What happened to this place. Let me just start by saying that the food itself was pretty delicious. However, that's about the only good thing I experienced. We had a reservation for 10 as soon as they opened and we waited 10 minutes for them to get set up. There was no other customers. We then waited another 15 mins be served for them to take our order. Meanwhile, another family came after us and were served first. After our server took our order, we waited close to 30-40 minutes to get our food, while the other large family of 8-10 got their food before us even though they arrived after we us. I also forgot to mention that the whole place was leaking and had random buckets on the ground to catch the water. The walls were also filthy, all roughed up needing a new coat of paint. The whole experience was just bad, luckily when the food came out, it was still pretty good. I do hope they get some more help and renovate the place.

I have passed this place for ten years and after trying to eat at two sushi places that were closed for some reason, we finally ended up here. I liked the layout and the decor. The food however, ... was awesome 😉. I found something new that I had never heard of, beef Rendang. I loved it. My wife and son had a great Pad Thai and a good sized bowl of wonton soup with some spring rolls. I will not drive by again with getting my rendang fix.

WOW! We have just fallen in love. My husband and I ordered takeout and were blown away by the food. The star of the show goes to Char Kway Teow - so smoky, so balanced, so easy to enjoy. This is a must try if you haven’t had it already! Next time, we’ll order two of the Char Kway Teow, cuz it is far too delicious to share and you’ll want leftovers! Second runner(s) up: A tie between the Tom Yum Noodle soup & the Penang Har Mee soup. Both were so flavorful, packed with veggies and seafood and each with a unique flavor profile that can only come from a kitchen that lovingly invests time into their own authentic broths. The Tom Yum Noodle soup is also different from that which you might expect at a Thai restaurant- this one has more of a fresh tomato base that is rich and light at the same time. The Penang Har Mee is more similar to a Jambong (Korean soup) with a smoky flavor but a deep crab broth base. Spicy, so it will catch you at the back of your throat, but so worth it! Nasi Lamak - I haven’t had this dish as much, so I can’t really judge. My Korean husband loved it, and my favorite part (we only sampled cuz it was too much food to eat a lot) is the fried anchovies- so perfectly crispy and salty!!! We will definitely be back!! Highly recommend.

Halal chicken & lamb, authentic flavors and some dishes I've never had stateside! Would come back to try other things on the menu. Roti canai and nasi lemak were favorites among what we tried, char kway teow was also good. Mee goreng was ok.

Their chicken comes from Restaurant Depot. There's conflict aroumd if it is actually "zabiha halal". Do your research around Restaurant Depot if you want to know about the halal status of the restaurant.
