A few months ago, I chanced upon the page of a new Vietnamese cafe called Ôkia and made a mental note to check it out. A few days after that I saw that the proprietor of Măm Măm, the Vietnamese spot in Westlands, was also the proprietor of Ôkia Cafe and made an even more solid note to check it out because she had done such a great job at măm măm already.

This place was formerly the Tortuga Rum Bar (not sure what happened to them) and now it’s a Korean restaurant and bar. Located on riverside lane, Chimek House looks pretty chill and nice for a Saturday afternoon. They didn’t change up the decor as much and no one uses the pool still (including us). The menu is mostly fast food, including their famous Korean fried chicken. I tried to get an iced coffee but my order was constantly forgotten until I gave up on it and that’s when they remembered and brought it - it wasn’t good coffee.
