Dagu Rice Noodle Henderson 大鼓米线西区店

Disgusting, food did not look like the photos. Pork rib was only soft bones,pan fried dumplings were so dry, taste like they were cooked from frozen. Not happy at all

Have been to this place many times including Dagu in other locations. The atmosphere was always pleasant and comfortable. Service was friendly and fast. To date all the choices selected were tasty and portion was good with a free bowl of noodle. Keen on noodles? Try Dagu. Recommended.

First time trying this branch. The fried pork cutlet was really yum, buttery and flavour was not too strong and was a good entree/snack. I had the Dagu signature pork rice noodles which I had before. It was just as good as from another branch. We also had the fish fillet rice noodles. The broth was not bad and was made of the chinese fermented veges which gave it a more soury and distinct flavour. The white fish fillet which I believe was basa fish, was just average for me, it was tender but I didn't like the fishy taste. Overall, the food was still good, good price and comfortable place to eat in.

I recently dined at this Henderson shop and ordered the rice noodle dish. Unfortunately, I found the dish to be lacking in flavor, especially when compared to similar dishes I’ve had at other Dominion Road shops. The broth was quite plain, and I had to continuously add salt and other seasonings provided by the restaurant to enhance the taste.nnOne aspect of my dining experience that left me feeling uncomfortable was the service. A male staff member seemed to be giving us what some might call an ‘Asian death stare’ throughout our meal, which made the overall experience less enjoyable.nnWhile the restaurant had some shortcomings, I appreciate that they offered additional condiments to try and improve the flavor of the dish. However, I hope they can work on enhancing the overall taste of their dishes and ensuring a more pleasant and welcoming atmosphere for all diners.

Updating my review from four stars to two. This used to be one of my favourite places. Food is just not as advertised. There are other reviews complaining of this issue too. No wonder why it’s not busy here anymore.nnI have attached photos of the dish portrayed on the menu and my actual dish. The only things that matched the menu toppings were a sprinkling of the toughest enoki mushrooms I’ve ever tried, one piece of bamboo shoot and the cabbage.nnWhen I asked the staff member about the toppings, she asked the chef, who said they have NEVER had chives and the range of mushrooms advertised on the menu in the dish. The staff member later told me the menu was used overseas so they couldn’t provide the same stuff here. She gave me some more enoki mushrooms and chives after telling the chef a “customer was getting angry” lol.nnIf it weren’t for the fact that I’ve mostly enjoyed my meals here and the staff member being nice about it, it would be a one-star review.nn———nnI've been to two branches of Dagu Rice Noodle and have anyways enjoyed the meals I've tried. That being said, I have only tried their noodles range.nnThe soup is delicious - really hits the spot! The food normally comes out pretty quickly. They also give you free refills of the noodles if you dine in. People are saying one refill but I once went in as a big group to the Mt Eden branch and the boys had quite a few free refills each. If you order it as a takeaway, they give you two portions of the noodles with no refill.nnThe missing star is due to the service. It's not consistent but the level of service is normally average. One positive is that there are staff who can speak English reasonably well though, which is always a bonus!
