Many food choices, fried rice, japanese katsu curry and kon loh mee are all tasty. Surprised that the curry was one of the best I’ve tasted. Dessert and deinks were great too. Only RM50 for 3 people, affordable. (Dessert is bigger than the bowl in the pic, this one we asked for extra bowl to share)

The dishes are all favourable. Which means they're either good for you or just not to your taste. But they're definitely tasty. Tomyum shrimp pasta was super tasty, omelette friedrice was nice on the eggs and the beef noodle was ok as well although the beef itself was hard instead of the tendons.

Good cuisine. Chicken teriyaki was crispy and very good. Prices are not too expensive and the dish is worth the price. I think that the staff could improve their behaviour with the customer and get more friendly and professional. They were all seated and staring at us when we arrived and no one said hello.( We thought that they were customers too)

New place in town. Has a wide selection of rice, noodles and snacks. Price is affordable. Suitable for a quick meal, whether it's lunch or dinner. The Mapo tofu rice is actually quite good with a hint of curry taste, so it's a local variation. Beef noodle is not bad but a the soup was a tad too salty. All in a ll, not a bad place.
