The photos of this place look far better than reality. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Great cocktail. The food let it down. I had the crab cakes which were pretty bland. And I ordered chicken noodles which came with friend spinach - A...LOT of friend spinach and a weird broth. Not the best.More
I decided to come here with my girlfriend for our first year anniversary, and we left feeling very happy with our decision! Staff was super friendly, food was amazing (I recommend the duck!), cocktails were great, and the atmosphere was very nice. The owner was...there and he gave us free shots and dessert since we were celebrating, which was a very nice gesture. Can recommend for anyone in KL looking for a nice place for any celebration, or simply looking for delicious Chinese food.More
A corner restaurant bar along Changkat. The name Old Shanghai is very intriguing, so my friends and I decided to make reservations for dinner. We were late 15-20mins and the nice thing was they held our table for us and remembers and were expecting us!...We were shown indoor and my 1st impression is the interior isn’t as impressive as I’d imagine based on the restaurant name “Old Shanghai”. The settings and the bar is nice , not Wow. The food and drinks menu is nice! And I get again ahead of myself. I ordered 50 Shades of Grey as I like Vodka and passion fruit and citrusy drinks and my friends tried the Wind Spirits. I like the names of the cocktails, it’s very interesting. My drink is 👍🏻👍🏻 However the food aren’t impressive… it’s ok , let’s say I would come back for drinks but not for the food. Overall I Like the place, the staffs are friendly and nice, and it’s not as noisy and crazy as other joints in Changkat.More
Great little spot on a hopping Jalan in KL. Good food ( Nasi addict!) free dumplings w a drink and pleasant staff. Great spot for people watching. Surprised it was so busy on a Monday eve.
We chose to dine at on New Years Eve, we were staying close with our family and we had been to Old Shanghai (previously Opium). We were therefore really disappointed after our dinner. As we had booked so early we thought we would get a...good table, we were placed near the musician and we couldn’t hear each other speak and we were basically forgotten about. When we were finally served dishes were forgotten about and we needed to re-order, the same happened with drinks . We waited for 20 mins for a beer, re-ordered and then waited another 10 mins to be finally told that they had run out. We saw a staff member walking around for 5 mins with a meal trying to work out what table the order should go to. I think that we were unfortunate with our table placement as other people came in, ordered and left while we were still waiting for our food. The food was good but the wait and the service marred the experience, we were also with children that were really fed up by the experience.More
Great services thanks Poy. Great cocktails and excellent food. He knows the menu very well, the best and hot seller, drinks of the month, and he knows exactly which drinks suit our taste after listening to our preference. Plus, he was super friendly and with...a great smile. 😊More
Every item of food was on point and so delicious. Cocktails were fantastic. Staff were friendly and service was great. We had my wife’s birthday there and she absolutely loved it. Would definitely go again!!
A great spicy noodle soup, nice heat in the broth, juicy prawns, chicken. Service was good. The beer was served a little differently than usual. Overall very good and enjoyable
Went there last night, the place was almost empty. We ordered several things off the menu and some drinks. The drinks were excellent but the food was just ok and very small portions. The service was pretty fast but the price was high (195RM) for...4 appetizers (two types of xio mai, 1 shrimp curry, 1 bowl of rice, 1 very small salad) and 3 non-alcoholic drinks. Atmosphere was nice but we had a lady talking loudly on her phone for about 20 minutes so that was unpleasant.More
Nice ambiance and great food! Service was great and Thanks to Roy who is always available to assist us and give us surprises! Love the Beef Rendang, Salted Egg Carbonara (though a bit heavy), Fighting Cock Wings, Lemongrass Sticks, Will definitely visit this restaurant again!
Although the ambience was great, the food and service were terribly lacking. The food was white-washed, lacking flavour and spice. The dim sum served tasted as if it was store bought from the frozen aisle of a supermarket. The beef rendang had no punch and...was watered down. Other dishes were barely memorable and overpriced. The waiters were also not attentive and slow. Am very disappointed considering the good reviews. Our experience certainly did not reflect the 4.5 rating. As a local, would not come again or recommend to anyone. Seems like just a tourist trap to me.More
The environment inside the restaurant was wonderful. Our server, Roy, had very good recommendations for cocktails and food. We will definitely be back!
Great food with a terrific ambiance. Service was top notch, our main server was Roy who was attentive and quick. He also provided excellent recommendations. We will be back.
Food very tasty, prices are reasonable. Good location. Recommended restaurant along Bukit Bintang...
Visited Opium KL again after MCO 2.0. Food standard and quality has dropped. Lots of mosquitos after rain. Overall, uncomfortable and not the similar expectations as before.
