LAODAO

Laodao is your classic safe-bet café that serves up a decent mix of Asian-inspired dishes. The dumplings are a crowd-pleaser, and if you’re lucky, you might get a nod from the friendly staff as they hustle through the lunchtime rush. Sometimes the vibe can feel a bit too much like a canteen, but hey, at least you won't walk out with a side of food poisoning.

The service is generally solid, but don’t expect Michelin star treatment. The prices are definitely on the affordable side, making it a great spot for a casual bite. If you’re in the area, it’s a reliable choice, but don’t go expecting fireworks. Just some good food and a clean table – a rare find these days. 🥟
