I am shocked when I see this restaurant occupying the top spot in Alor Setar restaurant at the time of writing. I have a feeling they have let it get to their head and became arrogant. During our visit, the food was decent quality but...everything else about this dining experience was deplorable. We arrived as a family with four adults and three children ranging from 3 to 12 year old. We were served by a male waiter who was clearly a bit inexperienced at recommending the best dishes (there’s no printed menu so everything is verbal), so we took a little while to decide while we discussed with him. The female waitress (?owner) got frustrated, came to our table and rushed us to finalise the order in very annoyed tone. Mind you we weren’t taking forever, we took at most 5 minutes. When the food were finally served, the first dish “sizzling stuffed tofu” (铁板豆腐)was not a sizzling version on a metal plate, but a regular tofu with gravy on plastic plate. When we clarified, she gave a lame defence of “oh we can’t use a metal plate cause it’s sticky” - however this simply means we have been sold a different dish than we were sold. When a second dish was served, she went on a further rant / castigation of us being bad at ordering, as we apparently ordered all “non standard” dishes so expect the dishes to be less good. In all my year of dining this is the first time we have been accused of “ordering wrongly”. What a ridiculous attitude by that mean waitress / owner. To add insult to injury, when the bill came we were shocked by how much higher priced it is compared to other similar restaurants in town. We paid 180 for four adults and three children, with a dish of 8 prawns priced at 70, steamed fish at 50 and tofu at 18, all of which are unheard of for Alor Setar. I will watch with interest how well this restaurant does if the operator keeps up such attitude and pricing structure.More

My wife and I stopped at RT in Alor Setar for a lunch on our way to Thailand. The owner recommended the Stingray laksa and fried chicken. Both dishes are fabulous. Especially I could not stop eating from the Stingray Asem Laksa dish. So delicious....I was told that RT has many other wonderful dishes. A true recommendation when you are in the area of Alor SetarMore

Based on the good reviews, we decided to pay a visit. The place was not crowded and there was sufficient parking. The restaurant was very clean. There doesn't seem to be a menu but they will tell you verbally what they have. We ordered salted...egg yolk sotong, qinglong with salted fish, steamed fish, asam prawns and nutmeg juice. The asam prawns were really very good. Even if you normally avoid prawns because of the shells, the flesh comes out easily. The nutmeg juice is special. There is a good multiracial crowd. Service was goodMore

Good food, good service and easy to find. Parking is easy and available too. The price charged is quite reasonable, considering the quality food that you get.

Nice place to have lunch and dinner. There is a parking space beside the restaurant. I prefer to sit inside the restaurant because of air-conditioned. It has VIP room as well. Need to go early or do a booking to avoid sitting outside the restaurant...which is very humid. The owner is very accommodating and friendly. She will recommend and suggest the dishes to you if you didn't have an idea what to order. She also has experience doing cathering or any functions.More

The foods are nice and delicious but pricey a bit. The location also a bit remote inside and not easy to find for first timer. Small and homely shop. Serving mainly chinese cuisines. Must try dishes are prawan and asam pedas. The vegetables are tasty...and fresh. Always tell less salt as the cook is a bit generous in putting more salt in food. Enjoy your food👍More

During my visit, I don't really noticed the 'Halal' sign in the shop. So, not confirmed it is a halal shop although the dishes are mainly chicken and seafoods.
