Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Char mee and Mee Goreng were just stodgy and oily noodles. Very little else. Not a great meal. Wont be back. Need to up their game, good, 5 years ago but now, just mass produced stodge.

Six meals were served over the course of an hour. The second meal arrived 25 minutes after the first. One meal was sent back as a spicy version, not mild was served. The replacement didn't come with its protein, and this was delivered separately 10...minutes later. Generally, the food was good but service was poor. Such a shame as previous visits were v.good. perhaps the kitchen had a bad night.More

The food was tasty enough. But we felt it was a mass produced production of mainly noodles and rice with very little meat in the meals. Too busy with diners and takeaways. The roti were very disappointing. They were stodgy and were just like the...square roti you buy in the supermarket. Would we return? Probably not.More

I ordered the Tofu dish, a chicken curry a coke zero and a piece of roti. The waiter looked confused and asked if I wanted ruce with the curry, so I said yes. The Tofu, curry and rice arrived but no coke or roti, so...I waited and then asked. The coke arrived BUT NO ROTI, so then the waiter came back and struggled to understand that I WANTED a ROTI. It eventually arrived with its own sauce and tamarind paste. Why on earth is a PIECE of ROTI so damned problematic?!More

Great customer service. The restaurant was busy in the evening but we got our meals quickly and they were hot and delicious. This place is definitely a favourite that we’ll revisit.

The food was horrible. We ordered four dishes, two were partially horrible and two very average. The tofu with satay sauce was inedible and fried vegetables were more batter than vegetables. The lemon chicken wings didn't taste of lemon at all. The roti with a...curry sauce was very sweet. We would not recommend this restaurant in Victoria Street at all.More

Excellent lunch spot. I'm currently visiting Wellington and was looking for something quick for lunch. Came here on a recommendation and was not disappointed. The Mee Goreng was delicious.

Food was nice and spicy, and plenty of it as well. Service for me was exceptional, although slight delay for my friend, so I started eating before him! This is similar to my experience when eating in restaurants throughout SE Asia...

From the moment you walk in you will be able to see that this place is not little and very spacious inside with lots of opportunities for seating. The waiters are helpful and get you to your seat and you choose what you want to...eat. We ordered a Pad Thai and a Bihun Goreng and whilst the sizes and rather big it is filling and tasty. I would recommend that getting an entrée should only occur if you are really hungry because you will struggle with the big portion sizes unless you plan on taking some away and eating it the next day. You are required to wear a mask just to your table and then are free to take it off and not needed to put it on again. There are also plenty of places to scan in.More

Every time we visit Wellington this is a must visit spot for us! The Char Kuey Teow is extremely delicious and always consistent. The second dish we order always varies but never disappoints. We tried the otak-otak on this visit and it was very nice....Nice cabinet options including sweet and savoury treats - all delicious. Staff and nice and very accomodating Will be back again and againMore
