Kok Thai Restaurant Ipoh 国泰怡保酒楼 (宴会厅) — Restaurant in Perak

BEWARE🔊🔊!!!!! WARNING⚠️⚠️⚠️

For couples looking for place to hold wedding dinner. This restaurant violates my privacy as a customer by unauthorised used of photos of us, the newly wed couple, my guests including minors, background decoration and my singing team. The restaurant posted my photos on social media, adding link to their restaurant and whatapps number on the same page to promote their business.

They do not seek consent from me, as the host prior to using those photos and illegally used the photo to advertised their business. Most shameless thing is the restaurant staff asked the photographer which I hired to shot the photos. I just dunnoe how they con my photographer for the copy of photo or the photographer oso brainless enough to simply hand out photos without asking permission from me (who paid them and please bear in mind that I do not consented to any T&C which allow for advertising purpose). The restaurant do not admit their mistake when I meet the boss and simply brush us off when we lodge our complains saying it's just mere wishes for the new couple. Hello aunty and uncle, if anyone wholeheartedly wanna wish me can do so just by calling me. There's nonid to post in any social media and let public which is unknown to me to congratulate me. Simply nonsense. And nowadays with scammer roaming freely, all these P&C should be well taken care of.

*I paid in full 20K for 17 tables on wedding dinner in Kok Thai, very restricted area for decoration and they arrange the tables more crowded than usual to squeeze us in. Faulty sportlight during couple march in.... Disappointing. Longer waiting time for the meal to be served since they accepted 2 different couples same dinner night and also open some tables for public. Guest need to wait for meal. Lack of staff.

#they did remove the advertising photo on social media...

Came here for dinner on the 3rd day of CNY. Must say that we made the right choice instead of travelling to our usual restaurant which seems to be in a mess since the CNY eve.

Got hold of a table for our entourage. We opted for the CNY set given that the restaurant is not offering any ala carte. It was a good decision. Food was really good and fresh. The yee sang with abalone was a very appetizing starter for this great dinner. The Grouper fish was large (easily 2kg) and steamed to perfection. The prawns were not as big as we expected but again was poached very well and fresh.

Service was good and attentive as the crowd was not as heavy when we were there. There are ample parking spaces within the restaurant compound with security hence...

Celebrated my daughter's birthday at this restaurant on 30/4/23. The restaurant is not full even on a Sunday. Guess I know after tasting the food. It was okay but not tasty, that I'll remember it and talk about it. The only best dish is the fried lemon chicken chop which I took a photo of after we almost finished eating it. It's crispy and yummy. The rest of the dishes like pork knuckle, egg, kangkung were just ok. Nothing special. Fish was overcooked and cost almost RM90.

Restaurant location is good though...a lot of parking and the atmosphere is nice, not too crowded and we were served almost instantaneously because there was not...
