"I was very satisfied with my Sambal Chilli Noodles & Stir Fry Udon Noodles. The portions were excellent and the amount of non-noodle food items (meat and veg) was good. Very tasty. I would happily return."

"A Chinese noodle shop in the town of colac. First of all, the portions are big and definitely more than enough, secondly they can dish up the Chinese food in 10 min or so, good for quick dine in meal Had the satay noodle which was fairly good. Price is slightly high though, around $14-15 for most of the choices Good option if you stop by colac and don’t want KFC"

"As Filipino travelers craving rice, their 15AUD (- 550PHP) fried rice box and KFC bucket hit the spot! There’s a nearby KFC just across this Noodle Canteen. Fried rice has that smokey wok flavor, generous chunks of veggies, shrimp, and pork. It’s a little oily but that’s usual for Chinese foods. Grateful to the friendly staff for taking our last-minute order. One of the few places open past 9 PM—perfect after a long Great Ocean Road drive. Not sure if it was a temporary issue, but during our visit, the restaurant was only accepting cash payments."

"Stopped here on our way back to Melbourne. Recommended by our tour guide. Average food. But served the purpose of grabbing a quick bite. Clear winner over the other international choices such as KFC and MacDonald’s."

"Great service and great food! Definitely experts at anything with noodles. So glad they were open late after we had a long day exploring the Great Ocean Road. If you want to change the noodles, they’re ok with that. Workers were really kind. Wish they had this in Melbourne."

"One of the few asian food places in Colac. There's a wide menu of classic asian rice and noodle one-dish staples for around $15-$20 each. I ordered the singaporean beehoon which came in a huge bowl. I wouldn't say it tastes like the sinchew beehoon served in singapore but they are generous with the ingredients and it's quite decent! The china couple running the place are friendly as well."

"One of the most reasonable price food I had so far in Australia for the past 12 days. The food was fried on spot. And have a lovely ‘wok hei’ taste. Which as a typical Singaporean, this is absolutely important. But to say it is Singapore/Msian food. Is not quite authentic. But given that it has ‘wok hei’ taste and piping hot, is perfect!!"

"Ate here while on a coast road tour (on the way back). We stopped in with a tour bus full of people. They cooked our fried rice fresh and quickly while we watched. It was served hot, quickly and it was very very good"
