Dumplings were falling apart a bit this time, but in general great, quick service even when busy.

Convenient location, and friendly service, although always busy at lunchtime. The menu is a bit pricey, but worthwhile to try. My favourite items are a tie between the BBQ pork banh mi and the tofu & mushroom banh mi (both vegetarian and vegan options available). Crispy bread and the staff generously pack it in with ingredients. Also tried the chicken & mushroom dumplings (8 per serving, panfried) based on a classmate's recommendation. The filling was yummy, and even though it was a little on the dry side, the dumplings came with a very moreish sweet and spicy coconut curry dipping sauce. Pretty good! UPDATE: Highly recommend the steamed vegetarian dumplings. The velvety smooth dumplings skin is the way to tell how freshly they are made. The sweet and savoury ginger sauce, however, elevates - must try!

Convenient location to grab food on campus and the food always smells lovely when walking past. The dry egg noodles with roast pork is a must try!

My work meal favourite! Love the Sitlo discount, staff are helpful and quick. Not much atmosphere but a great place to pick up your work lunch!

Quality has improved. Used to be really cheap and not worth the price paid for lunch. Much better and worthy of being rated as four star. I had the bahn mi as shown.
