food is good, taste is very authentic singaporean/malaysian! however, the service can be improved by leaps and bounds. the staff are very selective when it comes to providing good service. it seems like they treat the locals better than asians from what i observed. the prices are quite high for asian hawker cuisine but the taste kind of offsets it.

Approximate cost: $15

good food, great value and friendly/attentive staff! the cuisine is very tasty and there's lots of choices. the bubble tea is recommended! won't go broke eating in this place!

Approximate cost: $9

went there for drinks one night with my mate and was appalled by their service. ordered a cup of tea and coffee. the tea leaves (apparently T2) given were not even enough for the amount of hot water in the glass! the coffee was ok. after sitting down for 10 minutes the waitress shoved the bill on our table and started packing up the chairs beside us. i thought that was quite rude as they did not mention they were closing when we asked them if we could order the drinks. this was 9:15pm on a friday night.

the staff including the chefs are Chinese and not Japanese! they dress in kimonos to fool the customers who can't tell the difference. the menu is overpriced and the quality is worse than eating at a food court. it also tastes awful (too oily & doesn't taste fresh). the ceilings and interior are not clean - lots of grease from the teppanyaki cooking stuck on ceiling. the only thing authentic about the place is the green tea! won't be back again....first and last!

Approximate cost: $20
