The kueteow was great. It's not the dry charred style but the taste was delicious. The laksa also good. Nasi ayam so so. The deep fried chicken was good, tasty and crispy but didn't like the rice. Satay not bad too. Also try the kerang goring.

We came here for a family dinner, we had been here 1,2 and 3 years ago, keeping quite good dinner memories. This time the interior looked still good as well as the furniture was very well maintained. 5/5. The service wasn't very warm and not very accurate. 3/5. General cleanliness 4/5. The food, special thai fried rice 3/5, scallops (were those really scallops?) 2/5, green asperges (only a few, decorated with some small shrimps), some other vegetables 3/5 etc. Chinese tea, tea bags floating in the glass, 2/5. Compared to last year and the years before to our opinion quite down graded performance of the kitchen and the price is quite high for this region. We will not come back based on this experience.

I was so glad i visited as the taste of the different curry sauces was incredible.
Very busy at lunchtime so I arrived early just as they opened and they made me so welcome when they realised I was interested in the restaurant - lots of reviews pasted to the walls.
The food was delicious and not expensive at all. Left very satisfied that I'd found a real gem.

Caters to all from kids to folks and promises to delight your taste whatever it may be. An assortment of cakes, biscuits, mousse, ice cream, bread and after-dinner delectable can be purchased here. Take your time as you browse through them and you won't be surprised at all if you find yourself with two bags full of desserts to bring home. Several branches are sprouted all along Alor Setar. There is one just before the Star Parade (by the side of the road just before the overhead bridge), another one opposite Tesco Mergong and one smaller kiosk in the top floor of Aman Central Hypermall.

Have to be honest thought the place would be just a bar with crappy food at first. Proved wrong. Food was good with adequate portions. House white wine tasted delightful. Good customer relations and very friendly staff completed the whole experience.

Reviewed By mzul2017 - Alor Setar, Malaysia
This is a Chinese food restaurant serving a limited and common Chinese dishes. The food is tasty for this standard of set up. It is located at Jalan Tunku Abdul Halim, Alor Setar. Nearby locations are the "Cowboy" wet market, ASRC Hotel and the Government Dental Clinic. The price used to be reasonable but now it is not cheap any more. It is considered 'not cheap' by local standard and restaurant of this size. Customers are lesser now in 2017, probably because of the price hike.

Reviewed By ckpeng04 - Alor Setar, Malaysia
The food is comparable to any restaurant of the same standard. Reasonably good but still lack that original strong Thai flavour. Nice interior and deco. Only average service . Waiters and waitresses don't speak good English. Free parking in front of the restaurant and also by the road side. A bit pricey for the food and service provided.
