We know Malaysian food well and the food here was disappointing. For example, too much Thai sweet chilli sauce, curry puffs with very little filling and no taste of curry

Had the Thai basil chicken with rice. Was dissatisfied with the taste, texture and experience. I have had the same dish many times before at this restaurant and it’s been good. But this time, chicken was undercooked, too many vegetables thrown in there for no reason and that too underdone. Prices have also gone up, won’t be coming back

It’s a great place for lunch catch up. If your table is outside you would need to order and pay first before food is delivered. I tried paying with Liven rewards but did not work. Otherwise it’s a great lunch place

Food as always was delicious! Unfortunately, today all 3 meals came out at different times with a 30 minute gap between first and last. Unusual for this place, but if you are on a timeframe, mention it we hen ordering.

Had the Nasi Goreng and Beef Rendang lunch special. Generous portions and tasty. Would have been better though if both serves came out at the same time as my partner had to wait for his dish and mine had cooled by the time his came out.

Had a fabulous dinner once again at Merchant Society Restaurant. I think you’d describe the food as Asian Infusion, but there’s something for everyone on the menu. The servings are plentiful and Yvonne’s cocktails are a specialty! They take the Covid restrictions seriously so do book so you don’t miss out on great food and a really welcoming atmosphere.

Charles and the wonderful Team made us and our guests feel so welcome in spite of social distancing. You’ve not had a Mojito until you’ve had one made at Merchant Society! 🍹 The servings were not only substantial but the dishes were absolutely delicious 😋. My favourite is Singapore Noodles with chicken. Thank you Charles and the Team, we value and appreciate you💫. Lill and Brian

I was disappointed that the lunch deal only had meat options, it would've been nice if the vegan lunch option could also have the discounted wine. Other than that, good service and good food!

The food was tasty & service was efficient. The only letdown was we wanted to pay with a cryptocurrency app, which was clearly available on the app, but was denied by the staff operating the till.

Food came out at weird intervals where the entrée was last to be served and some orders were mixed up. Staff could've been a bit happier and smiled. Other than that it was good food mostly and nice atmosphere.

was able to get an immediate booking via quandoo for five people on a Friday lunchtime Definitely make a booking as this place was packed Water is served in used high quality vodka bottles (think belvedere and grey goose). You keep to hail the staff to get their attention. Good arrives ad ie is made rather than all at once As the place is Malaysian fusion you will see thai and Singaporean dishes on the menu. My recommendation stick to the Malaysian dishes The beef rendang and chicken kampong were uniquely delicious with undercurrents of coconut in thick gravy succulent chicken thigh and large pieces of beef. The roti is definitely made by them rather than the frozen store bought ones and is thin but layered. My colleague who is Malaysian didnt like his thai style fried chicken dish. Venue is beautiful. Service is quick. Would go back
