A new western food restaurant popped up under my block a month ago. From what I see after staying in this area for 18 years, this unit's tenants come and go each year. So I decided to give it a try and see if it's going to stay for good.I popped in around lunch time, just in time for their set lunch promo. Ordered a grilled chicken for myself and grilled pork for my dad. The lunch promo is $10 nett for each set, and it comes with a main course, soup and drink. I say it's an ok price for a set meal at a neighbourhood restaurant. Without the promo, it cost $10 for the cheapest main course; something which I think is a little overpriced. Variety of food is decent (about 10+), but only 6 dishes is offered as set meals.

Service is prompt and service crews are friendly. Ambience wasn't fantastic at all with just white walls, a wall picture, post it notes and Ikea furniture. I was mildly delighted when they served up their soup of the day, something that wasn't cream of mushroom, or cream-of-something, like what other western restaurants normally serve up. I didn't remember the name of the soup, but it had lots of onions in it, and tasted ok.

The grilled chicken was very well marinated, and the flavour was right, but it was a bit too salty. The texture of the meat was soft and juicy. The mashed potato was one of the best I ever tasted. The white cream sauce complimented the mashed potato very well. Vegetables in the side salad were average with ordinary fresh vegetables.

I like it when I don't get to choose what sauce to go with my food when I’m eating at a western restaurant. First, it stops me from picking black pepper sauce over everything else, and secondly, it tells me the chef knows exactly what sauce will go best with the food served. I had a pleasant surprise when I tasted their grilled pork and had wine sauce! It was something special and it tasted great!

In conclusion, the food was good, and it's best to take advantage of their set lunch offer. I would come to this restaurant again to try other specials on the menu.

Whenever I'm at Ion Orchard and I needed a meal, I will always make my way to Watami, but not this time. Someone recommended that we try out this Chinese Restuarant, and it's probably good cause I have my 92 year old grandma with me, who prefers everything Chinese.

Service was fairly good. I was served only after enquiry, and allocated a seat next to the service counter. I suppose that is why service is always fast and efficient. Even when the service counter is that close, refilling of tea was still slow, with most of the time, an empty pot sits on the table. However, ordering wasn't a problem. Service crew did recommend some of their special dishes and desert, but I won't consider that hard selling yet.Ordered quite a handful of dishes. The first one being the Crab meat fried rice & salted fish fried rice. The crab meat fried rice had a rather common seafood taste. Nothing special, but also not awful tasting. You should also know that crab meat is scarce in this dish. As for the salted fish fried rice, it felt rather oily, and it lacked salted fish in the rice, but at least it tasted quite good. Price was rather high ranging between $12 to $14.80. They only serve small portions, and the portion is lesser than what you will see at a typical zi char stall.The next dish is dumpling noodles. The noodles and the sauce was very well done. Definately one of the best dumpling noodles I've tasted. The noodles are very Q, but so much that it's hard to break the noodles by biting, and I ended up slurping up a whole chunk of noodle. At $7.30 for a plate, I consider that a good price for something this good. The next dish is a grouper head chopped into many pieces, cooked in dark sauce and tofu. Like most fish head, there are lots of bones in this one. The meat, which is quite soft and smooth, had soaked up the sauce pretty well, and the taste was just right.The next dish is deep fried nan ru pork ribs. It's a popular cantonese dish, but unfortunately, it wasn't prepared as well. I could hardly taste the "nan ru" taste in the pork. But good job on the deep frying. It wasn't very oily, and they managed to lock in the juices in the pork. However, I consider this very expensive because $14 only gets 4 pieces, with a heck load of bone.

There was other dishes that we ordered such as deserts and the roasted duck, which was well done, and worth trying. Overall, 8 of us spent $188, which was slightly high for an average restaurant. If I were to come again, I'll take the dumpling noodles for sure. =)

This is my 3rd or 4th time visiting Javier's and probably coming back for more.

Their signature fill the plate for $8.90 nett is what keeps me coming. If you're an average eater, 3 person can easy share one plate full and still have balance. Work that out, and each person pays about $3. Where else can you eat till you're bloated, and only pay $3 in orchard road?

Unless Swensen's salad buffet, the selection here has strictly no meat. What you see are individual food, such as corn, vegetables, potato salad, pasta, potato wedges, and CHEEZE POWDER! Best of all, it comes with a soup (soup has chicken in it).

For the taste I would say it's good. The salad is fresh and the fried stuff isn't soggy. Potato salad is a must try for those who love this dish, because it's one of the best in town, comparable with pasta mania's.

During this visit, I went with a vegan and we have a great time sharing this plate of food. Total bill adds up to less than $20 with drinks, and it's a real great deal.

Visted Rang Mahal Pavilion for a mother's day dinner. Had their dinner set meal and it was fairly priced for a fine dining restaurant.

The ambience was great, cozy and not very bright.
The first course of the set meal was a piece of fish, prawn and chicken. I was wow-ed by the taste instantly. Everything was just right.
Then came a vegetable soup, which was alright, since vegetable wasn't really my cup of tea.
The main course comprises of 3 different curry, served with rice, and some bread. The portion was generous and the taste is unlike the usual curry that we had before, but it was a taste that we enjoyed.
Lastly, there was an ice cream to finish the meal, and it was perfect all the way to the last bit.

Service was fantastic with the service crew explaining in detail of the food, and they were very attentive.

If you have some extra cash for some fine dining, this is one place you might want to consider.
