Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the generous portions of noodles, with duck noodle soup named repeatedly, alongside sweet and sour noodles, seafood fried flat noodles, and vermicelli noodles with meat that a waiter recommended. Close behind, reviewers praise the value, the fast service, and staff described as friendly, and several say the portions are big enough to share or take home. A spring roll starter, spare ribs, and sweet and sour chicken with fried squid also get mentions. One reviewer notes the dishes are hearty rather than refined, and another says to ignore the exterior. The one sharply negative review claims the fresh juice tasted watered down and reports finding hair in the food, adding that staff wore no hairnets and offered no apology. Another reviewer, by contrast, calls the restaurant very clean. Several mention free water, and one regular who has been coming for years calls everything excellent.

“SHOCKING AN UTTER DISGRACE! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I am absolutely FUMING after our horrible experience yesterday this place is an absolute JOKE and should be ashamed! ❌ "Fresh juice" = COMPLETE LIE! Just watery rubbish pumped full of water — total rip-off, tastes like nothing! ❌ HAIR IN OUR FOOD — DISGUSTING BEYOND BELIEF! Basic hygiene ZERO — staff don’t even wear hairnets! Filthy, careless, unacceptable! ❌ Staff were APPALLING — RUDE, arrogant and completely disrespectful! No apology, no care at all! This restaurant is DIRTY, DISHONEST and has ZERO RESPECT for customers or basic standards. DO NOT STEP FOOT INSIDE — SAVE YOURSELF THE NIGHTMARE!”

“Great food. Large portions. Fast service and fresh despite being very busy. Our waiter recommended the vermicelli noodles with meat. We shared that plus spring roll appetizer and it was more than enough for two hungry ladies.”
