Sepinang Sari Mi Sapi / Mi Kolok Haji Salleh - Kuching, Sarawak

Isk I.

Sepinang Sari Mi Sapi, better known as Mi Kolok Haji Salleh, is one of those places you check off your Kuching food list. The menu is decent, nothing overwhelming, but you come here for the classics anyway. Taste-wise, it’s decent too, though perhaps not the life-changing bowl of noodles some hype it up to be. Price is a touch on the higher side considering the humble setting, so don’t be shocked when the bill feels a bit more “city café” than “kopitiam.” The environment is alright, but it gets packed easily, so be prepared to share tables or eat with the soundtrack of clinking bowls and chatter. Staff are okay, not exactly warm hugs but they get the job done. The best part is its location in town, though parking can be a little nightmare. Will I come back again? Maybe, if I’m nearby and craving a decent bowl.

The OG place for Mee Kolok/ Mi Sapi. While locals might think this place is overrated and there might be better option, this place is my go-to option whenever im in Kuching.

Expect a busy atmosphere in the morning with the servings running out at around 11am-12pm. It did take a while after ordering, around 15-20mins of waiting after being seated.

Price is a little high but not unbearable

Unpopular opinion:
Overated place with mediocre mi kolok.
Daging tak rasa apa pun, bland, tiada rasa manis daging.
Price point is expensive compared to others which is far better than theirs.

40 mins of waiting atleast. Not sure how the queue is like on weekdays. I came here as it went viral but tbh there are better options out there like Mee Kolok Tang, but they’re only open from 6.30pm onwards.

The price for 2 people was around RM31+.

The meal was rather bland, the chilli & soy sauce were veryyy diluted and tasteless. Again, Mee Kolok Tang is the benchmark for me 🤣 the best part of this place is sadly just the soup 🥺

A staple in Kuching’s food scene, Mi Kolok Haji Salleh has earned its reputation as one of the best places for this iconic dish. The long queues and packed seating speak volumes about its popularity. The noodles have a familiar Kampua-like taste and meet expectations, while the drinks complement the meal well.

Although the hygiene could be improved, the overall experience remains satisfying. With its rich flavors and loyal following, this spot is well worth a visit.

I ordered a full bowl thinking o would share with my friend but ended up having to finish it 😅 fortunately the food was light in my tummy and I loved the fact that it was accompanied by cili cina like in Sabah so terubat rindu 🥰 teh panas met with my requirement and price was cheap. We were lucky to get seats for 9 of us, as I heard on normal days it’d be a very long line.

Not bad. You need to queue before getting a table. The taste of the mee kolok is quite good. RM10 per bowl is a little expensive for a small portion, maybe because it's a famous restaurant. The normal price outside is only RM7-8.
