Great place for authentic Hong Kong style noodles. Great value when you add drinks for $2 or $3 extra. The fried chicken wings was tasty. Quick serve and good for a quick meal. No weekend surcharge

Amazing portions for the prices. The pineapple bun was delicious. The french toast was a let down (Too thin, it would have been nice to have thicker sliced toast). The grilled meat on rice, spring onion noodles and 3 choice toppings noodle soup (pork bone base) are all tasty. Refer to photo to see how much noodles in noodle soup. Toilet: clean Take away container surcharge : None Chilli oil : Present on table Only water, no hot Chinese tea (Can add $2 for drinks with your meal) the HK Tea+Coffee was delicious and served in a BIG glass. The place can probably fit about 15 customers. There are seven 2 hr car parks in front of the store and another seven 1 hr car parks on the other side of the road. However, can also park on Riversdale Road but have to walk further. Will definitely come back again.

A small HK style cafe, serving HK style cart noodles/rice, which is basically choose you own noodle type, topping and sauce... it is a great option to tailor the meal to meet your dietary requirements. The drinks are good. It also serves some snacks e.g. HK style French toast, HK style pineapple bun amd deep fried chicken wings. Friendly staff and quick service. Do expect a line during peak lunch hour.

New proper HK cafe that sells 車仔麵 and other usual cafe dishes. There was a good variety of food ingredients for the noodles and tasted quite nice. However, the turnip needed to cook a bit longer as it was not soft and juicy. The spaghetti was a bit bland. Overall, the food was ok and we don't mind trying this out again.

Friendly vibes, hearty portions, seriously tasty rice dishes and Hong Kong cart noodles. The grilled pork chop was tender but could definitely use more (Portuguese) sauce in the cheese baked rice. The variety of toppings for the cart noodle customisation is huge- everything we tried was delicious, especially the big intestines, beef tendon, curry pig skin, and beef brisket. ???????? Top 90s–00s Canto hits playing in the background and no weekend surcharge make it feel like the good ol' days. The chili oil packs a punch. Self-service table water, and free guest Wi-Fi since there’s no phone reception inside. There’s one mixed-gender accessible toilet on site. Cash and card both accepted. ???????? Most mains are $18 + $2 drink.
