One of the good place for lunch. Simple nasi ambang (with chicken or beef). They also have “telur pindang”. Usually around 3pm and above already finish. Make sure to come early. Their Nasi Ambang quite simple not too complicated as the original one. Only rice without mee, but complete with ikan masin and vege.

Very good, tasty.. Peak hour during lunch time. Suggest to come more early. And the food will be finished around 3.30pm.

This is one of the best nasi ambang spot you can find in Bandar Baru Uda, JB. The taste are good but the portion a bit disappointed because the lauk a bit less. However you still can ask for extra on which lauk you want. No additional payment. Overall, I recommended you guys to try.

Came late, out of chicken for the day. Daging (beef) is tender and tasty. Like the touch of ikan masin goreng, crispy not overly salty.

The nasi ambang has chicken and beef rendang options. Tastes great and there are also other food options in the same vicinity.

My go to place for Nasi Ambeng since early 2000. The queue is long during lunch hour but the team works efficiently to move it. My choice has always been “Double Thigh Banjir” (Nasi Ambeng with 2 chicken thighs, sauce to be flooding). Have it there or takeaway, it’ll still be great to eat. Note that during the fasting month of Ramadan (the shop will be closed) but they will be selling packed Nasi Ambeng at the stall in front for Muslims to buy break fast food.
