Bubur Nasi Istimewa No. 1 is celebrated for its comforting porridge and an array of delicious, flavorful side dishes, making it a legendary spot for a quick and affordable meal. While the food and fast service are highly praised, some diners have noted areas for improvement in cleanliness, particularly around drainage and restrooms.
"Nice food here. The portion for the porridge looks small, but it's quite sufficient. The kuay teow is quite soupy but it's nice. Satay is great. The service is quite fast, cos it's not crowded. Many tables, too."

"I had my dinner at Bubur Nasi Istimewa No. 1 in Larkin as I wasn’t feeling well, so we decided to go for porridge. The service was excellent, with many waiters and waitresses ready to serve. While I was still in the middle of ordering, our two sets of porridge were already served — since no cooking was required — yet they were still hot, which was great.
We also ordered kuey teow goreng kerang and chicken & beef satay. The total bill was less than RM60, which was reasonable.
The only area that could be improved is cleanliness. Upon entering, we noticed a few cockroaches near the drainage. The sink was leaking, and the toilet was not very pleasant. With some improvements in cleanliness, this place would be even better."
