Nice place serving food from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore etc. Extensive menu. Food was good. Wontons for appetizers was good. Had the red snapper pad char, shrimp tamarind. Enjoyed both. Thai tea ice cream was good. Nice modern ambience.

Perfect blend of tradition and creativity that's hard to find elsewhere in this country. I could tell that much love and thought went into everything I tried. Hainanese chicken rice was divine. In particular, the rice was done authentically right and seasoned to perfection. The desserts were cute and tasted amazing. Service was also top notch. This place is definitely for all Southeast Asian food lovers! ?

4 stars = good experience, unlikely repeat

TL;DR: extensive menu with various Thai, Cambodian, Malaysian, etc. foods. Good variety and decent flavors.

Came here for dinner on a Friday night, and I definitely recommend you make a reservation because it was packed. The interior is very cutely decorated, and the serve ware was so cute! Got seated shortly after arriving and took a little bit to be greeted by our server, but like I said, it was extremely busy. Plus, it gave us a chance to look at the very large menu.

FOOD:
~Thai tea (4/5): one of the more decent Thai teas in the area, but wanted a tiny bit more tea flavor

~Pie tee (3.5/5): This is a cold dish, which was unexpected. The small pieces were very refreshing as a starting out first bite.

~Roti Canai (4/5): roti was nice and crispy. The curry dip was okay, but I wish it was a tad thicker and the flavor was missing the finishing punch of flavor.

~Spicy Mackeral Salad (3.5/5): The flavor was really unique. Clean and tart. The picture made it seem like it would have more noodles, but it was mostly veggies/filler.

~Beef rendong (4/5): The flavor of this sauce was so good. Some of the meat was tough and dry.

~Tamarind shrimp (3.9/5): shrimp was so nice and crispy! The sauce was tasty, but some may think it's overly sweet (I liked it, but personal preference)

~Char kway teow (4.5/5): Shrimp was cooked perfectly and the noodles had great texture and flavor. Only thing is we expected it to be spicier, but was on the more mellow/sweeter side.

Overall, the food was solid, and it's a cute date night spot.
