Gangnam Lane 江南道 — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

Below is my constructive comment.

I used to have lunch at this food stall regularly and previously gave high praise to the old Korean lady who appeared to be the manager. However, after being away to another country for some time and recently revisiting, I have to withdraw my positive reviews and personal recommendations.

Additionally, the food has become noticeably greasier (as shown in the attached photos. These photos were taken during my last time with the food stall.

Service was much more friendly but unfortunately that doesn't make up for the terrible food. What am I gonna eat...

The lunch boxes here are fantastic. They're good value, filling and tasty.

The two sizes of boxes both come with good amount of tasty Asian greens, which complement the choice of mains well.. and is a less guilty choice.

I haven't tried any of their other menu options, but some of their made to order items looked quite good.

Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a...
