Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Ba Wang Claypot has seen a significant drop in customer satisfaction following a renovation.

While early reviews praised the sesame chicken, even comparing it favorably to established brands, recent feedback highlights serious concerns about food quality and hygiene.

Multiple customers reported issues with grilled oysters being small and unappetizing, with staff allegedly dismissing complaints.

A more severe concern involves a report of maggots found in the herbal chicken soup.

This indicates a potential decline in food safety standards.

While the $3 sesame chicken promotion was initially attractive, the current state of the food and service, particularly the handling of customer complaints, suggests a brand struggling with basic operational quality.

We'd advise caution.

What customers say

Public sentiment for Ba Wang Claypot is sharply divided, with initial positive reviews praising the sesame chicken and promotional pricing, but more recent feedback highlighting significant quality control issues.

Customers have reported finding maggots in soup, receiving small and unappetizing grilled oysters, and experiencing a decline in food freshness and taste post-renovation.

Staff responses to complaints have been unhelpful, leading to customer dissatisfaction and reconsideration of future visits.

Fast service! This shop doesn't serve pork but it's not halal. Their sweet chili is yummy! Their skewers, they use 🌶️ power and the level of spice u can inform the spicy level.
