Food: Bland taste, stale freshness

Despite boasting dishes that could've been stellar, the Crispy Pata Pork Hocks, Crispy Meat Platter, and Lumpia Shanghai only raise anticipation that's dashed at first taste. Lackluster creativity, disappointing taste, and a palpable staleness strangely paired with ample portions and fair value diminish the dining experience.

  • Great Value

    Great food at fair prices, service quality a notable positive aspect.

  • Okay Taste

    Some food is delicious, other dishes mediocre, yielding mixed feelings.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu selection is typical and lacks the creativity some desire.

Vibe: Uninspiring ambiance, poor drinks

A poorly maintained ambiance, with questionable hygiene and confined space, does little to elevate the dining experience. The lack of alcoholic offerings further aggravates the situation making it far from the quintessential date night spot, despite its popularity on Instagram.

  • Okay Buzz

    Instagram popularity attracts, but in reality, food presentation may vary.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Ambiance marred by dirty bathrooms, cramped space, and stuffy interiors.

Perks: Parking woes and misleading descriptions

Parking is a nightmare and those who surmount that challenge are met with an unorganized waiting system leading to frustrated customers. Moreover, dishes are misrepresented and dietary requirements mislabeled. Attempts to cater to large groups and families end up as a saving grace in an otherwise dampening service.

  • Great For Groups

    Efficiently accommodates large groups with ample space and group menus.

  • Okay To Hear

    Inviting atmosphere, but lively noise levels present.

  • Bad For Diets

    Dishes mislabeled, vegetables advertised not included, with misleading photos.
