I understand that expectations for food at any airport should be managed accordingly but the Mongolian Beef dish I got here was one of the worst fast food style Chinese dishes I’ve ever had especially considering that I paid around $18 just for the entree. The rice was arguably the worst part of the dish. It tasted and felt like it had been left out for a day or so. You know it’s bad when the rice is room temperature and clumped together and dry. The Mongolian Beef had a decent ratio of veggies and meat but the sauce was odd. Definitely not the normal Mongolian Beef sauce and it just was not tasty. Looking around, it seemed like everyone else was not enjoying their food either.

Do not eat here unless you are planning to tip, she was so nice until I paid and she looked at the screen that I didn’t tip for take out! I ordered the Lo Mein Combo, steak, chicken and shrimp. I got 1 shrimp, smelly chicken and chewy steak the sauce was just water and soy sauce. The noodles were overcooked. It comes out to $1983. Almost $20 that went in the garbage Because that! I didn’t eat it.

I travel for work. I do meals all the time at the airport. This was not a good experience, unfortunately from the beginning of taking the order not friendly, not available. You can see by yourself. Left 7$ tips. How’s look a noodles Singapore, how is presented? It’s look like it’s a joke. The ingredients was in the bottom and the noodles dropped on the top. It was very dry . the box they served the noodles It’s very uncomfortable make dirty your arms when you try to eat. I do not raccomand it!

Guess I should have looked at the reviews before eating. Loads of rice but like 5 pieces of chicken. Crunchy bits in my soup, looked like egg? The only thing they have going for them is that there wasn’t a line. But I know why now 😆
