Get the kaya toast. It's the one thing almost nobody argues about, and the belachan wing and pan mee have their own fans. The nasi lemak splits people, some call it their favorite in the city and others say the coconut rice has no flavor. The room is cramped and it's counter service, and regulars say it's gotten inconsistent and needs a deep clean.

“Kopitiam is overrated (I’m half Malaysian, grew up visiting Malaysia and love the food). The food at Kopitiam is small portions, super salty and the flavors don’t go well together also seems like everything has been sitting for a while and not freshly made to order.”

“It's well past its prime and desperately needs a deep cleaning. Last time I was there, boxes and random garbage were stacked everywhere, the tables were sticky, and the chopsticks were pretty worn out.”

“Last time I went I got char kway teow and it was extremely overcooked while also lacking flavor. I also got a curry bun which also was lacking flavor. Can't speak for the other items on their menu, but at least those 2 items were very disappointing.”
