★★★★★ Bestest & Freshest Soba!
I had a spiced tuna mayo cold noodle soup. So delicious, I’ll be back to try everything on the menu. Everyone working there is so genuinely friendly. I felt like I was in Japan. Highly recommend, I’m so glad that I’m local. –  B1r5go [ January 2024 ] Tripadvisor.

REVIEW

★★★★★ Amazing!
Finally went to try the new Hungry Wombat and man, did it impress! The curry udon was the best I’ve had – all made from scratch and the tempura is perfectly made. Also highly recommend the cold noodle. Staff were so lovely and they make everything by hand including the noodles. 10/10. [ Jul 2019 ] Tripadvisor.
