Why it matters
Why New WK Restaurant, Luyang is worth your time
Dim sum is a breakfast habit for Kota Kinabalu's Chinese community, and a suburban restaurant open from 6.30am shows that routine away from tourist streets. For visitors it gives a quieter, cheaper meal than hotel dim sum.
The stop is best for those who eat egg and fish; strict vegetarians will have little to order. Eating there also shows how people in the suburbs start their day, away from the hotel strip and the tour-group routes, which many visitors never see.

How to experience it
Dim sum is ordered in small baskets, so choose a few at a time and add more. The dish named by the directory is the salted egg custard bun, which contains egg and is not suitable for strict vegetarians.
I could not confirm from a page I opened whether the restaurant serves pork, so ask the staff to identify each item if you avoid it. Tell them clearly about any allergies.
Luyang is a residential and shopping suburb inland from the waterfront, so travel by taxi or ride-hailing car. Plan to eat before mid-morning on weekends, when families fill the tables.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Confirm hours and address
- Ask which items contain pork
