the oaks satay noodle house

good portions for what you pay, pricier than they used to be but still cheap.

super fast, they still surprise me with how fast the food comes out sometimes.

we took a homeless french dude with us once, he complained that fish was not fish and was disgusted that the main came before his entrée. this was agoodmemory.

although it is obvious that most of the meat is pre-cooked i have not found this deters from the fact that the meals usually taste good.

staff are always nice, and they are happy to modify meals(more veges, more meat, etc) i haven't had any delay to cooking time when this is done either.

for what you pay this place is perfect, it is not fine dining, but it also doesn't cost more than $15 for a meal.

unplanned visit to the oaks satay noodle house. evethough it looked a bit dingy, sometimes these are the best kinds as the food is guaranteed to be authentic and nothing like you’ve ever tasted. but i guess on this occasion this was not the case. we ordered the green curry with rice and tom yum soup with rice. the green curry wasnt all that but all i could taste was the coconut, like the curry had been diluted with water. the tom yum really caught me by surprise, $14.40 for 4-5 shrimps and a whole bunch of sliced celery and sprouts. i did ask for medium spiciness but i dont think that meant less flavour or taste. it tasted like water. i also had to send the shrimps back to be cooked more as they were very greyish and translucent looking. i just needed it more cooked? anyway, i literally had a few pieces of shrimp and a spoonful of rice and that was my dinner. sorry but it wasn’t agoodexperience.

portion sizes here are great! the staff are lovely and even more so if you become a regular (like me!) the food isgoodtoo, some meals are hit and miss depending on your taste but the majority of time i've been here it's been really tasty, hits the spot ~

great place for you to have lunch or a (really) casual dinner date, watch non-stop cuba street while enjoy your meal 🇲🇾

------> my go-to meal is chicken pad thai (extra spicy)

i found the black bean rice meal & laksa to be very bland & average, & not really fresh or thatgoodvalue for money compared to other options eg capital market

i have been to this place many times and it never fails to amaze me. i usually order the marinated chicken on rice or nasi goreng. today, me and my friend have decided to go there for dinner and we ordered casserole brisket soup and beef and meatball soup and both dishes were very delicious! you get agoodportion for the price you pay for, which is pretty cheap.

i'm addicted to their nasi goreng! very fastgoodservice and friendly staff. agoodatmosphere looking out onto cuba street. check it out for somegoodmalaysian food!

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 agoodfirst visit to oaks, i'll be going back to try more of their menu for sure.

over looking cuba st, oaks is a local favourite for offering big, delicious portions for agoodprice. 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.

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

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 waygoodis amazing. staff is friendly. everything is always hot and fresh. try the tea with your dinner on a chilly day!

really like going to the oaks. the staff are friendly, the food arrives fast and it is agoodprice. 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!

prettygoodpricing andgoodfood

still loving the meals here

i use to go here when i was at uni about 5-6 years ago now and use to get the chicken cashew fried rice, always delicious andgoodvalue!

value for money --- verygoodfood at cheap prices. we always come here when we miss that asian homecooking we grew up with. the food here always taste like home!

i had marinated chicken and it was very tasty. their chicken noodle soup is always a hit when i long for comfort food.

don't expect anything posh...just very verygoodasian nosh.
