Beautiful looking place, but that's about it. Some of their show stopper dishes had very little flavour (I know my Malaysian cuisine). Humm, well.

Party of 5, all enjoyed our meals. Cocktails were brilliant. Menu probably caters for most tastes.

Food is good but on our most recent visit woefully understaffed took about 30min just to get our drinks, and kitchen not much better. Portions have shrunk in some cases, sadly seems to be going down hill
Oct22 update: Got takeaway, in-house dining numbers restricted due to 'staff shortages' seems to be kitchen as even takeaway very slow had to wait extra 10min after scheduled time. Portions still shrinking but quality really good

Had lunch here recently with a couple of colleagues. The place was spacious, comfortable seating arrangement and a modern Asian atmosphere. The service was friendly and the food was tasty.
I had Hawker roll - pulled sticky pork. The roti is so delicious pulled pork is tender and juicy, but too much juice/sauce for me. Juice flows over my hand while l eat it.
Will definitely return to taste the many dishes available. If you are in the area and love to have some Malaysian taste, I strongly recommend that you give this place a go.

This place use to be fab, great food & wine list. Today the food was very ordinary. I chose the Woo salad which I have had before. However there was the bottom stem of the cos lettuce in it & hardly any lychee's & dressing just lacking in flavour. The honey soya squid has changed & the sauce is not as good & only 1 x dried chilli so not as hot. The hawker rolls chicken & pulled pork also ordinary. The food overall is really, really under par. As for the wine list it use to be great. Now the wines are awful could not even drink the glass of Chardonnay @ $19. Won't be going back & we drove over the bridge to go there. When it first opened you had to wait to get in not anymore. Shame

I was originally given the wrong order to which I had to go back to the restaurant. The lady was very apologetic which was nice. For some unknown reason my order did not process. I had to wait another 25 minutes. During this time I received no apology whatsoever and very little information to which I had to ask how long my order would be. Even when he handed me my food after waiting an hour he said absolutely nothing, not even a "sorry for the wait". Food was good but we had the smallest portion of rice which was supposed to feed 5 people (was only half filled in the bowl). We got the family set takeaway, $140, supposed to feed 5, there were only 3 of us and we managed to eat everything (no we are not over eaters). Customer service lacked in genuine care and respect towards high paying customers. It's really not hard to say sorry or even chuck in a few freebees if you're not too parsimonious.

Place was great with right vibe. Service was great. Food wasn't the best, chicken was super dry in all the dishes we ordered, so dry that I couldn't swallow it without drinking water afterwards. My wife's comment on the cocktail was that it was full of icecubes top to bottom, she hardly took 5 sips and it was finished. Quantity was great but I couldn't eat because I couldn't swallow, I entered the restaurant hungry and left hungry made some quick noodles at home afterwards as I wasn't in the mood for cooking. Expected better food as this isn't the cheapest restaurant.

Why have I just waited so long to visit? Made it up by going twice within a couple of weeks. Great atmosphere and beautiful food.

Nasi lemak with fried chicken is the best.the one with beef rendang tasted a bit weird. Perhaps because not used to the seasoning they put in beef. A bit pricey compared to other restaurants but the portions are good size and quite filling.

Asked waitress if the beef rending could come without coconut shavings, she assured us it was only on top and that she would pass it onto the kitchen. The food brought out was full or coconut shavings and even the rice had it throughout. Waters left empty, not asked if we wanted another drink at all. They all stood around chatting like they had nothing better to do and as if no one could see them. The food was ok, absolutely loved the roti wraps and the dumplings, very good. Such a shame the staff aren't passionate about the place or the food. I would love this place to stay open because I love the food but the experience is going to leave me going somewhere else. I did complain about the rendang and it was complementary soni do appreciate that. I started this review off as one star while inside the restaurant, after the rendang was struck from the invoice I changed it to 3 stars

We ate here on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Had high hopes and they weren’t met. Usually when we’re hungrier, food ratings naturally go up, this was an outlier. Atmosphere was good, service was great and location and parking wasn’t bad either. Price of food and drinks was overly priced for what you get, taste was average at best.

Delicious foods in a beautiful setting. The hawker rolls were the bomb. Staff are very attentive and helpful. They offer traditional tea as well. Definitely recommend!

I must say cooking was below standard i have visited here alot awhile ago and found it quiet good but my last visit this week was well below standard. I have visited Malaysia many times and it was nowhere near what it should of been. The beef was dry satay sauce nothing like it used to be. The chicken for the curry was iver cooked and one piece of potato was mush very disappointing indeed.
