The cafe's Truffle Sunny Pasta and Korean fusion dishes build its reputation; reviewers praise creamy, flavourful pasta, generous portions, and a calm atmosphere. Staff handle rush periods fairly quickly, though a few find prices steep and occasionally spot frozen ingredients or missed orders when full. Recent visits highlight matcha drinks, pizza, and tiramisu alongside the pasta signatures. Most reviewers see the hype as earned, and the cosy environment suits both casual meals and meetups. A 3-week cluster of five-star reviews and quick service even during queues show consistency.

Steak and fries draw consistent praise, and the sourdough bread impresses diners familiar with European standards. Service staff earn recognition for attentiveness, especially on birthdays and group dinners. Reservations are essential; the neighbourhood bistro vibe appeals to those marking occasions. Recent visits surface tension between price and execution: beef bourguignon pie and mains sometimes disappoint, though pies, cold capellini, and lamb rack find enthusiasts. Parking is tight in Taman Tun Dr Ismail. Staff recover well from mishaps (broken pepper mill replaced the soup automatically).

Chan2Cafe draws regulars for its cosy upstairs hideaway in TTDI, where the matcha coconut cream and flat whites earn consistent praise. Staff like Clara are noted for their friendliness; the vibe supports both coffee runs and work sessions, with early 8am opening and fair prices compared to nearby competitors. Recent additions to the food menu (avocado toast, grilled chicken poke bowl, chicken chop salad) complement the drinks. The cafe sits on the second floor of Jasema, a layout reviewers accept as part of its charm, though the stairs are something to plan for if mobility is a factor.
