The ambience is unique, with the late 60s kind of settings. However, for the selection of food, I feel that it's a good, place for friends to chill out together, rather than a proper family dinner.

Our family ordered a bowl Fish Maw Soup, a small piece of Otah, a plate of Spinach, a plate of grilled chicken wings, a plate of Ikan billis, 3 root beer floats, 5 bowl of rices & 2 durian ice-cream which cost us $107 in total...

A place that is pretty value for money though all the portion of the dishes were small. Well, to us, overall, it tasted more like a home-cooked food in a typical 60s coffee shop setting. Haha!

a 50s shophouse filled with vintage memorabilia, watches, guitars, clocks, fans, bikes, bicycles etc. being a vintage vespa fan myself, how can i not love this freaking awesome place? check out the cool volkswagen van parked right outside the cafe!

Brought my whole family there for dinner last night.

Love the food and the ambience!

Ambience and Decos

Upon entering, it's like instant flashback to the 60's/70's.

The Kombi Vans outside, reminds me of those my mum

and I used to ride, to enter my grandparents' kampung in

Sembawang when I was young. My dad just keep talking

about vintage clocks, fans, fridges and bikes, some of

which he used to own also.

Food

Fishmaw Crabmeat Broth. Fresh ingredients. Nicely

cooked, not too gooey and not too watery. A good

substitute for shark fins soup lovers who have the craving

but want to stop the cruelty of killing sharks for their fins.

Portion of grouper slices is generous for the Fish Hor Fun

along with good portion of healthy vegetables.

Their recommended thai minced pork is good too! Well

seasoned without the porky smell. Mild spicy. Surprisingly

goes very well with red wine!

The Thai Crispy Fish is another must try. Sweet tangy mango

salad over the fried fish. Real appetizing.

Value and Service

Staff at the restaurant are attentive and friendly. They check

out with us a number of times to ensure we have enough rice

and drinks. Does not rush us even there're customers waiting

for table.

The freshness of the ingredients and portion definitely make

the food there value for money. While some commented that

food there is expensive, I find it's not fair to compare Kombi

Rocks to typical Tze-Char restaurants/coffeeshops. This is a

theme restaurant after all. The price is only marginally higher

compared to Tze-Char restaurants. There are not GST and

Service Charge.

Other notes

For those who drive, park properly and legally if possible.

Watch out for regular LTA enforcement officers as the area is

home to a number of popular restaurants and pubs. There's a

public carpark just opposite, next to Serangoon Stadium.
