Great Concept, Great Value.

Easy to find place in the new town with plenty of parking nearby. The place itself has great decor, it's open, well-lit and the furniture is all pretty cute. The hearing-impaired theme of the restaurant is thoughtful and the goal of employing deaf or hearing-impaired people admirable. The restaurant is also so well-run, that you wouldn't even realise that this was something to be aware of.
The menu is excellently-priced and there is a good selection of Chinese cuisine food items. Salads are fresh and well-dressed, most of the mock-meat dishes are substituted with mushrooms and that was nice.
The only downside is that the menu is solid, but not exciting. You know pretty much what you're going to get and even though they do everything well, there's nothing on the menu that's going to make you come and visit this place solely to eat that one thing.

Pros: Cheaper Than Similar Restaurants For Similar Items, Great Business Goal, Great Theme

Cons: Lacking That One Really Great Dish

Lovely staff

Went there twice. Cute place to eat asian food and western food. Didn't enjoy the sauce of the mushroom burger but other meals were good.
The staff was deaf and so lovely! It's really good to find some places like that. Hope there will be more and more places like this in the world.
Totally recommand to go there.

Pros: lovely staff

Wonderful!

The mission of this restaurant is awesome and the staff are super friendly. The atmosphere is nice as well. Most of the menu is fake meats which is slightly off putting if you don't generally eat that sort of thing. It all tasted great though! The yam rolls are amazing and the chicken satay bento was great too. The fish was a bit weird but that is probably just a taste preference. If you are in Ipoh this is a must try!

Would love to come again and try other food

You'll be greated by a brown dog that is fed by the restaurant. He's a bit shy but he don't bite.

Ambiance of restaurant is very calming, good lighting and good choice of furniture. I ordered chicken chop with black pepper sauce and cold soy milk. The chicken chop is an ok for me but the salad tasted very fresh, all of the vegetables are very crispy. I forgot to mention no straw for my drink. If you're environmental friendly, let them knoe in the order chit that you wouldn't want a straw with your drink. I can really taste the soy in the drink as the taste is very subtle.

Price wise is reasonable.

So lovely, food and staff!

We had the teriyaki chicken and tempura prawns and both were so delicious. We learnt how to say thank you in sign and staff seemed so appreciative of us. Two mains, side and two drinks came to just under MR50. Would definitely come again!

Awesome

Two of us shared the the “chicken” teriyaki Japanese dish and mushrooms in Thai basil with rice, both were absolutely delicious and tasted really fresh.

We also had a blueberry cake and passion fruit cake for dessert, the blueberry one was ok but the passion fruit one was so light and super tasty.

Staff were absolutely lovely and the restaurant ambient restaurant is very calm.

Pros: Lots of variety on the menu , Lovely staff, quick service

Lovely decor, quick friendly service

Had a lovely experience here, very attentive and communicative staff despite majority being deaf/mute.
Food was served quickly. Mine was okay but I made the mistake of ordering aglio olio (usually chilli, oil and garlic) in a place that doesn’t use garlic - d’oh. Tasted okay but not what I was after. I tried a good few bites of the ‘lamb’ burger which was great - should have ordered this. Probably poorly named as it didn’t taste anything like lamb (thankfully) and was more of a veg patty.
Had a slice of passion fruit cake after which was delicious and light!

Pros: All vegan , Great cake , Lovely attentive staff

Cons: Pasta dish wasn’t tip top

Fantastic Restaurant

If you are a vegan this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Fantastic food, very friendly staff and prices are not going to damage your budget!

We went two days in a row and left feeling satisfied both times. Even if you are not vegan I think you will enjoy this place!

Also they don't just rely on fake meat, so if your not into that there is options for you.

Pros: Great selection of food, Super friendly staff, Affordable

Cons: None!!

Birthday cake & all

Ate here twice during a weekend in Ipoh. Food is flavorful. Staff is friendly and cheerful. Menu is clear. Was so happy to have vegan (passionfruit poundcake!) on my birthday! Highly recommended.

Wow wow wow and wow again!

Seriously, if you are in IPOH let this be your first and potentially only stop! We are here only one night and so for us, it’s only once! Don’t make the same mistake ;)! Haha seriously this was the most insane food ever and so cheap!! Think it was 30 (for two mains and a crispy tofu salad!) perfect even for backpackers on a budget. Seriously authentic insanely mouth watering foods. What are you waiting for?! GO! 😂

Pros: Massive menu, Amazing prices , Friendly staff

Cons: N/A

This amazing place!

The name suits the restaurant because it was a delight to eat here. The staff is friendly and we just love it that they are given the possibility to have a normal life just as any other person. It truly makes the experience of eating here so much better. The food was very nice, they have western options and asian ones. Prices are great as well and the interior is beautiful. If you are in Ipoh, go to this place!!!!

Pros: Friendly staff, Making a difference, Nice food

Excellent!

Un accueil très souriant et chaleureux par un personnel sourd et/ou muet! Beaucoup de professionalisme. Une ambiance cosy. Et des plats délicieux. On y retournera sans hésitation. A noter que de ce qu'on a pu voir, apres vérification avec le personnel et la responsable, tout est vegan.

Amazing food and fantastic social enterprise

Our family had an absolutely wonderful meal here.

My husband even said he thought the mushroom burger may have been the best he's ever had!

The staff are extremely friendly and attentive.
All the staff (bar one) are either hearing impaired or mute.

The restaurant was busy and I'm very glad to see it.
It was started as a means of employment for people with a disability which could disadvantage them in Malaysia.

I would encourage anyone travelling through Ipoh to support this fantastic restaurant.
