Our take: Citarasa Nasi Padang receives consistent criticism regarding its pricing and staff conduct.

Multiple reports highlight dishes like a plate with two vegetables and one meat costing $9, and a curry chicken with a vegetable and egg packet priced at $10.

This is frequently compared unfavourably to other establishments, including those in malls, suggesting a lack of value for money.

There are also concerning accounts of staff dishonesty, specifically regarding overcharging and shortchanging customers, with one detailed review mentioning a $0.50 discrepancy on multiple occasions and a lack of ikan bilis in a $4.50 Nasi Lemak.

The service is described as inattentive, with staff talking among themselves and contributing to longer wait times.

While some past experiences with Mee Soto and Lontong were noted as 'not bad,' a recent incident cited rancid beancurd in Lontong, indicating potential issues with food freshness.

We'd advise extreme caution when considering Citarasa Nasi Padang.

The pervasive issues with pricing transparency and staff integrity are significant red flags.

If you do visit, scrutinise your bill carefully and check your order before leaving.

Too expensive. nasi padang Veg is $2 Meat is $5 A plate of rice with 2 veg and 1 meat cost $9. Try once don't dare to try again. Might be good if pricing is labelled well.

Very expensive nasi padang. The chicken cost $5 and simple tofu cost $2. This is more expensive than eating at food courts or CBD. Average taste that doesn't warrant the high price tag, especially gi…

It was truly frustrating and disappointing and all this is because of your skinny lady staff in headscarf who served me when I patronised your shop! She's also dishonest by shortchanging me not on one…

Paid $10+ for a simple nasi padang meal at this neighbourhood stall, which is absurd when the same thing costs only $8+ at Hjh Maimunah in Westgate. Imagine a mall being cheaper than a HDB stall…the m…
