"Really appreciate the honesty and kindness of the staff here. I accidentally left my belongings at the restaurant, and they kept it safely for me. Thank you so much to the team for being so responsible and helpful. Also, if you come here, do try the Thai spaghetti—it’s delicious! The cakes are tasty too. Will definitely come back again. #lurve"

"It's been 3 years since i went to the Secret Recipe. It definitely didn't disappoint me as this company had maintained their food quality. I was impressed with the additional menu and drinks which didn't exist back then. I had Hainan Chicken Chop, Caffe Latte and a few hokkaido tarts. They were all delicious and the family was happy with the overall food. The atmosphere was perfect on a hot day since it's enclosed with AC. The staff were pleasant and kept the hygiene clean by using a face mask. We came back twice and will definitely come back again on our future trips."

"Food - all branches setakat ni sama saja. Good Service - when i hustle to open the door with other hand holding baby stroller, the staff tengok saja. Langsung x offer to help; hold the door. I wait for her to come, tapi she didnt. Haha. Adeii. I like their soft make up. Nice! I came at lunch time, packed. So many people. Cashier muka kelat tapi still very helpful. All other staff sibuk but still responding. Request a birthday song for my son, only 1 staff came holding cake without candle. I rasa awkward. Other branches usually datang nyanyi in a group. But it’s okay, my son is autistic. Risau juga dia react bila ramai orang datang nyanyi for him. Cuma terkilan, it came without candle. Budak kan suka part tiup tiup lilin tu. Atmosphere - Interior so beautiful. Hanging flowers at the cashier is so beautiful. However, cramp. Banyak kerusi meja. Agak susah to bring stroller inside. Same goes to wheelchair. Toilet clean tapi sempit. They sell HOKKAIDO BAKED CHEESE TART! Overall, will come again!"
