Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take on Lao Gu Ban 老古板 is that it offers a solid, if not outstanding, take on bak chor mee, particularly their dry minced meat noodle.

We see consistent praise for the springy, handmade-style noodles, which many reviewers highlight for their texture and chewiness.

The prawn paste and prawn balls also receive positive mentions for their flavour and firmness, often cited as a highlight.

While the soup is generally well-regarded for its flavour, some feedback suggests the minced pork can lack seasoning, and noodles occasionally arrive overcooked.

Service is described as polite, though some customers have experienced slow delivery.

The limited seating in the coffeeshop, with smokers' tables potentially too close, is also a point to consider.

We'd recommend this for a quick, satisfying noodle fix if you're in the Geylang area, especially if you appreciate a good prawn ball.

What customers say

Lao Gu Ban 老古板 is generally well-regarded for its bak chor mee, particularly the handmade-style, springy noodles and flavorful soup with generous vegetables.

While the prawn paste and abalone slices are frequently highlighted as delicious, some customers find the minced pork lacking seasoning or the noodles occasionally overcooked.

Service is noted as polite but can be slow, and seating at the Geylang location is limited.
