WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
The food was decent but could’ve been more flavorful. Some dishes, like the fish and pork, were slightly overcooked and dry. The banquet relied heavily on fillers—potato salad, bread, and rice—leaving us feeling shortchanged on protein and variety.
Service was a mixed bag. While food came out rapidly (we were in and out in about an hour), drink service lagged behind. It took around 10 minutes to flag down a server for a drink order, and my wine didn’t arrive until I was already halfway through the main course.
Overall, the experience felt overpriced for a local spot. We’d recommend Chiki Chan for couples, where the pricing makes more sense, but larger groups may find the portions and overall value lacking. Greater flexibility with the menu and more thoughtful portion scaling would significantly improve the experience.
Service: One word bizarre. We were sat promptly but then told we need to order food immediately and told to prioritize it before drinks (8.45pm booking). We then ordered our drinks which we were then told would be a delay (20mins) due to staffing. I then changed my drink to a beer and was told that would still be as long. I went back to the original drink and they arrived in mins. Next the burata came out and was told it is better to eat with the bread but you can have it without as they bread was not provided. The food was also pumped out as it appeared the wanted to shut the kitchen down.
