Food: Tumbled creativity on plates

However, the culinary renditions at Harlam’s Kitchen are not completely lost in despair; the Wonton Noodle Soup and the Chinese Donut Wrapped in Rice Noodle has been known to comfort palates. The robust flavor of the soup coupled with the richness of the broth is notable, while the freshness of the donut in the rice noodle, made daily, and its perfect pairing with sweet soy sauce mildly compensates for the otherwise bland culinary scenery.

  • Great Value

    Affordable prices with large portions, providing excellent value for money.

  • Okay Taste

    Food court offers a mix of tasty and disappointing meals with MSG.

  • Low Variety

    Food quality is inconsistent, resulting in a 'hit or miss' experience.

Vibe: Frustratingly underwhelming ambiance

Harlam's Kitchen, ticks off all the boxes on how to make an ambiance distastefully unappealing: the grimy undergroomed furniture, to the worn-out vendors busily cooking away without a care, to the food court ambience that quite successfully dispels the romantic environment, thereby marking a solid 'NO' to your planned date night.

  • No Buzz

    Lacks ambiance, causing stress and undermining trendiness.

Perks: Poor parking yet amiable service

Speaking of things one wouldn't want to do on a date night, let’s not leave out the challenging process of parking. However, this pitiable circumstance is rather amicably counterbalanced by their fast and friendly service. Interestingly, the speed and friendliness of their staff have been constant positives, offering a small yet critical ray of light in the otherwise dim environment.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed reviews on service, balancing speed and efficiency with rudeness.

  • Bad for Groups

    Place often crowded, which may impact group dining experience.
