Welcome to KIM KEE Nasi Ayam Hailam, a hidden gem nestled at 1, Jalan Kolam Air Lama, Taman Dato Ahmad Razali, in the heart of Ampang, Selangor. This Asian fusion restaurant might wear the guise of a typical Chinese eatery, but it offers so much more than meets the eye. It proudly caters to a diverse clientele, inviting everyone to indulge in its fully halal menu.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the Hainanese chicken rice, a dish that captures the essence of Malay culinary heritage fused with Chinese tastes. Customers rave about the generous portions of juicy chicken served alongside fragrant rice, which, while some find it not as aromatic as expected, is often complemented by KIM KEE's homemade sauces. The restaurant also surprises guests with a range of Western delights, from creamy mashed potatoes that are a crowd favorite, to crispy fish and chips, proving versatility in their culinary offerings.

The dining atmosphere at KIM KEE strikes a balance between cozy and casual, making it an ideal spot for families and friends to gather over a delightful meal. While the ambiance may not boast a lavish decor, the warm service and the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked dishes create a welcoming vibe that encourages patrons to relax and enjoy their time. It's worth mentioning that during busy hours, particularly on weekends, the service may be slower than desired. However, those who can overlook slight delays will be rewarded with satisfying dishes at reasonable prices—most notably, the chicken rice priced at RM8.50, which is deemed a steal for the quality offered.

The reviews reflect a genuine appreciation for KIM KEE's food quality despite its simple setting. As one customer noted, the restaurant may look unassuming, but the flavors delivered are unexpectedly delightful, proving that it's what’s on the plate that truly matters. Another patron mentioned enjoying a mix of dishes during a family dinner, highlighting the cozy ambiance and great value that KIM KEE delivers.

If you're considering a visit, be prepared for a little challenge in finding parking, especially during peak hours. But the delectable food and the experience of gathering with loved ones in a cozy environment make the effort well worth it. So whether you’re craving classic chicken rice or looking to explore Western dishes that satisfy your palate, KIM KEE Nasi Ayam Hailam is waiting to welcome you with open arms and a plate full of flavor.

Reach to the store around 3pm. Quite slow to serve my order. For me, rice nothing special not fragrant enough, but for chicken part I think it’s better than normal Chinese store, which they give u a real part of the chicken, not small piece of maybe breast meat then flatten it to look big in portion. Mostly Malay customers when I was there. Price for normal part of chicken rice is rm8.50 which worth to try.

During our first visit on Saturday night around 8 PM, my boyfriend and I discovered that the chicken rice was sold out. Instead, we ordered some Western food, which was really delicious and I loved the mashed potatoes! However, the downside was that the service was quite slow, and there were many empty tables stacked with dirty dishes. However, on my second visit with my family on weekdays, I could taste the nasi ayam and the service was not that slow compared to the first visit. Overall, I would love to come again for their nasi ayam and for the western cause its so good

KIM KEE Nasi Ayam Hailam might sound like your typical Chinese-style eatery, but don’t let the name fool you — this place is fully halal and proudly caters to everyone, whether you’re Malay, Chinese, Indian, or anything in between. A smart and inclusive business move that’s clearly working well for them. While the name suggests Hainanese chicken rice as the star (and yes, it’s on the menu), the surprise is their wide variety, including Western dishes that give everyone at the table something to enjoy. My brother and I went for the Western grilled chicken — a real throwback to classic Malaysian-style “Western food,” complete with broccoli, corn, mashed potatoes, and carrots. It’s that local version of Western cuisine we grew up with — simple, comforting, and familiar. Not trying to be fancy, just good ol’ hearty fare. My brother raved about their Beef Wellington, which he tried with my niece on a previous visit. According to him, it was surprisingly superb — though I didn’t get to try it since I’ve stopped eating beef these days. Overall, KIM KEE is a down-to-earth spot for a satisfying meal with mates or family. Nothing pretentious, just thoughtful food that caters to every taste — and every community. A place that feeds both the stomach and the spirit.

Restaurant did not look so nice but the food were so good. Nver expected. We had spaghetti, Fish & chip Mushrooms soup,onion soup.Portion quite generous. We also quite full. They didn't have enough staff, if you are too hungry better find another place especially dinner time. Must try..

We had dinner with family and really enjoyed the food. The quality was great, and the prices were reasonable. It’s a cozy spot for a casual meal with loved ones. Only downside—parking was a bit tricky to find, so plan ahead if you're driving.
