The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Wah Kee's diner is austere - dazzling fluoros, grey formica tables, vinyl chairs but strut the tatty red carpet and you'll feel like an instant celeb"

The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "Wah Kee right in, sit right down and let the friendly staff at this unprepossessing 18-year stayer in downtown Clayton ply you with trusty hawker-style Malaysian and Oz-Chinese fare."

The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "AN ideal destination for an indecisive individual or squabbling family, Wah Kee offers an enormous range of dishes that traverse the highlights of (hawker-style) Malaysian and (Aussie-style) Chinese cuisine."

The Age, A2, 29/5/04,Matt Preston,'Given the decor it's perhaps no surprise that this spot is such a hit.I'd cross a suburb or two for their menu of hawker and hybridised Chinese-Malaysian dishes.The fried char kueh teow is all dry-fried and toasty, but the standout dish is the quaintly named "purple pig" pork with slippy sweet fried eggplant.Wonderful stuff.'

The Age, Epicure,4/5/04,Matt Preston,'This is bold,confident food with a vibrancy that comes as a shock in such surroundings.'
