SALAMIE

Three years of mixed service: some customers loved the cozy space and owner's warmth when admitted, praising exotic coffees and low prices under RM12. Others were turned away by staff without reason and found mediocre food and beverages overpriced for what kopitiam should offer.

Sun Heng Curry Noodles

The curry noodles and spare ribs earn consistent praise for tenderness and rich flavor, and the kopitiam setting draws repeat customers craving authentic Ipoh dining. Yet pricing frustration recurs across reviews, quality slips (spoiled chicken, sparse butter on premium items), and isolated staff rudeness incidents undermine the experience for some.

Suka Kafe

Most visitors treasure Suka Kafe for its strong vegetarian and vegan menu, authentic local flavors, and warm staff who actively recommend dishes and help with sharing. The casual, art-filled space with clean toilets draws repeat visits, though air conditioning and parking can be patchy, and service timing is occasionally sluggish. The kitchen delivers dishes like mee Jawa and laksa Sarawak with care, and the owner is known for personal attention. Pricing sits comfortably mid-range for the quality. A live cat and nearby small retail section (coffee powder, fresh produce, eggs, vegan goods) add quirky character.
