What recent reviews say

Diners consistently praise Ajuuma's soups, especially kimchi-jjigae and beef kimchi soup, along with crispy side dishes and generous portions at reasonable prices. However, kitchen consistency falters: some customers encounter oversalted or overly sweet mains, poorly textured noodles, missing sauce and egg when ordering takeout, and a venue that gets uncomfortably hot during service despite air conditioning.

Wondermilk

4.1(447)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Wondermilk draws crowds for cupcakes, cakes, and coffee in a visually striking two-counter space in Damansara Utama. Regulars praise the aesthetic and staff friendliness, but recent visits show mixed results: portion sizes have shrunk, food quality dips unpredictably, and staff sometimes lack product knowledge. Arrive early if you want specific items, as inventory dwindles fast.

Hartton Kitchen - Pj Uptown

4.3(269)✓ Verified

Hartton Kitchen draws steady praise for large portions, fresh ingredients, and a bright, Instagram-worthy setting ideal for brunch or casual catch-ups. Breakfast sets and egg toast are standouts. The space feels welcoming and unhurried, though a few note drinks cost extra and air conditioning could be stronger. Pricing sits reasonable for portions and quality; water costs RM1.20 per glass. Parking nearby at Starling Mall or the multi-storey. Vegan options available. Staff friendliness varies slightly by visit, but the overall draw is the food quality and calm atmosphere.
