“ I had the opportunity to try this restaurant with some friends recently, and I was really impressed with the food! I ordered the penang curry with chicken and it came out relatively quickly. It tasted really, really delicious and the portion size was good for the price. The views of the lake were nice and the restaurant atmosphere was pleasant. The service was friendly and professional. I hope I can return someday! ”
“ Local gem . We just love coming here!!! Travel 45 min to enjoy the amazing dishes. Some of them captured but many options available. Family restaurant always see the same people when we visit. Beautiful water views and sometimes you can see gators. Thank you for your awesomeness. Your hard work is appreciated. ”
“ It was very packed, and it was well deserved. The food quality was amazing with a great number of choices alongside a beautiful view of a lake. I tried their boba tea for the first time in ever, and it allowed me to enjoy the drink as a first-timer. I had a seafood curry, which was perfectly made without an overwhelming amount of spiciness, basically made perfect. My crewmate had a delicious bowl that was made with delicious garlic, I don't remember what the name of the item is, but trying some of it was awesome too. I'd love to invite some more friends over to give this experience a try, especially with the variety of choices they provide. ”
“ Nice place. Great atmosphere. Friendly people. We ordered Crab Rangoon, Volcano Roll, Combination Fried Rice, Four Season from the Pan Asian Specials, and Mai Tai for drinks. Amazing food, very tasty and good portions. The only issue is that the servers need to be more organized. But they are very nice. We are coming back. ”
“ Delicious food, beautiful view, and exceptional service. We sat on the back patio with our dog and enjoyed a yummy lunch of summer rolls, Penang curry, and the Vietnamese rice vermicelli bowl. Our waitress is a member of the family who has owned this restaurant for over 30 years, and her love for the place was clear! Highly recommend if you’re passing through Gainesville. ”
“ The food is amazing. I got the oxtail soup and my friend got the pho and shrimp appetizer. The portions are large. Certainly enough for at least 2 to share. The weather was great so we sat outside and enjoyed the view of the alligators. ”
“ What a stroke of luck. Wide selection of Asian items. We had Panang curry and an Asian salad. You could come here every day for a month and not order the se thing twice. Nice Malay decor with a nice view of the lake. ”
“ This place had such a good quality with all foods that we ordered and a very nice view. Unless the weather is super humid and hot, I recommend sitting outside. Foods we ordered came out pretty fast and they all tasted great. The price was reasonable, thus, overall very satisfied. Would definitely comeback. ”
