As our dinner progressed, we encountered a significant service lapse. One of the dishes we ordered was completely forgotten, leaving us waiting for an extended period. Upon inquiry, we were informed that the order had not been input into the system, leading to a frustrating delay. While the staff apologized for the error, it significantly disrupted our dining experience.

Despite the service hiccup, the attentive staff managed to salvage the situation to some extent. and their overall demeanor remained apologetic and helpful.

One of the better non-halal Thai restaurants in Jakarta. Staff are friendly, responsive and attentive though they are busy. Lunch time on weekdays is quite packed. Food was delicious though some dishes are a little on the salty side. Green curry was good, there’s a selection of beef, chicken and pork. We had a green curry pork. Crab cake was alright, wish that it has more crab meat taste, and thinner batter. The prawn tom yum soup is good. Another dish we enjoyed is the brinjal with minced pork, it’s flavourful. If you like brinjal that’s not too soft, this would the kind of brinjal dish. And the pineapple fried rice was delicious. Butterfly pea drink was not overly sweet, but if there’s a choice to have it warm or hot, it would be great. Interior is refreshing with a hint of Thai...

One of the waiters was very rude. Definitely need more training. The food took so long to come and when we complained that it was already 30 minutes, instead of expediting the service, the waiter argued about the technicality that it haven't took 30 minutes. It might or might not took 30 minutes but definitely took so long for only a fried rice to be served. Instead of apologizing, the waiter decided to argue whether or not it actually took 30 minutes :)

And when the food came, it was not at all warm.

Waiter, you know who you are.

Despite the fact that I like their foods (other than the warm temperature fried rice), definitely not coming back to this place and would not recommend any of my acquaintances...
