What do recent reviews say?

Matcha enthusiasts rave about the quality and range, with many calling it the best in Malaysia. Reviewers consistently praise the authentic Japanese teahouse feel, high-end ingredients sourced from their own farm, and staff who go out of their way to help. Portions are small and prices steep, but those who understand what they're paying for find it worth the visit. The QR code ordering system occasionally frustrates, and parking can be tight in Taman Paramount's corner location. Solo diners report occasional seating frustration during busy hours.

Nine matcha varieties let you explore different flavor profiles, from smooth and mellow (Ryo, RM16) to umami-rich (Yu, RM22). Three rice dishes anchor the menu, with hojicha waffle and parfaits as sweet options. Staff recover quickly from mistakes and remember regulars. The small, beautifully decorated space feels more like a Kyoto tea house than a shopping mall cafe, though it means capacity limits during peak times.

Most visitors come for the cats and leave happy. Reviewers describe calm, friendly felines and a relaxed room that suits a slow afternoon. Many say the coffee, drinks, and cake are good, and several praise the staff for being warm and helpful. The main complaint is a rough entry. One visitor waited outside for a long time, was told the cafe was full, and saw members walk in. Some reviewers also note drinks cost more unless you hold a membership, and that donations are asked from members.

Diners like the pasta, the large portions, and the low prices. Many praise the warm auntie service. Slow food delivery at busy times and a few waffle and payment complaints pull the rating down a little.
