Our take: Wang Lao Wu Chicken King appears to be a neighbourhood staple for some, offering a no-frills plate of chicken rice.
We see consistent praise for the chicken's tenderness and the flavourful rice, which some reviewers highlight as a standout.
However, portions of meat are sometimes considered small, and there are occasional complaints about receiving bony cuts instead of requested breast meat.
The Char Siew Wonton Mee at $4 also gets a positive mention for its meaty Char Siew and generous noodle portion, especially with the chilli.
We note some concerning feedback regarding service attitude, particularly during off-peak times, which could detract from the overall experience.
The atmosphere also seems to be an issue for some, with mentions of birds in the dining area.
While the food itself seems to be above average for a local spot, the inconsistent service and environment are points to consider.
We'd recommend it as a convenient, affordable option if you're in the Kallang area and looking for a quick meal, but be prepared for potential service quirks and a basic dining environment.

What customers say
Wang Lao Wu Chicken King generally receives positive feedback for its tender chicken and flavorful rice, making it a reliable neighborhood option for Singaporean chicken rice.
However, some customers report inconsistencies in order accuracy, food quality (e.g., old vegetables, charsiew stains on chicken), and particularly highlight issues with staff attitude and service, especially during off-peak hours.
The Charsiew Wonton Mee is noted for its generous portions and delicious sauce, offering good value.

Very friendly and quick service. The chicken was soft and tender and the rice was the stand out, full of chicken flavour in the rice. The only complaint is the amount of meat is too little.
