" We tried this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. The porridge was rich and comforting, a perfect fit for a chilly evening. We also sampled several other dishes which were beautifully presented and delicious. However, the service left a little to be desired as our server was a bit inattentive at times. I appreciated the ambiance though—it felt welcoming and warm, making it a great place to dine with family. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Porridge & Things while searching for something comforting. The food was delicious and authentically prepared. I loved their signature porridge which is huge—plenty to share among four people! The atmosphere felt welcoming and homey which was a huge plus. Service was a bit slow as they seemed understaffed, but I think the quality of food makes up for it. Looking forward to coming back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting this restaurant was an adventure in itself! The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. They serve an extensive range of porridge with creative toppings. The seafood selection was also top-notch! However, the wait time for food could be frustrating if you’re really hungry. The portion was very satisfying, though, and I left feeling full and happy. A great find for anyone craving authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my time at Porridge & Things, I can't say it was without flaws. The ambiance was lovely and very inviting, making us feel right at home. The seafood porridge was delicious, with generous portions, and the flavors were just right. Unfortunately, we encountered a server who appeared distracted and didn't seem to care much about our table. I would still recommend this place, but do keep in mind the need for patience with service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t often write reviews, but I felt compelled after experiencing this gem of a restaurant. The variety of porridge they offer is outstanding, yet the flavors remain authentic and rich. I particularly loved the seafood options which were extremely fresh. The portions were large and definitely great for sharing. I went on a weekend and it was busy—service was a little slow, but the food more than made up for it. If you enjoy authentic Chinese food, I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I wasn't expecting much at first, but Porridge & Things completely exceeded my expectations. The quality of the seafood in the porridge was outstanding! The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere which made our meal even better. The only downside was the fact that it took a while for our orders to be taken. " (*Curated Review*)
