Not so good: "We came here on Friday night. This place is located on a pretty quite street and you kind of need to know that it is there before going there.
The interior design is fine but does not look so real, sometimes I felt it is a little bit too busy. The four tables situated around the bamboo tree in the middle makes it hard for the inside table to gain outside access. I think they try to squeeze in many tables in a small place.
We ordered the Roti Prata which I have to say pretty good because it's deep-fried with a lot of oil. If you have only two people going, i think ordering the small one is enough. We also ordered some rolls and those are the one I think I have wasted so much money. It's only 3 vegetarian eggroll and they cost like 6 dollars!! For this, I think they are too expensive. For some reasons, I found the egg-roll at Cosco taste even better than these eggrolls.
Most of the main entres are pretty expensive themselves except for noodles most of them were above $12 or so for small portion.
I ordered For Fun *sorry if I spelled it incorrectly* and I have to say it's a mistake. I would never order this dish again if I came back here. It's more like Fried Chinese Noodles in more or less egg soups without a lot of flavor. It tasted pretty bland without any memorable spices.
My friend order the Salmon curry. The fish was not very fresh and left me with an after taste. The curry has a lot of oil in it and again, this one does not have a lot of curry flavor either. If you eat with rice, the rice will have more flavor than the curry.
Japanese green tea comes in a tea bag!
I don't know how Authentic this place is, but I am always afraid of coming to places saying they are authentic in many different ethnic groups. It just doesn't sound very right."

online menu does not match actual menu: For those of us who are vegetarians, it was a little disappointing to see that the online menu (which had a number of vegetarian entrees) does not reflect what is on the menu at the restaurant (which does not have as many veg entrees).
Besides that, some of the dishes were a little funky. I ordered a fried tofu dish and had a very unusual (and unpleasant) flavor. The green bean-tofu dish was good and reminded me of a Thai curry. The other main problem here was that the rice side-dish was extremely tiny (about 6 oz.) and expensive ($1.50); luckily, my eating companion did not want her rice so I had enough, but you shouldn't rely on that :-).
