"Unique mainland China restaurant where they hand make the noodles and dumplings. The flavour is pretty cool and I enjoy coming here for it. Owners can be arrogant which really taints the whole experience."

"St. Wonton is a small restaurant situated in Pacific Centre. The newly opened establishment specializes in southern Chinese style wonton soup and cold braised meats. We were there for weekday lunch and ordered pork wonton soups ($12), braise peanut ($1) and shredded braised pig ears ($3) to share.<br>
<br>
The appetisers arrived within 5min presented in small plate servings. The peanuts were soft, mushy and seasoned well. The shredded pig ears were flavourful with an appetising crunch with each bite. The only criticism is the overly salty broth utilized for braising. 3.5/5<br>
<br>
The wonton soups was up next with 12pc pork wontons in a lightly seafood seasoned broth. The small wontons were made to order with fresh pork mince seasoned with salt, pepper, dark sauces & spring onion. The wontons are chewy with mild porky flavours. Broth wise is on the thin and watery side with a few fried tiny shrimp. 3.5/5<br>
<br>
Overall service was average at best. The lady behind the counter was not that friendly and lacked customer service experience. Everything else is self-service.<br>
<br>
Hint: Traditionally, wontons in the Fu Jian province are made chewy deliberately. It's a painstaking process where hunks of meat are beaten by metal bats until minced thus the chewy texture. It's great St. Wonton honors this tradition and make their fillings in a similar way. Give the wonton in chicken soup a go. If you’re feeling adventurous, traditional salty soy milk soup is an interesting alternative ;-)"

"I have been here before and it was great. Not sure if this time there was a different chef, but the food was bland and, quite frankly, boring. We had bulgolgi and there was no spice in the Kimchi. I think if they see non Asians order, they feel the need to make the flavour mild. I love spice and Korean food but this time I was very disappointed. I am not sure if I will be back even though it is a short walk from my house."

"Going passed Robertson Village, already one place that has a few hidden eateries to find, this one is even further in from the QE2 hospital, and a few signs point the way. Farah has a few makings akin to an oasis. There is some potential here, which with some attention to detail they could work on to make something that would attract and wow more clientele. At the moment, this will remain hidden away for a while longer until there is initiative for more returns. <br>
<br>
It had been a while since I had managed to meet up with one of the many Zomato members I had been meaning to have a meal with. A couple of them I have their contact on me, so with that I was off messaging and organising a meal somewhere. With a couple of particular users in mind, I went through and looked for some places (with requests to keep it in Sunnybank) where neither had made a review. Most of the mid-section in the story is irrelevant, since ultimately the arrangements for the meal here ended up being with the one whom I had direct contact with - none other than Mr. Invisible for another meal. That was with his wife (plus baby in tow) and my house mate/dining buddy. Calling into the restaurant one night, I organised for the following lunch to be a table for four with a highchair. And so it was time for another one of these cross-overs I am always looking forward to. <br>
<br>
Both my dining buddy and I got here a fair bit early, and having a look around the dining area this does have potential. The place is hidden, and it is at the atrium level of the apartment complex. The area is spacious and is doing well enough with some decorations to make it look like it is a restaurant or eatery. The al freso eating is on the deck, and it is right beside the pool. It is a good looking pool that is probably good to swim in, but that is another factor entirely. Be prepared for some quirky decorations including Australian animals on the pool deck, and in the entrance some Buddhas and genie lamps. Whatever the case, you can't fault the decor too much - it is distinctive. However, in saying that small nooks and crannies need work. For a high chair, one that was nearby was not adequate for the baby because of the mold on it. Having it available out there is not good if it does not look suitable or clean for use. <br>
<br>
Now it's on to the service. Oooooh boy! Do we have something to talk about here. At times, there was a couple of remarkable examples of service here. One of them was how one man managed to collect what must have been a dozen different kinds of bowls and plates, then manage to pile them up and carry them away like it was just another day at the office. This one sweep essentially cleared the table. That was good. The following example was another guy who immediately flew in to get the dessert orders underway, plus had the right ideas in mind - be friendly with the patrons, get the menu if needed, and be efficient. <br>
<br>
Now that does sound good, so what is being implied that is so bad? At the beginning of the meal, and before the food arrived, it all appeared to be a malaise. The young lady being the waitress was a surly young one, and seemed to want to be elsewhere. It was difficult to get her attention, and even then she could barely interact. Nothing about it was outright offensive or anything, however I keep on harping on about the small things - a couple of examples off the bat are getting people water when they sit down, and checking on people part-way through the meal if they are enjoying it - that really add up in the long term. When there are so many places doing that, the absence of having those there becomes noticeable. Heck, another good and simple way to service is not to have drinks (particularly cold, bottled drinks) come with the meal, but maybe soon after ordering - efficiency, and discipline. It doesn't have to be ritzy, the service, but so many simple and free touches will make a whole lot of difference. <br>
<br>
So let's get onto the food now. Most of the items here are kebabs, and charcoaled meats. The majority of the meats are either chicken or lamb, with some beef thrown in there. Also with them are a few specialty items which either need ordering in advance, or can be on certain days of the week. They also have some burgers and a few stews. When it comes to drinks, they is quite the mixture - you have teas, coffee (the Turkish kind), smoothies and juices, plus all the usual cold drinks of soda et al along with the Emiri malt beverage "Barbican". Sweets are quite plentiful as well for dessert at the end. You have pastries, ice cream, and other specialty items from the Middle East. If it is of interest, and the only place to mention it, a hookah can be rented out as well. <br>
<br>
I have had some previous experience with Persian cooking, both in going out to eat it and even cooking it at home. My dining buddy/house mate has been in tow with that, and overall it is recommended due to how distinctive it is. Mr. Invisible hadn't really tried it, so like any wise soul when trying out a new cuisine he went to one effective option - get a sample platter for the best of all worlds. That was a selection of all the kinds of kebabed meats, with salad and rice. My dining buddy ordered the joojeh kebab, which is saffron-marinated chicken and it came with tomato and rice. Instead though, he substituted the rice for some fries and Mr. Invisible with his wife got some fries as well. <br>
<br>
And the food was all, merely passable. It is nothing super special here, though each piece of meat was very tender - some had good infused flavour, and all were cooked to an extent where the meat was like butter. On the side, the salad was kind of stock standard, and the rice they made was pretty good. With the lamb shanks that I had, the meat fell off the bone easily, and it was tender and everything. What it could have benefited from was some kind of infusion, or having the sauce dripping on it. There was not much wrong with it, but it needed a bit more flair to really amaze me. I will give a lot of credit to the presentation of it all. <br>
<br>
What was unforgivable with serving the food here, however, was the fries. These were crinkle cut, and obviously ones gotten in mass quantities from the supermarket. These aren't hard to make, and having such an obvious short-cut is a definite "no" if a restaurant wants to be professional. <br>
<br>
Plus, I would recommend trying to seek out Barbican. It is usually flavoured, and I had one that was pineapple. It was fairly sweet, had a big lot of bubbles, and on behalf of my dining buddy, this is not much like beer at all. <br>
<br>
After that, it was time for some sweets and coffee. As if I couldn't go passed trying out the Arabic coffee again. On the side, I got the Iranian dessert "faloodeh". This is where they get vermicelli noodles mixed with a cornstarch syrup that has both sugar and rose water in it. Consider a mixture between an iced drink from the convenience stores and a snow cone, and that is what is like. This was pretty nice and refreshing, plus very cold. <br>
<br>
And then there was the coffee which was... adequate. It had a bit of strength to it, and the flavour was good, but it lacked the intensity that I look forward to with a good Arabic coffee. Usually there is an additional flavour of cardamon or something in it as well. There will be credit given for how the coffee was presented, and they did try. It was not too bad. <br>
<br>
To say the least, this place disappointed in a number of regards. The general consensus was not encouraging from the party members, and it does have some work to do if it really wants to become an attraction of the area. It has the location, the hidden vibe going for it, and the food was competently prepared. However, with not flair missing in the presentation of the place along with not having food really be good or memorable, and training about how to do good customer service is needed stat. <br>
<br>
TL;DR: It is time to say the controversial opinion out loud here, this place is no where near as good as what it is being made out to be right here. Farah is far from the most disappointing place that I have dined at, even recently, but there are a number of aspects about it that need to have work done if it really wants to be the up-and-coming hub. I went in wanting to like it, though the others were definitely more harsh on it than I was. That is not to say that it definitely needs to take some initiatives to improve their overall quality. <br>
<br>
Credit will be given to the location of the place, something about it was definitely characteristic and it has good enough facilities for families. Some effort might need to be taken to clean the different parts of it so it looks more presentable as a restaurant. Additionally, some of the service absolutely needs to be improved. One or two spots were good and impressive, but those tended to be at the end - near the start, it is all over the place and the young lady could benefit from a bit of customer service training. <br>
<br>
As much as I tout Persian cuisine, I won't act like I am an expert on it. What they have here was possibly closer to street food, and the majority of it was good if a bit samey among the dishes. More variety would spice it up, and in areas such as getting a chipper for the fries, it could improve immensely. Though the best aspect of the meal might have been the sweets, where I don't give any complaints. <br>
<br>
If trying a new cuisine is the go, this might pass though there are better choices. Ultimately, it is not anything really memorable."

"Ambiance (A) Visible from the main road across Oasis Shopping Centre, this shop brings out a home-like vibe. With wooden interiors and deco, it felt like authentic Food (F) Two dishes I managed to try was 8 Beef Bone Soup and #17 Spicy Pork Combination. Of which came with yellow wasabi sauce, kimchi and pickled radish Beef soup tasted delicious, finished it whole. Pork combination soup was good too, but be aware as the dish may offer some offals *But if l you're into that, then you should try the blood sausage. Seems like a popular dish amongst the locals Service (S) Waitress was fast on setting up tha table with cutleries and water. However, just a little slow on handing us...read more"
