J Bistro @ 45 Syed Alwi

Brought the family out for a weekend dinner. Read good reviews about this place and decided to try. We had trouble finding the place initially as it was hidden behind renovation covers. Place was rather empty when we arrived and I was a little worried since there was only one other table. Turns out the worry was misplaced as the family was happy with the taste and portions of the meals. The steak, pastas and side dishes were delicious and well presented. Kudos to the restaurant for keeping up the good job despite a slow Saturday evening. We almost had the whole restaurant to ourselves and truly enjoyed the experience! Pasta bolognese. I seldom like bolognese as most places have an overwhelming tomato paste taste which I don’t quite favour. This bolognese was really well executed, nicely balanced and served with generous fresh cherry tomatoes. 👍 Best dish was the mushroom alio oglio. Only problem was the added bacon was tough. Overall taste however was a really delicious pasta Pasta carbonara. Another very well executed carbonara pasta. It’s not often one gets the arugula and raw egg served with the carbonara. It does add to the presentation. Tastes great

Amazing foods, beers and very friendly staffs.

Everything's newly renovated, huge space yet cosy and warm ambience, nice wait staff. Food's nice, straightforward menu, great with friends who come for whiskey and great accompanying food.

Very friendly staff. Pleasant personalities and accommodating. Food was good. The Turkey Bacon Cabonara was really good. So was the Korean chicken wings and Sausage platter. Please give it a try. Slightly pricy but worth it. Cheers.
