2025 update:
This is upsetting. I saw an online post criticizing them and thought of trying the main branch. While it wasn't that bad, the overall decrease in quality is just so much that it doesn't justify the increase in price to $7.60. It feels like they are cutting corners somewhere.
Lower quality chicken or ikan bilis and peanuts? Again, no char taste from the chicken, and this time it was dry and not tender at all. The only saving grace was the sauce, which is still consistent, hot, and spicy. Shiok! But I think they increased the MSG... so thirsty after eating. I'm not a hater of MSG, but I don't remember being this thirsty after eating it last time. The rice was also fragrant and sweet.
However, the peanuts and ikan bilis were so bad I don't know how their quality depreciated so much. These peanuts just give me a headache chewing on them. The muscles in my temples are in pain after all this.
Very disappointing.
2023 update:
Not consistent. Chicken was dry and didn't have that grill char taste. But at least the price was the cheapest.

Got their signature ayam taliwang lemak for $6.90. 10 minutes from queue till seated.
Godly: taste of chicken! You get the unique BBQ char of chicken for this. While it might be on the dryer side, it is still juicy.
Pros: chili! Barely survived without drinks. Immediately went to find sugarcane juice after that. I was quite impressed that I survived. The spicy level piles up, I guess.
Egg white was more elegantly done, mostly smooth with no rough edges.
Initially, I thought the rice was too sticky, but it was all well after mixing in the sambal chili.
Cons: ikan bilis was pretty salty, could cut it just a bit.
Area for improvement: the chicken thigh is actually not the most tender. Not sure how, since it is BBQ, but nevertheless, they still come off the bone easily, just that you can feel on your tongue that the thigh is on the slightly tougher side, akin to chicken breast.
Question: Why is this stated as LGBTQ friendly on Google Maps?

The food here might be decent, but the service is downright awful. The staff behave as if customers are a nuisance rather than the reason the business exists. They talk down to you, act arrogantly, and are quick to scold over harmless mistakes like standing in the “wrong” spot or accidentally picking up the wrong order.
No amount of “decent” food is worth being treated like you’re unwelcome. Until they fix their attitude, this place is an easy pass.

Sure, the food is decent, but the staff’s attitude is so unbearable it ruins the entire experience.
Sure, the food is decent, but the staff's attitude is so unbearable it ruins the entire experience. They strut around as if they're doing customers a favor by existing, talking down to anyone who makes the smallest mistake—whether it's standing in the "wrong" queue or grabbing the wrong order by accident.
It's honestly pathetic how a place with decent food manages to make you feel unwelcome. Eat here if you enjoy being scolded with your meal; otherwise, there are plenty of spots where good food actually comes with basic respect.

Nasi lemak was okay. The chicken leg was a little dry but very good sambal.

The service staff has a serious attitude problem. I don't care how good your food is or how many Michelin awards you've won.
When a customer is paying and hands you cash, throwing the change and buzzer back at them is a definite no-no. It wasn't even a busy time of day. This was my first time trying, and there won't be a next time.
