First time to dine in here with my partner. The ambiance was nice. The food was great. But the attitude of the lady in the cashiers was kind of rude and no customer service. And the order was taking long time.
renelyn delos Santos, 2 months agoThe service is pretty good, they took us too our seats. Its not too loud, But the chairs are very squeaky. The wait time is a bit long but not too long. Yeah, i would recommend This place.
Grace Jansan, 2 months agoVery reasonably priced for a barbecue, the prawns were crunchy and yummy. The meat was well cooked. As a sweet corn fanatic myself I didn’t really love the corn, it could’ve been sweeter and tasted uncooked also was too pale in colour to my liking. The rice was good and was more than enough for one person.
