"Lovely evening ambiance with a calming, nature-inspired setting. The food was delicious — especially the Beef Spaghetti Carbonara, which deserves a solid 10/10! The only downside was the limited menu variety. Drinks were just okay, nothing too special. Overall, a great place to dine if you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere and good food."

"Nice ambiance… surrounded by greenery and deco. Food is okay. There is allot of gravy, which could overwhelm the actual taste of the food. Spaghetti carbonara sauce bit blend and diluted. Sides like salad and mash potatoes too small portion. Tables and chairs are neatly arrange but utensils are bit flimsy hence loose it’s class for the ambience they have. No online menu and need order at the counter. Staffs are friendly."

"Was welcomed with a wide smile by the staff. The food was soooo good. The portion is reasonable at a cheap price. Ordered chicken chop and the kid's meal. Apparently, the kid's meal also was good and the portion was quite a lot hahahaha. WORTH EVERY PENNY! For drinks, the strawberry milkshake comes in different forms but after the shake and stir well the taste was good. BUT I LOVE THEIR LEMON SODA. IT WAS SO GOOOD. The environment was also very nicee. Overall very satisfied. Recommended!!!"

"Staff super friendly, patient! And the food all unique! I like my Tomyam pasta tho! Oh ya, should try their fried enoki! You can really tell the oil is fresh, which makes the enoki cheesy fries super crispy and delicious. The natural flavors of the coffee beans really stand out, with no harsh bitterness. Definitely better than many cafés. It’s also not too sweet, which makes it very enjoyable. Rarely a place where can make me finish a whole cup of latte by my own Love it! Will be back for sure! They’re truly putting their heart into running this small shop. Keep it up!"
