I’m a regular at NOC for casual lunches and appreciate their membership program, but a recent birthday-month visit highlighted some inconsistencies that left me frustrated.The birthday perk offers a $50 voucher to spend during your birth month—provided you’ve spent a minimum of $500 beforehand ($1 = 1 point). The terms require careful reading, as the voucher is issued after hitting the threshold. When I asked a staff member how to redeem it, he explained I needed to spend $500 in a single transaction first, then the $50 would be credited for future use. Fair enough, but when I asked how many points I still needed to reach $500, he claimed he didn’t know—despite having my profile open on his screen. A second staff member later contradicted him, saying I’d already met the requirement and could use the coupon on my next visit, regardless of spend. The conflicting information was confusing and avoidable. Better staff training on membership policies would go a long way.Seating is another weak point. Tables are packed tightly, leaving little personal space, and the mix of low and high tables feels inconsistent—neither option is particularly comfortable for a relaxed meal. On the plus side, NOC is pet-friendly, which is a nice touch for dog owners.Food-wise, it’s solidly average but healthy. I’ve heard complaints about the coffee, but I find it drinkable. My go-to beef salad bowl was decent this time, though I had ordered medium and it arrived well done—a small but noticeable miss. Portion and balance were fine, and I appreciate that they allow avocado swaps for cherry tomatoes in the salad (a lifesaver since I don’t eat avocado). However, this option isn’t available for other dishes. My partner ordered the all-day breakfast and couldn’t make the same substitution, which felt inconsistent.Verdict: NOC is convenient and decent for a quick bite, but unclear policies, cramped seating, and minor service hiccups hold it back. With sharper staff training and a few operational tweaks, it could be a much smoother experience. Oh and there are flies sometimes. …查看更多
所以多左去一啲有沙律食嘅餐咁啱屋企附近有一間Noc而家簡直變咗我嘅日常食堂其實同區都有好多coffee shop 但點解會特別鍾情佢呢？除咗佢個location好方便直接就喺黃竹坑商場地下正門第一間不得不讚佢食物真係有返咁上下質素都叫做對食物好腌尖嘅我近期都俾佢嘅高質沙律俘虜咗
真心愛上佢呢個salad bowl 價錢都唔係特別平都要$128-$138雞肉平d,牛肉貴啲基本上兩個口味我都會食因為入邊嘅材料真係好高質！例如有無花果、牛油果、南瓜仲有一隻整得好靚嘅流心蛋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻食開靚食材如我真心知道用料上乘正所謂一分錢一分貨貴都比得心甘命抵！至於咖啡就在水準之內總結係值得一去再去嘅！
