" When I visited Marathon Cafe, I thought I’d experience pretty decent food. I wasn’t wrong! The milk tea certainly lives up to its reputation, while the food was well-made but had less spiciness than I'd like. They have a limited menu but the prices are affordable. I left satisfied and will come back for the milk tea alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I dropped by Marathon Cafe to try their drinks after reading all the good reviews. The HK milk tea didn’t disappoint; it’s genuinely rich and flavorful! I also loved their pineapple bun, which is a must-try. However, I wouldn’t recommend dining in since the place is too small and mostly designed for takeout. Overall, I believe it’s great for a quick stop for some good food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the Marathon Cafe for the first time last weekend. I ordered the HK style milk tea and a baked chicken chop on rice. The flavors were immersive, really bringing me back to Hong Kong. It's a shame the ambience was lacking because it truly is a takeout place. The employees were busy, but they tried their best to keep up; I could sense their dedication. Will be returning to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" After visiting Marathon Cafe several times now, I must say that the consistency of quality is impressive! I keep coming back for their marvellous milk tea and unique offerings like club sandwich steak bun. The place only caters to a small crowd, meaning it's best if you’re on the go and need a quick meal! It's perfect for those days when you just want something yummy on your way to work. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Marathon Cafe, and while the food tasted decent, I was hoping for a bit more authenticity in the dishes. The milk tea was indeed nice, but the service was a bit slow, and I noticed the staff seemed overwhelmed. If you’re in a rush, this might not be the best option. However, I could see potential if they improve their efficiency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I only went in for a quick drink and ended up trying their baked pork chop rice. It was delicious! The milk tea exceeded my expectations. The only drawback for me was the limited space, but I'm not fazed since I prefer takeout. I found the prices quite reasonable too, which is an added bonus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Marathon Cafe is a gem. The HK milk tea is the best around! I also had the club sandwich steak bun, and it was incredibly delicious. The service was friendly, although I had to wait for a bit for my food. They clearly have a loyal customer base and are always busy! I will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
