Food was great across the board. Prices higher than average. Could find similar dishes for cheaper nearby. Thing that really bugs me was that rice is an upcharge for most dishes. Which is bizarre and uncommon at most malaysian restraunts. Its hand written all over the menu that dishes dont come with rice so im guessing that folks have complained.Seems like a cheap exploitive thing to do.Its a shame because id definitely go back for the food quality but paying $70 for soft shell crab, satay and a drink is a bit absurd. When i could get the same nearby for $50 or less nearby. Good luck! Love your cooking.

Feels close to home. The host felt like someone from home. Food was good but could be a bigger portion for the price. Overall 7/10

My mum is a picky eater, is from Malaysia and loves the laksa, the mi goreng, and the Hainanese chicken. I get that for her at least once a week and it's a highlight. Thanks to Tamarind Hill for making her so very happy

This is one of the best restaurants in the neighbourhood. The food is consistently excellent and the portions are generous. Really nice friendly staff as well. Love the roti canai in particular!

How to make a customer feel unwelcome - no joy here. What happened to this place, given some of the better reviews?How to make a customer feel completely undervalued has been perfected here. Having had a restaurant, I understand how complex the business can be, but this was sad.I read the poor reviews and should not have bothered going here, but we had walked too far.They have lost the idea of customer service.This was a very small, poorly lit place, and although the decor wouldn't by itself assist in this place qualifying for decent ambiance, the front man providing service, the dishware, the meal presentation, the lack of attention or care from the server, the lack of attention to the quantity and dishes ordered, created an environment of wanting to get up and leave.He certainly was not friendly but did oblige us with a table for four as it was empty when we arrived.The food was ordered and delivered quickly but without a smile or eye contact.The papaya salad was tasty but placed on the table with two small plates that hardly held half of the salad. He never came back until the beef came.We ordered a beef stew dish (not two cups) for $22.00, NO RICE included. We did not get a proper new plate...ever. We were to continue eating off of dirty side plates. Although tasty enough, it had maybe ten pieces of half-fatty beef and ok pieces intermingled with a few potatoes. That, too, was dropped on our table in passing to another table - not a glance in our direction and not a question of how it was. We ordered one rice but had to pay for two.The total experience was so poor that I would not recommend the place I recommend against bothering--$ 42.00 NO TIP, was poorly spent. It was an overpriced pit stop. There is no joy here.We won't go back to that place. It completely lacks hospitality.

We ordered satay chicken which was okay but the Laska soup was very good and also Mee goreng was amazing. I really loved it. It looks likes a family owned restaurant. Just the service was not the best.
