  • Don't come here for Thai food. You can mediocre Thai anywhere. Get the Malaysian dishes. Roti cani, beef rendang, chow kueh teow, nasi lemak are all great. But be prepared to wait. The service is slow and inattentive.

    There's a line everytime I go there. The food is great and it's decently priced. I don't think I've had anything that tasted bad in there. The food comes out pretty quickly too. Go give it a try.

  • When I was younger, my dad used to take here for my mom's birthday. The portions have gotten smaller, and their quality has been getting worse. It used to be great - it's still okay though. I usually just get the roti canai and call it a day - nothing more because it's really pricey and not all too great.

  • Portions are getting smaller, the manager has attitude and the food is now tasteless.



    Our unengaged waitress stared into space. When I asked for a fork, she said use the fork in the serving dish. The calamari was hot and flavorful, the onions and peppers with it were cold. The chicken satay and pad thai were both tasteless. 


    Mgr: "What's wrong with my food?" 


    Me: "It's tasteless."

    Mgr: "Do you want more salt?"

    Me: 

"No, just a check."
