Our take: Danlao at Nanyang Polytechnic seems to be a popular spot, especially among students, but it comes with significant caveats.
While some appreciate the food quality and reasonable pricing, particularly for a campus outlet, the overwhelming feedback points to extremely long wait times.
Customers report waiting close to an hour for orders, far exceeding estimated times.
There are also concerns about ingredient availability, with items frequently out of stock during lunch.
One reviewer noted a single tempura prawn for an additional $4.24, which suggests inconsistent value for add-ons.
We'd recommend this only if you have ample time to spare and are prepared for potential disappointment regarding wait times and stock.
Skip the peak-hour rush; the lunch crowd seems to overwhelm their operations.

Happy to see this famous store here in NYP. Although the store is really popular and the wait can be very long during peak hours, the food is really good and the price is reasonable especially among t…
Ordered luncheon egg rice bowl, with extra prawn and egg. The add-on prawn was costed +$4.24, but all I get is one piece tempura style shrimp.
Absolutely absurd waiting time. Receipt stated estimated waiting time of 19 minutes but only received order close to an hour later. Will not be eating here again.
Ridiculous waiting time! Waited more than 50 minutes for my order. Everything is out of stock during lunch time. Please make sense!
Long waiting time for the food. The chili is so hard and dry like a rock solid.
