"Love this place so much that I treat myself once a week unless I'm away - the warm noodles bowl is my go to. The salads and meat are always fresh, noodles are straight out of the pot and they have a range of delicious sauces (I have my own favourite 'magic sauce' blend the owner came up with). The service here is warm and friendly and the place very cleanly presented and efficiently run. Best lunch on The Terrace."
