hometown kitchen

hard to beat!!. good to see 99% of the reviews for this place are positive, we are locals and dine here regularly, never a complaint! excellent food, excellent service and reasonable prices. this place is fast getting known by people from far and wide. just one small negative - when it is real busy they do tend to get a bit flustered and the service may suffer, but what the hell, the quality of food makes up for it!

not bad for a suburban restaurant. love the red bean pancake dessert. curry fish wings is nice. would be great if its fish head. homemade tofu is a must order, crispy on the outside soft inside. will try the butter chicken and pork belly next time as recommended. want to try their herbal chicken too. lady boss very friendly. place looks clean and spacious.

one of the best curry laksa in perth. being an avid curry laksa fan, i decided to give ht kitchen a try because so far the best laksa in the city in my opinion is the curry laksa in munch delight, south perth. ht did not disappoint though. the servings of chicken, prawns, eggs etc were very generous i have to say and it's probably the most generous curry laksa i have ever come across here in perth. the broth is flavorsome and spicy although the one in munch delight has a slight edge in this respect. nevertheless it was an awesome experience and i would definitely come back for the curry fish head one evening as i am also a big fan of cfh. price wise it is exactly the same as munch delight i.e. $10.80 per bowl. its definitely worth a try for those who fancies curry laksa !!!

nice restaurant set up and the food was not too bad. we tried the pork belly and butter chicken. price was ok, but not as cheap as mentioned on the urbanspoon page. might go there again but might not.

food crap, service bad, price expensive. i have party last friday. i felt very disappointed. fish head curry is bad, only spicy, no flavor, try ' 津津' in bateman, '阿旺美食' in bull creak, then you know what is the best. 'spicy pork belly' is even worse, taste horrible. the service is bad, no welcome greeting, they do not care what customer feel. they just want to rush you finishing your food.
price is too expensive due to bad service, bad food. i believe that any chinese restaurant food in willetton is better than hometown chinese restaurant. i won't come here anymore.

love love love it!. i am a super regular~once a week is a must! my husband and i will never get sick of the menu there!:d we have so far tried many different dishes, none of them have made us disappointed. i love especially the baba tofu, caixiang tofu, special hometown fried tofu (i can only rmb the names in chinese lol), ganxiang chicken, chicken rice, herbal chicken, the fried pork....so many! the staff are very helpful and efficient, not to mention about the ladyboss, she's like the friendliest lady boss we have ever met haha~if you have no idea what you would like to have, she will always recommend nice ones for you! ^^

just then i read about a negative review by this guy, jon smith..i think he's just here to sabotage! everything there is nice and clean..he left two comments and said he found a rat tail in a bowl of noodle, and never going back..yet he went back for the second time and left another negative comment?? wat the heck..i can't just sit here and do nth..

cheap & good. ever since i introduce my inlaw to this place, he hasn't stop going to pack the dishes!
one time he tried packing the fish head curry and man that was sweating hot! a different style of curry fish head (which has slight tamarind sour taste) and very fresh fish head pieces and lotsa vegetables.
i dined there once for lunch and i really miss the yee mee - would love to go back for more if it wasn't so far from where i live

takeaway. have only had takeaway from here and not eaten in the restaurant. food is excellent and the beef satay a standout dish. portions are good and ingredients fresh and plentiful. not sure if i would want to eat in the restaurant though as it always seems so noisy when i go to pickup my takeaway. a family favourite for us when we want an asian meal.

family feed. have been to you before with just a couple of us and loved it so i took my family from nz there as a large group and they loved it! service was good and you just kept the dishes flowing...thanks for a great night and nice food!

oh their homemade herbal tea and tofu! and look at their curry fish pot !!!! so huge! delicious!

absolute crap, service was crap, food was crap. cheap attempt at trying to pull off decent food. never going back. don't eat here.

out of city lies a quality restaurant which serves homestyle malaysian food. it list of impressive menu has common malaysian food like

memories. visited this place on a saturday as the boss wanted to eat curry fish with our friends. arrived at 1730. sat down and placed our orders. according to the boss, there was a dish which is chicken fried with curry leaves which is a staple singaporean/malaysian dish that is not available here.

did the ordering. curry fish smelt nice and was not too spicy. the chicken fried with curry leaves was different but not knock your socks off delicious. beef in spring onions was a fail safe dish to cater to the young palates. the homemade tofu was divine. it was nice, soft, mushy and totally tasty.

the downside? for some reason, if you sit facing the door, you will get a faceful of sunlight when eating. not a biggie but can be quite irritating due to the high traffic. and as other reviewers have posted, the dishes tend to be the expensive side. those 4 dishes, rice for 4 adult, 1 child and chinese tea came to $90.

so... ... all i can say is while it is nice to have memories and reminisce about them, they don't come cheap.

revisited this place on the 13/01/2013.
omg! what a change. ordered the curry fish as before. but this time round, the curry was very weak and watery and there was no fragance at all.

ordered 3 other dishes to suit the little ones. pork spare ribs, mixed stirred fried vegetables and fried chicken. i am absolutely sure that the portion size has decreased since we have last visited. however, the prices if nothing have increased. also as we were sitting at the back of the restaurant, they have put up a screen of some sort and it makes getting attention very hard as the servers all tend to congregate at the counter.

not sure if it is because since between visits, they have won an award from trip advisor which is displayed very prominent in their menu but perhaps they have let success gone to their head and slack off. so unfortunately for me, i would have now to revise my opinion to a thumbs down.

and to cap it off, 4 dishes, rices and tea was a grand total of $110. that amount with reduced portion sizes and sub standard food was a hard earned lesson for us.

hometown kitchen. got asked to go to lunch with john lee, his wife and another chef mate peter, wow very impressed, we had the fish head curry, spicy pork belly, chinese greens, crispy fried pork belly, kuey teow and a bean curd dish plus a squid dish, big big serves, with full bellies we all shared a chinese pancake and icecream, i also requested teh c "iced tea malaysian style", not on the menu but to the staff, no problem and it was great, all in all i will be back there and so will my friends

the foodie. the only quality dish we found was the fish wings curry, although we came at a time when the restaurant wasn't crowded, we found ourselves to be invisible. if not for us trying most politely to get the attention of the waitress, we would probably be waiting there for 20 min before getting to make our orders. oddly, i was told that the owner is very friendly. we probably wouldn't be back for a long time.
