Staff come up often in praise. Named servers like Melissa, Evan, and Miki are called helpful and attentive. The room is small and cosy, but lunchtime gets loud, so talking can be hard. A few reviewers said the cakes were only fine.

LAVIE Boulangerie

4.4(280)✓ Google-verified

LAVIE Boulangerie earns its 4.4 rating mainly on pastries and shio pan. Reviewers say prices feel fair for the quality, and many return for the same bakes. The room is plain and bright, so most people come for the food rather than the look. Shoppers mention the mochi croissant tart, pistachio pastries, scallion cream cheese rice bun, and egg tarts. A few praise the carbonara and breakfast plates. One reviewer found the almond croissant light on filling, and one visit felt awkward.

Nine Dragon Char Chan Teng

3.8(805)✓ Google-verified

Diners often praise the food and the comfortable setting, with many short five-star notes about tasty dishes. Ratings still split sharply, with about a quarter of reviews at one or two stars. The strongest praise goes to the ayam gepuk and a baked cheese pasta, which reviewers describe as rich and filling. Service gets mixed marks: some say staff are friendly, while others report slow help, a language barrier, and menu items that were not available. One reviewer also reported a cockroach.
