Thanks so much for having us, we are keen to comeback! The food was incredible and the quiz was so much fun. Thank you to the staff, they were all very lovely. We appreciate for making our night so great :)
Great service, Linkon was lovely and very attentive to our table. The good was delicious and the atmosphere was lively and fun. Great Sup Sip season. The cocktails were delicious too. Well worth it as a catch up with friends.
We had the most lovely experience at bottomless Yumcha. All the staff we interacted with made us feel comfortable and were all very helpful and attentive. We were served by Linkon and Ravneet, both wonderful people and were constantly checking in on us. The kitchen staff were extremely efficient and the head chef is a nice man. The food was absolutely delicious, our favourites were the prawn gyouza, bbq pork buns, edamame, and the pork and chive pot stickers, but all the dishes were so yummy. The pork buns were so delicous that I didnt get to take a photo because I kept eating them immidiately! Thank you for making the night special, the food, ambiance, and staff made the experience a 10/10. I will definately be back for more Yumcha, or a nice dinner.
Our server Bruce was fantastic. The menu was great except the gem lettuce. Not a favourite with our table but we loved the Birria taco and other courses. It was very loud which is the only negative. Sip Sip Sessions are always great for a friends catch up.
Overall great Bottomless Pasta experience, with exceptional service from Linkon (our server), besides a couple pastas being slightly dry 🍝 Booking a table is highly recommended ✅️ Upon arrival at Market Grounds, the indoor area was empty (the outdoor alfresco area was almost full), so it was a nice and quiet dining experience 🔈 Linkon lead us to our table and lit up a candle wedged on top of a wine bottle, which was decor for the night🕯 He enquired about our dietary requirements and proactively provided us with two water bottles. Throughout the night, Linkon checked in on us and asked if we needed anything. The Bottomless Pasta Night is advertised as $35 per person, but for two people we paid $75 + $0.85 surcharge 💳 (Total Paid for 2 People: $70.85.) Rigatoni Bolognese 🍝: My favourite. The rigatoni pasta was slightly dry but when mixed with the sauce (which had minced meat and tomato), it was really tasty. Rigatoni pasta could have been cooked longer to be softer. Basil Pesto Gnocchi 🥔: The potato gnocchi filling was soft and each gnocchi was a generous size. Basil pesto was smooth and had a good flavour. Blistered tomatoes tasted sweet with a slight crunch 🍅 Pine nuts were not too hard 🥜 Truffle Mushroom Fettuccine 🍄: The most flawed pasta. Sourdough was a little hard to cut into but was chewable 🥖 Sage gave the pasta an interesting overall taste 🌿 Fettuccine was slightly dry; its sauce was likely soaked up by the bread and could have been more saucy 🍝 Sauce was good 🍄 Rocket salad was a bit floppy (possibly not as fresh?) 🌱 The portions of the three pastas were so filling that we had leftovers and didn't order any more pasta nor sides. After our meals, Linkon told us we could have more pasta, but we declined and asked for our leftovers to be taken away. He provided us with 3 takeaway containers for the pastas that we did not finish, which I think was very generous ⬅️ Overall, I enjoyed the experience and my above notes may make it better 👍 Thank you Linkon for your awesome service 😁 Visit Date: Wednesday 5 November, 5:30pm
