Tina's Noodle Kitchen — Restaurant in Melbourne

Hidden gem in Preston!

Stumbled upon Tina’s kitchen by chance and wow — what a find! The rice noodles are absolutely authentic, with a rich, flavorful broth that hits the perfect balance of spicy, tangy, and savory. I ordered the Spicy & Sour Beef Rice Noodles, and it was packed with generous slices of beef, pickled veggies, tofu skin — all the little details that make it taste just like what you’d get in Sichuan!

Highly recommend the crispy pork and braised meat platter as sides — super tasty and great value for money.

The space is clean and bright, and the staff were super friendly. The owner even came over to chat when he saw I was enjoying the food — such a warm vibe.

I also really love their golden fried pork floss bun. It’s super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, full of delicious pork floss.

Serving sizes are really generous here, and you could definitely share a bowl between two if you’re...

Everything about the food and venue presentation / quality is great

The service has been great when I get served by 1 of the guys there but he’s not always working when I go past.

I go an average of twice a week through winter and autumn but they’re either neutral or super rude. If you can put up with people being rude then you should try the food because it’s really good.

If you’re looking for a place to make your regular soup / noodle place I’d give it a miss. I tried to make it work because this place is roughly a 7 minute walk from my house but if I’m spending on average $100 p/month eating somewhere I can’t keep going when they have such a...
