Universal is always busy and there is always a line outside the restaurant.

Slow Roasted Pork Ribs ($34.90)

Slow roasted tender marinated pork ribs in homemade bbq sauce served with Universal's beer battered chips & Italian slaw.

This dish is so good ! It is so easy to remove the rib bone from the meat, with only knife and fork.

The pork ribs are well marinated and juicy, might be one of the best ribs I have eaten.

Chicken Parmigiana ($14) 

Handmade chicken breast schnitzel, with Napolitana sauce & Mozzarella cheese, served with Universal's beer battered chips & Italian slaw.

This humongous chicken parmigiana is so tempting ! We saw a lot of people ordering this and the size is so huge. We have no disappointment on this dish because it is so crispy outside and tender inside. 

The cheese matched perfectly with the chicken, like seriously ! 10 out of 10 for that price.

Calamari ($21.90)

Gently fried fresh calamari, served with homemade tartare sauce & Italian slaw.
