What recent reviews say

Brass Cafe divides sharply: half of reviewers praise welcoming staff and buffet variety, while the other half report glacial waits, raw meat, and staff indifference. Food quality swings wildly across visits, with buffets faring better than à la carte orders.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Strong ratings driven by staff warmth, tasty Malaysian and Asian dishes, and fair pricing on curry puffs, nasi lemak, and catering orders. Minor notes: one reviewer found a curry puff dry and overpriced; kitchen closures have limited breakfast options on some visits.

The buffet experience here varies week to week. Food variety and value are strong on weekend high-teas, and a la carte dishes like curry fish head earn praise for freshness and portion size. But quality slips in the buffet rotation: items go stale, replenishment lags, and the kitchen struggles with consistency. Service is slow even during quiet hours, and the dining room can feel cramped and noisy. Last-minute cancellations without proper notice have frustrated online bookers.

Dylan and other trained staff deliver warm, attentive service that impresses most visitors; cakes, coffee, and tea are solid, and the PJ33 location draws regular customers. Ongoing frustration with inconsistent attitudes from some staff members and a noisy, poorly-positioned air-conditioning unit that has sat unresolved since May 2026 dent what could be seamless repeat visits.
