Lilac Cafe - Subiaco

The Teriyaki was perfect and tasted so good as well as the miso soup. It was such a nice punctuation to a busy day to be able to sit there is such a nice restaurant was lovely.

Bought a Groupon for this cafe and I was pleasantly surprised by the positives of this cafe. <br/ <br/ Firstly it's 2mins walk from the Subiaco train station which is super convenient for families. The decor itself was modern with an Asian twist. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice which was just average but my partner's Tom Yum was really nice with a very generous serving. <br/ <br/ Overall I enjoyed my lunch experience here but noticed that during peak lunch period, the Cafe was nearly empty. I was told it was due to a lack of parking in the area, which is a bit of a shame.

My partner and I love the food here, the restaurant is very clean and it is in a good location. Only thing is the service... not so good. Maybe some more options on the sushi train would also be nice but what they do have is very nice!

My partner and I actually enjoy Tao in Subiaco. We normally order the 'Crazy Crab Roll ' $21) and 'Ichiban Roll ' $21) and then a few dishes off the sushi train if we 're really hungry. We 've only ordered from the Japanese menu so I can 't review Tao altogether, but from my experiences at Tao with Japanese food, I 'm really satisfied with the quality not the best I 've had, but definitely not bad) also really pretty presentation) of their sushi and we love the seats that let us see the chefs making our food! The 'Ichiban Rolls ' has remained a favourite from their menu for a while and I would definitely recommend that people give this place a chance! At least with their sushi rolls anyway).

Friendly staff make up for the slightly above average food. You can 't ask for more from Tao 's because they seem to do almost any asian dish rather than specialise at some.<br/ <br/ I tried the Vietnamese range, my favourite Pho Tai, surprising better than expected. The broth was served with proper 'Pho ' fragrance though it was a bit sweeter than my liking . Having said that, I was more glad there was no hint of 'instant quick-fix flavours ' like some restaurants do. The noodles were a tad undercooked but passable.<br/ <br/ My wife ate from the sushi train. She had salmon/ tuna avacados rolls and crab balls which she seemed quite happy with. <br/ <br/ Not over the top but enough for me to come by for a quick bite again.<br/ <br/ <br/ <br/
