Everything was great! Food, service, ambiance, price, everything! Waiter is especially helpful, although just him and his manager serving the whole restaurant, he was fast and efficient! Well done!

The food was very tasty and well prepared and the portions were large, making our dinner a wholesome experience. The wine selection was unfortunately a bit short, not offering us many choices.

Taste of food was definitely good. Came here the 2nd time and brought my peranakan family to see if they like it. They also enjoyed the food! Only drawback is that the dishes barely have any gravy even for the opor chicken which was supposed to come with gravy. The chap chye would also be even better if it was slightly wetter instead of completely dry. Service was normal.

We enjoyed the food very much, the servers were very responsive, polite and helpful. However as it is at the hotel lobby and not enclosed, its a little noisy.... Having said that, the location is very convenient......

Food was ok—some hit & miss. Sambal buah keluak fried rice and bakwan kepeting soup were good. Beef cheek rendang was acceptable despite the high price. Sayur lodeh and ngoh hiang were ordinary, nothing to shout about. Babi bongkus was a disappointment. Dessert was also ordinary.

Hearty eats; full flavoured and authentic. No cocktails in their drinks menu but they checked with the bar and returned with a simple menu with classic ones like Moscow Mule.

Food was good, especially the buah keluak fried rice. But service was mediocre with the supervisor (tall man in suit) being rather rude when we first arrived.

Whatever happened to the buah keluak fried rice? It was so good before. Now it‘s rather mediocre and soggy (unless this was meant to be?) Also, the sambal sotong - not great and was charged the same amount as the fried rice ($28 if I’m not wrong) because it’s, lol, “market price”. Didn’t think the small portion (and the fact that it’s just squid) warranted that much for it.

Food is good, abit spicy but shiok overall! The air con in the restaurant is not cool enough though. The staff said that it’s a central system but I think it can be better worked on to have a more comfortable eating experience!

The staff is nice but the dishes were way too spicy and so were the drinks. As a result, we did not enjoy the experience as much as we wanted too. We suggest the restaurant to inform the guests prior to their ordering about the spicy dishes.

The food was pretty solid, everything but the shrimp sambal was tasty. But the service & ambiance were lacking any character or love. If we would have known it was in the lobby of the hotel we probably would have skipped this place. No above and beyond for our birthday meal, no happy birthday from the staff. It was a bust, but the three out of five dishes worked in our favor. We got the noodles of the day, veggie sambal with shrimp, chicken randang (skipable - pork belly and to definitely be missed - shrimp sambal). Not a recommended place for anything but a quick, delicious but expensive bite with no expectations.
