"Love it, love a great Asian cafe. Well this is an awesome Asian restaurant. From the first mouth full to the final morsels the tastes were wonderful. Upstairs feels so exclusive with many round tables for a much better dining experience. And for those who prefer to bring their own wine it's BYO. They also have their own wine if required."

"I'm sad to relate this as this was a standout restaurant for me. I feel sorry for the upstairs staff (1 server) as she was clearly run off her feet. Service was slow to the point of being silly. One entree, one drink and two mains took about an hour and a half - an hour to get a serve of dim sims. They were no standout - not awful but not great. But the saddest part was the flavour of the duck - I had great memories of hot, flavoursome, fresh duck from my last visit (we had been there many times before and always great, but it's been about a year) but we got Luke warm, tired, tasteless, slimy (my wife's description) bird. Also, the only other main- the pad thai noodles were overcooked. Seems to be a pattern for restaurants and it's sad to experience. In case there's any mistake about this, I'm the older guy who gave the lady at the till this very feedback live. I hope you can do better. You were a great restaurant and I hope you can find this again. Russ"

"Update: 06/01/2023 I went to Kerabu with a friend again. I felt like having fish this time and asked recommendation from the staff there. She recommended Gulai Ikan as I said I would like to have something more like Malaysian style. The fish was very well cooked with nice curry flavor. Again in large portion. Initially, my friend thought $45 was too expensive for a fish dish, but after he saw the portion and had the food, he is 100% convinced it’s value for money and he’s listed Kerabu as the restaurant he will take his mom to. - original- Loved Char Kway Teow, chicken Satay and duck curry. All in large portions. The staffs were nice and friendly. Will go there again!"

"Absolutely delicious Thai food that is impeccably cooked. Great balance of flavours and well thought out menu items. Next time I go I will probably ask for more spice/chili but this time while I was with parents it was ok! Stand outs were the whole fried Nam phrik snapper and the red duck curry and the prawns with avocado dish. Lovely service and great being BYO as well :)"

"Delicious South East Asian cuisine We got the last table for four after numerous attempts at making a reservation and were therefore looking forward to the visit with anticipation. The food was delicious and the service reasonably good given how packed the venue was. Be warned that the sizes of the dishes are pretty big. Despite our reservations, we ordered an additional dish on the advise of the waiter and found that we had way too much food. The dishes were tasty and authentic, the highlight of course being the Malay salad that the restaurant was named after. Made with really fresh "greens" and topped off with a nicely balance hot, sweet and sour dressing, their Kerabu was delicious. The dishes we ordered were reminiscent of the local food found on the border of Malaysia and Thailand which makes sense why a restaurant named after a Malay salad would be list under Thai cuisine. Kerabu is certainly on our recommended list if you are after good authentic South East Asian cuisine."
