Editor’s Note
Last updated 30 May 2026
Our take on Somerset Fishball Noodle is that it offers a robust, old-school flavour profile, particularly in its dry Mee Pok, which comes with a strong blend of pork lard, vinegar, and chilli.
The fishballs, especially the 'sai toh' variety, are consistently praised for being plump and juicy.
We note the generous portions, with a standard bowl of fishball noodles priced at $5, and a small at $3.50.
The fish dumpling kway teow soup is highlighted as a unique and comforting alternative, with smooth, chewy dumplings and a flavourful broth.
While queues can be long during breakfast and brunch, service is generally efficient, keeping waiting times reasonable.
We acknowledge the recurring feedback about the 'auntie' being less than friendly, but this doesn't seem to impact service speed.
Overall, it's a solid choice for traditional fishball noodles, especially if you appreciate a strong, flavourful sauce and good quality fishballs.
Best for those who don't mind a bustling atmosphere and can overlook gruff service.
