Astarry delivers reliably when the kitchen hits its mark: mango milkshakes and curry earn genuine praise, and pricing around RM90 for three people beats local rivals. The hitch is unpredictability. Bland main courses, mushroom soup tasting sweet rather than savoury, and a wait without enough staff to take orders have sent diners away unimpressed. Cosy, quiet space keeps people drawn back; execution needs steadying.
Most visits yield friendly service, a clean comfortable space, and quick orders even when busy. However, some staff members have been reported as dismissive or rude, and a few delivery orders arrived lukewarm or poorly packaged, which tempers the overall experience.
Buddies Cafe in Bandar Kinrara 1 draws mixed visits: some regulars praise fair pricing and a relaxed vibe, others note only first impressions. Review volume is low and aged, so current experience is hard to gauge.
Most visits land squarely in the 5-star zone: reviewers rave about kakigori, cheesecake, Korean mains like sushi tacos and Aburi Don, and the cosy space. But a sharp minority (less than 5% of reviews) report rude or dismissive staff, portions that disappoint, and frustration when arriving near closing time. Quality seems uneven across the menu. The core problem is staff consistency. Some praise William and others for kindness under pressure; others document eye-rolling, ignored requests, and unfriendliness. Closing time on the listing shows 10 PM but staff turn away customers at 8:50 PM claiming 9 PM closure. Portion sizes and fruit freshness have drawn complaint too.
