The Original Boat Noodle

The food is not bad but not nice also. Not authentic Thai food. The Pad Thai was too sour, too much ketchup. The beef boat noodles were too plain and lack savory. The grilled chicken was nice, with charred and crispy skin, but the meat itself was not marinated therefore no taste, it’s also considered overpriced given the relatively smaller portion (6 pieces of meat). The mango sticky rice could have more thoughtfully presented simply by removing the skin of the mango to make it easier to eat. The mango was not sweet also. Overall, the food is okay, not authentic. The service is standard. Not too crowded during off peak time. It’s our first time dining here. Maybe will try out other dishes next time?

Tried all the flavors of the boat noodle. All of them tasted blend and similar. Servings were too small even for boat noodles. Chicken ball were small and not value for money. 6 small chicken balls for $5.99. Fried spring rolls were nice. Ordered takeaway for their fried chicken skin as a snack and it was delicious. Would only go back for the fried chicken skin. Overall not value for money.

The portion size of the bowl of noodles has noticeably diminished, leaving customers feeling unsatisfied. The once-hearty serving has now been reduced to a meager amount, and to make matters worse, the price has gone up to $1.80++ per bowl. Even if one were to opt for multiple small bowls, it still falls short of constituting a regular-sized portion of noodles. This unfortunate circumstance renders the overall experience quite expensive, as each bowl amounts to a hefty cost of $9++. Additionally, the quality of the noodles is not the only issue. The broth, which is a significant component of any flavorful bowl of noodles, disappoints with its mediocre taste. It lacks the richness and depth of flavor that one would expect. Moreover, the limited selection of ingredients further dampens the overall dining experience. The lack of variety and choice leaves customers wanting for more, both in terms of quantity and diversity of toppings. Despite these drawbacks, there are a few redeeming aspects to the meal. The chicken skin, for instance, is a delightful addition that packs a flavorful punch. Its crispy texture and savory taste enhance the overall enjoyment of the dish. However, the same cannot be said for the fried chicken. Unfortunately, it falls short of expectations, failing to impress with its average taste and unremarkable preparation. In conclusion, the reduced portion size coupled with the increased price tag of $1.80++ per bowl makes the dining experience at this establishment quite expensive. The underwhelming broth and limited ingredients further contribute to the disappointment. While the chicken skin offers a glimmer of satisfaction, the mediocre fried chicken fails to salvage the overall experience.

Been here a number of times with the family and have always ordered similar items off the menu. First let's talk about the positives. Service is prompt and friendly. OK ambience and it's rustic. Tasty food and we like the tempura leafy vegetables - very consistent. We feel there was a tweak in the main beef recipe. Not as robust or tasty as before. Tom yum noodles though was better. Quantity seems to have dipped. The bbq chicken was not worth the $12, for a leg, it was way overpriced. The drinks were smaller (expensive for a small cup with loads of ice - see pics). Management may want to review their price point while comparing prices with other offerings in the vicinity. Was a 4 for me in the past... now its a 3

The restaurant was almost empty with just one diner having her meal. We were the first to order, and yet the service was incredibly slow. The boat noodles and fried dishes came out reasonably quickly, but we waited far too long for the Pad Thai—which should be a simple dish to prepare. The tofu in the pad thai was sour. When it finally arrived, it was extremely disappointing. The Pad Thai was far from authentic, lacking the flavors and quality you’d expect. Given that the restaurant was practically empty, there’s no excuse for the delays or the poor quality of the food. Definitely not a place I’d return to.

Food is average. I think $2.20 for a boat noodle at this mediocre standard. It's too pricey. Ordered the omelette with rice. It's a little bland but tastes better with the fish sauce added. Haha. The creamy Tom yum isn't creamy. I think the mama instant noodle is better. Haha.

I cant stand how lukewarm their boat noodles are! At first i ordered 2 bowls of kway chap to try, its very lukewarm or infact kinda cold. I thought the others might be okay, ordered another 2 normal bowls of beef boat noodles also its also cold and lukewarm! Super bad to serve the noodles in this state... Service is not very good too, spotted something very unhygienic. The waitress serve the boat noodles with her tumb almost touching the soap, she had grab the bowl way in and her thumb is just maybe 2 or 3mm away from the noodles....very u hygienic to serve this way... The only dish i feel its still okay is the fried palaya salad..
