While I haven't had much Malaysian or Indonesian cuisine before, I have a feeling that Anthony Bourdain would have enjoyed eating here. The chicken is chopped bone-in and the dumplings are made fresh to order, served with gochujang slaw as a garnish. Everything I have tried at Sago has been made with care and attention. Despite opening in 2019 and facing the challenges of the pandemic, the restaurant has managed to survive mainly on takeout orders. Many customers still choose to enjoy their food to go, so if you decide to dine in, be prepared to wait a bit as your order may not be first in line. The restaurant has a bright and welcoming storefront atmosphere, making it a pleasant spot to watch the Mt Lookout neighborhood pass by.

I would give this restaurant six stars if I could! The broths were excellent and my crispy pork belly was cooked perfectly. We can't wait to dine here again! read more I would give this restaurant six stars if I could! The broths were excellent and my crispy pork belly was cooked perfectly.

The food is always fresh, delicious, authentic and reasonably priced.Chef Paul is so nice that when I requested a dish that wasn't on the menu, he offered to make it for me.I recommend beef rendang. It was voted the world's best food and rightfully so. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!
