" The food at Sambal Chef is simply divine! I tried their signature chili crab and it was phenomenal. The sauce was a delicious mix that paired well with the succulent crab. The restaurant’s atmosphere was lively, perfect for a dinner with friends. However, we did experience a small wait for our food, but it was well worth it. Highly recommend this place!
