Had a visit for my wife's birthday on Sunday. first impression we had was a small family restaurant. that's fine! we sat down and starting going through the menu. we waited and waited and waited.....we called them over but had to wait a few more minutes.
anyway, we ordered hoping to eat soon as we had waited days for this meal!
Long story short, the quality of the food was very low, Service very slow and we had to pay for the food we did not eat.
We asked if the crab was over-cooked or it was not fresh? He replied "I still have to charge you for it, we cook these all the time"
Don't bother eating there even if money is not an issue or live close by.
The food quality is deteriating. Nothing near to Vietnamese Pho Mi
I have been occasionally to this restaurant and I find that its food quality is deteriating. $7 for a bowl of noodle with little meat that is unfresh. It is nothing near the quality of Pho noodle that is more generously portioned and with more value for money.

I haven't had any Thai food on the menu, but why are you ordering Thai food here?
I wish them great success here!
Food is way too overpriced for the amount of ingredients included in the dishes. For example, the hei mee dish(which is translated to be shrimp noodles), only included 3 pieces of shrimp!!! A shrimp dish, should include MORE than 5 pieces! I would actually get more out of my money from ordering a shrimp dish from red lobster. Both of the other dishes also had very little ingredients. Service was average.
the food at lion city restaurant is VERY delicious!! the waitress's very nice! the food is very fresh. satay chicken is my favourite food there. YUM YUM in my TUM TUM!!!!!!!
