    Visit during COVID-19 period Order food thru website. Good and easy ordering system. Feel the caring on the ordered food packing (liquid based - soup & beverage) and a small warm card? Greeting card? given together with the ordered foods. Will give an impress that they really put their efforts to manage & maintain the business during this challenging timing. Foods tasty! Especially ice cream provided also yummy, it not like the normal ice cream taste so-so only. Variety of foods to choose. Price is ok for me. Parking is depends and sometimes have to park far a bit as nearby also have other restaurants with many visits as well.

    Went for lunch with the parents. Food was good and reasonably priced. Generous portion as well. Friendly service too. Located at the 3rd floor. Can go up directly using lift. Great value lunch sets.

    Take the elevator up to 3rd floor, a place for people to chill out, having beer. Nice decorated with leaves and monkeys hanging around. Many options from the menu, western, local delights, desserts and alcohols. Their foods served in big portion with below average prices and it tastes nice. Osmanthus jelly taste good but it’s like agar-agar texture which is firm, solid and chewy, if you preferred something soft then it’s not for you.

    I came in the hot afternoon. I must say that the place is very inviting. Semi dark, cool and soft relaxing music. I sat at the large windows and had a good view of the monotony of moving cars but its hypnotic nature does relax you on a hectic day. The beer came cold and was truly refreshing. While the white Russian definitely has a coffee kick to it. But both drinks were very enjoyable. The salmon aglio olio was quite delicious. The flavour well balanced without the overwhelming spice but a little dry in my opinion. A splash of olive oil would've elevated it I think. The accompanying salmon was thinly sliced and had a nice fried crackle but was, I felt, a bit dry. The kimchi fried rice was however delectable. Light and tasty. But the pork bulgogi gravy was a little heavy on what I think is gochujang sauce causing it to be a little spicy. But I did like it. It was generally a good experience except that the flow of food was a little slow and the time between my 2 food orders was i think more than 20mins. It would be nice for the food to arrive close to each other.

    I have been a regular customer since joining the forest's membership, and I have always received excellent service from the staff who take good care of all customers. However, recently, I've noticed that one staff member (older staff) has been displaying a very bad attitude. This has been disappointing for me, and I'm hesitant to recommend the place to my friends. Interestingly, some of my friends have shared similar sentiments. I sincerely hope that the management can take immediate action to resolve this issue. I genuinely love the place and its atmosphere. I particularly enjoy the performances on Saturdays and Sundays. The singer has fantastic interaction with all customers and adds a fun element to the experience

    Super duper tasty restaurant nearby my house. Love the ambiance, their customer service, reasonable price. Ordered cheezy pizza at the first visit, did not expect that would come at the big portion, and so yummmmy. Unfortunatelly, could not finish eat up, so took away. The cake dessert also on point, all in all I will visit again the soonest possible^^

    1.Service was great..just that when we took pics I feel a lil uncomfortable like one or two of the staff was watching me. 2. The environment quite nice was attracted with the environment in the restaurant through reviews in FB. 3. Food was delicious. Went there with my friends for birthday celebration, chosen the right date, they were having live singer(u guys called it as bar singer..?) They help out for celebration with singing birthday song. A stranger even present a apple fox to my friend (thanks!!!we were actually so grateful for that and felt pity didn't get to have a pic with him) okay get back to the food. Food didn't took long to prepare, we ordered the Chicken Parmigiana, Classic Carbonara, Seafood Aglio Oglio and some drinks and dessert.. and also cakes too. The main dish was very delicious three of them was nice the Chicken Parmigiana was kinda big was really full hahaha didn't like the taro dessert that much abit like.. healthy..? like that didn't add too much sugar on it haha but we finish it up. The night shift waitress was helpfulllll!!(we went there from evening till night so there's two shifts serving us haha) The bar singer was wonderful just that people at there didn't interact with them www For some helpful information: If you are planning to dine in, make a reservation cuz mostly it's full haha The live singer only (held?sorry for bad english) every Wed, Fri and Sat from 8.30pm to 11pm The average consumption for a person is around RM35 that's all.. thanks for the nice experience the Forest- Signature 🥰

    Took the family for lunch about a month ago, food was quite nice & pretty big portions, service was quite quick & friendly. Price was not bad.. only comment I’ll make is please don’t be so stingy when providing tissues/serviettes. Quite nice atmosphere but I think might be much more nicer at nights when the lights come on..

  • 4/5 SZE WEI T. 4 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    We used to come here a lot bck then. Came back here last week to find that portion is much smaller now. Taste unlike the way we used to like it for the homemade patty. Still lots of wedges and fries though. 🙂 The drink was full of ice and little drink actually.

    Visited here with buddies from 5pm when it's still bright where the lights shined through the glasses from outside. The mood changes towards the evening when the lights are dimmed down just nice for good fresh & cold Guinness drafted beers. This is located on 3nd floor being accessed by two lifts. Nice spacious environment with high ceiling, wide variety of snack food and dinner food to choose from, and best of all, super friendly service staffs. There's live band starting from 8.30pm onwards and customers get to write down songs names for them to sing. The voices are very good. We ordered mostly snacks. The luncheon pork is quite nice that we ordered three times. Chicken nuggets are fine too. There's value deal for ordering fries if you order certain set of the Guinness. Do finish the fries asap as they get hardened when getting cold.

    Suggest y'all call for booking. They have a poor table management schedule. Mainly due to slow kitchen. I not sure this is because of festive season or what, but is ridiculously slow. My bottomless drinks gone missing once :/ Anyway, food is nice.

    Great food. Great vibe. Good service. Great portion. Reasonable prices. Big selections of foods. The only bad thing about this place is parking in the area. This is actually a bar, but many families come here for the good food. Definitely added into my drinking place list with my buddies.

    Wonderful service from The Forest! Easy booking, fast confirmation, and accommodating staff for our party of 8 today. Some food comes with showmanship. The bbq pork ribs we ordered came with a torching performance 🔥 great entertainment for the kids and neighbouring tables. The live band starts at 830pm. Love the singer's voice - he accepts song orders too 🎶👌 Had a lovely time with family here. This place is great for family and big groups of people. All the staff seems young but super friendly. Highly recommended!

    Had the Wagyu beef burger. Tasted above average but could've been better if it had a homemade sauce instead of just mustard and mayo. The mocktail was good and restaurant ambience was nice. Service can be improved with proper training for the staff

  • 5/5 shu v. 2 years ago on Google

    Went for my mom birthday today. Ordered total 7 dishes. Environment is good, service is good as well. Food wise .. grilled chicken chop and premium chicken chop are nice. Ordered pork rib and golden pork burger as well. Very strong smell of pork , not recommended to order pork dishes . Food are in big portion . Price is okay . Overall, recommended if you r going for drinks , not recommended if for food.

    Comfortable environment for casual dining or gathering with friends. Access the cafe via the lifts located beside 幸福堂。Lots of greens inside the cafe but the light may be too dim. Singers singing at night, nice but the audio is too loud so once they starts to sing, we couldn't really chit chat.

  • 5/5 Philip 11 months ago on Google
    As per recommended by local, brought some friends from Taiwan. Food is nice and big portion. Family friendly and weekends has live band that starts at 8:30pm. Nice place to dine and chill. Many local beers and wine selection. Forgot to take picture of our main course.

  • 5/5 Jun H. 3 years ago on Google
    Air-conditioned cafe with nice and forest-themed environment. Overall, the food is very enjoyable. My favourite dish is definitely the aglio e olio seafood spaghetti as it has an authentic Italian flavour! The fish burger tastes incredible too and it also comes with drinks. Will visit again.

  • 4/5 Angie N. 1 year ago on Google
    Second visit after MCO. Here actually is a bar, but the vibe are also suitable for couples and families. The food is delicious, surprisingly big portion with reasonable price. The service is good, the only inadequacies is the parking lot, quite different to get parking during weekend lunch time. Definitely will has a third visit.

  • 1/5 MC N. 3 years ago on Google
    Called to make reservation but was informed to Whatsapp them instead. After whatsapp them my information/reservation, they auto reply and ask for my intention. What a bad service and first impression. There are other better service outlets around the area.

    I recently celebrated my baby's first birthday at this restaurant, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special, decorating the restaurant with balloons and customizing the menu selected by us. The atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect for a family celebration, with a warm and welcoming ambiance that made us feel comfortable. The food and drink selection was impressive, with delicious dishes that pleased both adults and kids alike. I must say that I was impressed with the portion size of food. The fresh ingredients, especially the salmon, were absolutely delicious. But what really stood out to me was the exceptional service provided by the restaurant staff. They made sure our table was always well-stocked with drinks and checked in frequently to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for any family celebration, birthday event or private party. The staff truly cares about their customers and knows how to create a memorable experience that will be cherished for years to come. Thank you for making our day so special!
