What recent reviews say

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.

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.

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.
