Order Food in orakei

My friends highly recommended this seafood restaurant, my expectations were also set very high. Unfortunately, upon trying it out, the taste and quality of the ingredients were average at best.

A rest owned by a northern Chinese couple. They are very nice, could not speak mandarin well instead they spoke a dialect. You can still understand them 80%. Food was good, big portion, and most of them are yum. Hi La soup was seasoned with tons of spices and made it undrinkable to me, but other customers seemed fine. It could be personal preference. Price is also reasonable. We will be back for more but not Hu La soup.

As much as we love bal ganga, one thing this place lacks is consistency. We ordered momos (delicious btw) two times in 2 weeks. First time when the owner was there, the order was good. The second time we went, the order wasn’t complete. Momos were carelessly thrown in the container, there was no sauce with it or the special powder/masala was missing.

The lady is lovely! Always welcoming to me and my family. The Banh Mi is super fresh!!! Pork and Ham Banh Mi is my favourite!! We’ve eaten here like three times already & the food is always fresh!! The Vietnamese iced coffee is my absolute FAVOURITE! I don’t usually drink coffee but this is my go too. Wish they served it in larger cups because it’s super YUMMY.

My partner recommended this restaurant for its dry noodles with peanut sauce, so we decided to visit for dinner on Sunday. We ordered the dry noodles with peanut sauce and dumplings (dandan noodles), kkwobarou, and shrimp fried rice. The noodles were delicious as expected! The peanut sauce paired perfectly with the dumplings. We loved it. The fried rice was quite good and generously portioned. Lastly, the kkwobarou, fried with a layer of glutinous rice, was incredibly tasty and sweet. I really enjoyed it! Overall, we had a great dinner here and this place is highly recommended.

Food was soo beautiful. Some sweet some spicy. Very tasty.
