Hao Wei Restaurant

Stepping into Hao Wei Restaurant in Lawas feels like entering a welcoming crossroads where the rich bounty of Sarawak's coastal waters meets heartfelt home-style cooking. The mood is comfortably unhurried, a quiet assurance that good food and genuine care await, whether you choose to settle into the cool comfort of the air-conditioned upstairs dining or the more casual pace downstairs.

The atmosphere hums with the easy rhythm of a local favorite — families, travelers, and seafood lovers sharing moments across tables brimmed with freshly caught treasures. The scent of garlic, chili, and butter curry sauce blends invitingly with the subtle earthy aroma of midin ferns and fragrant rice, setting the stage for a meal that feels rooted in the region’s coastal traditions and diverse flavors.

What makes dining here more than just a meal is the sense of thoughtful attention — from the freshness of each steamed fish to the tender, spice-kissed chicken and the vibrant bursts of sambal. Many find comfort in the range of seafood prepared with care, each dish reflecting both the skill of the kitchen and the pleasures of simple, well-executed ingredients. The experience is enhanced by quick, courteous service and an environment where even the small details, like the surprisingly bright and clean restrooms, signal a place that values your visit.
