Worst. I'm not sure where they get this idea. This is my first time having this issue with a halal zi char restaurant. I ordered a horfun and could only choose between prawns, chicken, or beef. If I chose beef, it had to be all beef. So I took prawns. My expectation was that it would be like usual seafood horfun, with fishcake, sotong, and etc. But when the food arrived, I was shocked and angry at the same time. It only had three prawns in it, and that was it. Sorry to say, I'm not going to order from them anymore. I know last time they used to be very nice, but I might as well order from other halal zi char places.

Food is horrible. 2nd time eating here, thought I had to give it one more chance. Ordered Olive rice
The food is horrible. This was my second time eating here, and I thought I'd give it one more chance. I ordered Olive rice and Pad Thai this time, and pineapple rice previously. The dishes were totally different from the pictures. They don't even have lime; when I asked, they gave me lemon juice. The meat tasted fake and rubbery; it was disgusting. I didn't even finish my food. Not recommended. However, if you need a place to sit for a long time without being disturbed, it might be possible since their business is slow. I doubt they have repeat customers.

Seriously the worst Thai food I’ve ever had — and that’s saying a lot. I had it delivered, and not only was the food subpar, but the entire order was a mess from the start. The drinks were packaged so poorly that they spilled everywhere in the bag, soaking the containers and even leaking into the food itself. It was a disaster.
The pineapple fried rice? Hands down the worst I’ve ever tasted. I’ve had delivery food before, and I understand if things get a bit soggy — that’s expected. But this wasn’t just soggy; it was bottom of the barrel in both taste and presentation. Bland, mushy, and just overall sad.
If you’re craving Thai food, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. This was a waste of money, and honestly, I wish I could un-eat it.

Food was horrible, 2/5 at best. The pineapple fried rice tasted bland. The food generally felt like it was cooked by a secondary school kid in an F&N class.
Salted Egg Prawn? More like Salted Egg Paste. It felt like I was eating prawns with mashed potato that didn't even taste remotely close to anything salted egg.
Basil beef fried rice was horrible. I remember eating the same thing when I cooked my minced beef wrongly when I was 12 years old.
Service was good though. But the food is just pure horrid.

No-frills halal Thai food that tasted good. Value for money with generous portions. We really liked the Tom Yam soup, Pad Thai, green curry, and mango sticky rice. We'll happily return again for these. The pandan chicken was flavorful but over-fried and too dry. The pineapple rice was rather plain. Service was friendly, and we didn't wait long for the food.

At their price point, this has to be the best value-for-money eatery in this so-so mall. The beef hor fun (Thai style, with carrots and kai lan) was decently cooked, and a glass of iced lychee brought the total to just $9.60 inclusive of GST!
The staff are friendly, though quiet. You need to grab a table, mark your order with a pencil, pay at the cashier, and then return to your table.
DO NOT CHANGE TABLE
PS: Try the Fried Tang Hoon with Beef!

Reasonably priced Thai food. We found the Pad Thai (choice of chicken, prawns, or beef) to be one of the sweetest we've had. The pineapple fried rice was quite bland but paired well with the mango salad, which we enjoyed very much.

Huge, generous portions and decent quality. The chicken in the green curry was very fresh, with lots of eggplant, and the green curry itself was good. The Pad Thai with prawns was impressive, not too oily and not too sweet. If they maintain their standard, this could be a go-to for Thai food takeaway.

Excellent Thai food. I've been here more than 3 times and the prices are affordable. The chicken basil with rice and egg is my favorite dish. Pro tip: try the sambal belacan at the cutlery counter, it's superb.
