Teaxini draws quiet afternoons and work sessions with matcha and Chinese tea crafted by the owner, Mr Foong, whose passion for the craft and attentive service define the visit. The hidden upstairs spot above 99 SpeedMart in Sungai Way keeps a calm, nostalgic vibe even when full, though tight seating means arriving outside peak hours helps.
Food comes vibrant and healthy from their kitchen, finished with housemade sauces. Reviewers consistently praise natural ingredients and balanced flavours at reasonable prices. The tiny space is deliberate, not a flaw, yet waits during busy periods are the honest trade-off for this tucked-away find.
Espace delivers warm hospitality and clean surroundings in Taman Desa Mentari. Reviewers consistently praise the courteous staff, comfortable seats, and flavourful dishes, though one noted the gravy could be lighter.
Chabashira delivers matcha and houjicha of unusual depth and refinement, drawn from their own Japanese farms. Reviewers consistently praise the Yu and Ryo grades for their smooth umami profiles and zero bitterness, and note that specialty sets like the Gyokuro Dessert pairing (RM68) feel intentional and elegant. Space is tight and waits peak 30 minutes on busy afternoons; a handful of reviewers flagged that solo diners and larger groups sometimes felt deprioritized during seating. Staff warmth varies: most praise their attentiveness and even complimentary replacements, though a few noted defensive tone when tables were full. Pricing runs RM15-22 per tea drink, reflective of the quality.
ONO earns its world top-100 ranking with carefully crafted coffee and matcha that impress most visitors. Aesthetic touches and staff hospitality add genuine warmth, though weekend crowds and indoor noise can undermine the experience. Best enjoyed on quieter weekdays or outside.
