    My first visit. Had their tea break set. A few choices to choose from. I enjoyed the waffle with bacon and cream. Comes with choice of tea too. Burnt cheesecake is also good. Will Come back for their porky dishes soon

    Enjoyed the meal. The shoulder pork steak was tender and juicy. Service was prompt and efficient. Staffs were friendly. Not too noisy. Though a tad expensive but do look out for promotions and vouchers for discount. Worth it. Update: Came back for dinner. Food and service was good.

    Second time dining at Ante. First time was during Christmas at the pork steak was excellent. Second time here and ordered Pork Shoulder - it is not as juicy as the the steak and took awhile to chew but it is not rubbery. This is not as mind blowing so I recommend getting the pork steak instead. Curry char siu pasta was an interesting dish to try. It’s not spicy and good to order for sharing! Ambience : 3/5 Lighting is slightly dark and tables are packed very closely. You could hear the conversation from the next table so it was rather uncomfortable.

    The pork steak was amazing! The fat just melts in your mouth and the meat was tender and juicy! I can’t emphasize enough how much I liked it. It was definitely better than the pork shoulder in my opinion. The roasted vegetables were superb as well. It was well seasoned and easy to chew. You won’t regret ordering the fries as the sides either, they are all fresh from the fryer, so you know you’re getting the best fries out there. Only thing I wouldn’t recommend would be their minestrone soup. The vegetables were all hard to chew. The flavor itself was okay though. The service was good, it was super busy but they were consistent with their delivery. If you guys want to try them out, it would best if you reserve a place.

    Food is honestly so so at this branch compare to publika. Ordered pork shoulder but the texture were over tenderised , it's meats muscle like torn down with a weird pinch taste of lamb mint sauce look alike. give extra star for the great customer service who handles the feedback , feel sincere trying to figure out what went wrong. Offered waffle as dessert too to compensate but didn't take it, too full from salad. Oh ya, salad surprisingly the best. The focaccia garlic bread, let's just soggy and minus the word garlic.

    One of the places to satisfy that non-halal craving. Delicious pasta and good salad. The slab of meat on the chop and fries can be rather bland and was too lean to my liking. Had a tough time finishing it.

    If you are a big fan of pork you may try their pork ribeye. Do avoid their truffle fries, can't really taste the truffle. Bacon salad sauce is a bit sweet to my liking. Service is good and outdoor seating is available.

    Had a celebratory meal here. Very spacious interior and knowledgeable staff. Concise menu and pictorial was helping in decision making. Food - 7/10 1) Truffle butter pork steak - Pork steak was juicy and well cooked. The meat was perfectly balanced with lean and fat. There was not much truffle taste to it and the butter sauce was abit over powering. 2) Iberico pork ribs - Well marinated and executed really well.Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Def will come back for this. 3) Seabass definitely did not look as advertised, the fish served was in small portion and the cous cous combination may be a hit and miss for many. Staff Attentiveness - 7/10 - Was difficult to flag down staff even during off peak period time when there was only 4 tables.

    Taste is consistent and very nice, even pork chops (notorious for being easily overcooked and dry) were very juicy by themselves. Place your reservations or come early especially during weekends.

    So called Best Pork Chop in Town with winning prizes. However, the Pork Shoulder is juicy but the taste is different from what I had previously, quality dropped, bit disappointing. The BBQ pork is okay. Drinks Lychee Soda is fresh and light, good to have to balance up heavy meal. I might visit again to try the Pork Loin.

    food there is good, the meat is tender and juicy. their spaghetti options came with generous portion of meat. but their prices are getting higher and higher each time i visit them, partially due to the rise in pork price. usually i visit only when there are freebies.

    Set lunch available here unlike the outlet @publika. Awesome porki goodness. Was caught by suprised that the hainanese pork chop is still available in sep. The campaign in August must be good for it to extend. Definitely a must try if it is still available. 👍👍

    Good western food. We had pork rib, bacon salad, curry speggetti and fries. All reasonable good, not too dry. Free slice of birthday cake as it is my dad birthday. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again in future.

    I tried their set lunch and ordered the striploin steak. It is delicious and the portion is huge. They manage to cook it so well that the texture of the steak feels good in your mouth. The environment is quite relaxing & clean. It is a good place to spend time with your family and friends. The service is good and they are really efficient in serving the food although it was crowded. Overall a good experience and will come back again.

    I recently had an unfortunate dining experience with the food quality and I am glad to say the Ante management dealt with it swiftly. Aside from that, I must mention that the house smoked bacon was really something and I may consider coming back to try the rest of the menu.

    Best restaurant ever..awesome service..look for Opu!

  • 5/5 Jackie (. 6 months ago on Google
    The pork chop is juicy and tender though we ordered leaner cuts. Even my mom loves it. The salad exceeds my expectations and it’s not those typical salad with smelly dressing that we usually see in the western restaurant. All ingredients are of high quality so do expect things to be pricer (but worth it!). The alcoholic is another highlight and they do have promotions with the afternoon tea set (cheaper price for coffee + cake set). The service staff is attentive and explained nicely to us regarding the point system. Will encourage other customers to join the membership to collect points and enjoy the discounts.

  • 3/5 Chi-Tze A. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place to eat after go for shopping. The taste of the food were average. But their desserts were great and fantastic.

  • 5/5 Ainsley C. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is good with big portion. Tasty, too. Specialises in pork, so it's non-halal.

  • 4/5 Wong L. 7 months ago on Google
    A non-halal western restaurant that serves a variety of food and beverages. Environment is clean and a good place to chill with family and friends. Tried the Iberico baby ribs. Taste satisfactory but portion is small for the price. The Carbonara pasta was delicious. A lot of ingredients and portion is quite big. Overall, price is on the high side.

  • 5/5 Isaac V. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food. Perfectly done pork chop, Juicy, yet not undercooked. Eating from different edges of the pork chop is a different experience. Best part is the set lunch menu is under rm30, drinks included.

  • 4/5 Hammond L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food and good portions, very reasonably priced. Good service by very attentive team of waiters. Kids love the menu selection too. There is also a lunch menu, and even more value for money. The restaurant is also easy to find.

  • 4/5 Gareth D. 5 months ago on Google
    Haven't been here for years, used to come due to Entertainer app. Food is still good, portions are decent, taste is nice, some dishes are very overpriced tho e.g RM38 for cheesy fries is ridiculous. Service was good and environment is pleasant.

  • 5/5 Lydia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Packed place. Food is good. Huge portions. Truffle fries were crunchy. Pork strip loin was tender and flavourful. The char siu curry pasta was a delight. Definitely the highlight of the meal. Bailey cake was dlish with taste and smell.

  • 5/5 Samantha W. 2 years ago on Google
    Food: Baby Rib & Pork shoulder are nice to try. Portion: 2pax to share is more than enough. Rate: Reasonable.

  • 5/5 Sherry Y. 4 months ago on Google
    Here to treat myself a birthday lunch, glad that it doesn't be spoiled, in fact it is great enjoy here. I have their set lunch pork striploin with lettuce and mash potato as sides, complimentary with ice lemon tea. It's delicious, the pork striploin mostly lean but is not dry. Taste even better dipped with the sauce served. I also ordered wild mushroom soup, not that outstanding with such price but still good. Their staffs are nice and friendly, being asked how the food after I was done 😊 The vibe is good too. I have a very good experience here. Just the price has decided that I will only consume here when there is something for to treat myself 😅

  • 3/5 kyto 5 months ago on Google
    truffle pork chop was the best. mushroom soup is a miss, not creamy or tasty. carbonara pasta is better than the bolognese. cheese balls can also skip. staff are friendly only one / two not too attentive & slow. environment is okay.

  • 4/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    Dined in at this cafe at around 430pm today (10/12/2022). Was ushered by a friendly waiter. There have tea break special for coffee/tea with cakes/ waffles. With total price is RM18++. The environment was cosy and not as crowded as in Starbucks or Coffee Beans. The cakes were delicious esp the burnt cheese cake. I loved it. The cappuccino latte with additional RM4 was great too. However, the light was very dim and dark. We didn't feel comfortable if sitting there for too long. One thing surprise me was the waiter and waitress are not wearing the uniform. They were in normal clothes that made us confused who to call for when comes to ordering. Nevertheless for every ringgit spent at this cafe, you will be given one point and can get free one coffee of your choice on next visit when you total collected points are 75 and above!

  • 4/5 KP L. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here for dinner to check out their pork steaks. Ordered a few of the steaks and some cheesy fries to go with it. Food was rather good and the park steak was done just nicely. Worth a try if you are into pork steaks but they have also other varieties on their menu. Service is also quite fast and efficient.

  • 3/5 Cheng J. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting flavors with tandoori sauce on pork chop. Soft and juicy in flavor. We had cappuccino there too with the milk letting it down slightly but overall good. Solid performance

  • 4/5 Gavin P. 4 months ago on Google
    Pretty good pork chop. The meat was thick and flavorful. The sauce was delicious. Sides are sweet potatoes, onions and cucumbers. RM50+ after service charge and sales tax. It was crowded on Christmas day. Expect to wait for food.

  • 5/5 Jet C. 1 year ago on Google
    Visit some years ago to their Publika outlet and this round here was not disappointed at all. Must ordered their pork steak as it is grilled well, juicy and meaty. Gravy is flavorful. Sides like Truffle fries, borscht is decent. The baby ribs are delicious too. Portion is quite big, small eaters can share. Service is great unless is pack to the brim during peak lunch hour. Will revisit if have the chance.

  • 5/5 Suzanne L. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered lunch set which came together with a choice of Lemon Tea or Lemonade. Service was alright. Food was still as good. Had Bolognese and Striploin Steak. Portion is huge. Upon paying, you can key in your mobile number to collect points and redeem at a later stage, once you have collected sufficient points.

  • 4/5 Eileen L. 9 months ago on Google
    Haven't been here in years. But the Signature Pork steaks are still very good. Had the Pork Rib Eye and it was tender, juicy. Their Creamy Mocha was good too! All in, surprised that the food was still so good. Satisfied meal indeed. But the service standard definitely not how it used to be. Still passable though.

  • 4/5 aarinfantasy 10 months ago on Google
    Dine in June 2023. We ordered Pork Shoulder steak, Lamb Chop steak and Garlic Olio pasta (3 people). Both the pork and lamb are very nice and cooked very well, with really huge portion, so it's fine for the price. However, the vegetables were kind of dry compared to usual as we have been there quite a number of times. The Garlic Olio was just okay and was a bit too al dente for my liking compared to usual by the restaurant. But we will continue to support the restaurant as they serve good food and especially during their SMS promo or their set lunches.

  • 4/5 Selena T. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the carbonara spaghetti! Creamy and the carbonara sauce was cooked with egg yolk. The pork shoulder is juicy and flavourful, though I wish it was less fats. Service was okay despite the crowd. I’ll come back if I’m craving for carbonara spaghetti.

  • 4/5 Tarrant K. 1 year ago on Google
    Tl;dr: Great pork chops, decently executed rest of menu. While it may look like a knock-off Ms. Read its actually a non-halal restaurant with a very confident selection of pork chop cuts. However, they're thick cuts, and therefore are juicy and aren't cooked to within an inch if their lives. This alone is worth ordering. Salad was incredibly average. Staff were competent. Very noisy.

  • 5/5 SaltedBread (. 5 months ago on Google
    Been here over the years. Although it's definitely on the pricier side, it's VERY worth it. The flavours are fantastic and unique where I haven't tasted anything similar. Plus the occasional amazing vouchers you get (basically rm60 off) , it's hard to not recommend trying this at least once. Staff are attentive and friendly as well. It's a smaller menu but nearly everything on it is fantastic. I highly recommend the pork steaks as it is a must try here!

    The Ante Signature Pork Ribeye was incredibly fat and greasy. The sauce was nothing special too. Definitely not worth RM48. Popcorn chicken was great though.

  • 5/5 Athina M. 5 years ago on Google
    Scrumptious food and wouldn't recommend pork steak anywhere else. Portion size is huge and they have good promos when you join in the loyalty program. Upon points collection of around 700, you're entitled to get 50% on your next order of wine bottle. The wine lists are fairly priced. 100% would recommend.

    Pork and bacon lover, must try. Quite good and ambience is comfortable, not very noisy.

  • 4/5 Caryn J. 3 years ago on Google
    Walked pass while shopping and saw Ante had RM17++ cake/dessert with drinks. Pretty good deal as nowadays cake itself also cost RM15++. The cheesecake had very good texture. I don't like the tea brand, after i had Premiers tea brand, i have not liked any other tea brand since. The waffles was soso. Workers are friendly and welcoming.
