| - Came here with a friend for dinner around 6pm on a Wednesday evening. The place was half empty when we arrived, but it's known to fill up quickly with the university crowd.
We were initially going to be seated in the main bench seating area, but the server was nice enough to move us towards the windows when we kindly asked. From past experience, sitting in the bench seating area can get cramped, loud and a bit uncomfortable if you're hoping to have a private conversation (read: if you're getting to know someone on a first date while sitting in the main bench area, it can get real awkward real fast).
We ordered the Islamic Noodles with chicken (a secret menu item I've been wanting to try), and the Siam Fried Rice; both less / non-spicy.
The Islamic noodles is a pad thai with coconut curry sauce. Sauce was tasty, noodles were good, chicken not overcooked - would definitely order again.
The fried rice was your standard fare fried rice mixed with shrimp, squid, pineapple and vegetables. Pineapple and vegetables seemed fresh, but the squid had a strong fishy taste which was a bit odd - not sure if that was intentional or something else going on there. Would likely not order again.
Of the times I've eaten here, the service was always good. I think we spent nearly 1.5 hours eating and chatting, and never felt rushed even as the busy university student crowd began pouring in later in the evening.
Overall, decent food with good service for a good price.
