Best for
early risers seeking breakfast noodles and pastries before 8am.

Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-09-29).

What do recent reviews say?

Thong Kee pulls a loyal crowd early for noodles with fine-tuned seasoning and their signature Onsen egg, though recent reviews split sharply. New upgrades and expanded menu draw praise, but the last month has surfaced missed orders, smaller portions, and multiple mentions of cleanliness concerns that shadow the strong food reputation.

Praised for
  • well-balanced noodles
  • standout half-boiled egg
  • fresh-baked pastries
  • long morning queues (popular demand)
Watch-outs
  • portion sizes shrinking
  • recent service oversights (orders mixed up, items forgotten)

Worth knowing

  • Onsen egg execution is a repeating praise point
  • Payment: cash or QR code only, no cards
  • Long morning queues common from opening
  • Food poisoning complaints on record, public health closure mentioned in one review

Regular visitors and first-time guests alike return for the tiramisu, a layered dessert with balanced alcohol notes and rich espresso depth. The owner curates every detail, from antique lamps (many DIY and for sale) to the calm vintage interior, making the space feel like a personal gallery where the service matches the thoughtfulness of the setting. Staff engage warmly with diners, and those with knowledge gaps about coffee or tea find the owner genuinely informative. Food comes made-to-order and unhurried, which suits the cafe's unhurried vibe but means peak times test patience. The space draws solo visitors, small groups, and those seeking a photo-worthy lunch or quiet afternoon away from the rush.
