We had nice food and nice experience on that day
Great food, service is good. Restaurant is Suitable for big family
Great paranakan food that is lost now. Pity the place closed.
Come here for Authentic peranakan food. Enjoyed the chendol! Setting is very homely too. Location is very accessible now with the new downtown line. Worth a visit!
From 1st course of good to the last course took more than 1.25hours. Our curry fish was served to the wrong table. Food was tasteful though.
The reservation abd confirmation was promot. Most importantly the Food were delicious. However, the service was a slow. it's rightly recommended to try if you are looking for paranakan food.
Great food. Decent portion and well priced. Will surely visit again. Located at the hawker level of beauty world. Surely well situated and easy to find.
Very nice Peranakan food. For people who love the eating the Peranakan way, or people who wants to try authentic Peranakan food. The fish otah will leave you wanting for more.
The foods and service were generally good except they seem to have missed my order of the beef rendang. After checking with the staff, it take an additional 15 minutes before the dish was served while we have already finished all the other dishes that we have ordered.
Bad service. Staff are very slow. Main course took at least 20mins to come. Ordered dessert after the meal but waited 20minutes and decided to cancel the order
Firmly above average food quality and service from a family-style restaurant. However seem to remember food at previous visit had more robust flavour. This time the balance of food flavours and spice seems to be on the salty side. Otherwise pleasant experience nd location.
The food was great but the air was too stale with the cooking fumes. Hence your clothes and hair is full of food molecules when you leave the restaurant. Improve the ventilation.
The four of us agreed that all the dishes were authentic and tasty. However, a few things to note: - There were only 3 small keluaks in the serving (only one size for all dishes). Next time we'll ask if we can pay for extra. - Chapchye was a little sweet. - Otak-otak at $5.90 measured about 10cmx7cm and though palatable, tasted exactly like those sold frozen in supermarts. - The sotong and the petai dishes were superb but small. - The Hee Peow Soup was ok, made better by the sambal blachan. - The dishes came out one at a time so that made it a bit difficult to "regulate" the intake of rice. We said we would call and order ahead next time so we can have all the dishes on the table at the same time! Dishes were mostly reasonably priced and worth a visit!
Great beef rendang and babi pongteh. The assam fish head curry was passable. It's has a homely environment and can get a bit nosy at times.
Food is good but the environment in the restaurant can be better. The power went off 4 times while we were there. A pity about the ambience cause the food is definitely commendable!
Service was prompt and food did not take long to arrive on a weekday night. My family enjoyed its chicken with buah keloh very much!
Full marks for the food, which was stellar. We especially loved the beef rendang, assam fishhead and Ayam Buah Keluak. Service was patchy, probably due to the crowd. Then again, that's no excuse for a restaurant that's been around for ages and seen plenty busy days. My group of 6 were left standing awkwardly in the cramped restaurant for a good 3 minutes while the waiter rushed around looking for a table (we had made reservations days before) and offered no apology whatsoever. This is not a place to linger after a meal. It was noisy, chaotic and cramped, and we were constantly bumping chairs with the next table. We will return for the food, which impressed even the pickiest eaters in our group. But probably not during peak hours.
On the whole the food was average. Not exceptional. The traditional Peranakan dishes tasted sweeter than those I have had elsewhere. Service was a tad slow even though it was not crowded.
had the lunch set with buak keluak, and the set meal with assam fish. all the food tasted so good! I brought two friends along and we all came away satisfied with the meal!
Restaurant business was relatively slow. Only two service staff (including the cashier). Food was okay. Prices reasonable. Need all round improvement if it is to do better
The food was reasonably good, Some of the dishes were quite authentic. The service provided was also generally good. We enjoyed our food and would probably go there again. Will likely recommend the place to our friends.
very comforting dishes, simply tasty, but as all peranakan food goes, preparation is never simple. restaurant is cosy and fuss-free, tables are easily rearranged to fit parties of all sizes.
The Assam fish head is excellent, very appetizing, the Otah however was mushy and soft. Priced reasonably. Squid ink squid was deemed too dry, my friend was expecting to be inky, instead of stir fried.
Homey food, one of the few places to get Peranakan food in the West. The Ngoh Hiang was very good, buah keluak curry wasn't very spicy but was quite tasty. The keluak were creamy and flavourful though chicken was a bit on the dry side.
Food was good! However the restaurant suffered from a lack of service staff both in the kitchen (food was slow) and waiters were stressed. Also, there were 2 short circuits though the electricity was very quickly turned back on again. But the air-conditioners had switched themselves off and it took awhile before they reset them on.
Dependable. But the fried chicken used to be better. Full of breast meat now, and very small portion. I always like the sambal fried rice with prawns.
Nice ambience, not bad food. Easy to spot location. Great
On the positive side, the servings are very generous. Prices are reasonable. The food quality is average. Service is prompt. On the negative side - the service staff should be taught the proper way to clear the dishes. Specifically, scraping leftover food from dishes onto to other dishes at the table is a disgusting practice.
Great food, but different portion sizes can be offered as some plates are too small for sharing :/ service is quite pleasant even though it can get busy
Food was great. Especially loved Babi ponteh. Dessert was sub par though. Chendol was not up to standard compared to a previous visit. Too little gula melaka and coconut milk. Green stuff was much too mushy. Would visit again. Only for the food and will look for dessert options elsewhere.
