Vibe: Chic atmosphere with a vibe gap

The restaurant's modern decor and clean design create an inviting setting. While the ambiance feels right for a trendy outing, the buzz is noticeably absent, leaving the atmosphere somewhat flat during less busy times.

  • Bad Comfort

Perks: Convenient parking undermined by service

Chai Lan makes parking a breeze, with ample space available. While group dining is accommodated, the service frequently disappoints, with reports of rude staff and slow attention diminishing the overall experience.
