I've been to Cattle (every location) many times and I've never been disappointed.
The ambiance is just average and is typical for most Chinese cafe-style restaurants.
The service is pretty average as well. If you've been to one Chinese cafe, you know what I mean.
The value is pretty solid as you get free hot tea and the meals are around $8. The most popular choice at Cattle is the noodle bowl. For just under $8, you select your soup base, your noodle, two items (eg. tofu puffs, beef brisket, fish slices, etc.), and any premium side items at an extra charge (eg. fried chicken wings, pork cutlet, etc.). The meals and noodle bowl all come with a hot drink, or a special drink for another $2. The special drinks include bubbleteas, smoothies, and shakes, which are all fairly large.
The food is good, if not better than the average Chinese cafe. I've tried a few flavours of their milkshakes, and they have all been good. Their mini-meals and their baked meals are all pretty decent, and their noodles are great. I've tried a few different soup bases, and my favourite is the Tom Yum soup. It's a bit tarte and spicy, so be forewarned (as not everyone may be accustomed to that).
Summary (repeat of above)
Food: Good.
Service: Average.
Setting: Average. Almost every location is cramped and parking is average at best.
Value: Good. You get a big bowl of noodles or meal with a drink for under $10. If you spend another $2 you get a bubbletea.
