What recent reviews say

Food quality swings wildly here. Some days the nasi lemak penyet and spaghetti balado win praise, other times orders arrive wrong or tasting off-key (tom yam too sweet, matcha oversweetened). Staff are genuinely warm, and the quiet, comfortable space works well for small meetings or solo work. But service drags, especially during lunch and group bookings-one pre-arranged 36-person event waited 1.5 hours for food.

Desserts (tiramisu, red velvet cake) and coffee drinks (cappuccino, Spanish latte) have loyal fans. The recent shift back to table service (away from QR codes) earned goodwill. Still, consistency issues and slow kitchen performance remain stubborn problems that repeat visitors have been flagging for months.

Common questions

Can I bring a group or hold a meeting here?
Yes, reviewers mention the space is suitable for small meetings and colleague gatherings. However, pre-arranged group bookings (36+ pax) have experienced 1.5-hour waits for food, so advance notice does not guarantee speed.
Are the drinks here sweet?
Some customers find them oversweetened. The cappuccino and Spanish latte are praised, but the iced chocolate and matcha have been called too sweet.
Do they use QR codes or table service?
The business recently switched back to staff-led table service (staff take orders at your table) rather than QR-code ordering. Customers have noted this positively.

Staff like Amin and Ali earn repeated praise for warmth, and kitchen output shines on western mains: carbonara, aglio olio, and chicken chop impress most regulars. The AC room feels peaceful, prices sit reasonable, and chef Umar's cooking draws specific compliments. But service can stall badly during rushes (a 30-minute egg bread wait was noted), and one diner found the nasi goreng paprik didn't match their high expectations. Western fare anchors the strength here. Reviewers consistently name individual staff, suggesting personal connection matters to the experience. The split between five-star regulars and one serious service lapse suggests reliability varies with order complexity and timing. Carbonara and chicken chop appear safest bets on the menu.

Most visits leave customers satisfied with drink quality and a welcoming space suited to catching up or working. The location shines when staff like Zul are on shift, delivering pace and patience through rushes, though some staff members fall short on warmth and attentiveness, and recent app glitches have sent customers to the wrong branch. Strengths lie in consistent drink preparation and a clean, comfortable interior. Concerns emerge around uneven staff training: one review flagged food handling without gloves alongside inconsistent apron use, raising questions about SOP rigor when the same rules blocked a custom drink order. Sweet-level customisation also appears unreliable.

The Fifth Avenue divides its guests sharply. Those who visit for cakes and certain mains (pork chops, teriyaki don) and enjoy a quiet workspace leave happy; others find small portions, slow service, and detached staff at odds with the RM20+ price point. The space itself draws praise for cleanliness and calm.
