Lau Wang Claypot Delights

We decided to give this place a try because it always seemed to have a long queue during dinner time. We came during lunch, and it was surprisingly quiet. We ordered quite a few dishes, including the tofu with long beans, sambal prawns, ladyfinger, frog soup, sesame chicken, and ngoh hiang with vegetables. Out of everything we ordered, only the sambal prawns and ngoh hiang with vegetables were decent. They were fairly average and enjoyable enough. Unfortunately, the rest of the dishes were disappointing. To start with, the sesame chicken had almost no sesame oil aroma or flavour at all. In fact, I found that the claypot sesame chicken at Song Fa Bak Kut Teh has a much stronger sesame flavour than this dish. The long beans in the tofu dish were another letdown. They didn't taste fresh and had a chewy texture, which made the dish less enjoyable. The frog soup was also underwhelming. The frog meat didn't feel particularly fresh and had the texture of previously frozen meat. It lacked the tenderness that I would expect from freshly prepared frog. The bill came to $81 for six dishes, which is actually quite affordable if the food is at least average. Unfortunately, I felt the food was below average, so I don't think it was worth either the money or the calories. Overall, despite the popularity during dinner, this wasn't a place that lived up to my expectations, and I probably wouldn't return.

Have a wide variety of Claypot dishes. Reasonable prices. Joined their membership to earn points which can be used to exchange for their merchandise or items from the menu.

They provide light soya sauce, dark soya sauce and chilli sauce. It would even be better if they can provide sambal chilli. Their chilli sauce looks like those from fast food restaurants.

Food is great but when I asked the old lady with short curly hair for small plate/bowl, she told me to go take them myself. After paying 5% service charge I do not expect self-service.

This place easily earns a five-star rating from me. We visited the JEM outlet and ordered their JEM-exclusive XO seafood soup, roasted pork with curry leaves (a seasonal special), gong bao chicken, and sambal kangkung. If you enjoy rich and flavourful dishes, I think you'll love this place. Everything we ordered paired exceptionally well with rice. In fact, the dishes were so flavourful that we ended up ordering extra rice because they simply opened up our appetites. Surprisingly, the sambal kangkung stole the show. We all agreed that it was the best dish of the meal. The gravy was incredibly appetising and made us keep reaching for another spoonful of rice. If you're visiting Lau Wang for the first time, this would be my must-order recommendation. The roasted pork with curry leaves came in second place for us. The curry leaves and gravy were fragrant and satisfying, though slightly on the oily side. The gong bao chicken was also enjoyable and packed with flavour. As for the XO seafood soup, it was probably the most underwhelming dish of the meal. Considering it was a specialty item, we expected a little more. The ingredients felt rather limited, and the overall taste was fairly standard compared to the other dishes we ordered. Overall, I think this is a great place for family meals and casual gatherings with friends. The food is flavourful, the prices are reasonable, and the setting is comfortable for sitting down and catching up over a meal. One thing to note is that the claypot portions may be slightly small for larger groups. I would estimate each claypot to be suitable for around three people. That said, it works out quite well if you're planning to save some space for a second round of food or dessert afterwards.

The chicken herb soup is really nice — you can taste the herbs, but it’s a little too salty for me. 😅 As for the sweet & sour fish, it’s so good ! 🤤 It’s not overly sweet or sour, and the flavour is just delicious\. Really enjoyed the food so much\! ❤️🍽️

taste bad, Idk why the chicken soup is so salty and the veggie tastes so sweet

I always like the food from Lau wang claypot but the service standard kills the mood on a weekend Area was not busy with 4 groups of empty seats but every staff was hostile Ordered at $56 but came to know there is lucky draw $60 and when I prompted the counter lady she kept quiet Food I love Service should be improve if not it is a place no one would come For me , service standards comes with passion To see this , I hope it would be improved for such nice good food to avoid us from visiting here

Brought my father here for lunch after our initial spot had a very long queue, and left largely satisfied, another value for money meal overall 👍🏻 Other than the sesame oil chicken which we had prior, we ordered new dishes across the board. 🦑 the sambal sotong was good, decent flavours yet not too spicy 🦐 seafood soup which was JEM exclusive had a good broth which we all enjoyed, definitely tasted the XO which was as advertised, a good soup dish to be had with generous ingredients 🥬 the french bean and tofu was my favourite dish, or specifically the tofu since it was very flavourful and well fried - it did lack the salted fish though, not sure if it was missed out 🐟 the sliced fish dish was decently generous too, with 6 slices of thickly cut fish amongst the good dry chilli sauce Overall no complaints and a very solid meal once again - definitely will return again.
