We enjoyed a late lunch here one day. For non locals it was a bit confusing. But it's essentially a buffet - a really cheap buffet. We took some food and ordered a cold drink and they charged us very little money for it. A fun kind of family atmosphere.

We were looking for good thai inspired seafood and this was the top result... It was delicious but some dishes were a miss... We had tom yum (good!), chicken masak merah (good!), grilled squid (super good!), Lemon steamed sea bass (good!), Lala Lada (sauce good, clams weren't fresh), Kailan (good), Chap Chye (meh), Durian Pulut (GOOD!)As with the Kelantanese palate, food was a tad too sweet for us sugar conscious Singaporeans but the spiciness made up for it... Definitely comes recommend... Just lower expectations and you'll be blown away... Oh yes, clean place eventhough its technically roadside and minimal roaming cats!

Night Market

Reviewed By melissa990

After being in Kota Bharu 18years ago, we returned and very disappointed to see not only the night market venue had moved but also decreased in size and severely lacking the vibrant atmosphere that made it so special. There are still a number of stalls around selling usual local fare and at least we were able to have our long awaited murtabak pisang (banana murtabak). That did not disappoint and was glad to see it was still one of the most popular stalls.Not many places to sit and eat unless you buy food or drinks from the places under cover with seating.Generally an ok place, but wouldn't be rushing to go back.

I dined here once during my stay in Kota Bharu last January-2018.It was a very satisfying dining experience.This is a Chinese restaurant and the choice of food was quiye extensive.The food arrived hot to the table and was very appetising..I encountered only one problem-service was rather slow and lunch,which should have taken,say,one hour,took considerably longer....Nevertheless the food was very appetising and I am happy to give this place 9 out of 10.
