Here's the edited review:
- Tables are close to each other, so you can hear each other's conversations.
- Food quality and hygiene are not good.
- Ordering and payment are self-service. Yet, there is a 10% service charge and an additional minimum 3% tip!

The restaurant is on the second floor of Bishan Junction 8.
Had a great meal – the pork knuckle was spot on, and we were glad it was nicely sliced for us.
Love the pasta dishes as well.
Overall, it was a very nice meal. Service was prompt, and we were glad they allowed us a corner seat.

Managed to walk in on Valentine's Day, and the food was surprisingly good. Very generous portions, and we overordered but managed to finish everything!
Loved the hazelnut cake too. Will revisit.

This was our first time trying this restaurant as a couple.
If you’re in the mood for hearty Western fare with a focus on well-executed dishes, Ambush Western is worth a visit. Their menu offers a range of European-inspired classics, and the star of my meal was their Grilled Salmon.
The salmon was cooked to my liking, with a beautifully crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh. It was served with a creamy dill sauce that elevated the dish, complementing the natural flavors of the fish without overpowering it.
Service was efficient and friendly, and the casual, welcoming atmosphere made for an enjoyable dining experience. While the pricing is slightly above average for a casual eatery, the quality of the food justifies the cost.
Overall, Ambush Western delivers delicious, thoughtfully prepared dishes, with the Grilled Salmon being a standout recommendation. It’s a great spot for a casual yet satisfying meal.

Here's an edited version of the review, focusing on grammar and readability while retaining the original meaning and sentiment:
**Verdict**
**Food:**
1. Oxtail meat was soft and full of flavour.
2. Sausage and pork knuckle platter: The meat was salty and dried (seemed fried multiple times), and the serving portion was small, especially considering the higher price.
3. Salmon and Langsane: The cheese layer, Langsane mix, and sauté were weird. The taste was not uniform.
**Customer Service:**
Customer service was poor and could be improved.
4. While we were still dining, a waiter took away our dishes and set them aside for new diners.
Overall, an average dining experience with a lack of customer satisfaction.
Total dining fee: about $80++

Ordered the US Angus Beef steak but was disappointed; it tasted more like a boiled steak with some grill marks thrown on. Lacked flavour completely. The churros dip also missed the mark, reminding me of a cheap Nutella knockoff. That said, I did notice the pasta at another table looked pretty appetising. Maybe this place just isn’t meant for steak. Might give the pasta a shot if I ever pass by again.
Manager was friendly and polite.

Nice, but a little pricey.
I had the mushroom soup, which came with a hot loaf of bread (see picture), and the Oktoberfest platter, which featured a good spread of sausages and pork knuckle meat.
Recommended if you want a decent place to talk and impress your gf/bf, especially if you're paying.

As one of the most enduring tenants at Bishan Junction 8, Ambush has cemented its place as a reliable choice for European-inspired cuisine. While the quality of its à la carte dishes is consistently commendable, the pricing can feel somewhat steep for a casual mall setting. The real highlight, however, is their lunch set, which is remarkably well-priced and includes a complimentary drink or soup, offering fantastic value. This attractive deal understandably draws a significant crowd, so be prepared for a bustling atmosphere during peak lunch hours.

Loved the Oktoberfest Platter, especially the pork knuckle with the sauerkraut. Totally a hit!
My kid loved the truffle and pancetta risotto and the Pancetta Carbonara Linguine. Both loved the creamy taste, and the truffle empowered the risotto, making you want to keep eating.
The tater tots were crispy-fried, but sadly had too little sauce.

Good cafe food. Order was placed online, and the service speed was surprisingly fast. Food was served within about 8 minutes, despite a 90% table occupancy rate. Overall, very pleased. Maybe a little less salt in the food would make it even better.
