Had eaten at so many other outlets, including Vivo, Chinatown, Bishan, Funan etc. but the taste of the soup base here pales in comparison. Not sure if it was because my order was served wrongly to someone else and they had to rush out another bowl for me, but this bowl was so diluted (like spiced plain water mixed) compared to the many other times I ate elsewhere. Also tried their new San Suan Ban Mixian but it also wasn't as good as the soup version. Recommend that they boil the soup to make it more concentrated to match to the standards of the other outlet. Or I could have just been unlucky to have my bowl remade hastily without upholding the standards.

I recently visited TamJai SamGor Mixian restaurant on a Friday afternoon for the first time, and I must say it was a delightful experience. Unsure of what to order, I decided to go with the special offer, which included noodles with pork ribs and prawns, prepared with mild spiciness. The noodles were impeccably smooth and cooked to perfection, while the ribs were tender, practically falling off the bones as I savored each bite. The freshness of the prawns and the well-balanced, flavorful broth added to the overall excellence of the meal. However, I did encounter a minor hiccup with their online ordering system, which wasn't functioning smoothly. Consequently, I had to place my order and make payment at the entrance. Nevertheless, the simplicity and cleanliness of the eatery's decor, with its bright lighting and no-frills ambiance, made for a pleasant dining environment. What truly stood out was the value for money. For just around $12, the set meal included a drink, even though the drink choices were somewhat limited. The service, much like the decor, was straightforward and no-frills, with the predominantly middle-aged staff proving to be helpful and friendly. I'm eager to return and explore more of the noodle offerings on their menu. The step-by-step instructions for ordering noodles, along with clear pricing for each customizable element, make the ordering process a breeze. TamJai SamGor Mixian has earned a spot on my list of go-to places for delicious and reasonably priced noodles.

Food was generally decent. Clear soup broth was a bit too salty. The tomato soup was decent. Beef was not flavorful. Te noodles were decent. Place was simply decorated. Not too crowded nor noisy for a casual conversation. Staff were friendly and attentive. Pricing is a bit of the high side.

A refreshing twist on hotpot noodles, Tamjai Samgor’s Hot & Sour Broth is quite the revelation—complex, tangy, and layered with umami, likely from preserved mustard greens. The pork liver steals the show: tender, perfectly seasoned, and melt-in-the-mouth, while tofu puffs and shrimp soak up the vibrant broth beautifully. The rice noodles deserve praise too—springy, chewy, and adept at clinging to the soup’s bold flavors, akin to the chu mifen found in laksa noodles but with more bounce. A quirky addition is the meat sauce side dish, resembling a creamy, mild Bolognese. Unsure if it’s meant to be mixed into the broth or eaten solo, I tried both—it adds richness but shines better as a standalone dip. Skip the cloyingly sweet iced milk tea (included in the set); staff kindly swapped it for ice water upon request. While lunch lacks the tea-time promo deals, the broth and noodles alone justify a visit. Service is brisk but accommodating, and the casual setup suits quick, satisfying meals. A reliable joint for those craving depth beyond typical spicy broths—just brace for sweetness in the drinks but that could be a personal preference.

Interesting noodle shop. It's supposed to be from Hong Kong, but the flavour is more like from China, as I see Mala and Chongqing in the menu. The Mixian is more like the yew main in the banmian stall. You choose a soup base (there are 2 hot and sour options, I chose the house special) and you choose the spice level. Then choose different toppings (meat, vegetable, etc). The soup is quite flavourful. I like the addition of a bit of sze chuan vegetable in my soup. The side dishes were quite nice too. The tufei (bandit) chicken wings were quite good, just on the salty side. All in all, it's worth a visit if you want to try something a little different.
