What do recent reviews say?
Most reviewers praise the crispy roast pork and the easy, relaxed feel of the room. Many five-star notes are short, so the detail is thin. The 207 Google reviews average 4.5, with 75% at five stars.
Lunch can be slow, and one 35-minute wait at Friday lunch stands out. A few diners raised hygiene worries, including a reused soy milk bottle and dusty kids' bowls. Some also said cold rice and noodles and weak value for the price.
