甲洞幸湘菜馆 | Restoran Luckypot Kepong — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Overall 4.5⭐.

Why would one of the best and busiest Hunan/Sichuan restaurants in the Klang Valley resort to inducing customers with free food in exchange for favourable Google reviews? Sigh.... (anyway, this review is bribe-free as we turned away their offer)

Push open the doors of the restaurant and you will be enticed by the typical smell of Sichuan restaurants - that 'acquired' mala smell. Service was brisk and attentive as we were early. The restaurant filled up by 7pm on Saturday night and booking is highly recommended.

The taro fish soup was the show stopper: the soup was milky, naturally sweet and came with big pieces of fried fish (siakap in our case) and fried yam. They offer refills of soup too. Everything else hit the right notes: the morsels of chicken in spicy chicken were large (and not dry); the spicy lotus root had the right amount of mala-ness and had texture from the lotus and peanuts; the skewered lamb perfectly seasoned and again, not too dry; and fried cabbage had enough umami from the slices of pork belly and lard. The laggard dish was the mah po tofu which was average.

I guess the level of mala-ness was toned down to cater to the Malaysian palate.But I found the food very tasty and I didn't suffer from MSG-overload-thirst...

I recently visited a Chinese restaurant in Kepong that has been generating a lot of hype. Despite the full house, the service was fast, which is always a plus when dining out. The menu offered a variety of dishes.

While the taste was good, I must say that it wasn't very authentic Chinese. However, the portion sizes were generous for the price, making it a good value proposition. I appreciated the lucky draw for free skewers, which added an element of excitement to the dining experience.

The ambiance of the restaurant was decent, with a modern Chinese decor and seating that could accommodate large groups. However, the star of the show was definitely the food. The Szechuan Grilled Fish was good, with the right balance of spice and flavor. The spicy chicken was also delicious, although it is not Chinese authentic taste.

Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for those looking to try some tasty Chinese cuisine without breaking the bank. While the taste may not be entirely authentic, it is still a good place to eat with efficient service, generous portions, and some...

This was a truly delightful dining experience. From the ambiance to the dishes, everything reflected the restaurant’s commitment to quality.

First and foremost, the food was absolutely delicious. The pickled fish soup was bright and flavorful, with tender fish slices and a perfect balance of sour and spicy notes—impossible to stop eating. The dry pot dish was fragrant and crisp, loaded with peanuts and dried chilies that packed a punch. The stir-fried green beans were cooked just right, keeping their fresh, crunchy texture. And the crispy chicken sprinkled with flavorful seasoning was golden on the outside and juicy inside—an absolute hit with our bowls of rice.

The tea was served promptly, and the staff were attentive and friendly, making the entire meal relaxing and enjoyable. Sitting around a round table with friends, chatting and sharing food, created the perfect atmosphere for a great gathering.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves Sichuan or Chinese cuisine—you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be...
