" The Boat is such a cozy restaurant! I loved the garlic chicken with rice – it was juicy and flavorful. The only downside was that the portion could have been a bit larger for the price. The ambiance was inviting, and I enjoyed the decor. I recommend coming here for the waffles; they are a great way to end a meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about this restaurant, I finally decided to try it. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, but I felt the service was a bit slow, especially during lunch hour. The chicken with rice was good but I found it a bit salty for my taste. The highlight was definitely the pandan waffles which were soft and delicious. I may come back to try the noodles next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a day of exploring, I decided to stop at The Boat for dinner. The garlic chicken was truly delightful; it melted in my mouth! The indoor seating made for a nice escape from the weather outside. Service was friendly, although it took a bit longer than expected to get our food, but the quality was worth the wait. I’ll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Boat has a lovely atmosphere, and I was excited to try the garlic chicken after all the buzz. I ordered it with rice and found it quite tasty; however, the portion wasn't huge. I must say that I really enjoyed the pandan waffles, which were delightful! The service was decent, but I felt it could have been faster. Overall, a nice place for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing dining experience at The Boat! The garlic chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. The unique combination of flavors brought me right back to Vietnam. We also ordered the pandan waffles for dessert, which were a delight with the salted coconut cream. The staff were super friendly and made our experience even better. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this charming eatery on a recommendation and was excited to try their garlic chicken. The dish certainly lived up to the hype, with perfect crispy skin and juicy meat. However, I found the price point a bit on the higher end for a small portion. The ambiance is welcoming, perfect for a casual meal. I’ll likely return for the waffles as a treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about this restaurant, but my experience was just okay. The food was alright, nothing overly impressive. The chicken was crispy but a bit salty for my taste. I do appreciate the efforts of the staff who were kind and accommodating, but the wait felt long during peak hours. I would say it’s worth a try if you’re in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip. " (*Curated Review*)
