What recent reviews say

Staff friendliness and a comfortable dining space draw repeat visitors, especially for traditional Malaysian fare like duck and fried rice.

Good food and fair prices draw people back, but slow service and inconsistent staff attitude remain stubborn problems. Dishes like Western Talam and prawn fried noodles with lobster earn praise, yet kitchen delays and poor handling of orders frustrate returning customers.

MS Grocer's retail side earns consistent praise for cleanliness, fresh stock, and courteous checkout help. The attached cafe divides opinion: shoppers enjoy the quiet setting and reasonable prices, but food quality complaints-bland chicken rice, underseasoned nasi goreng kampung, wrong orders-recur, and staff morale issues surface in several reviews.

Strong coffee and drink game with crispy fried chicken keeps regulars returning, though food consistency stumbles: half the menu often unavailable, orders get mixed up, and wait times stretch even when the kitchen is understaffed. Staff smile through it, but noise complaints and portion gripes suggest operational rough edges that pricing doesn't offset.
