Cafe Select - Victoria

The people, service, and food at this restaurant are all excellent. It is a truly hidden gem in Victoria.

Unassuming little cafe, friendly staff. I ordered the ramen for lunch, and it was really good. Very fresh tasting vegetables, tender beef cuts, rich shiro stock flavour (couldn't tell if it was pork or beef, but it was delicious nonetheless). The noodles were springy and made in-house with care, and very tasty. A sensibly sized portion with the right amount of stock to solid ingredients; I ate it all happily.

I have enjoyed everything I have tried at this restaurant! The staff is extremely friendly. I went in to get a cookie (which was amazing) and noticed a sticky bun on a plate. When I inquired about it, I was told they don't sell them, but the kitchen had made them for the staff member's birthday. She generously gave me one for free! Thank you!!

I live close to this restaurant, so I visit frequently. I often order the jambalaya or chicken stir-fry, both of which are delicious and served quickly. The option to dine in and enjoy some lovely music or take out is available. It's a great family-owned restaurant. I highly recommend it!

Don't be fooled by the exterior. Looks like a generic coffee shop but it's a Japanese noodle restaurant--family run. I've been back four times for the beef teriyaki. Home made noodles. Very flavourful. Friendly staff. Take-out option.
