The food was served cold during dinner hours, which is completely unacceptable. It seemed pre-prepared but wasn’t even heated properly, making it taste off from the usual standard. For the price paid, the food should at least be served hot. If a restaurant can’t manage that during peak dinner hours, what should customers expect? Very disappointing.

Wasn't expecting my satay to taste like chicken cooked in soy sauce. Luckily, the gravy was nice enough to enable me to finish two sticks.

I haven't tried the food, but I frequently walk past and always smell a strong stench from this store. It's like dirty mop water; I'm not sure if there are issues with the floor cleaning or air conditioning. This has been ongoing for years, please fix it!
Update: I saw some articles about how this outlet was fined for food safety lapses, and some reviewers also accused the restaurant of giving discounts for good reviews. Eat here at your own risk.

Food is okay. Let down by poor service and a terrible atmosphere. The food is just alright, with some flavor and good-sized portions. However, nothing was warm except the soup. They cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into very large slices. The service was simply moving plates from the kitchen to the table; we had to get our own cutlery. The chairs are uncomfortable, and the exhaust fan drones noisily. The place just feels sad.

We love to have our gatherings here as they are friendly, and their ikan bakar, oxtail soup, and tahu telor are so delicious. Not to forget their avocado drink, it's a must to order!

Highly recommended!
I had the grilled chicken with yellow rice at Ayam Penyet President (Hillion) and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly grilled—smoky, tender, and coated in a rich, sweet soy sauce. I also tried their spicy fried rice on a separate visit, and it was bursting with flavor.
Both dishes are definitely worth trying if you love bold Indonesian flavors!
