What recent reviews say

Strong ratings driven by staff warmth, tasty Malaysian and Asian dishes, and fair pricing on curry puffs, nasi lemak, and catering orders. Minor notes: one reviewer found a curry puff dry and overpriced; kitchen closures have limited breakfast options on some visits.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

A corner cafe tucked into the mall that punches above its price point with well-crafted coffee and specialty drinks alongside a surprisingly varied menu. Reviewers consistently praise the chicken chop, onion rings, and creative matcha options, though a handful note the kitchen can miss on seasoning or tenderness, and not every dish lands. The space itself draws people back: modern, calm, and a genuine retreat from the mall bustle. Staff interaction has been positive across reviews, and the kitchen shows willingness to adapt dishes (vegetarian swaps, custom orders). At RM 10 for a cappuccino and reasonable prices overall, the cafe appeals to those after honest cafe food and drinks without fuss or markup. Best for a casual brunch or laptop session that doesn't demand novelty every visit.

The buffet experience here varies week to week. Food variety and value are strong on weekend high-teas, and a la carte dishes like curry fish head earn praise for freshness and portion size. But quality slips in the buffet rotation: items go stale, replenishment lags, and the kitchen struggles with consistency. Service is slow even during quiet hours, and the dining room can feel cramped and noisy. Last-minute cancellations without proper notice have frustrated online bookers.

Brass Cafe draws customers with low-cost buffet options and occasional friendly staff moments, but service slowness and uneven food quality are persistent frustrations. Reviewers praise the buffet spread and named staff like Puteri and Hawa, yet complaint escalation often feels dismissive, leaving diners hungry and exasperated.
