haha Hehe
Not much flavor except spicy. Noodle texture okay but wanton was bad, so little filling. Char siu very little and nothing special, would not get again. Soup bland too

Used to come here for meals but sadly i will not ever again. Got my order wrong, staff called back from someone else order because she gave the wrong one. I asked for a new bowl because I dont know if has been eaten or touched. Staff said …

The wanton mee was not too bad and quite well seasoned. The wanton (both fried and soup) versions paled in comparison. The fried fish cake was quite fresh and went well with the ice cold cucumber slices. The soup was quite ok, though they added quite a bit of MSG. This was ok for a quick and affordable meal at star vista.

Tasty, affordable and filling food. I was captivated by their poster of salted egg chicken noodle so I had that and was not disappointed. The cashier was helpful.
