Feedback
The food was satisfactory, but I've experienced better at other Malaysian restaurants. The portion sizes were generous, though the prices felt a bit steep. The service was commendable, but the kitchen seemed to be struggling. The ambiance was average; the rock music didn’t quite match the Malaysian theme—80s disco would have been a more fitting choice.
Excellent food at a fair cost. Pan Asian food more than Malaysian. Some of our favorites are the drunken noodles, three chili chicken, Mongolian beef, mango chicken, lamb redang. Their sesame chicken, general tsos chicken and orange chicken are also excellent. Can't go wrong with most items.
Serai was a nice surprise. The menu covers many Asian cuisines. When I dined, there was a decent crowd for a Thursday night. Service was attentive. The food was very good. The Sersi martini had a nice Asian twist. I would definitely return.
