Thanks Ricky for a lovely meal, great food at a great price. Fresh juices were a highlight and so were the satay sticks. Would recommend to everyone, caters for families which was great for us.

This is in a small parade of cafe/restaurants and we had sweet & sour chicken which was good but not exceptional. Preferred the two restaurants next door!

great seafood, price was okay. Don't seat directly under fan, as the food will be cold very quick...

I preferred the living room, due to atmosphere and food quality. Nothing to dislike realistically. The service was good, the staff very nice.

Good food, fair prices for the area. Not as cheap as the food courts but the setting is slightly more upmarket, but not smart and costly. Chatty host. Serves beer which not all do for religious reasons.

Ricky, wife and family were lovely! Very welcoming and made us dinner or lunch at whatever time of day which is good to know as Guan Guan is one of the few restuarants open during lunchtime unless you want KFC! Ricky's daughter and wife showed us how to cook Beef Rendang which was FABULOUS! Beer is always cold and the... More
