"A popular place with locals for Thai food, it gets crowded in the evenings. Service is prompt and food arrived quite fast. The environment is quaint built around an old bungalow painted white and black. The Tomyam Bihun and Mee Celup were both good but maybe a tad sweet. The Nasi Goreng was a little wet and lumpy but the chicken chop with black pepper sauce was good. Drinks were generally good with the Oreo Shake being quite outstanding. Overall a decent place for some nice food and prices are quite reasonable. No wonder it’s quite popular with locals."

"The food is quite nice. I would say they are good at thai food. I have tried Nasi Goreng Pad Kra Pow and Nasi Goreng Petai, and both are quite good. But the drink is too sweet for me. Ask for less sugar if you need less sweet drink like me. They also serve side dish such as fried wedges with cheese sauce. The ambience is good. All with white and black color. The lighting is good for those who are looking for a vibe to lepak with friends."

"Parking is very limited, for me the location is not parking friendly although they have their own parking space. Good environment, good space between table, many said they have waitress problem, but i think only few of them, lucky we got good waitress. The food is good with reasonable price, average price for nasi goreng is around 7rm, something special would cost around 10rm-15rm and in kuala kangsar u can say this restaurant have good selection of menu. Service is quite fast.. Maybe u can come early between 3pm to 7pm to avoid peak hours. Just Enjoy your food"
