Itâs in amongst about a dozen restaurants on the waterfront and all basically accessible by walking through tables through each of the restaurants. Not a brilliant experience.Also, youâre crammed up against other restaurants, so the âambienceâ is a tad mixed and to be fair, the smell of the sea isnât the best either.Service was good but not excellent.Menu was ok, not brilliantly varied and your typical mix of pasta, pizza and other Italian come Spanish fare.The food quality was quite good and the drinks werenât too bad either.Decent value as well, but a better menu choice, better lighting and better access would be needed to get to a 4 rating.Iâm sure that there are better places on the front.

Was recommended by friends, not very impressed. Tot will have some exciting dish, but nothing special. Drinks are so so. Bangers n mash, homemade sausages are hard n dry. Chicken schnitzel just normal...to be honest, not an outlet I will return. Hey ST,Thanks for dropping by with the family last Sunday and writing a review for us on TripAdvisor. Apologies as we were not able to impress you on your visit as both the savoury dishes you ordered were definitely tricky ones. For the home-made chicken sausages, we insist on using 100% chicken meat with no tenderisers or preservatives hence it would definitely be on the dryer side compared to store-bought ones or pork alternatives (which contains much more fat and flavors). As for the chicken schnitzel, we do agree that it is a simple and normal dish which we started off as a December special last year but decided to keep it because some of our regulars and kids enjoyed the simplicity of it. If we were to recommend you exciting dishes, all of our signature rice bowls especially our Chiu's Beef Rice Bowl are our all time best-sellers and personal favourite, followed by several pastas such as the Chiu's Pesto Chicken Spaghetti and Creamy Bacon and Pumpkin Spaghetti, all of which are original and unique recipes we developed and pride ourselves with.As for the Colombian filter coffee you have ordered, it is actually one of our favourite coffees this year that we have worked with hence we recommended that to you. It is very unfortunate that you didn't enjoy it, serving us as a reminder that we definitely need to improve on recommending filter coffees to first-time customers such as yourself.Again, we are most devastated to hear that Chiu's is not an outlet that you would return as we understand first time experiences matter the most. Our business is developed upon serving honest food and beverage whilst providing hospitality by building long-term relationships with customers. In this case, we have failed to show it to you and your family, but we will continue to improve on that. =)Best,Eugene

Recommended by friends...recommended by TripAdvisor reviews....best dim sum in kk?..It's ok, don't get me wrong...due to the facts that they probably don't use much msg and salt in their cooking. But best dim sum probably not...Even the grab driver said he can recommend some place better.....Seems to be popular with the locals though as at 8am it was getting full...

Well it was ok but it's only at the top of Trip Adviser because it is relatively cheap and yet hygienically safe. I had rice with chicken, sesame and orange. I could not taste the sesame but orange with chicken is a brilliant combo. The trouble is I felt lots of chicken bits were parts I would never normally eat. I classify it under emergency hungry and it was quite good but depressingly spartan.
