polite. We appreciate that she even helped keep track of our order.

Casual chinese food average at best but the hor fun surprisingly had wok hei. Dumplings were not so good. No expectations here though. Just grab a bite and go.

I was walking around looking for a place to eat on the lower ground floor, and this place had more customers than all the shops near it so I figured it must be decently good. After ordering my food, I noticed it had not so great overall review in Google maps so I was a little worried. However, when my food came out, it was OK. The portion size is about right given the price and that is it in the mall so you might have to pay a little bit more. I had the value set that includes a free herbal tea drink. I had stirfry shrimp with eggplant, and I added an egg, the total price came out to about 18RM. It tastes good enough and the price is OK for me to want to come back to try other dishes on the menu. The staff were sufficiently efficient and friendly.

Can't describe how bad the foods are, it is not eatable at all, ordered prawn mee taste sour and very salty without any prawn taste. Was tried to had one bite, and puked...remained whole bowl without having it. How ridiculous the foods here.

My boyfriend and i actually love coming here very much. What got me begin Searching and reading the reviews was we noticed that theres a very grumpy cashier consistently in our frequent visits. I got curious how his attitude would have affected the review and true enough i found years and years of complaints. Other staffs were doing a good job in hospitality even if it didnt start off perfect. Food was okay but match the price we pay for some. We came for the variety and the vast options from the menu. Its a shame that one man destroyed the collective hardwork of the business owner, staffs and cook. We don't expect much but it was still 5 star worthy had it not been the cashier. The days we came without his presence is 100% pleasant from ordering to leaving 😂🤣. But the days where he is around, experience starts off perfect and fizzles out by the time we pay for our meal.

Ordered cold drink gave me hot drink, without telling me anything. Then when i asked the waiter just said ran out of ice. This place also have a heavy wired smell that isn't that welcoming.

The porridge tastes plain and not very flavourful. You add condiments and flavour it to your preference. The pork porridge comes with blood and liver. Not usual these days.

Overall we enjoyed our lunch here. We started off just ordering drinks and maybe dessert, but decided to order some food. Dumplings for me were great. They did burnt the buns but this was quickly dealt with and we had to wait for another batch.

I am impressed with the food taste here. Staffs are friendly. Dine in for lunch on Sunday. Will come back again but try avoid during weekdays.

The taste, service, price all great. Generous with the portion of food too. You can't find this kind of restaurant at this affordable price in the center of KL. Highly recommended.

First time here, previously tried Sunway Velocity outlet. Big portion for mee. Seems like for 2 person portion. Taste not bad for Fried rice. But waiting time for fried rice almost 30mins. No local staff available, hard to communicate

We are here 3 times when we stayed at @Lucienta Residence. Located on the ground floor of the sprawling food court. The food was fast and fresh. All the staple Hong Kong style cafe type Chinese dishes. The combos were a splendid deal. Price was affordable considering it was in Lalaport mall. Food was flavourful and authentic tasting.
