Locus PJ — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

It’s difficult to get a reservation.

1. they have very limited time slot
2. the online booking has a lot requirement and it’s not even fine dine
3. if you go with Ala carte, the deposit is RM200

I don’t even call this cozy if I am asked to sit at a high chair or share table with unknown ppl for the price I pay. Luckily I got the small table. But it’s not great either cuz the waitress can’t seem to service me when I needed the assistance (the staffs are friendly).

The matcha coconut is just a cream foam with coconut water at the bottom. Fancy name and look only. Food, hmm i find it average. Starters were ok. The chicken that was the Sunday special was a disappointment. Two slices of chicken breast 😅😅 the risotto tasted alright but it is more like the usual Chinese rice with gravy. Didn’t have the risotto texture. It wasn’t my first choice but if you booked for the later timing, likely they ran out of their famous pasta. Lastly, I didn’t expect to load myself with a lot of carb with the sourdough pancake dessert. There should be more thought into how to make a nice dessert. Another point that I didn’t like is that they only allow two hours dine in and funny enough they took really long to serve the food. If you’re with your friend likely your friend has already finished the main while yours still under preparation. I won’t be that harsh with my feedback if the reservation was lenient and price is closer to the average cafe. With the given condition, I have higher...

Booked this place for bestie birthday dinner after seeing the lady food blogger introduced. We go for their tasting menu.

It turns up to be the worse's birthday dinner place choice. We can accept not much of presentation for foods but we can't accept the zero effort put on each dish. The main course of chicken is pathetically two piece of chicken breast and using the brown sauce from supermarket which my granny also stop using. Crabs entree has strong smell of refrigerator. Their tuna tart is using the tart that probably buy ready from baker so the skin is way too thick for tuna filling. What really stood up is their buns which is soft and fresh.

If you looking for a place for celebration, expect nothing from this place. Not even a cake on house not to mention basic decoration. If casual dining, price is higher than many other places with better foods quality.

We paid almost RM350 per pax...

A phenomenal spot for a curated meal with a relaxed yet attentive atmosphere. Enjoy creative tastings using local ingredients and modern techniques, all made in-house—a nod to local flavors treated with culinary finesse.

Great service with a friendly vibe, and they took the time to explain the dishes. The food was just right – perfectly balanced and seasoned. Personal favorites:

1. Langit Rice Risotto: Loads of flavor without being overwhelming. The prawns were spot-on and tender.

2. Cured Snapper with Coconut Milk and Passion Fruit: Light, fresh, and a great mix of flavors.

This place is a creative standout, avoiding the usual over-the-top trends and bringing genuine innovation to the table.

Good spot for a special occasion, an interesting date or for any curious foodie or industry professional. It’s a small place so do make reservations, just in case. I...
