THIRTY8 – Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

This is my second time here, and the experience feels different compared to seven years ago. Last time, it felt like entering a high-class restaurant. However, now it no longer gives off the same fine dining vibe. We ordered steak, and while the food was good, it didn’t leave a lasting impression. The ambient lighting is too dim, and unlike before, there were no table lamps provided. The waitstaff was helpful, but the level of service lacked the fine dining etiquette I remembered.

We just visited Thirty8 for the first time to celebrate Christmas in KL. It was a wonderful experience, especially since it's our first Christmas living away from family and friends. The Christmas buffet was fabulous, super fresh seafood & everything you could possibly want and more. The staff were fabulous, very friendly, welcoming and attentive. In addition we loved the roving entertainment, including Shawn the Ballon extraordinaire, the magician & the Christmas singers/musicians. Thank you staff & chefs at Thirty8 for making it a memorable Christmas. 🎄❤️

Have been to Thirty8 several times over the past years for different occasions, and still find it a great place to entertain visitors or for special celebrations as it offers one of the best views of the KL Twin Towers alongside an innovative menu and distinctive, signature cocktails. The signature cocktails are not always a win nor the most original hence the less than perfect score honestly - the Thirty8 Sling tastes like a Singapore Sling with a small twist, the spicy Thai inspired cocktail was not all spicy . This time we also tried the Chef + Bar (4 mini cocktails with food pairings) which was a fun and fairly flavorful concept. Steep prices but always an impressive experience for visitors.

Great view of the twin tower. Cozy environment but slightly overcrowded and noisy at a certain point. The food was average and not that spectacular. It’s obvious that some of the waiters are newly joined and need more training. Among the dishes we have ordered, only the cod fish was nice and met our expectations.

The food was decent, though it didn’t fully meet our expectations. We celebrated our first honeymoon dinner there, and the service was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the tofu and broccoli, but found the chicken to be a bit dry and the jambo chrimps lacking. Overall, the breathtaking view made it a beautiful dining experience.
