South Dunedin Satay House — Restaurant in Otago

16 Jul 2020 - Having lunch and ordered chicken kua teaw. Definitely taste better than before, maybe because I dined in rather than takeaway (i.e. No plastic after taste from the takeaway container). It was delicious 😋 and I finished everything including the soup!

Would I go back? Yes 😏 Would I recommend? Yes, only the chicken kua teaw. I haven't tried other dishes.

Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Taste better than the last time in 2018. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Nothing special. Still the same interior deco. Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Reasonable price compared with other eateries with good portion size. Customer service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Friendly staff.

3 Oct 2018 - I was looking for something to eat and decided to do a Google Map search for nearby restaurants. This pops up as one of the recommendations. I went in and checked out the restaurant and decided to get a takeaway meal rather than dine-in.

The dining area is a located at the front while the counter is located in the middle of this shop. Behind this is the kitchen where you can see the chefs busy cooking the food 🍳. Anyway, there's nothing spectacular about the shop; multiple square shaped tables, and each table comes with 4 chairs.

There is plenty of choices to choose from; in fact 44 dishes to choose from. The cheapest option is $5 (satay chicken roll) and up to $15 (chicken chow mein). Average pricing is around $12 per dish and it won't break the bank.

I ordered a chicken kua teaw noodle soup to go. I ate it when I'm back in the room by mixing it up in a large bowl. It came with two containers; one for the noodles and one for the soup with containing the ingredients. Average taste compared to other noodle shops; it is slightly salty.

This is a non licensed eatery and you can order hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks. There is no outdoor area and smoking 🚬 is [definitely] not inside the building.

Street parking 🅿 only.

They accept cash and EFTPOS (debit card payment only, and Paywave is not available), for those who want to know.

Friendly staff.

Would I go back? Maybe 😏 Would I recommend? Maybe 😊

Revised review: I recently visited this restaurant with my family, and despite the change in ownership, the meals maintained their familiar delicious taste. However, one noticeable change is the portion size, which seems to have decreased due to economic factors, which is understandable. Unfortunately, during our visit, my favorite chicken noodle soup had a small piece of clear plastic in it, possibly from a noodle packet. This experience was disappointing, but I'm willing to give it another try in the future because I've always enjoyed the atmosphere and the food here.

Original review: I love coming here. Got the chicken noodle soup and the chicken satay burger, delicious! I can't wait to come back another time when I'm...

Great food, great service. I noticed a review below that was quite negative so I had to respond. We have had several sit-down and takeaway meals from this restaurant, never been disappointed yet! The person complained that they were charged extra for no rice - why is this a surprise, as rice is a filler and much cheaper than the extra meat you would have got instead to fill your container. Anways, I have nothing but good things to say about the food, which is always consistently good, and the staff are always super friendly and nothing is ever a bother. I often get them to change things up a bit, they have been more than...
