What recent reviews say

Staff by name (Leen, Raajh, Maira) earn consistent mention for warmth and attentiveness. Dishes arrive quickly with generous portions; waffles, chicken chop, and fish and chips are standouts. The space photographs well and feels relaxed, sitting near Concubine Lane in central Ipoh.

One diner's fish arrived overdone then cold on replacement. Otherwise, cleanliness and decor draw praise-even the restrooms invite photos. The crowd values it as a hangout where food tastes good and staff remember them.

SOL IPOH

5.0(85)✓ Google-verified

Sol Ipoh recently reopened with a strong retro 80s aesthetic that reviewers find instantly photogenic and cozy. The smash burger earns consistent praise for juicy patties and crispy toasted buns, while loaded fries with truffle oil, specialty drinks like yuzu matcha and mocha, and desserts draw repeat visits. Staff are described as cheerful and polite, service comes fast, and the vintage jazz-filled atmosphere feels purposefully calm.

Most visitors return for the rare alcohol cakes, often praising the owner's passion and how he explains each cake's flavors. Several report excellent service and a cozy space. However, some faced a reluctant owner, denied seating despite empty tables, poor order updates, and no complimentary water.
