Food Review: Lucky Chan's Laundry + Noodle Bar

Lucky Chan's is one of the hottest to-go restaurants in Perth City at the moment, with its main attraction being the aesthetics and ambiance of the restaurant replicating what appears outside to be a laundry place and inside a very cool Asian, street style hangout eatery. I had to wait for a bit to get a seat but it did not take that long. I highly suggest to request a seat at the rooftop where you get to have a glimpse of the sky and a bit of the city.

The menu options is kind of limited if you want to eat individual portions, with the main option just being ramen and you can add bits and bobs. If you want to share with a group of people or just share in general, then your options are more diversified. There's variations of filled steamed baos, deep fried stuff and other nibbles. My friend and I just got the ramen.

I chose the bbq salmon ramen bowl and added broccolini. The bowl came with a generous portion of noodles, bbq salmon, bean sprouts, seaweed, and steamed broccolini. The salmon tasted really nice, sweet and slightly smokey, and quite raw. Personally I would prefer the salmon to be well done if it is eaten with ramen and they aren't too generous with the amount they gave. The broth is a huge let down as it departs far from the rich, heavenly ramen broths I've come across in previous ramen dining experiences. It is thin, savoury and sour (?). It definitely could be more generous with the fillings and the broth needs some work.

While the food is a let down, the environment is electric and super cool. They create a really authentic asian street feel and the waitresses are sooooooo nice! The menu options for the drinks is pretty extensive and creative, for example they have bubble teas mixed with alcohol. My friend and I however did not try any drinks.

I definitely recommend people to check it out and experience eating at Lucky Chan's even though the food isn't exactly that satisfactory.
