The food was great, especially the grilled cheese and cold brew. Service was quite slow, but not too bad for a Nee establishment. Will definitely be back

Went there for dinner. Good food, good service. Just that the bowl for the poke bowl is too small for me to mix my food.

Menu not much selection, price ranges from $17 - $22. More for beef lover. No waiting time as prior reservation was made. Nice location in front of Singapore River.

Good. Crowded as it is on a public holiday, a little too noisy and small table were given. Poke bowl is great and the grilled cheese too

Great pokebowls but the healthy dessert options need more crunch in them. Great pokebowls but the healthy dessert options need more crunch in them. Great pokebowls but the healthy dessert options need more crunch in them.

Generally great food, ambience and service. Would highly recommend the Pizza fries and Seafood Gumbo. Poke bowl was a tad bland and they didn't have extra seasoning or condiments to make up for it. They gave me extra pizza fries sauce which was a bit weird but no choice. Would come back here again for the fries!

Food is not great. Half of the order was forgotten. Had to ask 3 times for it. Burger has quite bland and the cheese used for Jucy Lucy has no flavour.

Great food and great vibes. Must try: pizza fries, fried chicken skin and shortrib sandwich. You'll wanna enjoy the walk outside towards Jubilee Bridge before dinner and enjoy the sunset too ;) Nice spot for a date.

It was crowded and despite having a booking, we (3pax) was still seated at the seating bar. However, staff tried their best to attend to us even though they were awfully busy. Good place and good job to the staff!

The food was good and portion was just right. The jalapeños cheddar dip was great with the fries and tortilla chips. We also ordered poke and chips, Cilantro Lime Wings and pull pork dip. All were awesome and mojito is good.

The food overall was great and the service was pretty fast. Our drinks, pokebowl and appetizers arrive shortly after we placed our orders. The staff were quite attentive to the customers although we waited a little more for our bill before another waiter noticed us. I guess the first waiter we approached was busy taking new orders and kind of forgotten us getting out bill. But the ambience was great, it's good place to chill and relax on a Saturday night. Will definitely visit again in future :)

It was a great experience! We made a reservation so we didn't have to wait. The staff were prompt to serving us and the food was delicious. It was really lively within the restaurant and we didn't mind one bit. The price was slightly on the high side. But overall I would recommend Alter Ego.

Food is great as usual. Ordered my fav poke bowl. Tried the pulled pork which was good though sinful with the buttered baked bread. Outdoor seats were hot but no choice as indoors was booked for a private event.

Food was good but service was slow for a non crowded restaurant. The service staff could have managed our expectations by letting us know in advance about the longer waiting time. Food could also have been served together rather than 20 minutes apart due to different preparation time. But I'll still return for the food.

Food was really good, I enjoyed the ribs/cheese sandwich and pizza fries very much. I would definitely go back again. We also had a poke bowl which was decent.. I guess they could probably have a wider selection of desserts?

We love it here! I was here a few days ago and I came here again with some other friends after trying. I love the fact that we can get the eat clean and eat dirty menu because we can accommodate people of different eating diet. the eat clean menu ends at 8pm (even though the website and a lot of reviews claim that it doesn't serve eat clean food in the evening!) love the atmosphere

Ordered the umami poke bowl, juicy lucy burger as well as the pizza fries. I've to say its my first time there but will definitely not be the last. The pizza fries, albeit took super long to arrive (after i finished my mains) was super mind blowing. The cheese on top of the fries were really generous and complements well. However the fries itself was a little on the hard side. The poke bowl and burger were fantastic though. Cant wait to try our other food on the menu :)

A range of poke bowls for the healthy conscious and a guilty menu for the sinful one..service not too bad..a busy crowd on a saturday night i would say..better to reserve before going..
