Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour:Ā The sweet-and-sour sauce and pork were widely enjoyed, though some found the overall dish too sweet or the sauce overpowering.
- Ease of prep:Ā Most found this genuinely quick and easy to pull together, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Suggestions:Ā Some felt the dish needed more depth; adding fish sauce, tamarind, or fresh chilli can help, and one reviewer skipped the stock and cooked the pork in an air fryer with half the sauce. A few suggested swapping vermicelli for rice if you prefer a heartier base, and cutting the noodles into shorter lengths makes them easier to eat.
- Leftovers:Ā Several customers enjoyed this cold the next day for lunch, with kids even taking it to school ā it holds up well.
- Portions:Ā Most found the serving size satisfying, though a few felt more meat would have been welcome.
