The Oaks Satay Noodle House — Restaurant in North Island

My experiences: I brought a friend who could barely stand the smell and described it as smelling like "expired grease & oil" also claiming the air felt heavy to breathe, so imagine stodgy air. So she left within 10 secs of entering. rip. Deep fried chicken (had it two different occasions): chicken was well cooked, but the deepfried casing was as if they took some thin plastic, deepfried it and called it day. No seasoning (or if there was, it was probably just cinnamon), accompanied by sweet chilli sauce in a pottle. Good sizes however. Side salad: I asked for no dressing (balsamic), it was healthy which is positive, didn't feel like it had any extra negatives, seemed washed with a glisten, oxidization on the lettuce (or could've been some days old), but seemed fresh. Lemon Chicken: Terrible. Tasted like someone took lemon syrup and poured it on some overcooked rubber chicken, next to some rice and called it a day. $18.90 well spent. Mee Goreng (this was another time I went there): Again, pretty terrible. Felt fake tasting, as if they added curry powder, salt & cumin and called it a day. Portion size was decent, please don't order it.

Pros: -Staff were incredibly lovely & considerate -Had a bathroom -Was quite quiet -Seemed cheap (get what you pay for) -Neat location -They seemed flexible to what you dietary...

The food here unfortunately isn’t as good as it used to be. I’ve been ordering the same dish for over 10 years so I can tell if the flavours and quality has changed. I started to notice the decline a few months ago but decided to give it a try again. Number 7 with fried rice is my go to. They charge an extra 4.2 dollars for the rice to be fried rice. The fried rice was all clumped up and it was cold on the bottom. It barely had any eggs, and it charged me 4.2 dollars. They changed soup as well, it’s not as flavourful now. The chicken was ok. But the chef has definitely changed since the fried rice is only egg and rice so I’m surprised they managed to mess it up. The fried rice no longer has that Wok Hei which is very important in...

Ate there now more than 3 times and i must say, their food and meals are great, i tried number 30,32 and 8, all were very dilicious, fast and fresh, the crew is friendly and helpful. you could choose lots of meals without meat or could choose between chicken, pork or beef. The building looks a little bit dogy and old from the outside, but their food is too great to stay away cause of these reasons, neverate better Asian food in wellington. Plates are very big and even the biggest man will have enough to eat. Cool is also that they have lots of little snacks for cheap prices and a big card with a picture of the meal! Make a better otherview of their card! Prices are okey and you get something...
