I’d tried the food at other branches of Kang Su before and when my friend suggested to have a meal here at Kang Su Far East, I’m delighted (as I know it’s going to be a good vegan / vegetarian meal).
The food here is great as well; reasonably priced and friendly service too.
Keep up the excellent work.

I’ve been eating at Kang Su for about three years now — from their Far East Shopping Centre days and now at Far East Plaza — and I genuinely love their food. The quality has been consistently good, and on the rare occasions where I gave feedback, you could tell they took it seriously because things improved on my next visit. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and most importantly, the taste is always 👍🏻.

Good rendering of some local flavoured street foods by this small Vegetarian eatery. Although not exactly the best that i have tasted, the dishes that we have ordered were still considered Good, for the amount that we had paid for.
-Kang Su Kolo Mee (Dry) had springy, al dente noodles tossed in a savory aromatic sauce made from soy-based seasonings, topped with tender mock char-siu, crispy fried beancurd skins and fresh scallions. Overall flavour was well-balanced, with hint of sweetness and saltiness. Could be better if smokiness from the mushroom oil were more distinctive.
-Ban Mian (Dry) had thick, hand-pulled noodles, coated in rich savory sauce from soy, sesame oil and hint of black vinegar, topped with mock minced meat, crispy shredded deep-fried tofu and fresh scallions. However, noodles could had been more chewy. Overall flavour was balanced, with hint of sweetness and saltiness too.
-Chicken Rice, had fluffy rice cooked in a savory blend of ginger and vegetable broth, but lacks fragrant. Its paired with pan-fried Tau-Kee and rounded up the dish that’s hearty and deeply satisfying despite being entirely plant-based.
-Fried Chicken Cutlet made from soy-based protein, was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delivered satisfying crunch with every bite.
As the shop was rather small, clampy and had limited seating capacity, its a eat and go kind of place. Thus we were not comfortable enough to enjoy their food, especially after waiting for more than 10 minutes to get our 1st dish.

Dropped by during lunch time — small place and packed, but turnover was fast. Had the Kolo Mee and it was really good. Noodles cooked just right, flavour on point. Definitely worth coming back for

Quite a small space but the food is decent. Pretty good for a vegetarian. Do not mind going back again. Had the signature kolo mee. Chilli is not bad. My friend ordered ban mian dry, portion might be small got guys. $5-8 on average.

Came by during lunchtime on a Monday. Walked past a few crowded eateries and came across this quieter place. Then discovered it's vegetarian.
Ordered a kolo mee dry, at $5.80. I opted not to have chilli. The noodles were cooked al dente and flavourful. Ingredients were tasty and so was the clear soup. I think there wasn't msg in the food, or not much.
They have many options for rice and noodles, and can customise as well. Overheard a group of three ordering the same dish, one without vegetables, one with chilli, and one with noodles (instead of rice, presumably).

Wallet-friendly vegetarian F&B in a quiet building in Orchard. Dishes are all vegan and allium-free, while some drinks contain dairy. Personally didn't enjoy the Black Pepper Udon and Ban Mian Soup from my visit years ago (lots of starch and little ingredients), however I enjoyed the Bittergourd Tofu Rice, Thai Style Chicken Cutlet Rice (non-veg companion asked me if it was really vegan hahaha), and Fried Wantons from my recent visit! Hope the drinks can use plant-based milk in the future!

I had the Thai style chicken cutlet rice which was a tad spicy so I needed a tissue. The yellow stuff in the bowl is tofu. I also enjoyed the bowl of soup that came with my mains. Super value for money option for decent food in Orchard. Service was efficient; it is a tiny shop at level 5 of Far East Plaza but it’s clean.

#1st review#
This establishment is a small, clean restaurant offering a concise menu.
1. Kangsu kolo mee - features authentic noodles with a right texture, available with or without chilli. Toppings include vegetables, vegetarian goose skin, mock char siu, and minced meat (a flavour profile reminiscent of mock mutton).
2. Wanton soup - offers a flavourful broth and notably smooth wanton skins, filled with the same delicious minced meat.
Orders are placed at the counter, with payment accepted via cash or PayNow. Self-collection of food at the counter thereafter.

The Black Pepper Udon was enjoyable, though I still favour the kolo mee. The dish used high-quality black pepper, resulting in a good fragrance and flavour profile. However, the udon texture was softer than my preference, and the sauce, while flavourful, was somewhat watery.
