What do recent reviews say?

Forty Three draws steady praise for its pet-friendly space, local breakfasts like mee siam, and coffee. Recent visits reveal friction: some staff are dismissive or rude, and a few guests report spoiled eggs or slow prep of signature dishes. When food comes out, it tends to impress; the gamble is service consistency and ingredient handling.

Antipodean Cafe - Sunway Velocity Two

Most visits deliver fresh, well-prepared meals with warm service in a relaxed setting. Recent diners single out specific staff by name, particularly manager Jenny, for genuine hospitality. French toast, steaks, and customized dishes stand out. One recent complaint about coffee pricing (2 cappuccinos, RM37) appears isolated among overwhelmingly positive feedback on food and service quality. The branch caters to families with young children and welcomes groups. Staff seem to learn and improve visibly, and the business states plans for Muslim-friendly locations. Comfortable seating and a spacious interior make it suitable for both casual meals and longer visits with friends or family.

Most recent visitors report repeated problems with staff rudeness, order mix-ups, and drink quality issues. One staff member touched hair and ate at the prep area without washing hands; another disputed a wrong drink rather than acknowledge the error. A handful of positive visits noted friendly service and late-night availability, but these are far outnumbered by complaints spanning the past five months. The business lists tea drinks and cafe beverages on its website, with Thursday promotions (RM1.10 second cup). Sunway Velocity location stays open late when staff are willing, though consistent standards are absent. Management appears not yet to have addressed the recurring themes customers raise about attitude, accuracy, and hygiene.

The cafe wins consistent praise for its calm, carefully curated space and creative drinks-layered flavours in drinks like Guava Jasmine Shandy, and dishes such as salmon ochazuke and Caramel Roasted Sweet Potato Brûlée draw repeat visitors. The write-to-mail touch and couple's set meals at reasonable price points add memorable detail. Service remains a flashpoint. Staff occasionally turn away arriving customers minutes before opening, speak dismissively, or fail to explain membership perks advertised on social media. Food pricing divides reviewers: some find couple's sets fair; others see overpriced portions, extra charges for water, and no item descriptions to justify the cost. Parking near Velocity mall is tight, though a footbridge walk is possible.
