The food was ok. I ordered beef chow fun was nice, char kway teow and dragon rolls were good too. Nearby my working place and easy to get here. It is not extravagant or michelin star place but comfortable to have dine in for lunch there. Staff was pleasant and welcoming

Pretty good South East Asian fare. I would recommend it. However, it is pricey. If you’re touting Hainanese Chicken Rice, I believe the best is just a few doors down, at Gai Wong. Overall, pretty good, except the prices have increased since its opening, and I totally understand. Would I come again? Problem is, pretty much all are done well, but nothing is exceptional. So I do not have a lasting memory of any particular dish. If you’re looking for a place with everything, The Rice Cooker is it! There’s also Nanyang Express, Chinatown and Nanyang Cafe in Preston that’s WAY more cost effective 🙏🏽

Definitely will be back for more. Have tried 3 out of the 4 dishes we ordered today. The special fried rice had a lovely wok hei, yummy char siew with every bite and succulent prawns to accompany the dish. The salmon nigiri sushi was well balanced and delicious. The blow torch provided a lovely char and smokiness to the dish. The freshly cut onion and shallots along with the sauces were a wonderful addition to the dish. The dumplings are an unassuming side dish with delicious filling.

This is one of the favourite lunch spots in the area, known for its diverse Asian food offerings. While it can get crowded during lunch hours, the service is usually prompt. I’ve tried both takeout and dining in, and the food quality is decent for the price. The portions are generous as well.

Nice place to grab lunch, bookings essential for large groups. Service is reasonable quick, meal presentation and quality very good. Prefer to have bit more spice added to the meals, do get it that meals have to suit a wide range of palate.
