Food was good and priced decently. Portion not huge, but generous with the salmon sashimi, which is great. However, they seem quite understaffed, so the service was slow.

Excellent service with super polite staff! A few of the appetisers I ordered were sprinkled with paprika, which was a tad too spicy for me; food was yummy though. Thumbs up! Will definitely be there again :)

Friendly people working there. Food is good as well! We ordered the original shaker poke to try and it was really nice and fresh. The lime wings are good too!

Like their Seafood Gumbo. My friend's pokebowl looks nice too, just a little small portion. Drinks are not my kind, except the fruit tea choices. Desserts are not much special and definitely can be better.

The food was wonderful along with good service. Would love to come back and try the other poke bowls. Every ingredient blends so well together, plus the sushi rice was delicious!

i did not enjoy the spicy poke bowl as the spice was too overbearing to the point that i did not enjoy the rest of the dish.

A restaurant with good view. Fast clearing service and good food. Just that the price is quite steep. Overall, enjoy dinning in there for the first time. :)

It was an average experience at Alter Ego. Service was prompt and staffs were friendly. Pizza fries was good when eaten hot, it turns salty when cold. The Original Poke Shaker and Umami Omega pokebowls were not bad, Chilli cheese dog wasn't that fantastic though it was recommended by the staff. The portion for chilli cheese dog was disappointing, considering it's the same price as the salmon bowls, it came with a small portion of coleslaw & curly fries. There was a 10% discount for UOB cardholders.

Great service, ambience, view and food selection, but raw fish in poke bowls can be fresher. We will be back to try out other items.

Food was good. Only blip was when ordered a particular type of cider (which they did not have and had been replaced with another brand), the server did not inform me and processed my order with the new cider. I was only later informed by another server when the pint had already been prepared. Overall, will still go back because the food is pretty yums :)

Reservation was screwed up. Reserved at 7.30pm but was fully booked. Had to come at 8.30pm instead. Barely sat for long, informed us that they are taking last orders for poke bowls. Ingredients ran out for our bowls + some drinks. Had to replace / change orders. Server was confused while serving. Had no idea what drinks were what. Third time visit here but my worst. Probably might not make a visit back.

Poke bowl was delicious and portion was quite huge! Tried the cheese burger aka Juicy Lucy and it was good too. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice place to hang out with friends or even for date night, can be quite crowded on the weekends.

Ambience is great. Opt for alfresco dining if you prefer to have a conversation with your friends. Had the dirty menu as it was past 9pm. Grilled cheese with tomato soup by the side is highly recommended. The only downside is that the service crew are not as attentive to the alfresco tables and we had a hard time trying to get any attention.

Great poke, nice drinks. Was terribly noisy indoors due to a large table full of drunk peeps though - might've been a good idea to seat them outside.

Food, service and ambience are good. However, the menu choices are slightly limited and the menus are torn and old. Think they should change away the torn and old menu.

The menu overall was really good;up to expectations. My only gripe was the seating and the fact that we were so close to the door that it felt even warmer then usual. Also, the ambience was off due to the poor choice of music. Was very much a distraction for me.

It's my first time at Alter Ego after much ravings. Unfortunately, it didn't impress me and would not return for a second visit. Service was slow and the cilantro lime wings was horrible; taste of frozen chicken and the texture was soft instead of crispy which really turned me off from eating more. Other than that, the poke bowls and chips were a-okay.

Friendly staff. Food didn't wow me. Personally found desserts lack lustre where it isn't interesting. The staff got the orders wrong 3 times. First they served the loaded taters with bacon (when we asked for it to be separated), then they change the order but forgot to serve the separate dish of bacon, and served a wrong dish of main to our table. We were a table of 4 and ordered 2 poke bowls, a main, 2 drinks, had 4 glasses of water on the table and was still waiting for another friend. The table was getting horribly and impractically crowded with no space left but yet they didn't offer a change of tables. We had to request and also correct the wrong orders. I would think attention to details, besides being friendly is important.

We tried the Umami Poke, Original and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich, which were delicious. Portion size was huge too. However, the server missed out some of our orders and kept us waiting.
