Mentari Pagi By Sofea — Restaurant in George Town

Like most viral restaurant in Malaysia, it was viralled for the wrong reason but not the food! This restaurant i believed was viralled bcos it had old time P ramlee vibe and the deco was like the 70's malay dining outlet back in the day, with the restaurant itself playing P Ramlee music over and over again and naming all of its food after P Ramlee wife and friends. But the real reason i went there is for the food. Before that, the system of ordering online/QR code, then u have to leave your table and join a longggg que to pay in another place and have to come back to your seat which most probably will be taken by somebody else is just ridiculous. The food then come which i order lontong and koping terbang or something. The lontong like most other comments here taste so-so which wont leave everlasting-memory in your tastebud nor bad which wont leaves a bad-memory in your tastebud. i think lontong in Bayan Baru area is much nicer. And the kopi was sooo manis not for the diebetic people or real coffee lover. The service was mix of fast when serving and slow at the payment counter. And the price was as expected a bit pricey. Overall, would i recommend u guys to come? Definitely NO as the food is very mediocre but would i come but? Also No. Oh btw, there is no near parking for this place u have to walk a bit to come...

Juat went this morning.. Around 11:20am,to avoid long queue as per other review. Ordered soto nasi impit and lontong. Food portion for that price, is not unreasonable. Per plate only 1 nasi impit!!. Soto without begedil as per menu (luckily as I feedback to the cashier, he deduct some amount from the original price). Presentation is not so pleasing. Just found 1pc kacang panjang in lontong. Waiting time over 30minutes for those simple menu. I have to remind the food server, after late comer got their food first. Seems my ordered was threw away. Without sorry note or what so ever..not very good manner. I recommend, if the menu cannot be delivered as per offer in the menu, just take it out! Do not say it's 1130am, almost close etc. Deliver food as not per menu is a BIG NO at any time of your sevice! What if some influencer or food critics make comments in socmed? It will affect your business, correct. Think...

While the food is undeniably good, the service here is the worst. If it weren't for my wife and daughter, I wouldn't come here again.

They charged RM1.00 for a plastic cup of iced plain water, also known as "sky juice." That alone should give you an idea of what this restaurant is like.

The system here is a mess, and the kitchen and floor crew are not to blame. They work their hardest to compensate for the defective system. For starters, they're using a scan-to-order system, which eliminates the need for waitstaff to actually tend to the tables. The constant lack of cutlery, disorganized chairs, and dirty floor are proof of why this system is flawed.

Don't get me started on the environment. It’s hot as hell in here. The Char Kuey Teow cooking station is right beside the dining area, which fills the space with a strong, pungent odor that will tickle diners'...
