Have always enjoyed their hokkien mee since they were at kovan.
Glad they opened one outlet here in anchorvale hawker.
This time round had an $8 portion and a $3 white carrot cake.
Like the taste of the hokkien mee as usual. This time unable to taste any wok hei though.
Am not a fan of white carrot cake but just to try here, taste is abit bland even though with chilli. It is ok but not for me.

Donkey and I were craving some good ol' Hokkien Mee, and Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee definitely delivered. We both agreed that it was a delicious and satisfying bowl of Hokkien Mee. The rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous portions made it a worthwhile visit. We also tried their carrot cake, which was good but could be more crispy. We'll definitely be back for another satisfying taste of this classic dish!

This exceptional Hokkien mee dish sets a remarkable benchmark for culinary excellence. Featuring springy yellow noodles and thick bee hoon stir-fried to perfection, it boasts the robust, smoky essence of *wok hei*—a testament to the chef’s skillful high-heat technique. The umami-rich flavors, derived from a luscious prawn-infused broth and tender morsels of pork belly or squid, linger delightfully on the palate. A standout feature is the duo of house-made chili sauces: one offering a fiery, piquant kick, and the other a tangy, slightly sweet accompaniment, creating a harmonious balance that elevates each bite. The dish’s aromatic depth, combined with its textural contrast of crisp bean sprouts and fragrant fried shallots, delivers a symphony of flavors. An absolute must-try for enthusiasts of authentic, expertly crafted street food, this Hokkien mee exemplifies why it’s a celebrated favorite among discerning diners.

I am perplexed how some can give this one star saying it has no taste. Maybe they don't know what hokkien mee or taste is. I admit the wok hei is weak, but the broth used is quite flavourful, the dual chilli also added nice dimensions to this dish. Of course it can be better, but I think the residents here will have a hard time naming a better hkm in seng Kang.

Falls so much out from my expectation.
Went with an expectation, left with so much of disappointment.
This portion is $8, around 4-5 prawns. Chilli they gave quite little despite asking them to top it up twice.
The prawns taste weird, it doesn’t had that freshness in them even though the waiting time was close to half an hour. The turnover should ensure the ingredients to be constantly topping up hence maintaining the freshness of it.
No wok hey, quite disappointing.
No pork lard despite the fact that I went because everyone says there’s a lot of pork lard.
Taste was really below average. Will not go to this outlet anymore.

The carrot cake was perfectly pan-fried, with the chay poh and chili complementing each other beautifully.
The Hokkien mee had a delightful wok hei aroma and was slightly on the wetter side, just the way we like it.

NEW (4⭐️) I realized something: the dry-style FHKM loses its heat/temperature really quickly. So, if you order a $10 sharing portion (see 2nd picture), you'll find it becomes a rather cold chow in almost no time. Be warned.
OLD (3⭐️) Okay, they seemed quite busy even around 2 PM on a Friday afternoon. The wait wasn't long, maybe about 12 minutes, and they were dishing out many plates as I collected mine.
Now, before mixing in the chili, it tasted really average, with no wok hei, and I think your experience would fall flat if you came with high expectations. I didn't, because I'd read enough comments about it.
Nevertheless, it's not a bad FHKM at all ($5), especially after I mixed in the sambal (dark red chili). I found myself enjoying it — and also discovered for myself — how big a role sambal plays in my FHKM.
Lastly, the uncle taking orders got stressed dealing with the customer ahead of me. Maybe he was new, or the request or order was an oddball. Anyhow, let's be more patient with them. F&B is not easy.

One of the rarest gems in Anchorvale Hawker Center, its Hokkien Mee is full of umami when every strand of noodle is soaked and cooked into its broth. I've been here many times too.

Simon Road Hokkien Mee truly lives up to its name! This joint is really good. From the first bite, you can taste its umami and wok hei, all rolled into one.
I’m so happy that the NE finally has a decent Hokkien mee store. I wish it were nearer to me in Punggol!
Service at this place is also top-notch. I made a mistake in my orders, and they happily obliged without charging me extra. They are really out to ensure you have a good time and enjoy their food!
The wait can be long, but all good things are worth waiting for. Order a drink and just wait for the beeper to beep.
Oh, the carrot cake – it's decent. Not the best, but still crispy. For $3, I'd say it's worth it.
