hometown kitchen

i accidently put through an order for a satay chicken instead of lemon chicken. i can't eat satay because i am allergic. called the restaurant as 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 the restaurant i 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 theservicei 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.

first time here. was impressed with the extensive vegan menu. ordered stir fry soft noodle. fried rice. salt and pepper ‘chicken’ and sizzling tofu. we didn’t have to wait long. food was absolutely amazing. good size portions too. no scrimping there. can’t wait to go back and try some of the other vegan dishes. place looked very clean andservicewas brilliant. highly recommend.

when it comes to rice the options are quite small but the food is still good. the staff are nice and theserviceis quick. nice music and atmosphere

visited for its recent hype on ig but food wasn’t as good as i thought it would be. ingredient used wasn’t fresh andservicewas rather flat - there was only one other table apart from us. when asked at the counter how did dinner went, lady apologised after being told food wasn’t fresh. it was my partner’s birthday and i suggested this place. oh man. we were disappointed and agreed that we would not return again.

one of the best restaurant i'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, theirserviceis tip top and the boss is super friendly... thumbs up!

my family and extended family choose to have our get togethers at hometown, staff are so welcoming and eager to make sure u have an enjoyable experience, the dishes here are far better, definitely in taste but in price too, than similar restaurants. the staff are great at recommending new dishes for you too try, hence we have new favourites now. thanks hometown keep up the greatserviceand tasty dishes.

have eaten at hometown kitchen many times and have never been disappointed. it is casual dining in a pleasant relaxed environment. it is not overly flash, but you are not paying overly flash prices either. it is clean, comfortable and very pleasant. theserviceis always excellant and wait staff are very friendly, polite and efficient. but the main thing here is the food which is simply delicious. have tried a number of items in the menu and have loved them all. my only disappointment is that we have moved to regional wa and can no longer enjoy the culinary delights offered by hometown. can highly recommend this restaurant

after reading different reviews, i m tempted to try how good some customers said.serviceis good. price is reasonable. decoration inside the restaurant is 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 the restaurant it is, more for local people to visit. may not go back to try again.

we went there on last friday. theservicewas good 👍👍i finally tried my fav meal: clay pot yee mee, reli special & tasty. definitely must order meal in here for me every time i visit 😊😊

a nice suburban malaysian chinese restaurant in town, whenever we missing malaysian foods this is the place that we love to visit ! they always have quality foods and friendlyservicewith 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 theservicewas 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 chinese restaurant sells 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! :)

after seeing all the advertisement i decided to try this place. its located a little out of the way in a small local complex. the decor is typical of a modern chinese restaurant. ordered the seafood curry laksa, herbal chicken, japanese tofu, stir fry beef, honey pepper pork and steamed rice. 
the herbal chicken was a whole chicken cooked in a herbal soup. the chicken was cooked well and very tender with a mild herb soup. nice but nothing special. curry laksa is suppose to be a chef specialty. came out warm with a mild bland flavor. other places in northbridge are better. (ordered the laksa because i saw a sight that rated this place as having the best laksa in perth, but i think this place must have paid for this rating as this is far from the best laksa in perth) i would recommend you rather go somewhere else for laksa. japanese tofu came out sizzling with egg and some veg. it was good but the same from other asian restaurants. stir fry beef was ok with tender beef and veg. the honey pepper pork was very average, battered pork pieces in a light pepper honey sauce.
my friend said he once had take away from here and was disappointed with the take away and that the food this time was better. theservicewas good and helpful.
overall this place seems to focus on advertising and promoting its self. should focus on the food more. i would come here if it was my local and i did not want to drive 15min to somewhere else. its ok with average food toservicethe local area but not worth driving if you are outside the local area.

years have passed since we were last here.. flavours were good but servings were on the smaller side. also... theservicewas a little lacking despite the "doorbell" system. the same one as paparich where you ring the bell for assistance though... noone seemed to come around and we had to ring the bell several times. i do like the decor here!

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. the restaurant is 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. the restaurant was 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 the restaurant would 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 yourservicepeeps!! and keep up the good work.

authentic food, good service. my mum and i ate there on sunday, we had curry laksa and mee goreng. my grandfather ran a curry laksa stand in penang, and my mum makes a killer curry laksa, so i know a good curry laksa when i have it. this curry laksa is the nicest i've had in perth since malaysia garden's riverton forum days. ask for extra chilli - the burn and taste is reminiscent of good old hawkers. i would only suggest more beansprouts, but i'm sure the kitchen would accommodate if i asked.

the mee goreng was fantastic - it had the smoky, dry and charred flavour, without being burned. i always like to eat mee goreng, but i find that many places make it too sweet, or too soggy, or smother it in tomato sauce. this mee goreng was just right, and of course, amazing with the extra chilli.

theservicewas good, solid chinese restaurantservice- friendly and efficient. overall, i was happy to eat there, and had a good eating experience and will definitely be going back. i want to try the other dishes on offer, and am looking forwards to the fish head bee hoon next time.
