City 1 Cafe offers a variety of local and international flavors, making it an ideal spot for different dining occasions. The restaurant provides a cozy and elegant atmosphere, along with attentive service. The menu features dishes that are prepared using traditional methods, resulting in authentic tastes.
Customers have praised the Hainanese chicken, describing it as poached to perfection, with flavorful rice and a tender, flavorful chicken that includes bones, which can make eating a bit harder. The chicken rice portion is very generous, and the chicken soup that comes with it is flavorful and comforting. The ginger–green onion sauce, chilli sauce, and fresh cilantro complement the dish well. The beef curry is also noted as being very tender and authentic in taste. Additionally, the salt and pepper tofu has been well-received. Some dishes, like the laksa soup, have received mixed reviews due to thin broth and overcooked noodles, and the roti was light, crispy, and freshly made, though the sauce was watery.
While there is room for improvement in some dishes, the overall atmosphere and service make City 1 Cafe a welcoming destination for those seeking a satisfying meal. The restaurant's old-store charm and delicious food contribute to a positive dining experience. The prices can be steep, as seen with a takeout whole Hainanese chicken with rice costing $50.
