Tina's Noodle Kitchen - Melbourne

Delicious noodles with huge portion and plenty of ingredients. Love the tomato soup meatball noodles. Good place to eat if you are in the city and crave for hot soupy noodles.

I tried the mushroom noodle soup and it was so good. The staff was very friendly too. They had two vegan options (mushroom and vegetable). The potion is so big. It took around an hour to finish it. Probably three people can have two of them. It was crowded, which means people love it. Totally recommended.

This place serves an authentic sichuan dish, in a good portion, well too big for one (for me) in a decent price. We place our order, pay at the cashier, then the food will ber served soon. I must say it would be a struggle for locals to eat this delicious dish due to its authenticity. I ordered pork trotter and chicken soup with a white noodle. I dont think there is yellow noodle but I might be wrong. The chicken soup however was really tasty and herby. During lunch time, there will be a long line of waiting. So, be there earlier if you're really hungry. Fortunately, the serving speed was quick.

The waiters were very rude and disrespectful. When I and my friend came in, the waiter stopped us and pointed upstair, she was rude and said it in a very unwelcome attitude. they didnt even say sorry or give us any explanation when they moved us. They were racist as I saw the difference when they treated other white people.

Tina's, this restaurant is very famous among the Melbourne foodies and at least 3 out of 5 of my Asian friends been to this place. Tina's serves Sichuan cuisine that means a lot of intense flavors, spiciness, use of garlic and Sichuan pepper. I hate spicy food, but, my friends insisted on trying, and here we are. The only reason I agreed to enter this place because it serves noodles. My friends and I ordered three noodles dishes; Tender Beef and Tomato, Deep fried pork with pickles, oxtail, and tomato. For me the preference in this list goes like; tender beef deep fried port oxtail so obviously I had the tender beef and tomato noodles. First things first, the bowl will be super hot and be cautious around it. I was impressed by the quantity of the food, but then I felt like its just soup. I mean, it was watery. The beef tasted really good, the noodles were ordinary, and the soup was thin, and the tomato taste got monotonous after some time. I had to have some soup from my friends to change the flavor. The service was ok, and the patrons do most of the part, especially, you have to write down your order, and the waiter will collect it. I didn't find the noodle bowl to be a value for money deal at all. For $15 $16 I could get a decent hotpot bowl from the Dragon Hotpot nearby which is even more flavorsome. As I said, this restaurant is trendy among the Asian crowd, and I don't understand why there is too much hype around a place which sells average tasting noodle bowl. Many of my friends asked me to revisit, and I always avoided it. Sorry guys maybe you should consider putting your price little lower and revising the menu.
