Diners who like fish noodles tend to leave happy, especially with the fish soup and the sambal. Many say the broth is comforting and the portions feel generous. Service is the sticking point, with several reviewers waiting close to an hour or more for food. Staff are often called polite and caring, and one diner praised how the team adjusted a meal for an elderly parent. Taste reports vary, with some calling the food underwhelming or the meat portions small. Recent reviews point to slow orders, spilled takeaway soup, and a few missed items.
