Overview

一家海鲜饭店 Yi Jia Chinese Restaurant, nestled in the quiet town of Sekinchan, Selangor, is a gem that redefines expectations for regional Chinese cuisine. Despite its name suggesting a seafood focus, it specializes in authentic Chinese dishes crafted by a skilled chef hailing directly from China. This authenticity is immediately noticeable in both the flavors and preparation.

Among the highlights, the Luo Hon Guo herbal pot and Longan Herbal Tea stand out for their depth and comforting warmth, perfect for those seeking traditional medicinal flavors with a modern twist. The Stir Fry Kai Lan offers a fresh, crisp balance to the meal, showcasing the kitchen’s mastery over classic vegetable dishes. But it is the Teacher Style Deep Fried Fish and their signature Xinjiang lamb skewers that elevate the dining experience. The fish, with its delicate crispy exterior and tender flesh, contrasts wonderfully with the robust, aromatic lamb skewers—available in both rib and boneless cuts, packed with smoky, juicy depth that has won loyal fans. These skewers, as many locals attest, are some of the best in the region.

The restaurant’s atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with the lady boss encouraging a lighthearted and friendly vibe. Staff members are attentive and patient, especially when explaining dishes to visitors unfamiliar with Chinese cuisine, thus enhancing accessibility for all diners. The space itself feels modest but comfortable, ideal for families and casual groups eager to explore authentic Chinese flavors away from the typical commercial settings.

Yi Jia Chinese Restaurant is a perfect stop for those traveling through Sekinchan who appreciate honest, hearty food grounded in tradition. With plans to move locations nearby in early 2025, it’s worth visiting soon to experience their culinary craft firsthand. Whether you’re after a nourishing herbal stew, perfectly grilled lamb skewers, or a warm welcome in a laid-back setting, Yi Jia promises a memorable and genuine taste of China in Malaysia.

Was surprised to find out this Chinese cuisine in Sekinchan. Stopped by for lunch. Their chef is originated from China therefore needless to say the food was superb. The lady boss was fun and easygoing, Staffs was nice and friendly creating a really great vibe around. Definitely gonna go back again next time! Highly recommended Saw someone commented feeling upset due to no fish in a seafood restaurant. But this is not a seafood restaurant tho, it’s a Chinese cuisine.

I wondered why my initial post had disappeared after a month. I thought the restaurant may have closed but I was here again yesterday and was happy to see them still open and doing good business. Their food is good and mom (being the one with the most discerning palate) gave thumbs up after we dined here in October. The service is very fast and the staff there is super friendly. I don't read Chinese and they patiently explain many of their dishes to me ha ha!

Yi Jia Chinese Restaurant, Sekinchan – A Hidden Gem for Xinjiang Lamb Skewers Yi Jia Chinese Restaurant in Sekinchan is a typical Chinese restaurant, not a seafood place, and it came highly recommended by local friends. It has also become my son’s go-to spot after a seafood lunch in Kuala Selangor. The highlight? Their lamb skewers! The best I’ve ever had—tender, juicy, and flavorful. So far, I haven’t found any skewers elsewhere that can match or beat these. They serve two types: • Lamb rib skewers (with bones) • Plain lamb meat skewers (boneless) Both are equally good and worth trying. Since we were already full from lunch, we only ordered skewers, dumplings, and glass noodles as snacks. Based on what we tried, I trust that their other dishes would be just as delicious. Note: They are moving a few doors down in March 2025, so be sure to check their new location!
