Malvin S.Malvin Sasmita: Pud gra pow with crab curry and yam goon sen :)

JamesJames: Great Thai, very affordable. Try the Jumbo Crab, our favourite dish. Also, beware - the 'less curry' option was still a little too hot for our western palate! Grab a coconut drink to cool the burn.

Joachim O.Joachim Ooi: Yellow Crab Curry & Pad Thai was the best 2 dishes are the MUST ORDER here. Pineapple Fried Rice was good and has the buttery taste as well. -Penang Kia Food Critique-

Gé ..Gé .: Really good soft shell crab. The salmon sashimi with coriander sauce is a blast. Finish the dinner with a scoop of pineapple-shosu sorbet, astringent and refreshing. A bit pricy but very good service.

Isabel S.Isabel Santoso: Love love love the new style sashimi, black cod with miso, fried king prawn legs and soft shell crab sushi!! ♡

Cassie W.Cassie W.: The spanner crab tacos is a must have!
