10/10 would recommend!! The sweetest owners and the best food - highly recommend the prawn toast, spring rolls & vegetarian fried rice!

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.
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.
