I have been visiting le le pot on several occasions for its good price and nice soup. However, my recent visit was quite a disappointment.

Soup:

Preserved Veg soup- Oily. Bland

Laksa - not too bad

Herbal - tasteless

Tomyam - not too bad

Ingredients:

Generally alright. I love the fried wanton very much.

Service:

Very poor. On 2 occasions, I saw waiters insisting to measure the height of young children. These children are obviously below 6 years old and honestly... is there really a need to take kids out from the high chair and stand against the wall to see if they qualify for kids price? One angry parent told them to charge whatever they deem this kid should qualify and theres no need to measure up for a meal.

Soup base. I came early for a table for 5 and I requested for 2 pots of soup. I was told that we need to pay extra for another pot of soup as only a 6 ppl group can have 2 pots of soup. I asked if they can waive that off since we are one person short but they are quite adament. So, I told them to seperate the bills. My boyfriend and I came earlier and we'll order buffet for 2 now. Later when his family comes, they'll order a buffet for 3. They refused to do such an order and told me that we'll have to sit on the table they decide for us (pointed at the back). The place had only 3 diners at that time and the table beside us is empty. I was pissed but oh whatever, I'll pay for it.

Missing orders. We ordered and repeated the orders a few times but somehow, they still miss it.

Conclusion

This place is indeed cheap for the food they serve. Do reserve before coming. I have saw people being charged for food wastage too. J pot may be another nicer alternative!

Went with a group of friends. First and last time.

The food is full of MSG (we were left thirsty the whole night) and the service is poor. Chicken wings are served cold and greasy. Lobster ball, with every bite taste of salt and seasoning.

Ventilation is bad - be prepared to leave the place smelling like fishball and fishglue.

Understand the business mindset of maximising space, but the guy behind our table was almost smelling my friend's hair. Poor air ventilation - please do not plan to go anywhere else after dinner at Le Le Pot, your hair, clothes and even your bag smells terrible after dinner - go home and wash up!

Food in general is fine, and considering the price, value for money is ok. However, prawn is not fresh. I think other reviews have provided the same feedback.

Honestly, for $26 per person (2 drinks per person), I rather pay for Chong Qing, where I can eat comfortably, not feel rushed, and can go else where after meal.
