Having gone to Woka Woka's vegetarian branch just under two years ago, I wasn't entirely surprised to see that they had closed down not too long after. The location wasn't ideal, given the new building at Market Square hasn't had the foot traffic you would expect, and the vegetarian only menu was a bit niche. Anyway, shortly after their closure, Woka Woka came up with a new venture, being their 360 fusion bistro, apparently related to another store, Akai Ushi at underwood, focusing on noodle dishes.
We were seated fairly quickly, but service was quite limited. Menus were provided and we had to work out on our own that ordering and paying was done via QR code. The menu was largely noodle based with high levels of customisation. Choices can be made for toppings, soups and noodles. Further to this, they also have a small selection of entrees and rice dishes as well.
Between the two of us, we had two noodle sets which came with drinks. There was only a choice between HK milk tea and lemon tea. Both were pre made and the sugar level was not able to be adjusted. We found both of them to be fairly sweet for our liking, but the strength of the tea was good.
We also had a serve of Taiwanese popcorn chicken to share. The portion was fairly generous and the chicken was moist and juicy but it also meant that the coating wasn't able to remain dry and crisp either. I probably wouldn't order this again if I went back.
It didn't take too long for our noodle dishes to come. The first one was our beef brisket with rice noodles. The bowl was large and had a generous amount of soup and noodles but not too much by way of beef or veggies. The texture of the noodles was quite tender but as rice noodles don't really over cook, it was enjoyable. The beef was fairly soft and well seasoned and the soup was deep and mellow.
Our other dish was the Japanese Ramen in King Soup with a side of wagyu cutlet. This was far less enjoyable as the noodles were so soft that it was borderline inedible. The soup was far too sweet for my tastes and the beef was also not too crunchy but also a bit chewy. I would definitely not recommend this dish.
Overall a fairly average to below average experience at Woka 360 Fusion. Unless nothing else was open nearby, or if drastic improvements are made, I wouldn't make the effort to go there again.
