Ambi Cafe — Restaurant in Da'an District

Cute cafe. The ambiance was very nice and spacious. A bit hard to find walking down the street until you realize it’s underground.

Food was okay. We liked half of what we ordered. We got:

The chicken soup - really delicious and flavorful! Would recommend.

The wonton noodles - good and tasty, but nothing special. Noodles itself were chewy and a great texture.

Unicorn Noodles + Chicken - very pretty presentation but oddly tasted like chocolate and not very flavorful. The chicken itself was very juicy and yummy.

Matcha Latte - would not get again. Wasn’t really any flavor.

Apple Passionfruit Sparkling Drink - very good and tasty!

Lemon Basque Cheesecake - delicious but very small. I took it home to eat and was still very yummy.

Staff was all really friendly, but the service was really slow for some reason. There’s a 2hr time limit to eat at the restaurant. We got there pretty close to opening during lunch (was probably one to two parties in the cafe) and ordered at most 15 minutes after we sat down. My friend and I waited over an hour to get our main dishes. All the people who came after us had already gotten their meals and left by the time we got our noodles. We gave them the benefit of the doubt at first since a large party got there roughly the same time we did, but also seeing people who sat down after us get there meals did spoil the experience and food for us. We asked for the cake to go after the noodle because we didn’t want to sit at the table any longer.

Overall: visit if you want cute pics and good chicken. If sweeter noodles are your taste, you might like the Unicorn Noodles. Otherwise, my friend and I won’t be...

My husband and I enjoyed this cafe. He ordered the soy sauce noodles with pork chop while I got the unicorn rainbow noodles with chicken, and also a smoothie. We shared an order of the daily vegetable, which turned out to be delicious stir-fried garlicky cabbage. I quite enjoyed the yogurt-based strawberry-mango smoothie. The rest of the food was good, but nothing spectacular (though the unicorn rainbow noodles were definitely impressive to look at). My husband said his portion was too small to be a full meal; he was still hungry by the end. His food came much sooner than mine did, so that he was almost done before I had started. If there was going to be that much difference in preparation time, it would have been nice for them to wait and bring our meals together.

Overall, while we had a good meal, it wasn't amazing. We might or might...

First and foremost it needs to be mentioned that they offer a free drink for 5 star reviews. This is not to say their ratings are neccesarily inaccurate, but it is an important consideration before comiblng here

The main selling point of this cafe us the decor as the name suggests. The interiors are nicely done and nice for some pictures.

Food wise is perhaps slightly less impressive though not bad by any means. Ordered the wontons with chilli oil and shrimp fried rice and while they were both reasonably priced and tasted decent, the shrimp in both was veru slightly rubbery and overcooked.

Overall a decent experience, but personally I feel the ratings are...
