I got a regular mixed HSP with cheese and the holy trinity. There were a few people before me, so the wait was about 10 minutes, which I didn't mind. The staff were friendly and the shop was very clean. The HSP itself though... the chips were freshly cooked, but the meat was a bit cold. The HSP was mainly filled with chips, and only a thin layer of meat over the top. For $23.95 with a can of drink, I expected a more generous meat to chip ratio. If there was more meat on it next time, I would return again. Overall, not too bad, but could improve.
10/10 would recommend!! The sweetest owners and the best food - highly recommend the prawn toast, spring rolls & vegetarian fried rice!

The ambience of the restaurant was excellent, and the service was quite good. However, the food was somewhat underwhelming. While they offered complimentary prawn crackers, which was a nice touch, the coconut rice was overly sweet in comparison to the other dishes. I also ordered a prawn specialty that was recommended in the menu (I can't recall the exact name), but I found it overly salty and not particularly special.
The overall dining experience wasn't terrible, but it seemed like a matter of personal preference. The combination of sweet coconut rice with the salty and creamy prawn curry made for a less than satisfying meal. On the positive side, the Thai fried rice was delicious, and the Penang chicken curry had a distinct, rich flavor, though it was quite thick and heavy.
In summary, the restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere at an affordable price. Perhaps if I had chosen different dishes, my experience would have been more enjoyable.
