" Dinner at Ark was a bit mixed for me. The lamb with cumin was beautifully spiced but the noodles I tried were a bit underwhelming, lacking the chewy texture I had hoped for. The environment was cozy but the cleanliness could be improved. Despite that, the service was welcoming and the prices were fair. I think I might give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ark was fantastic! The pork dumplings were some of the best I've had and the service was quite attentive. The place was a bit small and crowded, but the food made up for it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Chinese food that feels like home-cooked meals. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delight to discover Ark! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff was efficient, and our food came out quickly. I had the garlic noodles, which were spot on, while my partner enjoyed the shrimp fried rice. The prices are reasonable for the quality offered. Will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ark Chinese Restaurant offers a casual dining experience that you don’t want to miss. The garlic noodles were surprisingly vibrant in flavor, and their sweet and spicy chicken wings were satisfying. One aspect I appreciated was the portion size—big enough to share. Service was decent amidst the crowd, but I'd love to see more attention during peak times. Overall, I would recommend for value. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ark is the best spot for anyone craving authentic Chinese food. I brought my family here for dinner recently and everyone left with happy faces. The dumplings were so juicy, and we all loved the bowl of hot and sour noodle soup! The service was friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. Can't wait to return! Highly recommended!

" Good ambiance for dining with friends! The hand-pulled noodles are legendary, and their spicy garlic wings are a must-try. I do wish the restaurant was a little cleaner, though. Additionally, the portions for such a casual spot were quite generous. Definitely a place I’ll revisit for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" For someone who enjoys authentic Chinese cuisine, Ark is a treasure. The hand-pulled noodles bring a taste of nostalgia. I've tried numerous dishes on their menu, and I still haven't been disappointed! The service is always warm, and the dishes arrive promptly. A fantastic place to indulge with friends or family anytime. Don’t miss their garlic noodles! " (*Curated Review*)
