Social groups and photo-seekers craving trendy Thai shaved ice.

Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-09-29).

What do recent reviews say?

Reviewers consistently praise the bingsu and Thai-inspired shaved ice, especially flavours like egg yolk with yam, salted egg, and blueberry cheesecake. The space draws crowds for its photobooth and trendy aesthetic, with staff managing the rush reasonably well. Recent visits note inconsistent quality compared to the original Thailand location, and a few flag portion sizes at RM26+ as steep, though most find the experience worth a trip.

Service remains upbeat despite the crush, and the QR ordering system keeps lines efficient. Some mention the upper-floor air conditioning borders on uncomfortable. Staff occasionally seem frazzled during peak hours, but recover with smiles. The latest reports highlight croffle and tiramisu bingsu as standouts.

Reviewers praise the matcha and coffee quality, and recent visits highlight genuinely friendly service in a cosy, work-friendly space with good natural light and outdoor seating. Brioches and cakes stand out, though food pricing sits above Chow Kit norms; occasional complaints about dish execution (soggy bread from excess sauce) and inconsistent cashier warmth surface, though newer reviews show staff friendliness improving. The location offers early opening hours (9 a.m.), twin towers views from certain angles, and both indoor and outdoor areas with different temperature zones. Matcha latte earns particular praise, as does the smoked salmon. Several regulars note it as a post-gentrification fixture in Chow Kit, retaining casual appeal despite its cafe culture status.

Silverfox draws regulars for its specialty coffee, matcha drinks, and polished interiors ideal for photos or work. Staff members like Amiru and Amiraa earn specific praise for warmth, though recent reviews split on value: some find RM50+ for food and a drink reasonable for the vibe, while others push back on small portions and flavour for the price.
