"Food are delicious & service was fast. However, the place for handwashing needs to be improved. One sink, there was no soap at all, the other - very diluted soap provided. This is a post pandemic times, I believe eateries should provide basic amenities so customer could maintain hygiene and cleanliness effectively."

"Everything great apart from the river smell and no fan at some seating area. The waitress was very kind to move us to another table with fan (rearranged table to fit 10 people). Good food and prices. Seafood quiet fresh, you can choose which one you want."

"We usually eat 3person for only RM17 - grilled beef, ulam, Tempe, sayur. I really like grilled beef here - taste like satay. I must say I'm satisfied with the taste and price and sometimes I found it cheaper than other places. You can find varieties of ulam here and the sambal belacan really superb together. Yes If you are a seafood lover this place might be the heaven for you. I saw a lot of fish but I'm not sure what kind of fish. The curry is delicious and I also like Tempe ikan bilis- crispy and well seasoned. The place can be considered dirty but not that it smells or what (grade B) - I can just say that the cleanliness can be improved. The food is delicious and I also think that the should improve the lighting here-dull."

"The best place to enjoy perfect bbq fish by the river. The marinade of the fish is good and the doneness is perfect. Do pair it with cuttlefish and beef to enjoy the experience to the fullest."

"You can select the fishes (and poultry, beef, squid, etc) for them to cook in any dishes. Wide selection of fresh ingredients. They have free flow of ulams."

"Food here is quite good and I liked it. There's also a variety of dishes to choose from and the ikan Bakar is really nice. The service is also fast and the setting is ala Kampung. Therefore it is quite hot as there's only fan but overall still nice. Parking is plenty but it's a paid parking lot and it's located beside a Sungai."

"Fresh ikan bakar and so far the best grilled fish I have ever eaten. You will not find this kind of ikan bakar that coated with delicious sauce. You must also try their daging bakar that is super juicy and tender, full of flavor. Apart from that, try their air asam and kerabu tauge & kerang. I have some friends from KL that never miss to drop by this place whenever they get the chance to come to Kedah."
