    Unfortunately, the food here was sadly lacking. The other reviews were right that the rice here is too hard. Not because it was undercooked, but because it was the cheap local poor quality rice that had been left sitting for too long until it started to dry. We ordered takeaway and could only order a limited selection. One of the dishes we ordered was the minced chicken basil with rice. The chicken was too heavy handed on the fish sauce so the whole thing just came out tasting pungent and so salty that no amount of gravelly rice could temper. What's worse was because the rice was served together, all the sauce had been soaked up, so the (still-hard) rice now tasted like dehydrated fish sauce pellets. We had also ordered the grilled chicken, which was grilled all right, just again, the marinade was way too salty. Luckily the dipping sauce (salty, spicy and pungent) was packed separately so we could limit how much we took. For noodles, we had the pad see ew, which was basically stir fried kway tiaow. And it sure tasted like it. Out of all the dishes we tried, this was the best. No, that sounds too complimentary. It was the least awful. Mainly because it wasn't too salty and just tasted like an edible serving of kway tiaow, similar to the ones you can get at a typical open house buffet. Lastly, we tried the beef balls. No idea why they put this labelled as "Legend". Not unless they mean this is legendarily bad. Because I can happily eat frozen meatballs and those cheap mass produced ones and be satisfied. But these were hard. And full of gristle. And had an odd beefy-plasticky aftertaste. We each tried valiantly to chew on, but after a while we just spat them out. Good only if you want a bovine-tasting piece of chewing gum. So yes, overall I cannot say I'd revisit this place. Service is so-so, workers are as helpful as the bare minimum effort can produce. But the food... that was shockingly bad. Not sure if it is because I had ordered the wrong dishes, or because it was only a bad experience in this branch. Maybe the boat noodles would be nicer? I may give this chain another chance, but unlikely from this particular outlet.

    Sat right in front of cashier. No one bother to entertain me. No waiters in sight., I think they are hiding. Then I went to cashier said I would like to order to eat in. So he asked me a stupid question asking if I've eaten or not. Duh. I mean is he blind no to see me seating there for sometime. I just left. You lost a customer and I will never return to any boat noodle. You pay peanuts to staff you get monkey staff

    After long time didn't come here, I thought there will be improvement. Yet it worsen. Food portion become less (Kra Pow Chicken Rice). Previously memang banyak. Then makin sikit. Stop coming sebab kecewa. Then today trying to give a chance sebab ingat ada improvement . Its a no no. Not recommended at all. Portion (4 suap je dah hbs nasi) 😂. What a joke. Before this air RM7.90. After gst mansuh jdi rm8 😂. This place maybe ana instagrammable place but the food is a waste of money .Hahaha. Will be the last time coming here. 👎👎👎👎👎👎

    I have stopped patronising any Boat Noodle for a few years, due to dropping food quality. Decided to come to this branch today with a tiny glimmer of hope they might have improved. Result? This will be my last time. My noodles was served either barely warm or served cold. Such a depressing meal.

    Have been here several times. Nice food. As a Thai, I enjoy the noodles' soup, especially Pathumthani soup. I also love the lemongrass drink here. The omelette was, however, too oily for my liking. Meatballs are tasty but a bit overpriced. Meat and chicken pieces in the noodle used to be slightly bigger. The service is good though. I really appreciate that.

    Inconsistent serving. They will make you wait for a long time, the quantity and quality is not worth the price.

    Just ordered ratchada dulang combo with krapow chicken rice, sangkaya & thai green tea & ice lemon tea. Everything is terrible including the drinks. Salty food. Not worth the money paid.

    Service was fast but food so-so only. The chicken wing is pathetically small..
