About Southeast Impression

Southeast Impression is a charming restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The decor is described as "so cute inside," creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the overall experience. The menu features a variety of delectable dishes, including the highly praised Roti Canai, Papaya Salad, Tom Yum Soup, Pad See Eiw with Beef, Hainanese Chicken, and Massaman Curry. The Singapore Chili Crab, a signature dish, is celebrated for its generous portion and flavorful, though slightly tomato-heavy, sauce. Many options are available to share, with portions big enough for groups. The restaurant also offers a fusion of East Asian food, blending traditional flavors with modern twists, reflected in dishes like Crab Fried Rice and Pad See Eiw with beef, both noted for their flavor and generous servings.

The interior is striking with ambient lighting and a plant mural surrounding the bar, creating a stylish and welcoming environment. The drink selection is notable, featuring creative cocktails such as the Salted Egg Thai Coffee Martini and Tamerand Old Fashioned, which enhance the dining experience. Appetizers like steamed dumplings are well presented, flavorful, and not greasy. Main dishes, including the seared Chilean Seabas with Assam curry and Eggplant Stir-fry Shrimp, showcase high-quality ingredients and great flavors. The Pineapple Fried Rice is highlighted as a fantastic choice, highly recommended for its taste. For dessert, the Mango Sticky Rice is especially praised for its fresh, sweet mango and perfect sticky rice, along with the Biscoff cheesecake, which is less sweet and very good.

Overall, Southeast Impression provides a memorable dining experience with attentive service, a clean and well-decorated space, and a variety of delicious dishes. The service is described as warm, friendly, and enthusiastic, ensuring that customers feel well taken care of. Reservations are suggested on busy days, and while parking can be a challenge, the quality of food and atmosphere make it well worth a visit.
