Greeted by friendly staff and was advised to sit indoors due to flies. However, we did not encounter any flies throughout dinner. We Didn't have to wait long for the food and they tasted yummy and fresh. Overall a much better dining option than Warung Yeah with a long waiting time, small portions, higher food prices and a noisy environment during peak periods.

Good food at very reasonable price! Crab (small portion) at fixed price of IDR 200K before tax!! Taste is ok but first time I paid fixed price for crab... Usually it's based on weight of crab.

A quaint restaurant that serves wonderful and delicious food! At first glance, the restaurant may not look like much, but we had one of our best dinner there! The salted egg sotong was good! Requested for less salt overall, and the chef did it well! Food was flavourful! Service was great too! Highly recommend!

June 2025 - Friendly and attentive staff who answer questions about the menu etc. - Food was served reasonably quickly despite being rather busy and crowded. - Ate there a few days during my stay. - Personal favourites included the Tom Yam seafood soup, chicken satay, shrimp omelette, pineapple fried rice. - Among the restaurants and cafes in the Lagoi area, I think this is one of the better ones. - Even came back for ice cream when one of the ice cream bars closed early; the boss explained his ice cream freezer was topped up only every Tuesday with new stock. - They have an attached mini-mart beside, and was convenient to buy bottle water, snacks and soft drinks.

Humble hidden gem beloved by the locals. We enjoyed flavorful and delicious soul food there, including smoky seafood noodles and - of course - chili crabs! Value for money is very good, too!

Homey and delicious food options. Our family of 8 had several options, everything was nice. The 3 that stood out of were smash chicken (ayam penyet), ayam bakar (grill chicken) and vegetarian mie goreng with mushroom sauce (savory noodles). They were all very nice and approachable. We tried several restaurants, this was the best one for us here in lagoi bay^^,
