05MayAffordable Bistro at Kokopelli, PJ

Having read the review of this restaurant lately and knowing that they just relocate to somewhere near my house, me and my wife went to gave this a try one night. Is not hard to find. It is located in Section 19, just opposite Jaya 32 (Three Two Square) inside a residential terrace house.

The restaurant is actually occupying some sort of a residential home converted into a restaurant so you can expect some cozyness inside. The place is not huge with a limited number of tables. Luckily, we went early so there wasn’t any crowd.

Mostly they serve western food with a little bit of local cuisine like Char Koay Teow. The CKT was actually my reason for being there as all the reviews that I read was actually commenting on how great the CKT is. We ordered a roast chicken and a plate of CKT. The presentation is nice and it tasted pretty nice too. As for the infamous CKT, while it is not bad, but it wasn’t as good as what I expected after reading all the reviews.

The drink section is pretty normal. You have some cool naming beverages but the real thing is nothing special.

Overall, the food quality was pretty good and the service was good. However, the pricing is a little bit high for the settings. You can probably pay 10% more and get real western food from Chilis. Expect to pay RM20-25 per pax for a main and a drink.

    Worst ever restaurant i ever been through. As the service was horrible.
    Served the soup but no soup spoon, NEED TO WAIT FOR 20 MINUTES TO WAIT FOR A SOUP SPOON and Chili Sauce as we spoken to the waitress. As she was busy handling another group.
    Thereafter we requested to see the manager. Told the manager what happen and requested for the bill ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT CONSUME ANY FOOD and the manager insist to us we do not need to pay anything if we are not happy with the services, although we keep insist to pay. AS WE ARE WALKING OFF THE MANAGER SAID “PLEASE DO NOT COME AGAIN AND WE DON’T NEED CUSTOMERS LIKE YOU”. Good job to the Manager as the service industry wants people LIKE YOU. Good Luck to whoever that is going to dine in this restaurant assuming that he don’t need business anymore. A business that opens not more than 2 months, thought of enjoying the Halloween Day with this BAD experience. People please think twice whenever you want to step in to this restaurant.

    hi, i believe this just an exception case and probably can be avoided or at least ended with a more peaceful tone if some consideration can be given. if the waitress was lazy around and ignoring your request, then you have all the rights to be mad about it.

    during bz hours, these things happen and can’t be helped. nobody faults sometimes. even if the waitress are rili lazying around. but at least the owner are willing to take full responsibilities by waiving off the bill. they took the hard first step. honestly, you should just take the easy second step and leave without paying.

    but you insisted to pay in order for you to send a message across. you may think you have the rights to do so (which you have). but by doing so you can’t blame them anyone to send back a message back to you. they have the rights too.
