The food was okay and service was fine overall. One thing to take note of if you are dining solo and if the bar seating is full. They will allocate you to a shared table with other people. It is good to know in advance so you are not caught off guard. The meal itself was decent but the seating arrangement might not suit everyone.
Tried the promotional pork ribs — unfortunately, it was disappointing. The ribs were very tender, but that’s where the positives end. There was barely any char siu flavour — no real savoury, umami or sweet depth, and no sticky, caramelised glaze. It tasted quite bland, almost like it hadn’t been properly marinated (I've attached photos of what is was advertised as and what we received). On the bright side, the dessert portion (banana fritters with coconut sago) was generous and flavourful. Food Quarter’s pork ribs were much better in both taste and quality.
Great food and fresh flavors! We had to wait a while since it’s walk-in only, but the meal didn’t disappoint. We tried the dumplings, Barramundi, and the Pad Thai—which was the winner of the night. The service was good, though the timing was a little off (our entree arrived after the mains), but the quality of the food won us over. We’ll definitely be returning!
The atmosphere, look, and service was great but the food was generic and underwhelming. The Asian greens with the ribs were so hard and bitter. The ribs were tender but sauce was a little bland. The stir fry veggie dish was flavourless and some veggies were so hard they really couldn’t be eaten with much enjoyment. It’s such a shame as I recall the old Fat Noodle when it was in the Treasury venue being really excellent.
This restaurant is amazing. We had been here on the opening night and several times after I must say when Luke is here it adds a lot more character. The reason why I’ve given only one star is because the menu needs a freshen up. They need to change the menu.
