👍 Very good buffet dinner. Ala carte style mixture of local and western. Most dishes were very tasty but there were a few misses as expected from any buffets. Service very friendly too! Recommended if you want to dine with convenience at your hotel or have a different Penang experience. Instagram @i...

    A fancy restaurant located within g kelawei. Serves different lunch set menus everyday. Food quality was so-so but the ambience was nice. However not recommend for a quick lunch spot.

    We had a sumptuous and happy Chinese New Year Reunion Buffet Dinner at Spoon @ G Hotel Kelawai. Location: The hotel sits behind its sister hotel, G Hotel Gurney, and beside the very popular and iconic Gurney Plaza Mall. Parking: Plenty of paid parking bays at the hotel or at the Gurney Plaza parking bays. Ambience: Our family is of the opinion that Spoon @ G Hotel Kelawai is a very impressive F&B wing of the hotel in that it exudes an air of privacy and comfort for both top-tier executives and discerning diners. Buffet Spread: Our Reunion dinner comprised an outstanding list of buffet items comprising starters, entrees, soups, action noodle station, fruits, delightful desserts (cakes, tartlets, traditional Chinese New Year cookies and goodies, ice cream, and more). Beverages include a selection of coffee choices from the coffee machines, tea as well as fresh juices. Food Quality: Of high standards. Price: Value for money considering the long list of variety and amount of food offered for 3.5 hours (6.30pm - 10pm). Lavatory: Very clean and comfortable. Overall Experience: Delighted by the Spoon associates for their absolute attentiveness and friendliness and, most of all, the willingness to help us celebrate the CNY Reunion. Thank you and keep the high quality food and service up. Useful Info: 1. Booking is necessary.

    Had an enjoyable dining experience here recently. We had buffet lunch. Desserts selection is varied and beautifully presented. The presentation of the fruit platters is also delightful.

    Quiet and good service, especially when it’s so crowded in Gurney Plaza just next door. Such an oasis in the restaurant! Reasonably good food too. I lost my parking ticket and the Reception staff was kind enough to help me without having to pay a penalty (such helpful staff!!)

    Tried the CNY celebration set. Totally disappointed with the food quality. The seafood Misua smells really bad and very fishy. The hot and sour soup is also not up to standard. Chilli Sauce Seabass is the only OK dish. Desert and Coffee is fine.

    SPOON is not just another cafe in a hotel. The minimalist dining environment featuring Peranakan motif cement tiles on its flooring is perfect for family and friends’ gathering. Another selling point is that for buffets, only small portions of food are dished up each time to ensure freshness and quality of the food while minimizing food wastage. Christmas/New Year is the best time to visit this cafe and be sure to book early to entitle for some early bird discounts.

    Caught a buggy from G Gurney to have brunch catching up with friends at Spoon in G Kelawi. Pleasantly surprised by the unhurried ambience feel of the place compared with G Gurney. Set lunch is well priced with a good selection of 3 mains; starter salad, soup, main, dessert, and coffee or tea included in the one price of $25pp. You can't go much wrong here, topped with great service from the staff. Highly recommended.

    Avoid!!! We waited 2 and a half hours for 2 x hainanese chicken rice and a seafood spaghetti. I have never waited so long for food in my life, and even more unacceptable in a 5 star hotel. Seafood spaghetti was tasty, hainanese chicken rice was inedible as the rice was undercooked and had no flavour. Manager gave 50% off, but we should not have paid at all. He was unapologetic stating that there was a big party and that the rice needed to be cooked from scratch. What a terrible attitude for a manager to have! The other waiting staff were apologetic and doing their best. The manager could use some lessons from his staff on how to deal with customers. EDIT: Breakfast buffet is good quality, with a nice selection of options. Staff are extremely helpful. Manager has since apologised for the previous dinner. Dinner buffet on Friday and Saturday is OK, quality of the dishes could be improved especially give the price is RM120+. Changed from 1 to 3 stars.

    Very good food. Not many vegetarian options, but they tasted good. Desserts were delicious. Great service.

    This is my second visit and I am writing to share our experience when we dine in @Spoon for Christmas Buffet Dinner. There were 10 of us (7 adults and 3 seniors). Approximately 36 hours after, 4 of us had a mix of food poisoning. My brother in law was the worst with vomit and diarrhea and had to visit the clinic for a jab and took medicine as he had to travel back on a flight. Remaining 3, either vomited or diarrhea with nauseas feeling for almost 36 hours. Why we suspected it was the buffet because all 4 of them consumed the oysters on the ice, and probably some other seafood on ice as well. To be fair, my mum took some oysters too and fortunately she was OK. Remaining of the family members were not affected as they did not consumed the oysters. When I read through about food poisoning from Fresh Oysters, symptoms may appear within 12-72hours after consumption. As we could only highly suspected that the oysters were contaminated, please be informed that it is up to you to consider oysters consumption yourself if you were to dine in SPOON next time. Overall, it was still a pleasant dining experience with decent servings (could have been much better with the grill section as the grill fish was extremely chewy) with slightly pricier food tag due to Christmas - paid RM1800 for 10pax. Food were tagged wrongly, example beef satay was tagged with Chicken satay and salmon was tagged with some beef dishes name. Lastly, I have email to g-hotel about the food poisoning experience 1 week ago but no reply was received, which is a great disappointment from a 5 star hotel.
