Shaolin KungFu Noodle 少林面馆 — Restaurant in Howick

The quality of the experience is all about ordering the right dishes. Ordering outside the westernised classics (sweet and sour chicken etc) is the way to go for fresher, lighter dishes with well balanced flavours and hand-made noodles & wontons …. we were unimpressed when we had delivery but dining in we ate really well (see difference in pix). The place is undoubtedly run-down and I doubt anything has been redecorated or renovated since the early 90’s, but it’s clean and the food is affordable, generous in portion and quite delicious (if a little over sauced & seasoned).

Glad we came back to give it...

There was only 1 staff on the floor to take orders, collect payments, clean the tables & deliver the food. Feel sorry for the girl! Food wasn't that great actually! Lost my appetite after experiencing his nasty behaviour & it was a MOTHER"S DAY lunch treat from my friend. Message for owner: Learn your manners & don't shout at your customers. Remember you...
