Gin Long Canteen

Staff were extremely helpful in tailoring the set menu to accommodate our dietary requirements (pregnant and gluten-free) - more care taken than I have experienced at many venues. Thank you!

Menu has great variety and choice. Lots of gluten free options too. Lunch menu is fantastic value. Service was excellent. Staff are friendly, quick and attentive. Order to serve time was very quick. Granted it wasn't too busy when I went at lunchtime on a weekday. Ambiance & seating options are quirky and unique. There are tables for groups and also seating at the bar if you're alone. Nice casual dine in atmosphere but would certainly also cater to dinner dates/group dinners. The kitchen is visible to patrons and is interesting and authentic to hear the sounds of food being made as well as see the chefs in action. I had the dry noodles lunch special. The soup was luke warm which I would have preferred hot. Both the noodles and soup were a bit on the salty side. The noodle bowl was light and fresh and had a number of quality ingredients in it such as quail eggs, prawns, pork, etc. Serving size was neither small nor large, probably average. The lunch specials are excellent value at only around $12 for a quality meal. Not sure about the main dining options as they are definitely more expensive. UPDATE: Ive now had the dry noodles twice, second time had less meat and the soup was still luke warm. Sometimes the noodles clump together and are hard to seperate. Delicious and excellent nonetheless. Also have tried the sour and spicy pho, which I was very impressed with, it was a great twist on a classic dish and definitely would recommend it. Will be back for this one on a cold day! I do observe that sometimes at lunch, they could use with more wait staff.
