Service is good, space is clean, food -- nothing fantastic, edible, affordable. Came in a rush and needed a quick bite. I wouldn't order their pastas again but that's just me being picky with my noodles 🤷🏻♀️
How it can be improved -- quality I think. Right now it's a sloppy mix, neither here nor there. The pasta recipes can be reviewed.

Decent food, generous portion and affordable price. My go-to pasta place when I’m feeling very hungry - portion is very generous especially if you opt for the sides at additional $3.50.
Ordered the aglio olio - average taste, spicy and saucy, but could have been more flavourful. Beef tomato pasta was alright as well - generous portion but beef was abit tough. For the drinks - good that we can choose the sugar level - will try zero sugar in future as less sweet was still rather sweet for me. Eatery was quite small and tables placed very close to each other.

Beef tomato pasta - tough Beef slices. Tomato sauce tastes like ready made sauce sold in supermarkets.
Mala chicken pasta - can't tell is mala. Double checked with staff to confirm it's mala. Mild mala taste. Not shiosk but not bad, salty.
Mushrooms truffle cream pasta - decent.
Side of mushroom soup - I would call it salty milk with a generous portion of chopped mushrooms. That's what it tastes like.
The 3 drinks we ordered were nice though. The staff who served us is a nice lady. Asked for feedback. But reading through the reviews here seems like the beef tomato pasta is a long standing issue.

I am a regular of Zoey’s Diner since the pandemic time 2020. Love their burgers and old drinks menu (especially their classic afternoon tea) which they have completely changed. I always order their pasta for supper and today was a horror. Mushroom pesto and chicken aglio olio. Look at the amount of oil! It’s horrific the pasta is soaked with oil. The chicken in the pasta used to be fried too. But today it’s grilled and tasted really bad. I am not sure if I will still eat with them again.
If their management is reading this, I hope they know that their food and drinks used to be so much better.

Food here are average, nothing special. But they serve food very fast and efficient. Even have promotion with free drink with every main course ordered. Not sure if the promotion is an ongoing offer. With the promotion, you can have affordable and fast meal within SDG20/pax.

The chicken burger ($7.90) was pretty meh. The marinate was nothing to shout at, I could only taste salt and pepper. The chicken was slightly dry, and bland in the middle. The brioche bun was fluffy and crumbly. The portion is just nice for me, but may be small for those with larger appetites. I'd rather spend that amount on a mcspicy.
The aglio olio is tasty and well seasoned, though a tad too oily and still didn't taste quite like aglio olio.
Their fries got skinnier and less fluffy, and just a touch less truffly.
We also got a Oolong Tea with Pudding and 50% sugar, that tasted nothing like oolong and oddly like 18 chefs lemon tea. The classic afternoon milk tea with 25% sugar was surprisingly still really sweet and had a strong floral scent. I quite enjoyed their green milk tea with pudding, 25% sugar.

Had late lunch here and although they were super busy, the staff took time to explain the menu to us and assisted us promptly when needed. The food was really good and value for money too. The truffle salmon and mushroom pasta came with salad, soup and a free drink too. The pesto chicken also came with a drink. Both pastas were amazing and we’ll def be back again!

pastas were cooked perfectly, seasonings were on point. for the aglio olio, it can be a tad too mindlessly spicy, and frozen prawns were used so not that worth at the price point. the beef slices were thick and cooked through, so some pieces were tender while others were tough.
fries stayed crispy throughout our dinning, the truffle mayo packed quite a strong punch initially, but as you eat other saltier stuff the flavour can get a little drowned out after a while.
nonetheless a pleasant experience.

Nice place to have quick meal in compass one. Tried this place for the first time & no regrets. Tried their chicken burger, truffle fries & lemon green tea. Everything was good, though i feel the chicken patty can be improved a little, may be they can add more flavour to it. Will visit this place again to try their pastas & other drinks. Staff/service was just great & place is well maintained.

I used to eat here rarely because my husband finds the food not filling enough. But the portion is just nice for me and my daughter loves the salmon cream pasta here, even though the pasta is sometimes slightly overcooked. The pastas here generally are good, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

It was totally empty when I entered around 6pm. But once my orders arrived, the place started to crowd out.
Nice touch to have free tea of choice with every mains.
Ordered Chicken Aglio Olio, Beef Truffle Cream spaghetti, and Kimchi Grilled Burger
Aglio Olio lives up to its standard, spice and nice.
The beef department, however, can be a little more gentle to the bite. A tad on the very well done spectrum. Reminds me of dried meat (ba kwa)
Chicken burger gives generous chicken meat (not minced meat).
Overall, nice place for a quick dinner. If you see the place empty, jump in quick. It won't be for long.
Free tea includes: Hibiscus tea, Oolong Milk Tea and Jing Xuan Milk Tea.

Good portion. Ordered the truffe cream pasta with chicken and it came with a free drink(lychee oolong). Pretty good for the price point. Will definitely revisit if Im in the area.

Small and cozy diner given the location. Tried the chicken aglio olio, which was pretty decent and fairly priced. The buttermilk bao burger is a miss for me, as it was too doughy and sticks to the teeth, overall didn't go well with the fried chicken.
