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

What do recent reviews say?

Strong food reputation draws regulars back: pasta, claypot rice, and donburi are consistently praised for texture and flavour, while tarts and specialty drinks punch above their price point (drinks often RM10 or under). Second-floor space stays quiet and welcoming for small groups or families.

Recent visits note friendlier staff, though two one-star incidents from the past month flagged unpleasant attitudes at arrival and inflexibility when customers reported dishes too spicy for children. Most five-star reviews emphasise the kitchen's care and reasonable pricing (around RM50 per person), but waits can stretch with only two chefs working service.

Praised for
  • well-executed fusion cuisine with fresh ingredients
  • excellent value for the quality
  • calm, cosy second-floor setting
  • standout drinks and tarts
  • friendly staff in recent visits
Watch-outs
  • staff attitude inconsistent, grumpy or dismissive in some visits
  • service recovery poor when issues arise

  • Tuna Pasta and Black Garlic Tuna Tataki noted for quality, though texture can be inconsistent
  • Specialty drinks (Fizzy Yuzu Genmaicha, Peachy Oolong Fizz, Orange Eclipse) priced RM10 or below
  • Only two chefs in kitchen; food slower during busy service
