" The New Lun Ting Cafe is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Chinese comfort food. The atmosphere is simple yet warm—perfect for a cozy meal. I had the beef chow fun, which took me back to my days in Hong Kong. The flavors were spot on, and the portion sizes were generous. The owner even treated us to some fresh fruit after our meal! However, be prepared for a small wait during peak hours—it’s clearly a popular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited New Lun Ting Cafe recently, and while the service was warm, I didn't find the food particularly impressive. The chicken curry felt bland compared to more robust offerings on the menu. The prevailing sense of nostalgia from the older decor felt charming in some ways but somewhat dated. It's a quaint spot, definitely offering value for money, but I felt a little let down by my choice this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently stumbled upon New Lun Ting Cafe while exploring Chinatown and what a delightful hidden treasure it turned out to be! The roast pork over rice was superb, tender, and generously portioned. The complimentary dumpling was a nice touch too! Although the decor is quite simple and the dining area isn't large, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having frequented many restaurants in Chinatown, I must admit New Lun Ting Cafe surprised me positively. The mix of local flavors brought me back in time. I had the beef stew, and it was one of the best I’ve had—tender and full of flavor! The service was friendly, and we appreciated the complimentary pots of tea. However, the atmosphere felt a bit cluttered for my taste, but the food was definitely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The food didn't meet my expectations based on prior reviews. The roast pork was average, lacked flavor, and was somewhat dry. However, the complimentary soup and dumplings were decent. Service was satisfactory but not remarkable. I potentially might give it another visit based on recommendations, but will be cautious. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at New Lun Ting Cafe has a nostalgic feel reminiscent of meals at my grandmother's. The stir-fried beef was flavorful and just the right amount of seasoning, while the dumplings were delightful! The service was friendly—our server even offered fruit afterward. Just a note: it's cash-only, but worth it for the value. Overall, a fantastic experience for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at New Lun Ting Cafe was pleasant overall. Friendly service greeted us from the start, and the food was good, if not a bit ordinary for my taste. I enjoyed the wontons that came with the complimentary soup beforehand but felt the main dish could use more seasoning. The prices were reasonable, as they came with rice and a drink. I might give it another try with a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
