What recent reviews say

Falim delivers good food at low prices, especially nasi lemak and cheong fun, in a relaxed kopitiam setting that feels nostalgic. Service is the weakness: wait times stretch past 20-30 minutes during busy periods, kitchen staff move slowly, and dine-in customers get sidelined when takeout orders pile up.

Praised for
  • affordable prices
  • quality food (nasi lemak, cheong fun, otak otak)
  • friendly staff when present
  • cozy kopitiam atmosphere
Watch-outs
  • inconsistent or rude service
  • slow kitchen and food delivery
  • staff abandoning dine-in orders for takeout
  • staff forgetting which dish is which

Best for: Budget-conscious diners who value authentic kopitiam food over quick service
Think twice if: Skip if you are in a hurry or need reliable dine-in service; wait times regularly exceed 20 minutes and staff prioritize takeout over table service

Strengths

  • Very affordable prices (white coffee RM2.60, chicken cutlet praised)
  • Consistent food quality for traditional dishes
  • Genuine kopitiam atmosphere

Worth knowing

  • White coffee priced at RM2.60
  • Regular wait times of 20-30 minutes reported during peak periods
  • Kitchen processes takeout orders ahead of dine-in tables
  • Staff often unsure which dish belongs to which customer

Regulars praise the fresh yogurt, milk, and soft serve ice cream with creative toppings. The cafe draws shoppers from Aeon Big for a clean, relaxed stop with a range of tea and flavored drinks. One visitor noted a cleanliness issue that kept growing, though they still return.

Come here for reliable local comfort food at fair prices. Reviewers consistently praise the curry noodles, hor fun, and kaya toast; staff are polite and quick. The catch: portions vary dish to dish, and the kitchen can be hit-and-miss on seasoning. They charge a 50-cent takeaway fee regardless of whether you bring your own container. Tables fill during dinner; parking is free and easy.

Most visitors find consistently good coffee with distinctive local blends. White coffee, pandan, and Liberica options draw regular repeat business. Cindy and other staff usually explain the coffee range well and create a relaxed space for work or socializing. A few complaints surface around weaker batches lacking aroma, and one serious note on hygiene practices during packing-a contrast to the wider pattern of friendly service and reasonable prices.
