Most reviewers praise the fresh ingredients and taste of the bowls and rice meals, with several naming the teriyaki chicken and salmon options. The KL Sentral location appeals to busy commuters.

Staff are quick and warm, and the Sentral location draws walk-in traffic. Coffee quality splits reviewers: one found the beans tasted old with thin milk; another enjoyed a balanced matcha strawberry. Packaging is all plastic with no eco-friendly swap offered.
