Tasty yet old. The fruit in the Rojak was from days before. The fried chicken pieces in the Indo Style were dry and tough. The eggs in the gado Gado had that green iron ring around the yolk. Amateurish not Michelin level. The chicken skewers were good but dry though. Overall, not for me.

Great food, service, value

Absolutely amazing. One of the best noodle soup spots I’ve had in a while. Everything was bold, creamy, and packed with flavor.

Roti Prata: Get
Soft and flakey with just the right amount of crisp on the edges. The curry dip it comes with is rich and fragrant. Honestly could just snack on this all day.

Singapore Laksa: GET
This bowl was ridiculous. So creamy, spicy, and layered with flavor. Had shrimp, tofu, fish cake, corn, and all kinds of toppings. One of those dishes that makes you sit back for a second. It’s that good.

Service was fast and no frills. Menu is huge and has tons of options so I’m definitely coming back to try the rest. Prices are solid for the portion and quality too. This spot deserves all the hype.

Good food, and a pretty unique food experience. Very limited vegetarian food (only 1 dish - Gado Gado) but they were able to make a noodle dish vegetarian for the table as well. The roti prata is delicious. Chicken satay was good.

The food was good overall. Noodles in a coconut curry soup, which was flavorful and a bit spicy👍. The fried rice e was pretty good- I probably should have gone with noodles instead to try something new. Price have gone up a little.

Loved everthing I tried - Roti Prata, Gado Gado, Singapore Laksa. Definitely try the laksa!

Really great food, a must visit if you’re in the 626 area. It’s on the Michelin guide and for good reason. The laksa is a must try

I just wanted to share my HORRIBLE customer service experience with management. You guys should definitely evaluate who you hire. I will never be returning to this place and will let everyone I know how bad this establishment is. I am so upset. I came here yesterday, March 27th, with my parents and my newborn. Spent over $100 on food and even ordered food and a drink to go for my spouse. While attending to my newborn and making sure she doesn't cry, I accidentally dropped my drink that I ordered to go. The people who work here told me I have to pay for another drink because it's my fault. Where is the customer service? It made me feel less than. Like a failure. It was an ACCIDENT. so what if you remade a drink? How much money will you lose by remaking a small drink again to a brand new mother? This is why people don't support small businesses. If this happened at Starbucks or any other chained restaurant, they would have simply remade the drink. Instead they forced me to pay for it

Each one is delicious,
I especially like their fried noodles,
The taste and texture are great,
The texture of the noodles is like Taiwanese pasta.
The price is also cheap,
The attitude and service of the service staff are also very good!

Everything was delicious so it was hard to pick a favorite! My favorite would have to be the Kwe Tiau Siram. It looks so plain and simple but it has a really good flavor.

I wanted to like Borneo but it was just ok for me. Service was a bit lacking. Maybe they're just timid.

QR code menu on the table links you to their website. They have printed menus available.

Roti prata - Small size comes with one piece. Large size comes with two pieces. The curry sauce was delicious.

Singaporean laksa - tad spicy kick. Soup tasted like coconut milk. Egg noodles were al dente, which I enjoyed. Too many bean sprouts for my preference.

From the wok Borneo with flat rice noodles - this was good. Nothing stood out about it.

Bathroom available in the back.
Credit card / Apple Pay accepted.
Parking is in the back.
