Located just off the Poling Hot Springs's main entrance and surrounded by the untouched rainforest as suggested by the restaurant's name, this place serves local favorite dishes that is synonymous with the Dusun community that lives around this historical Kinabalu National Park. Top notch atmosphere but food is nothing to shout about besides the prices that are definitely in the tourists bracket. What won its ratings from me was the service and cleanliness. Manager was very friendly and informative which adds a good dining experience here. Verdict : Food - forget able..Ambience and experience - Excellent. Recommended to give this at least a try when visiting this hot spring tourist spot in Ranau, Sabah.

I wish I could speak well of the food here. Unfortunately, it is just mediocre. We had expected a scrumptious lunch, but we left disappointed. The papadum wasn't fresh and crunchy as it had already turned soft. We cannot imagine how any chef in a resort would even think it would be okay to serve it. The house special, Rainforest Special ( I think that's what it's called) is nothing special. There were hardly any taste, no sambal, no gravy. It was just brown rice with some crackers, some fried fish, some bitter greens, and the soft, soggy papadum. The lamb stew was too salty. What's strange is that they gave another plate of rice free. We wonder if it's cos the stew was too salty! Good thing for us is that the nasi lemak was lemak enough. That was about it. Even the sambal wasn't up to mark. The drinks were presented well. However, it was overpriced. For the amount we paid, we could get a way better meal elsewhere. The atmosphere was nice as it was right by the spring. That is the only consolation. Service was polite, but far from efficient . This is a skip recommendation from us.

We had our breakfast at Rainforest Restaurant which is included in our stay here for one night. There is 6 sets of breakfast meal you can choose from and it comes with complimentary fruits and yogurt. We enjoy our pancakes and american breakfast. There is bottomless coffee and tea station with bread for you to enjoy. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful and they are knowledgable on the product. Heard that the food is a bit pricey but I think it is worth it especially it is located deep inside the jungle with such a great environment.

One of the best place to take lunch, and only restaurant situated within Hot Spring Park. There plenty of local restaurants out of park as well. Rainforest restaurant serves local food but better version, so that foreigners can also enjoy not too spicy meals. Offering Buffet style lunch when many people pre-book this place. Mostly ala-cart menu. They accept credit cards. WiFi have, but you need request pin code from workers. My favourite was Naci Goreng Kampong, meaning Fright rice village style.

My sister's order of nasi lemak set was rm25. I was hoping to have western food but none available so I didn't order any food. The honey lemon tea was not worth the calories. There was no fan anywhere near where we were seated so it was hot. This eatery used to be good but nowadays I wouldn't come here unless I don't have any other choice. The overall ambience was good thus making up for the shortcomings.
