What do customers say?

Marcass draws regulars for its cheap, generous meals and welcoming staff, but recent visits reveal uneven quality. Spaghetti arrives either overcooked or undercooked, fried rice satisfies, and service drags when the kitchen is understaffed. The space stays mostly clean, though pest sightings and Google hours that don't match actual closing times frustrate returning customers.

Artsy Icy Gelato Ipoh

4.8(91)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers who visit during open hours praise the gelato as rich, tasty, and unusual. Flavours like sea salt blue pea stand out, and the friendly owner often offers a free taste. Several recent visitors, though, found the shop closed when they arrived. Fans call the shop cozy and quiet, a good spot for an after-dinner dessert near the river. Some wish for more flavour choice and a bigger room for events. The main warning is simple: call or check hours before you make the trip, because several one-star reviews came from wasted journeys.

Diners mostly praise the food, especially the tom yam and pizza, and the low prices. The Kinta Riverside spot draws a young crowd with live music. Busy evenings bring long waits and slow service, and a few guests find staff cold.

Kafe Naning

4.6(92)✓ Google-verified

Kafe Naning delivers generous servings of well-executed masak lemak, smoked meats, and Western cafe fare at prices that feel fair. Most visitors praise the flavour and owner's warmth, though opening hours are inconsistent with their Google listing, and wait times can stretch past 20 minutes even for simple orders or when items go out of stock without early warning.
