hometown kitchen

nice food. ordered the curry laksa for lunch on saturday and it was good. generous serve of chicken and fish cake and plenty of bean sprouts. the curry is flavorsome and spicy!

service was ok but did notice the wait staff don't pay enough attention to clearing tables once patrons have left. it can make therestaurantlook 'dirty' and messy even tho the decor is quite nice and modern.

i accidently put through an order for a satay chicken instead of lemon chicken. i can't eat satay because i am allergic. called therestaurantas soon as the order was placed and they did not answer my phone call, i called three times until someone finally answered. i asked if i could change my order to lemon chicken as i can't eat satay. they bluntly said “no we can't” without any further help. they then said we can’t because the meal has already been made. note: i had just placed the order, 1-2 minutes ago… so they made my meal in 2 minutes… they said they can change it if i pay an extra $5.00 which is absolutely ridiculous because although i made a mistake they made my meal in 2 minutes and didn’t answer the phone straight away when i called 3 times back to back. when i got to therestauranti said i was disappointed that they are charging me an extra $5.00 and the lady was really rude and didn’t want to hear what i had to say and kept talking over me and saying “are you going to pay, are you going to pay because you made us make you another meal now are you going to pay?” with a rude condescending smile. i then said i will be putting up a review and again with her condescending smile she said “it’s ok hunny, we close on sunday anyway”. i know they have moved to a new location but from the service i received i’m very shocked and would suggest others to order elsewhere because they were definitely not friendly and i wouldn’t support a business that is rude to their customers and not willing to help.

one of the bestrestauranti've visit when in perth. love the warm and homely setup.. the laksa taste even better than in singapore... my photo left me drooling and missing their food now. will definitely patronize again when i get back to perth!
oh yah.. in addition, their service is tip top and the boss is super friendly... thumbs up!

absolutely love this place. delicious food at a very reasonable price. definitely a hidden gem. live directly behind thisrestaurantand love being able to smell this amazing food being cooked every day. if you are looking for good, honest food, then look no further.

after reading different reviews, i m tempted to try how good some customers said. service is good. price is reasonable. decoration inside therestaurantis very nice. the food is not as delicious as what i expected for person that eat out often. charge extra when we asked to get more curry laksa sauce due to noodle soaks up the sauce in the middle of eating. with the location therestaurantit is, more for local people to visit. may not go back to try again.

went for lunch to this welcoming venue. decor is above average for this type ofrestaurantand gives a good impression. honey chicken was delicious as the honey sauce was not overbearing and the chicken bites were perfect little fluffy clouds. the singapore mee fun was also good with a great wok hai flavour. the claypot yee mee and curry laksa were both underwhelming; the claypot dish was very salty and lacked that comfort food factor and the laksa was too large with lots of noodles but only with one prawn, a little chicken and the tofu pieces were also little sour. so, despite the very reasonable prices (would have been happy to pay the excess for a few more prawns), overall this was a very average visit.

i guess i was claim that this is one of my most fav chineserestaurantand i would love to visit it soon. loved the claypot eggplant and mahpo tofu(hope i spelled that correctly)
i wasnt a big fan of the salted egg prawn but to be fair i am not the type that likes fried food.
had a chendol too which was decent. great food and lovely staffs.

a nice suburban malaysian chineserestaurantin town, whenever we missing malaysian foods this is the place that we love to visit ! they always have quality foods and friendly service with reasonable price ! especially love their curry laksa, chicken rice and fish head curry claypot! these 3 must try !

a few days ago, we went for dinner to hometown kitchen for the first time. upon entrance, we were greeted with a friendly and welcoming faces. this suburban hawker makes me feel comfortable like im eating a mates place. though the service was great, the food in my opinion is below average, hence that is why i rated 3/5. we ordered a few dishes, but i will just mention the good and the bad.
good: homemade tofu, this was nice, crispy and not too oily which i enjoyed thoroughly.
bad: western butter chicken. i only managed to take two pieces of chicken, because this dish tasted like fried chicken with condensed milk. it was extremely sweet! im well aware of western butter chicken, as other malaysian chineserestaurantsells them too.

overall, friendly service, but food wise, flavour was just a miss. probably will give it another go, but will
try their specialty, laksa! :)

believe it or not: we were here twice in a day!!! this was unusual for me, but my mom was so in love with their bubur cha-cha and couldn't wait to taste the other food on the menu. my verdict after those two visits: a small malaysian-chinese place worth going and coming back to!

the list of food is decent, highly varied. the price is reasonable for the area. i like their fried kuey teow, mee goreng, sambal lala, eggplant claypot, and of course, like my mom, bubur cha-cha. my son loves their salted and peppered chicken. therestaurantis famous for their curry laksa, and i must admit, for someone who's not much into laksa, i quite enjoy the dish.

parking could be challenging, i must say, during weekdays and when it's fully packed. therestaurantwas very clean, even the toilets look inviting! the staff members were really nice and would go their way to ensure our special order was fulfilled: "vegetarian mee goreng, please," "no sweet potato in the bubur, please" and even let my son chose his drink from the fridge. 

as said earlier, yes, i'd definitely go back and recommend this place to my friends. if i could, i'd give it a rating of 5, but only if therestaurantwould just concentrate on the dishes they do best (for example, the western fried chicken was disappointing...) all in all, i hope the chefs will always keep the taste consistent. 

thank you for your service peeps!! and keep up the good work.

delightful littlerestauranttucked in a quiet suburb but surprises with delectable dishes especially fish wing curry and mince eggplant in claypot. fish wings are battered before added to curry filled with ladies fingers which can be doused in rice.

this is our local chineserestaurantif we cant be bothered to travel into northbridge or victoria park.

try their homemade tofu and the duck in plum sauce.

rachel is super friendly and very accommodating.

definitely one of my comfort food favourites, and the best thing is it is close to home, so this is where i run to when i don't feel inspired in the kitchen (which happens pretty often!).
i particularly love the chicken kwey tiaw, ask for the chilli to be mixed in together and have it extra charred! the colour is darker and taste is different from most places where it's normally just sweet.
another favourite is the crispy noodle (sang mee?) - they give generous portion, noodle is just right, not too thin or fat, and egg sauce is not too thick & sickening.
i've tried a lot of varieties of their other dishes and they are all generally quite tasty, suits my palette well. the only thing that i can comment on is that sometimes therestaurant(food) smell can be quite strong and sticks to your hair & clothes if you stay there for too long.

i dont know how thisrestaurantgot an award.. hometown kitchen is well known for being the best laksa in perth according to sbs. and yes, they do make a good laksa. however, the other dishes are overpriced and below average. the first time i went, i wasnt impressed. i came one more time to give it another go and it still left me disappointed. not going back again.

i've been here many times and only thing i could say is totally love it!! friendly staff especially the chatty and friendly lady boss. herbal chicken, laksa & prawn toast is a must! best in town. seriously herbal chicken is even the best that i ever tried. love the modern design and clean layout, it is different from the rest of chineserestaurantwhich normally old fashion and awful moldy smell. 5 stars dine out place!!
