My friends recommended this place to me and my roommates. So we decided to drop by over the weekend. The place is pretty packed - be warned you will likely need to sit with other groups. The decor is pretty phenomenal. I love the environment - gives off a hipster vibe as well.
My friends and I were seated on a high table and provided with the menu. If you are like us, completely new to the place, you will realize you have no clue on what to order for food. The options are provided with no details. Thankfully, the waiters are extremely helpful - he described all the dishes in so much detail (and enthusiasm) that we could clap by the end.
After the description we ordered: 3 satay, papaya salad with grilled pork, laksa lemac and the lamb soup with flat noodles. Starting with the 3 satay - nothing special. I did like the sauce - but pricey for what you receive. Papaya salad - my friends absolute favourite. This was a really refreshing dish - sour, spicy and sweet. Laksa lemac - I liked this one out of what we ordered. It has a good kick in flavor - but I don't know if you would say it's a meal..the size feels more like a snack. Lamb soup - big disappointment. Broth was decent, lamb meat was not strong in flavor (probably because it's stewed), but what drove it downhill was probably the noodles. While the noodles are edible - it was like a ball. Usually the starch forms a significant part of your base for dishes. So the fact that it wasn't made well was disappointing - especially with its price. I saw a lot of people have other foods - so I think if I were to come back, I would try other dishes.
Customer service was good - like I mentioned above, the waiter was extremely helpful. So I definitely think the service was somewhat more impressive than half the food we tried.
