Pik Wah Bar & Cafe Review: A Mixed Bag

Pik Wah Bar & Cafe, a popular spot in Petaling Street, receives mixed reviews. While its strategic location and inviting ambiance are frequently praised, the overall experience is inconsistent.

Food Quality: Opinions on the food vary widely. Some rave about the roasted pork and char siu, describing them as expertly prepared and juicy. Others find the food average or even disappointing, citing dry roast chicken and pork, and lukewarm "onsen" eggs. The claypot rice receives mixed reviews, described as "okay" by some. The Portuguese egg tarts and coffee are also considered underwhelming by several reviewers. The claypot coffee, while praised by some, is described by others as simply thick coffee poured into a claypot.

Service Issues: A significant number of reviews highlight poor service. Staff appear disorganized, struggling to identify which tables have ordered what, leading to food being delivered to the wrong tables. The suggestion to clearly number the tables is frequently made. Slow service, particularly during busy hours, is a recurring complaint, with some customers leaving before their drinks arrived. The lack of attention to detail, such as not providing tissues, further contributes to the negative perception of service.

Ambiance and Location: The restaurant's location and ambiance are generally well-received. Reviewers appreciate its convenient location in Chinatown, near Kwai Chai Hong, and its inviting atmosphere. The presence of oldies music is also noted as a positive aspect for some.

Overall: Pik Wah Bar & Cafe offers a mixed experience. While its location and ambiance are attractive, inconsistencies in food quality and significant service issues need addressing to improve the overall customer experience. The restaurant's reputation as a must-visit destination may not always align with the reality of the dining experience, based on these reviews.

Note: Daylight food last call until 2.30pm, after that they change the dinner menu...
