We took our food to go to the Sign Bar next door.
I was delighted by the coconut escolar ceviche in a half coconut, beautifully presented and carefully packed in my takeout container.
Other bar patrons were certainly jealous.
Very nice staff and we would return again to enjoy the colorful interior.
We went for an early Saturday dinner. Started with the pork skins - fantastic. I had the frozen Golden Hour, and he had the Nagano Drip. Both very tasty! We shared the chicken wings and the lamb lahb special. The coriander flower add an awesome aromatic flavor! We will definitely return!

An absolutely wonderful restaurant with amazing food. The flavors of the food we ordered were great and unique. We came because we saw it featured in a TV show and it didn’t disappoint. We drove 35 minutes from Georgetown but it was well worth the trip. The owner, Gwen was lovely, friendly and charming. The food and cocktails were delicious and spicy. They don’t serve wine though. We will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu…..HIghly recommended!!!

EXCELLENT FOOD. We weren’t even that hungry and because of how good it was, we ordered a ton more than I took photos of. Well worth it. Great flavors and seasoning. Get it all. Chicken wings and sausage were the stand out for me and so many of the sauces like the sambol.

Casual restaurant in a cute eclectic location. You order at the counter and sit either in the dining room, at the bar or outside. Fantastic drinks at good prices. The food is good, but a bit pricey especially for counter service. A bit too much red onion in the dishes we ordered: Papaya Salad, Coconut Escolar Ceviche, and the Shrimp Lahb... the Fried Whole Prawns were good, but not exceptional. The Shrimp Lahb was not spicy enough. Honestly the chicken wings and the ribs looked really good, but I do not eat warm blooded creatures. So this is not a whole encompassing review, only limited to the items we ordered.
