   The octopus skewers were our favourite, but everything was amazing overall - we loved it. Bonus: stellar playlist. Great evening!

   My daughter and I met for lunch at Lunch Lady this week. (March 28) The food and service were outstanding, as usual! This is our “go to” place for lunch as the food and service are always consistently excellent! Thank you Lunch Lady for another wonderful dining experience!!

   Foods and service are very good, but the price is a little bit high.

   The food was overall quite good. I couldn’t really tell what made the pho stand out compared to others, but the appetizer—fried soft shell crab—was truly delicious. It paired really well with the lettuce wrap and green chili aioli that came with it!

   Went for lunch and had the Wagyu Pho and Pho special of the day, a slightly spicey seafood medley that included crab and prawns. The Wagyu included a huge beef bone with marrow we scooped into the soup and along with the sous vide egg added decadent and delicate richness to the beautifully seasoned broth. I, of course, had to taste my partner's seafood pho broth which was mildly spicey, and had a tang and roundness of flavour that was delicious. The portions are large(!) so two of us took home left-overs (best left-over pho ever according to my lunch mate). Since it was a birthday lunch, the server surprised us with a Pandan sticky rice dessert which my nephew said was almost more delicious than his lunch. Almost. Great service; we had many servers tending to our table unobtrusively and always with a smile. The noise level gets a bit louder with a full house, perhaps due to less than ideal acoustics of the room, but befitted the lively, fun atmosphere. Been here for dinner as well and highly recommend it for both!

   Terrible experience because I had to leave a credit card to reserve - which did not bother me until we were told we could only be at the table for 60 minutes!!!! Unacceptable- if your guests are instructed to leave after a short time please tell them on your website and at booking It ruined the whole experience
