How we read reviews →Clayton's go-to for authentic Hunan rice noodles with a self-serve condiment bar and free mung bean soup.
Bright, spacious and unfussy. a no-frills noodle canteen with clean tables, a busy self-serve condiment station, and the kind of hum you get when regulars feel at home. More student canteen than restaurant, with quick turnover and communal energy.
All-you-can-customise condiment bar with dried chilies, pork crackling, fried peanuts, sour beans and pickled vegetables; complimentary mung bean soup; free pickled side dish; one free noodle top-up (50g) per diner; choice of flat, round or thin rice noodle shapes; online ordering available.
Genuine Hunan (湘菜) regional cooking from China's Hunan province. The self-serve condiment setup mirrors authentic Changsha noodle shops. Reviewers with Hunan and broader Chinese backgrounds confirm the taste as home-style authentic. Stinky tofu. hard to find in Melbourne. also on the menu.
Generous portions at accessible prices (around $19 for the signature pork noodle with free condiments and mung bean soup). Consistently praised for value. Some reviewers note portion sizes have slightly decreased and extras (additional noodles, takeaway boxes) now carry a small charge.
