The menu was too limited. The food was bland and so ordiary it was forgetable. They sat us in a corner in front of shutters which allowed a cold draught to come through. The restaurant felt crammped and cluttered. Reminded me of a chinese fortune tellers booth I visited in KL.

Service is quick and friendly and food packed with flavour. Great atmosphere in a busy and popular restaurant. This is the second time I've been there when they have started cleaning up and closing off sections at 9.30 ( ahead of the scheduled closing at 10pm), so don't expect to be allowed to linger.

Rendang Beef was tough - overpriced for mediocre food and service - not surprised it was empty when it's adjacent competition - a Thai restaurant had a queue out the door!

The food is always great although I would love to see some specials on the menu occasionally - we eat there regularly and the menu doesnt change much over time (or at all) - small matter though, we love the place!

I feel the food was not as tasty as it used to be. But entree was fabulous. Chicken satay was a hit! Service was very good. Food was served pretty quickly. We just felt the mains were bland.

The Vibe lives up to it name 'Mood for love", price is reasonable, service is appropriate (not too interfering) and food is good. Can't ask for more. I have booked to revisit in another fortnight!

Chinta Ria is a nice little place to go for a nice lunch. The food is varied and interesting. The menu is a bit confusing - it's a "film script" type thing. I wish they'd simplify it. I've been there 6-8 times. Staff are friendly and accommodating. I would say it's a favorite restaurant.

Fantastic meal. Had the $55 banquet, was happy the servings weren't huge which was perfect. The desert included a durian dish which was surprisingly delicious. Would go again to explore the menu.

We had a lovely birthday lunch here in the little room up a couple of stairs. It is like being in someone's home with soft light shades and music. The food was delicious and the cocktails were also. We will certainly go again!

The food was good - particularly the spicy spicy squid which was very tender. They did their best with the ambience, considering they are located in a shopping centre. I would go back.

The food here is really great. The authenticity of the ingredients and presentation and flavours is refreshing and surprising. If you are new to Malaysian food it will be a total treat. The only reason i held back giving a 100% positive score, is that the tables are so small we had to have two of our dishes rest on a stool which was a little bit cumbersome for a pretty high end restaurant.

Great place for a casual lunch or dinner. Convenient location in the middle of Pitt Street Mall. Tables are small and the place is squishy and always busy - definitely have to book. Ambience is very relaxed - dim lights - extensive menu with GF and vegetarian options. Service is very efficient. Food generally is quite good but the scallops were very ordinary - 3 to the plate, very small, no flavor at all. They'd run out of duck - have had it before and its lovely. Beef rendang was spicy and little or no fat, prawn curry was very good and barramundi was excellent. Great wine list. Definitely recommend. Good value for money

Sunday lunch with a friend. Entrees of scallops, prawn rolls and chicken rolls delicious but I think our mains (beef rending and duck) had been waiting for a while as they were lukewarm and not as good as they should have been. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere otherwise.
