Great seafood overall. The Sambal Udang was the standout — fresh, juicy prawns with a rich, spicy sambal. Tom Yum Gong was fragrant and nicely sour with generous prawns. The siput were well-cooked and tasty with sambal. Solid spot for bold, spicy seafood.

Nice restaurant. The food are exceptionally delicious, their staff are friendly and helpful. The ambiance is also nice. However, the price is quite pricey but it's totally worth it for the food they served. Suitable for family gathering.

Went here for dinner with wife and sister in-law family. So far the food is good, their salted egg prawn was amazing. Their ikan bakar and 3 rasa were okay. Crab i think not very fresh (for my order), Tomyam was generous, got lots of seafood inside (but i think i didnt found any squid). The place are crowded after 8pm, so you better come early. Parking also quite difficult, so pls carpool to save time and space. Some table you have to sit on the floor (bersila), so if you cant do that, better make a reservation before coming here. Good place to explore, as I also didnt know about this place even though already stay in JB for 15 years 😀

The price is reasonable for the generous portion. Parking is easy, and the restaurant offers a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere with soothing background music. Service is fast too. The only thing that could be improved is the staff’s friendliness so that would make the dining experience perfect. Additional tip: Make sure to check the seafood prices when making your selection so you can stay within your budget.

The food phenomenal especially the ikan bakar which is the star of the meal and their specialty. No need for extra drippings as the sambal topped with chili's and onions does the job of elevating the crispy edges, tender and juicy fish. The tomyam is tangy, flavourful and fragrant and keeps you wanting more. Highly recommended.
