Wondermilk

4.1(447)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Wondermilk draws crowds for cupcakes, cakes, and coffee in a visually striking two-counter space in Damansara Utama. Regulars praise the aesthetic and staff friendliness, but recent visits show mixed results: portion sizes have shrunk, food quality dips unpredictably, and staff sometimes lack product knowledge. Arrive early if you want specific items, as inventory dwindles fast.

Ajuuma - Korean Food

4.2(167)✓ Verified

Diners consistently praise Ajuuma's soups, especially kimchi-jjigae and beef kimchi soup, along with crispy side dishes and generous portions at reasonable prices. However, kitchen consistency falters: some customers encounter oversalted or overly sweet mains, poorly textured noodles, missing sauce and egg when ordering takeout, and a venue that gets uncomfortably hot during service despite air conditioning.

Tsuru Tsuru

4.8(257)✓ Verified

Staff shortages and occasional quality slips aside, Tsuru Tsuru delivers consistently good udon, curry, and specialty coffee in a calm, pet-friendly setting. The two house cats charm visitors and guests can bring their own; the cafe feels especially welcoming to people who value quiet over crowds. The space is clean with decent air conditioning and plug points for work. Service is warm, portions generous, though food prices run slightly above average for the area. Lunch rushes create waits, and baked goods have drawn complaints about burning.
