I had an excellent time at Alter Ego. The poke bowl was wholesome and good. I just wish the chunks of fish could be larger. Also tried the pizza fries and it was very good value for the price. The cheese used for the dish wasn't the usual 'cheap' type of cheese that most eateries used so I really appreciated that. The caramelised ikan bilis tasted wonderful too though it would be good if they served it in smaller portions as it was a bit too much for two people to share. Great experience!

When someone makes a reservation for 2, please do not assign them bar top seats. Other than that little hiccup, the food, drinks and other menu items combined with the chill atmosphere was definitely awesome stuff!

Really love the poke bowls. Friendly staff. It would be a bit hard to call for service if you happened to sit outdoors. Overall is still good

Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday! The staff were very eager to help me out in this so kudos for that. The birthday girl enjoyed her grilled cheese (FOR ULTIMATE CHEESE LOVERS) as did I, and we all loved the fried fish skin. Buffalo wings are a tad monotonous with a single layer of flavour - sour-spicy, that never graduated into a different taste, so skip that. Service-wise, there's a lack of clear floor management and procedure - the staff forgot to pass us our water and we had to ask thrice before another server got it for us very apologetically. It's also slightly unhygienic to be served water from a flask on the ground. What saved the day - nice food, servers were still very friendly and we pulled off the surprise successfully so thank you! I tried to be fair in this review, hope this helps y'all target what to improve!

Nothing great about the place. The atmosphere was quite dull. Happy hours was for a selected few drinks only, to be precise for just 3 kinds of beer from a list of may be 20. Service was just bearable.

Food was not bad, loved the crunch of the grilled cheese, but overall taste could be improved. Portion was just nice. Service crew needs to pay more attention to customers though - kept waving and took a while before anyone came forward.

Had to get a drink in order to be served water. Food was pretty good, decent serving size. Not a fan of sitting at the high tables.

Enjoyed the refreshing poké bowls and sinfully good grilled cheese sandwich. There was a slightly overbearing service staff that pressed us to purchase drinks and somehow added a drink to our bill when we did not order it. Would appreciate it if that particular service staff refrained from such hard-sell tactics in future. That aside, food and ambience were great, would certainly return.

We ordered the pizza fries and the umami omega. It was delish and the amount of salmon they gave was super generous. The ambience of the place was good for a chill catch up between colleagues.

It is a great place to hang out, have drinks and chill with friends, but I somehow wished that there was more variety in their food options. The original poke shaker bowl had a great mix of ingredients in it, but perhaps wasn't too much of a hearty meal. Would be a great option if you're in the mood for light eating/dieting. Grilled cheese sandwich, loaded taters and chicken skin was great-tasting and good for communal eating 😋 overall cost on the higher side for the small portions

Love the Eat Clean vs Eat Dirty concept and the Poke bowls were so tasty (although a bit small)! I love that they have a vegan version as well. The pomegranate tea is also recommended.

Poke bowls looks small in content but is actually quite filling. May be a tad too pricey for what's in the bowl though. But otherwise good ambiance and location for occasional dines.

My friends and I agreed that the poke bowls are really good. But the sinful appetizers were so-so (we have fries pizza and pulled pork dip). Loving the long happy hour as well although the selections were limited. Would strongly recommend to do reservation early since almost all tables are reserved, even the high stool bars.

Waitstaff lacked attentiveness as we were seated outdoors. Food was good especially so for the poke bowls. A bit slack to be told that "as we are a bar at night, you'll need to purchase drinks to be served water". Yep, didn't get any water. Food's reasonably priced though, good ambience.

Not really ideal for big groups as the tables are big and it can get quite noisy indoors. Would go again in a smaller group for a smaller table so we won't have to shout across to each other. Food was okay, service was okay. Not a very memorable experience. Would try it again next time.

The portions were rather small for the price you may. Had a poke ball and wasnt satisfied after. Ambiece wise it is a nice place to chill by the esplanade overlooking the bay area. Would recommend as a coffee chill place with small bites rather than lunch or dinner.
