a week agoEverything about De.Wan 1958 is so beautiful and thoughtfully done — from the vibrant maximalist interiors to the plating & presentation. All the food we ordered, especially the mackerel, was delicious. It was such a nice memorable touch that they serve you 2 types of rice, the blue butterfly pea coconut rice and the pink pomegranate beetroot rice.

3 weeks agoGreat experience here. Mr.Shah was very attentive and made sure all our needs were met. He and the team did a fantastic job surprising my mother for her birthday. The staffs friendly and the service was excellent. The food was delicious and reasonably priced (met our expectations). A wonderful dining experience, will definitely be back.

4 months agoMy partner and I had lunch here, and we loved it! Every dish was super tasty – we finished it all!👍The place is big and beautifully decorated, so it feels really nice to sit and enjoy the meal. The staff were great, especially IQRA, who took amazing care of us.💕We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good food and a nice vibe.

a week agoI have been a loyal patron of De.Wan 1958 The Linc KL Branch for many years, and their iftar buffet has always been a highlight of Ramadan for me. However, this year, I found the experience disappointing. The overall standard has dropped significantly.My go-to dishes, which are Nasi Telur Terengganu, Bubur Pulut Hitam, and Bubur Cha Cha, did not meet the usual quality. The Nasi Telur Terengganu was a letdown because the rice was not cooked well. It turned out sticky rather than the usual fluffy, well-separated grains (sebiji-sebiji). The first batch of Bubur Pulut Hitam tasted sour and lacked its usual creamy texture. When I confronted the staff about this, they excused it by saying the chef was fasting and could not taste the food properly. I found this reasoning unacceptable because I have been coming here for years and know the standard of De.Wan’s food. I even showed them my 2019 visit and a past review to make my point, as this was simply a poor excuse.The service was also below expectations. The ingredients for the Rojak Buah were not replenished, and I had to wait nearly 15-20 minutes and request a refill. For a Michelin-starred restaurant, I expected better attention to detail, both in terms of food quality and service.Given the price, I left feeling let down. We have always looked forward to breaking fast here each year, but perhaps next Ramadan, it is time to explore other options.Nevertheless, my review is meant to be constructive rather than destructive. I sincerely pray for Dato’ Chef Wan’s speedy recovery and good health. Aamiiin 🤲🏼.

a week agoI visited here to celebrate CNY with colleagues, their lousang is the best that I’ve ever tried in KL! Their lousang is very aromatic with the sambal spread over, making the lousang a very alluring starter👍 For the meals, it’s tasty but abit pricey for this kind of taste. So for me, I would only visit when we have Malays friends going along for lunch/ dinner. For the atmosphere, the view is abit disappointing as I expect a little bit much for this kind of pricing.
