Been a favourite with my family since it opened! Love the oolong lavender flavour a lot and I find neither element overpowering or pungent, so Iâve never understood why the staff would encourage folks to try first. Amazing value for its price point â look at the generous scoop size! â though Iâve had better waffles. Still, could rave all day about the ice cream and Iâm so happy to know theyâve expanded!
Nowhere near the most affordable for Chinese cuisine, but the hot and sour noodles were decent. Comes with lard and a generous topping of peanuts, but donât expect anything other than oil and noodles in this dish. No meat or other ingredients â youâd be better off getting the cup noodle version of this for half the price.
Stumbled on this chain that has really taught me not to judge a book by its cover (a restaurant by its decor lol). Naga Pasta sounded really exquisite on paper but for $16++ it wasnât near filling. Could barely taste the chili oil and some of the fried shallots were burnt, which added to the earthy/bitter taste that the choice of mushrooms (shiitake?) already brought plenty of.
While I love eggs, I found that the onsen egg here did not value add to the taste. This dish, supposedly a signature, could do with a bigger portion and also a sweeter or spicier seasoning to balance out that earthiness.
The deep fried laziji is a huge hit! You can taste the chili and peppercorns quite prominently and the batter is amazing. Youâll lose track of how many pieces youâre popping in your mouth!
My favourite dish to order at Chinese dining places! The spice had a much more fragrant kick here than the noodles, every cube of tofu was super addictive. Gravy was thick and serving size just right to share with 2-3 people, if youâre getting other dishes.
Huge, carb-heavy portion of biang biang noodles that is bound to fill you up so please come with an empty stomach! Worth what youâre paying for at $8.70 and the spice has a slight kick, though not as much as Iâd like. Just take note that the noodles are thick (think mee hoon kueh) but also long like regular noodles so they can be a bit tricky to eat. Best not to wear white!
Super tasty and worth the price, even if the portion has shrunk slightly over the years. Love the vibes of this place and the friendly staff. Totally worth coming back to over and over again! Will probably try another bowl next time Iâm there.
Beef patty was medium rare as requested, and fries were on the blander side. Overall I donât think itâs anything to rave about so I felt it was not worth the hefty price tag. This + iced oat latte (free upgrade to oat milk) set me back $40.
Healthy rice bowls priced rather decently by CBD standards. Got a salmon bowl with teriyaki sauce. By the time I got there, one of the sides was unavailable but I was happy to get more long beans! Good portions that arenât too filling as well. Best part was the salmon, obviously, as it was torched perfectly. Teriyaki sauce wasnât too sweet, which is a plus. You might want to come down earlier because the queue is super long during peak hour!
Huge fan of the beef noodles here! Soup stock is amazingly fragrant, very beefy if thatâs what you like. They also use fresh and good quality beef thatâs not too dry or tough. Beef balls are springy, as they should be. A bowl of sliced beef noodles + 3 beef balls will set you back $9.80 and for the generous portions, Iâd say itâs money well spent.
Had a plaster prata, one mushroom and cheese prata along with mutton curry and a drink. Set me back $13 which is I thought was reasonable for 2023!
First time trying the plaster and I can see why people like it very much. A runny egg yolk over any carb is the best comfort food ever đ Also enjoyed the mutton curry. Meat wasnât too tough and the curry had the right amount of spice, nothing too overwhelming.
Very generous portions here! Had a lamb ($12) and chorizo & beef brisket ($10) taco. Unexpectedly hefty in terms of the meat portions so two was enough to fill me up where Iâd typically need three smallish tacos to do the trick.
Preferred lamb more, it was seasoned well, though my only gripe itâs the whole 1/5 tomato inside it. Iâd have preferred if it was diced as it made the eating experience a bit tricky. Otherwise thought it was reasonably priced for the amount of meat given!
