We've tried their food at the Northpoint branch before, and as always, the quality remains consistent. The frontline staff, mostly seniors, are friendly and hardworking, which adds to the positive experience. We ordered the beef noodle soup; though the broth looked clear, it was packed with flavor from the fresh vegetables and rich beef stock. Overall, we really enjoyed the meal and will definitely return.

A friend brought me here for beef noodles, and I was puzzled to find white radish and carrots in them. I wondered what kind of strange combination that was. Later, after reading other reviews, I realized this is a Taiwanese-style restaurant. However, the scallion pancake still seems a bit like Northwestern style.
This restaurant has a Google rating of only 2.9, mainly due to its high prices. If diners only order beef noodles or pancakes, they shouldn't feel that way. Also, the taste is quite acceptable, though not as delicious as Lanzhou-style noodles. But as a canteen for regular visits, I think the seasoning is acceptable.
I read other reviews mentioning poor service and crowds. I went to eat after 9 pm and didn't encounter a crowded situation. It's just an eatable canteen.

Thumbs up for the food we had!
Hala Chinese cuisine, located right beside the escalator from B1 up to L1. It's a very chilled and laid-back area that you might miss if you don't look left before heading up to Level 1.
Let's dive in!
Food:
What could go wrong with meat? Nothing, especially when the broth is yummy-licious. I can't really explain it in words, but we can definitely say it's very yummy and best paired with something spicy.
Service:
The food was prepared very fast, under 5 minutes from ordering to ready. So yeah, we were glad we didn't have to wait long because we needed a quick meal.
Atmosphere:
Despite being in Tampines Mall, time kind of slowed down in this area. Try it and you'll understand. It's very comforting to know that there are still such places for us to unwind.
All in all, a great place to go to, especially if you haven't tried it yet. A definite recommended makan place!! We actually wanted more, but let's save it for other times la eh
Cheers!

Eating a bowl of beef noodle soup (no beef, so I have stomach space for the amazing gyoza) at this shop is like embodying a sickly Taiwanese child.
You wake up on a cold winter's morning, the sky a pale blue through your bedside window. Birds chirp outside, and Grandmother walks in, carrying a bowl of gentle beef soup, filled with handmade noodles, and a side of handmade gyoza.
Best beef noodles, tastes like home. Best gyoza too, 10/10.
Every time I come to Northpoint, I force anyone I come here with to eat at this shop. I always leave full of warm soup, then food coma for hours.
Just a note: there used to be aunties who could speak both English and Mandarin. However, most recently, a young Chinese man manning the cashier got our order wrong. I believe he only speaks Chinese, so be alert of your order and ask for it to be repeated. We were given beef noodles with beef, instead of no beef. I'd rate that a 2/5 considering the beef is the main star, but it is dry, has pockets of unrendered, unpleasant fat still remaining, and isn't particularly delicious. Not worth the hefty added $3 for the meat at all.

Surprising to see not many customers here on a Sunday. Anyway, we walked in easily and ordered our food. They don't serve pork as they are halal. We had the pancake with egg which was tasty, although not crispy. The chicken soup noodle was normal, the steamed dumplings tasted quite nice, and a bowl of bean curd with grass jelly didn't taste as great. Overall, the meal was normal.
