We both enjoyed the Laksa flavours and the level of 'heat' which was mild to medium and the waiter explained. The portion was too large and we couldnt manage to finish. Thank you ChuManChu for a lovely evening

Place got potential but very few meat pieces or duck piece e.g. in duck curry and just a few super slim unnoticeable tofu pieces in respective dishes!

Food was delicious as always. A little confusion re meals as my dish was served well before my husbands. I think they thought we were sharing!

The description of the dishes was not what was received. Frozen vegetables in the mee goreng rice dish & tasteless, the prawn hokkien noodles were saturated in so much overpowering sauce, it was inedible. Service was non existent, staff look unhappy & definitely unattentive. Far too expensive for what was delivered. Would not recommend and will not go back.

The beef massaman curry had 3 pieces of beef and didn't taste like massaman. The lemongrass tea was very weak and was just hot water.

We have been coming to Chumanchu for a few years now and we have always found the food and service to be consistently good. This time we brought friends and felt embarrassed as we have to go up to the desk to ask for our drinks and again to ask for our order to be taken. The restaurant was not particularly busy, so we were surprised by the poor service as it was the same wait staff as usual. The curry laksa was also not of the same quality as previously either. We were disappointed.

Quite disappointed with the Vietnamese coleslaw with pork and prawn; really had to look for the pork and prawn! While I like coleslaw with so little protein it was really very boring. The server was great. The music was too loud.

The Pad Thai meal I ordered had chunks of uncooked noodles stuck together. There were about five chunks that I ate but left some uncooked bits on my plate, along with the overcooked prawns. The Pad See Ewe meal only had small pieces of meat. A little disappointed given previous vegetarian meals ordered on previous occasions were delicious.

We really like the restaurant and have been visiting for years. However, last night it was busy and we were served water on arrival but had to wait 40 mins before we received even our wine. The whole waiting experience dominated our sitting. Sorry to say.
