  • "The atmosphere was also really nice."
  • "Ambience decent and music lovely."
  • "Music good not too loud."
  • "The atmosphere is warm, there's music played in the background so conversations are not drowned out."
  • "Very nice place, beautiful atmosphere and their cocktails are to die for!"

Cons:

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Food was fabulous."
  • "The food and drinks here is top tier!! I had duck and rice with veggies and it was so delicious, the flavours, how tender the duck was, the rice! Everything made sense!"
  • "The food was decent, tasty and good size portions."
  • "The food was tasty and portions were decent some of the main dishes can serve 2 and side dish is suitable for 1."
  • "I had the Duck and Rice, absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection and so flavoursome too."
  • "Food was amazing. Loved my prawn chow mien and katsu prawns."
  • "The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch."

Cons:

  • "All the food was either poorly cooked or under-seasoned or both. (Badly overcooked salmon, greasy starters, and unseasoned pork were the standouts.)"
  • "The food was alright, some dishes were better tasting than others but I don't think it was entirely worth a second visit."
  • "The food was not nice, we ordered what’s supposed to be chilli prawns and what we got wasn’t spicy, was wet and tasted Thai even tho the menu didn’t say so."
  • "Food was very mediocre. There was a infestation of red fruit flys everywhere! It put me off the food."
  • "The food was disgusting, obviously not freshly cooked as it was ready 5 minutes after ordering."
  • "Food was also overpriced and basically served us peanuts (small portions) for the money we were paying."
  • "However, I did not enjoy the food. I am only giving it a 2 star for the vegetables spring rolls. I also feel the price of the food was expensive for very little."

Service

Pros:

  • "Ordering was done online via scanning QR code which a lot of places are doing to minimise contact, which I appreciate."
  • "I would recommend good clean place."
  • "Would definitely recommend, not just the food but the vibes alone from the security guard would make me come back and tell my friends."
  • "After reading reviews online I was pretty skeptical. However, I was greeted on arrival by a pleasant manager."
  • "Had my first experience of Satay Bar but it won't be my last excellent food, drinks and service especially from the three young ladies I mentioned to the Manager."
  • "The staff are super helpful and nice..."
  • "The staff are very helpful and friendly too they couldn't help enough."

Cons:

  • "The server was so rude, like I can't send back food."
  • "Waiter was walking up and down the restaurant area and looking at us, as we were quite clearly ready to order and did nothing until our fourth prompt."
  • "The service was a bit slow as only one person was taking all the orders."
  • "We left without even getting our food, or an explanation of what even happened after 2 and a half hours of being there."
  • "Will never come back, and if you do decide to go- BEWARE OF MARIA."
  • "DON'T COME HERE!!! The service is so so bad. I waited 40 MINUTES to get served for a drink, no one acknowledged me, didn't apologise for the wait, didn't even say hi!"
  • "The staff were so disinterested, rude and downright lazy."
