About
Yu Yi Bak Kut Teh
Welcome to Yu Yi Bak Kut Teh, a hidden gem nestled in the bustling streets of Pudu, Kuala Lumpur. This delightful eatery specializes in the iconic Malaysian dish, bak kut teh, offering both dry and soup variations that cater to a range of tastes. Positioned at 53-6, Jalan Barat, the location is easily accessible, making it a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. With the added convenience of a friendly English-speaking staff, ordering your meal becomes a breeze.
As you step inside, you're greeted by a humble atmosphere that’s both welcoming and practical. Many diners prefer the air-conditioned indoor section, especially during the sweltering Malaysian afternoons, while the outdoor seating offers a more laid-back atmosphere, albeit with a few challenges when temperatures soar.
When it comes to the food, reviewers have often mentioned the delicate balance of flavors in Yu Yi’s bak kut teh. The herbal broth is noted for being lighter compared to the traditional heavy styles, allowing the tender meats to shine through. For those who enjoy a soupier experience, the wet bak kut teh is a delightful recommendation, rich with aromatic herbs that linger pleasantly on the palate. Testaments from diners like Rachael Lim and Adrian Sim highlight the delicateness of the meats, with particular praise for their generous servings of ingredients such as button mushrooms and enoki.
The dry bak kut teh, while praised for its flavor, has received mixed feedback regarding the meat consistency. Some diners, like Eden and Adrian Sim, pointed out that while the flavor is commendable, there can be variations in tenderness, which might challenge your culinary expectations. However, the overall experience is complemented by additional dishes like the eggplant with minced meat and the butter prawn, both of which have garnered favorable reviews for their freshness and taste.
Service at Yu Yi Bak Kut Teh is another highlight, with staff known for their attentiveness and friendliness. A few reviews suggest they could benefit from a tad more patience, especially during busy hours with tour groups. But overall, the quick service means you'll spend less time waiting and more time enjoying your meal.
In conclusion, Yu Yi Bak Kut Teh offers a unique take on a beloved dish, making it a must-try for anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur. Whether you’re indulging in the comforting herbal soup or savoring the flavors of the dry version, your taste buds are in for a memorable journey. Just remember, if you choose the outdoor seating on a hot day, perhaps a refreshing iced tea is the perfect companion to balance the sumptuous flavors of your meal!

“ Ordered - Dry BKT - Soup BKT - Egg Plant with Minced Meat Dry Bkt was good apart from some inconsistency in the meat as some is hard and some is soft, same for soup BKT. Both is good in terms of flavouring. Eggplant with minced meat was also good and soft. ”
“ Bak kut teh style that’s lighter with more herbal broth flavours. Meats were tender. Fast service. Atmosphere is basic, one indoor section with air cond and the outer section is without air cond. Can get pretty hot on a hot day. ”
“ For food, 1. the Spring Onion Ginger Chicken have to monitor on it because is still bloody from 1 nos of it, and the portion is quite little (5 nos) as a small portion 2. Bank kut teh soup is lighter but acceptable 3. Steamed egg too watering (mixed too much water) 4. Butter prawn nice and fresh For service, 1. auntie server might need to be more patient while seating guest instead of keep rushing them to seat 2. Counter need to pass the message via phone clearly instead of keep repeat while call in few times ”
“ Introduction from my good friend, there is a BKT restaurant. Service here is nice, speak Chinese and easy to oder what you want to eat with pictures showed. Better to dine inside with air-conditioned at lunch time. It's hot if you eat outside the restaurant. About the food, wet BKT is good, others are average delicious, it is ok with my challenging tongue. Drink tea with ice cube, you gotta pay 2RM for ice. It is special. Overall, I will come again if I go KL again ”
“ Bak Kut Teh is average and quite expensive. Staff is friendly and food serving is fast. A lot of tour groups eating here, so we need to sit outdoor. After the meal, quite thirsty as the food is salty. ”
