At first glance I thought this rather plain looking cafeteria-stye eatery near the bus-station in…read morethe Myer centre was probably just another one of those Asian greasy spoons where you can fill a takeaway container with fried rice, sweet and sour everything, beef and black bean etc. But then I realised their bain marie housed some really interesting and authentic looking Yum Cha style delicacies and of course, there's the titular Shanghainese noodles. They also do the popular bubble tea and a range of frappes, but when I visited the selection was a bit limited as they were out of quite a few of the flavoured syrups. The two ladies who served me (I got the impression the older one was the mother and the younger one her daughter) were very apologetic and lovely about the whole thing. In the end I settled on the 'peppermint black tea' with 'pearl jelly'. I also picked up a snack, one of their intriguing 'tea leaf eggs', which as the lady described is an egg hard-boiled in tea. While the effect of the tea infusion could be seen in the egg's discolouration, I'm not sure if I could identify the tea flavour on a blind taste. It was yummy though. I'd love to go back and try the noodles and some of their other bain marie treats like their dumplings, whole grilled fish, red bean buns and maybe even chicken feet if I'm feeling adventurous.

Best authentic Chinese in the city…read more Is it a happy coincidence that this place is directly opposite the bus-stop for the main Sunnybank bus? It can be a little tricky to find if you're not specifically looking for it or you're catching a 130, but when you do find it you will be rewarded. They have yum cha stuff in the bain maries including various types of steamed buns and they're the biggest BBQ porn buns I've ever had! They also serve noodles, and meal sets including roast duck or pork. As per habbit when at Chinese eateries, I ordered the roast duck meal set and a pork bun. To be honest, I would've been satisfied with just the pork bun it was that big, but it was good to try more stuff. The roast duck came with succulent duck, a huge bowl of rice, steamed vegetables and a bowl of soup for around $13, the duck was so god damn good, saucy and tender and the meal was excellent value. They shop is extremely authentic and it shows in their customer base; only white guy in the entire dining room ;-). If you're on the ground floor of the myer centre and are going to settle for KFC or McDonald's, walk straight past them and head over for an awesome feed that will fill you up. Ps. Unlike a lot of the sushi joins in the city being run by Koreans, this place is Chinese run by Chinese

Chicken pad thai ended up being okay enough, topping it with soft shell crab made for a very picturesque combo... sadly just one that was entirely average in the end. Am curious to come back for pho or other dishes tho, and the location in Brisbane's CBD is great.

There's water and some condiments that you can self serve. Overall, the soup was rich but a bit too salty for my taste.

The Short: Great value take and go asian cuisine, with fresh flavours…read more The Long: I was looking for a change from the regular things I have for lunch in the CBD, and knew there were some good places up in 400 George. What attracted me to Noodle Hutt were the attractively presented buffet station with what looked like just out of the wok offerings. I chose a new flavour that I'd never tried before: Balinese Chicken. The flavour is spicy, with visible chilli flakes present in the slightly sweet sauce. I chose the fried rice rather than boring old plain rice. It costs no extra. The chicken was thigh meat rather than breast, which is a more flavoursome cut. I did find myself fishing out some gristle between chews. But flavour is King. The portion size is such that you could easily have some for lunch and come back to it for dinner, or leftovers for the next day. For $8, you really can't complain about the meal size. Huge is an accurate description (and I'm a big eater).

Located in the food court adjacent to the Santos building, Noodle Hutt is a very solid standard for…read morea filling, quick and economical lunch. Options in two main varieties: made-to-order noodles and rice plates. The rice is pretty standard. You can get steamed or fried rice with a smattering of meat and vegetables. Total price including a drink hovers around $10-12. Portions are ample but the rice to filling ratio is a bit skewed to the former. The noodles however are what keep me coming back. First, you'll need to choose either stir fried or soup noodles followed by the type of noodles (I recommend the flat wide noodles). Then you'll pick the sauce from a list of set Asian options and finish off with your choice of meat and/or vegetables. The range of proteins runs from chicken to seafood and the price escalates from $8.50-$10. I haven't been disappointed since I started eating here and have made it a point to come almost once a week. The food is hearty, not too oily and won't break the bank. 4-stars for a great working day lunch option!

It's nothing but dressed up ramen noodles. Something keeps me going back to their website though to look for their 2-4-1 deals and whenever I do find one, back I go to slurp my way through a bowl of miso ramen. Wagamama Express is better than its predecessor in that the meal prices are cheaper and the food is just as tasty. The menu is not as extensive of course - there's only one ramen option available if you want noodle soup. However, they've covered the main lunch time favourites such as katsu curry, teriyaki chicken and yaki soba. It's also situated in the Myer Centre food court so it's casual dining. It'll be interesting to see if Wagamama Express can compete against the Japanese food court favourite Hainachi or whether it's purely trading off its brand. My guess is that it's here to stay.

Unlike the Asian buffet next to it, Happy Noodles cooks everything fresh to your order. More spicy or less spicy? Because it's fresh, you can specify your taste preference. You'll wait a couple minutes for the fresh preparation, but it'll take you a lot longer to devour the huge plate of well-seasoned food that you'll score for $8.50. Rather than grabbing a soda or tea from the cooler, order a freshly made mango iced tea for only $3.00 to satisfy your sweet tooth and curb your caffeine cravings. I'm officially a fan of the Happy Noodles and with Macca's Free Wifi available at my table in the food court, I didn't have to waste anytime uploading photos of my meal and writing this review! Two thumbs up from me! Last tip- get in before 12:10pm to beat the lunch rush and grab a table.

For a food-court vendor, the quality of the food is pretty impressive. It is also very reasonably priced as the meals are huge. Happy Noodles doe not look that impressive upon first view; their logo and display photos look like they have not been replaced since they first opened, but like all good Chinese restaurants, what really hits you is the smell. You know, that Chinese food smell that sends your cravings through the roof. I have had a few dishes from here and they do not disappoint. A lot of people seem to order the noodle stir-fry dishes which are indeed very appetising but I particularly like the noodle soup with braised beef dish, mainly because the beef is sooooo tender and packed with flavour. The service here is always very friendly and you will never have to wait long for your meal to be cooked, even during their busier lunch period. Out of all the food options in Toowong Village (it is pretty limited), Happy Noodles is the place I would recommend to anyone.

Yum Cha Noodle Haus, I've trusted this place since they'd started. I'm a decent fan now you would…read moresay. I miss the Yum Cha that my partner and I would visit at North Lakes. That's where I found some of my favourite Laksa. It's one of my favourite meals now. Really anything you order will be delicious. Now because the Yum Cha that was at North Lakes wasn't bringing in the customers consistently and have been taken over. Doesn't mean I won't make my way to the Myer Centre one. Because I am a uni student, and I've always been a sincerely picky eater, liking this place and having a love for this cuisine, it means a lot to me. My only pointer would be, to be patient and clear with what you want as an order, don't get annoyed if you weren't voicing what you want to the server. That's not on them entirely, it's on you too, especially when Myer Centre is bustling and rustling. Don't go off just one visit either. Order different things. Not just your usual, I get like that too, habits are deeply instilled and you can have the same thing nearly every day.

For a place in the Myer food court, this place is really not bad! The selection is good with a…read morevariety of meat (duck, shrimp, chicken) with your choice of noodle soup or rice. There's also congee if you're in the mood for porridge. The yum cha selection is also ample. For me, I tend to go for some of the lesser eaten stuff like beef tripe and tofu skin rolls. The fact that they actually serve such dishes in a fairly western dominated environment shows that there's likely actually some demand for their more traditionally Chinese items. The flavors are as you would expect in a fast food type Chinese restaurant. The clear soup is a tad salty but not overwhelming and but the respective meats are tender and substantial. The yum cha isn't anything to write home about but it does the trick when you've got that hankering for some solid trolley fare. Overall the food is filling and relatively inexpensive. Couple that with fast service and polite cashiers led me to give it a very strong 3 stars.
