Average food - I’ve had better Malaysian food at better prices. Although the ambience is nice and the service is good and this time they redeemed an appropriate number of entertainment book vouchers.

A cheery and friendly restaurant. We were seated towards the rear of the restaurant on a busy Saturday night, but even so, tables were well- separated, so we weren't overly affected by other people. We shared plates amongst six people and each dish was flavourful and well-proportioned. Staff are efficient and easy to deal with. A very enjoyable experience.

A pleasant family restaurant with Malaysian cuisine. There are some favourites but there is no more ‘nasi lemak’ being coconut rice with spicy beef. Really? It fills the appetite and that is it.

We love monk and me, but last night wasn't their best night. Duck tasted like it had been reheated, presentation on other dishes lacking. Vibe was really quiet

Fantastic food and a stones throw from Rivoli cinemas. Perfect for our pre-movie dinner. Friendly service and a good selection of Chefs Specials as well as an extensive menu. We byo’d wine but enjoyed a cooling G&T from their bar. Highly recommended.

Even though my meal, sizzling tenderloins was delicious; it was obviously laden with garlic or msg. We have been here before and the food always tastes good. But we suffer afterwards. Unfortunately the staff seem very junior and no one of senior years was in charge; hence when there was a confusion re paying the bill, they had to call the manager and ask her what to do. Not good enough and we will not return. 1.7% surcharge for paying by credit is a rip off.

Extensive menu and delicious food. Great service and a nice ambience. BYO for wine with a corkage fee. Easy to park on a Saturday evening in the nearby car park as there are no parking restrictions.

Visited on new years eve and found the service and staff to be of top quality. I had a rice dish that lacked flavor but my parters Laksa was fullof flavour and of a generous proportion. Will return to try a different dish.

Very good food and service. We were there for lunch and the choices on the luncheon menu were excellent and good value as well. Will certainly go back for dinner and explore the full menu. Also I was there with my aunt who is on a walking frame, and her grandson (who was being difficult) and the staff were very helpful in moving tables to get my aunt comfortable, and patient with her grandson, which made the experience even easier.

Food and service was good. Noise level was high and so difficult to have a conversation without having to almost shout (thereby further adding to the noise level). They need some absorbing panels or carpet on some of the walls. Just a thought!
