Food: Fiery dumplings, bland soups

101 Noodle Express turns out a memorable Fried Shrimp and Pork Dumplings dish and a decent Beef Roll, but overall the food is a hit-or-miss affair. The Pork Xiaolongbao definitely pleases, but tasting neutrality pervades too many dishes. The restaurant seems to constantly wrestle with inconsistency in the freshness of its food, and although the portions and value are commendable, this wholly fails to hide the lack of creativity that leaves a bland taste in your mouth.

  • Great Value

    Outstanding value for money, great food quality, and inexpensive prices.

  • Okay Quality

    Quality varies; some dishes fresh and well-prepared, others lack freshness.

  • Not Creative

    Nothing notable; failed to leave a lasting impression on diners.

Vibe: Missed the vibe contest

A dull, upsetting chatter echoes in the restaurant, killing any prospects of a quiet date night. It's a pity to find the horrendously bright lighting and dingy decor combined with an overpriced and poor-quality selection of drinks, doing nothing to enhance the vibe or create a lively buzz.

  • Bad Buzz

    Restaurant lost charm, became too popular resulting in quality concerns.

Perks: Uninspiring perks, loud nuisances

Despite the convenient parking and somewhat manageable reservations, the service is glaringly indifferent and at times rude. While the outdoor seating is limited and unwelcoming, it's the deafening noise that really bushwhacks any joy out of dining here. A dearth of vegetarian options is the nail in the coffin for many. Overall, the restaurant fails to enhance the dining experience with its set of perks.

  • Easy To Park

    Ample parking generally available, convenient to access, often free.

  • Okay For Groups

    Mix of spacious seating for groups and smaller tables for intimate dining.

  • Bad Service

    Service often rushed, unfriendly, with indifference or rude attitudes noticed.
