Our take: Refuel J9 presents itself as a neighbourhood cafe with a varied menu, though consistency appears to be a point of contention.
While some patrons praise dishes like the Mentaiko Salmon Mac & Cheese for its generous cheesiness and portion size, others find items like the Japanese curry omelette with salmon and chili crab pasta underwhelming.
The mentaiko cauliflower/broccoli receives particularly harsh criticism for its flavour profile.
We note that the cafe's ambience is generally well-received, with mentions of a quiet and pleasant setting, especially during weekday lunch.
However, service experiences can be mixed, with one account detailing a poorly handled seating situation that led to a negative dining experience.
Coffee and certain salads, like the chicken sesame salad, are highlighted as strong points.
We'd recommend focusing on the Mac & Cheese or the salads, and perhaps visiting during off-peak hours for a more relaxed experience.
Verdict: A decent option for a casual weekday lunch, particularly if you stick to the well-regarded Mac & Cheese or salads.
Be prepared for potential inconsistencies in other menu items and service.
