What do customers say?

Food arrives at solid value: nasi lemak, cheong fun, and coffee stand out, with white coffee around RM2.60. Warm-cup service on coffee shows traditional care. Yet service swings wildly. Some staff are patient and friendly; others ignore dine-in tables for 30+ minutes while prioritizing takeout, leaving plates uncollected on the counter. Atmosphere feels like a childhood kopitiam when it's running smoothly.

Recent months show improvement in ratings (mostly four to five stars lately), but older complaints about rudeness and neglect linger as a real concern.

Recent shift: Recent reviews (past 3 months) trend toward four to five stars with praise for food and patient staff; older complaints from 7-10 months ago focus on rudeness and severe neglect, suggesting possible staff or management changes.
