Our take: Lao San Prawn Noodles in Yishun presents a mixed bag, with recent reviews suggesting potential improvements.

We see a recurring theme of generous portions, particularly with noodles, and a rich, umami-packed prawn soup that seems to be the consistent highlight.

The sambal chilli also receives praise for its flavour.

However, the quality and portion of prawns are a point of contention; they are often described as small, few, and pricey for add-ons, with some customers feeling short-changed.

The pork ribs, while tender for some, are criticised by others for being bland due to their use in the soup base.

We'd recommend trying the Pork Ribs Prawn Mee Pok (Dry) for the lauded soup and chilli, but manage expectations regarding the prawns.

It's a reliable option if you're in the area and craving a flavourful prawn broth, but perhaps not a destination meal given the inconsistent protein quality.

What customers say

Lao San Prawn Noodles receives mixed reviews, with some customers praising the rich, umami-packed prawn soup and the flavorful sambal chili.

However, common complaints include the small, 'pathetic' portion sizes of prawns and add-ons, especially considering the price, and inconsistencies in noodle texture and pork rib preparation.

While some find the overall flavor acceptable, others feel the dishes lack an 'oomph' factor and are not worth the cost.
