The staff was rude, and the restaurant seemed understaffed. The female staff was constantly serving customers who wanted to purchase the buns (Bao). She took two orders in front of me (Ban Mian) and then my order, but continued to shout, "Who else needs Bao?" Then, halfway through cooking the noodles, she went to serve the customers buying the Baos. My noodles ended up extremely soggy and gross. There was barely any meat in my noodles. What an expensive, awful experience.
Note this was a takeaway order, and I live less than a 10-minute drive from home. I will not buy from this outlet again.
The Plaza Singapura outlet is still the best.

"Only a third of the bowl for chili pan mee, and no egg yolk was given? The food quality in this store is abysmal."

Poor attitude.
I ordered via GrabFood for takeout.
They either gave me noodles without the extra noodles I paid for.
The server was unhappy when I double-checked the order. The customer before me also double-checked, and the server was unhappy with her too. You can review the CCTV footage to see her reaction when the other lady and I double-checked our orders, due to previous poor experiences.
I didn't feel like ordering more because of the server's attitude.
I really won't be a customer again.

"I had their Mee Hoon Kueh 面粉粿 today. I was quite disappointed with the portion size and the doneness of the noodles. They were undercooked inside and didn't taste "al dente," if that was the intention.
Nonetheless, I'm still happy we have a go-to place for buns, dim sum, and Hong Kong delicacies here in Canberra Plaza. The food quality has plenty of room for improvement."

"This isn't the usual selection of items you find elsewhere. It's the only Nam Kee Pau I know of that has ccf, shui kueh, and the like. However, they were all disappointing. While I understand the desire for innovation and expanding their menu, they seemed to have forgotten to focus on quality. I wouldn't recommend trying their other, non-dim sum items."

Based on the first and second pictures, you can see why I'm giving this a 1-star rating.

"During non-peak hours, with literally only me as a customer, they still gave me the wrong order? I asked for mee hoon kueh, and I don't like ban mian. It was too far (and hot) for me to walk back and exchange it. The noodles were also soggy, even though they were served separately. The standard has dropped."

I usually don’t leave reviews, but I am appalled that they cheated my husband out of $2.30 by selling him the wrong product. My husband is a vegetarian, and he asked for red bean pau. He asked 2-3 times, but the aunty working on 10/5/24 at 7 pm said it was red bean pau and sold it to him. He came home to realize it wasn't red bean pau. I don’t understand why they would do this. It’s very far for us to go back and ask them about it as well. Please. No wonder you have low reviews.

The auntie was very rude, and the male cook was holding the dough without washing his hands after using his phone. This was pretty disgusting.

"Very poor attitude.
I ordered via GrabFood and took the food away (dabao).
They either gave me noodles without the extra noodles I paid for, or added the extra noodles at an additional cost.
The server was not happy when I double-checked the order. The previous customer also double-checked, and she was unhappy. You can review the CCTV footage to see how she reacted when the other lady and I double-confirmed our order due to past poor experiences.
I didn't want to order more because of the server's attitude.
I really will not patronize this place again."
