    Great service, good food

    We went with a group of 4, after the venue we had originally booked was mysteriously closed. The staff are friendly (with the exception of one waitress who scowled the whole time and was quite abrupt), and service was great with delivery of meals and...More

    Choose carefully, but don’t choose this one

    We chose Okra by mistake - their name was similar to a Japanese place we’d been to nearby. The food was disappointing. Pepper beef was...left on the plate. The other dishes were adequate. Ambiance was suburban cheap Asian. The staff were attentive- no issues there....More

    Always a great meal at Okra

    Enjoyed an evening meal at Okra recently. As always, consistent food and consistent service. The duck san choy bao is always a favourite of mine as is the grilled chicken. Roti bread is always lightly and flakey. We will continue to visit Okra when we...More

    Underwhelming experience but nice ambience

    We were expecting big things from Ocha, booked for our parents' golden wedding anniversary and came away very underwhelmed compared to our experience 5 years ago. Let's start with the positives. We were able to get a booking for 9 people 2 weeks prior (perhaps...More

    Always satisfying

    Lovely restaurant. Attentive service and delicious meals. The tangy oysters are to die for. Another favourite is the Duck San Choi bao (yum). Every main meal I've tried (and there have been many) has delighted me.

    Disappointing

    We were somewhat disappointed with the food at Okra; we expected better. The salt and pepper squid was nicely served in a little basket and was tender enough but the chicken in pandan leaf totally lacked any flavour. For main courses, the Singapore chilli prawns...More
