What recent reviews say

A small udon and brunch cafe in Damansara Utama with two friendly, calm house cats that welcome your own pets. Reviewers consistently praise the quiet, clean space, fresh dishes (udon, katsu, curry rice), fair prices, and speciality coffees. Staff are attentive when available, though lunch rushes reveal staffing gaps and occasional quality lapses in baked goods.

The experience shines for solo diners and small groups seeking a peaceful work or dining spot. Cats are genuinely well-behaved and sociable, not a gimmick. Fair warning: peak hours can mean slow service, and quality control on desserts needs tightening.

Recent shift: Slight dip in consistency around six months ago (Review 1 noted burnt cookies, long waits despite positive food feedback). Current sentiment remains strong overall, but QC and staffing remain watch-points.
