the oaks satay noodle house has been around for a long time in an otherwise desolate former retail space. this is testament to what they do well: quality cheap and cheerful food. the menu is extensive and features all the usual malaysian food suspects with some specialty dishes. the pork wonton soup with egg glass noodles is delicious and great value at $11. the portion size is so big that i couldn't finish it for lunch. there is a 4%(!) surcharge if you want to pay by credit card, which is probably their way of saying "bring cash" or just use eftpos and don't get caught out.

a colleague made me aware of the existence of this place and i'm glad he did! for the most part, you'll find the usual suspects somewhere between dish #1-#42.

the first time i came here, i had the nasi goreng and i've struggled (unsuccessfully) to venture beyond it. it's a seriously big portion. on the most recent visit, i decided to change the spice level from mild to medium. pretty impressive "bang" you get for your buck. the medium spice was pretty good, enough to leave a slight on-fire feeling but not that i was constantly gulping down water!

nothing like a cheap and cheerful meal and the oaks delivers on both those fronts. i popped in before a concert on a monday evening and was surprised how busy the place was. people from all backgrounds seemed to be enjoying themselves. the decor is a bit dated but the service was quick, staff were friendly, food was quick and tasted good. all in all, for what it is, it was worth the stop.

i got a takeaway pork, dumpling and noodle soup. it was delicious (great dumplings), cheap and the guy who served me was really nice. it was a good first visit to oaks, i'll be going back to try more of their menu for sure.

definitely cheap and cheerful food! delicious pad thai and red curry. 

my only gripe is not being open on mondays! 

nice quick service and great portion sizes.

over looking cuba st, oaks is a local favourite for offering big, delicious portions for a good price. went there on a thursday evening with a friend, she ordered a portion of roti that arrived when we were half-way eating our mains, but the food was lovely. sit by window if you enjoy people watching, plus there's always music coming up from the street, it adds a nice touch to the place.

sickly wontons, tasted like the meat had been sitting around for days, the same with the meat in the noodle soups and dumplings. very sub par food.

good cheap eat in wellington. char kwey teow (35) is consistently good, even my kids enjoy it. chicken on rice is good too (7) and noodle soups are nice. friendly staff and good with allergies.

would go here for lunch quite often when i was working down that end of town.

massive range of dishes to choose from and all for around the same price.

service is normally very quick, and portion size good. can be very busy around midday during the week.

order beef and meatball soup with thick noodles. yummy. service was quick. there's condiment on the table so you can add stuff to your taste. however, my table has a little bit chilli smudge (might be missed by the staff due to peak hour but no biggie though)

literally the best pad thai i have ever had. i dream about this food. kind of a hole in the wall place, but the food is amazing. convenient location. quick service, fresh, delicious food. big helpings as well and not expensive. if this place ever closed i don't know what i would do.

if i lived downtown i would go here every night (which i did when i used to live there)! my husband is now obsessed as well (everyone has their favorite number to order on the menu). he gets the fried rice and i get the pad thai, but everything here is great.

it is fun to sit inside and people watch (the restaurant is upstairs so you can see over cuba street). you can also get takeaway - either way good is amazing. staff is friendly. everything is always hot and fresh. try the tea with your dinner on a chilly day!

oaks is a great spot for a cheap lunch or dinner, smack bang in the middle of wellington cbd. it's cheap and tasty and the service is fast and friendly. you only wait a couple of minutes for your food and it's always hot and delicious!  oaks is like a secret society, each member having their favorite number, battling it out with their friends claiming their choice is the best. personally, mine's number 7 (it actually is the greatest).

still a great place to go for lunch. was introduced to oaks by a friend last year, and try to get back every so often.
have varied from the #20 only once, and it was an unmitigated disaster, so now stick with what i know. that said, i've looked at other people's dishes (as you do) and they look just as appetising.

assuming you can get a seat between 12 and 1pm the food is great, always fresh and too hot to eat at first, and reasonably priced for the cbd.

highly recommend if you're in a hurry and can get a seat. there's a reason why it's always so busy ..

really like going to the oaks. the staff are friendly, the food arrives fast and it is a good price. usually go to the oaks most tuesday's. order the same thing (41) and the guy remembers every time. he tells me i should try something else, but 41 is so delicious i just cannot resist. i like how the staff remember you!

been going here for the last 5 years since we moved to mt vic. authentic and cheap. our favourites are #19, fish curry soup and the kids like the pork won ton soup. often if i don't feel like cooking we get takeout from here.
