It was crowded so the service was slow , but the server took his tile to explain and help us choose even looking up pictures to show us. The food was good, the fried rice (nasi goreng bias) and the fried noodles (ayam kungfu kuey teow) Drinks are sweet as usual so we need to ask for less sugar

nice place to buy a “tie on the side” takeaway drink when you’re walking around kampung baru! there is also a fresh fruit smoothie stall in front. the dragonfruit pineapple mango smoothie is all fresh fruit and ice, no milk, and vegan safe.

Loved the food. The portion for tomyam campur was lavish. The taste was very great The server of this restaurant was friendly and professional. The waiting time for our meal was decent around 15 minutes for a full meal. Very recommended however the parking was a bit inconvenient for the car either you park at the paid spot or you can find it by your luck. Overall the service was great and the server was nice.

Despite doubting the restaurant due to the mixed 3-star reviews, my partner and I had a fantastic dining experience. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a staff member who handed us the menu without pressuring us to sit right away—something we appreciated compared to other places. A common complaint in previous reviews was slow service and poor customer care, but that certainly wasn’t our experience. Throughout our meal, we had two different waiters checking in on us every few minutes, ensuring they get our order on time. We ordered the sweet & sour sea bass and two nasi fried rice dishes. The rice arrived within five minutes, followed by the sea bass about ten minutes later. Both dishes were delicious, and the service was top-notch. We dined on a Wednesday evening, which may have contributed to the attentive service, though the restaurant still had a healthy crowd of locals. It might be a different atmosphere on weekends, but overall, we were very impressed. 10/10, would definitely return
