What recent reviews say
Mimi Nguyen Cafe serves traditional Vietnamese food that draws loyalty from long-time diners, with pork ribs, soups, and noodle dishes winning consistent praise. Recent visits have surfaced troubling gaps: orders vanish in the kitchen during quiet periods, takeaway portions arrive with visible contamination, and quality swings sharply between visits, leaving some customers with food they cannot eat.
Recent shift: A notable downturn in the past month: repeated food quality and contamination complaints, service lapses, and a loyal 7-year customer's frustration suggest recent operational decline.

Shiok
4.4(2230)✓ Verified
Shiok draws steady praise for tasty, hearty meals served by warm staff in a pleasant renovated space. Portions are generous and prices sit in the moderate range (RM 20–40 per person); the main friction is that kids' meals tend toward heavy oil, and a handful of diners feel costs are creeping upward.
