What do recent reviews say?

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.

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

Reviewers consistently praise the craft behind drinks like monte blanc and dirty matcha, along with fresh savoury dishes like grilled chicken and onion rings. The space is clean and spacious with stable wifi, making it workable during quieter morning slots. Service and ambiance score well overall, though a few note the cafe can get loud at peak times. The team customizes dishes on request (vegetarian substitutions noted). Prices sit comfortably in the moderate range, with cappuccino at RM 10 and mains anchoring the value proposition. One caveat: some chicken dishes have arrived underseasoned or overcooked, suggesting execution dips occasionally on the hot savoury line.

Brass Cafe in Pjs 52 splits its guests. Buffet diners often praise the price and the sashimi and sushi. Ala carte orders draw complaints about slow service, overcooked pasta, and mixed-up reservations. Staff praise appears in older reviews.

Most reviewers praise the Vietnamese noodles and baguettes, generous portions, and fresh baked items at fair prices. Service is consistently warm and attentive. However, two separate one-star reviews from a year ago report finding roaches in food, a serious concern that appears to have been addressed in recent months given the run of five-star ratings.
