Our take: HOW YU RESTAURANT is known for its fish soup noodles, particularly the XO Fish Bee Hoon.
While some reviews praise its taste and affordability, noting it's 'pocket friendly,' others find the XO flavour lacking and the food 'mediocre.' We note a recurring theme regarding service, with multiple patrons describing staff as 'rude' or providing 'bad service,' though one younger staff member is consistently highlighted as an exception.
The fried fish head and curry fish head are also recommended by some.
There's a suggestion that the food quality 'used to be way better,' indicating a potential decline over time.
We also see a comment about the food being 'a bit on the heavy of MSG side.' We'd advise visiting early to avoid the lunch crowd, as it can get busy.
Overall, it seems to be a place with inconsistent service and varying food quality perceptions.
Best for a quick, inexpensive meal if you're in the area and willing to overlook potential service issues.

What customers say
HOW YU RESTAURANT 好友XO鱼头米粉汤 receives mixed reviews, with some customers praising the tasty fried fish head and curry fish head, and the overall value for money.
However, a significant number of patrons report issues with rude and unhelpful service from the auntie servers, contrasting with positive mentions of a younger lady (possibly the boss).
While some find the XO fish bee hoon mediocre and lacking XO taste, others still consider the food good, albeit noting a decline in quality over time and a potential heavy use of MSG.

Mediocre food. The xo fish bee hoon so-so only, no xo taste. My family has tasted nicer ones. The aunties servers there all super bad service & rude, like whole world owes them. Only one younger lady…
Repeat visit and the price is pocket friendly with the standard of food quality. Abit on the heavy of MSG side. Worth trying out the fish meat noodle!
Tasty Must order their fried fish head or curry fish head
Firstly, the food is still good, but it used to be way better. Would have given a 4 star if not for the extremely rude service.
Nice fish soup noodle. A lot of food available to choose other than the noodle. Not a bad choice. But have to come early to avoid the lunch crowd
