Kopitiam in Oxford

Kopitam es un lugar muy sencillo. Luces brillantes, decoración minimailista. El servicio es rápido y eficiente. Muy popular entre la comunidad asiática. Nos decidimos por el tofu, cornadas nasi, gambas, verduras al curry y tortitas. Todos llegaron a nuestra mesa con tuberías calientes, extremadamente frescas y llenas de sabor. Los cuatro en nuestra mesa declararon que el tofu casero era el mejor que habían probado. Los precios son muy razonables. Cerveza está disponible. Platos sencillos con ingredientes frescos y gran especia nos satisfizo a todos.

Comimos aquí el miércoles por la noche porque estaba cerca de nuestro hotel y estaba ocupado, normalmente una buena señal. Esto fue un error de nuestra parte. Pedimos pollo al curry y carne de res. Como se indica en una reseña a continuación, el pollo al curry estaba LLENO de huesos, carcoma y piel. El rendang de carne estaba lleno de grasa y grasiento. Para cuando ya habíamos recogido todo esto apenas quedaba pollo o carne de res. Cuando la camarera vino a recoger nuestros platos ella preguntó si habíamos disfrutado de nuestra comida. Dijimos aquí que estábamos muy decepcionados y que no parecía molestarse. No recomendaría este restaurante a nadie.

Esta fue la segunda vez que comimos en Kopitiam. Seguramente no es un restaurante de lujo de ningún tipo, pero cada plato sabe absolutamente fantástico y auténtico. El servicio es eficaz y amable. Los precios también son justos. Con mucho gusto volveremos pronto, y lo recomendaría!

Llevamos un par de años sacando comida de aquí. La comida siempre es deliciosa y de alta calidad. Por eso seguimos volviendo. También es muy fácil de ordenar - simplemente mirar el menú en el sitio web, y llamarlos. Todavía no hemos comido en el restaurante, pero siempre se ve limpio y acogedor. No es un lugar bonito, pero han hecho un buen trabajo con un poco desnudo - huesos 1960 tipo de edificio. También debería agregar que esto es comida malaya, no china como un crítico anterior parecía pensar.

I so wanted this to be great new-ish restaurant. We ordered Godmother's lamb, beef in black bean sauce, lemon chicken and egg fried rice. The egg fried rice had never seen an egg in it's like I'm sure and when the attendant was asked is this egg fried rice, she responded “It’s mixed in".... pretty disappointing response but the rice tasted OK. The lemon chicken was tough and not very nice tasting. The beef in black bean sauce was OK and the same for Godmother's lamb. All in all the food was average/poor and the restaurant was very cold.

Restaurant smelt. Food was disgusting 🤢 I didn’t eat it. It was oily and soaked in soya. Chicken can me with skin and hair in it. Potato was soggy. My husband ordered prawns he had 3 prawns in his oily dish. He eat half of his meal.

Consistently delicious food with excellent service. There is a nice range of dishes, Malaysian, Chinese and more. The meat is always tender and flavourful, and portions are great for the price. The hostess/manager is so lovely and attentive and the service is very fast. Hands down my favourite place to eat in summertown!

Authentic and reasonablly priced Malaysian Food. Would highly recommend. Tried the Satay and the beef hor fun. Both were excellent. Staff were very friendly, portions large and prices reasonable.

Utterly uninspired and uninteresting food. Crudely prepared and underflavoured. We had high expectations that were totally defeated. Not cheap, either! If you want great Chinese food, Xian is only a few hundred yards away.

Oh dear. After reviewing the menu and the reviews (including Mr Parker-Bowles' piece in the papers), we decided to splash out and go for a takeaway from Kopitiam. We ordered crispy duck, satay chicken and then beef rendang/chicken curry. The starters were generally good - lovely satay sauce, and - apart from a few flabby bits of fat - the duck was tasty. This where the good experience ended ... ! Firstly, the chicken curry. Had the menu (on both the deliveroo platform or the restaurant's website) said that the chicken would be on the bone, we'd have completely avoided it. It was, in fact, mostly bone, with gristly bits and pieces of wet skin - and even more concerning was that there were shards of bone in the sauce as well. One or two pieces of chicken were boneless, but trying to pick bits of meat off a thigh bone that has been presumably been broken up by a meat cleaver completely ruined the curry for us and we threw away the rest. The beef rendang was marginally better but, once again, there were bits of bone and gristle in there - I've not had a Rendang with bones in before and, once again, had the menu stipulated that the beef was (even partially) cooked on the bone, we would have chosen something else. The potatoes in the sauce were also only partly cooked. I was super-disappointed and am afraid that this may be a once-only experience of Kopitiam. The flavours were delicious, but the quality of the meal overall (whilst most likely more authentic) was runied by the lack of actual tender meat, and for the price tag of the two mains, the food was just disappointing! (WARNING .. the delivery prices are WAY higher than those on the restaurant's website ... EG The Beef Rendang cost £17.90 delivered compared to £12.90 in-house). That's just shocking!!

Oh this is heavenly. I have now been here twice; lunch and dinner and can't wait to go back. I have tried to sample the Malaysian dishes where possible and it has all been wonderful, plentiful and excellent value. So far I have tried roti canal, nasal leak, nanyang prawn noodle and my daughter had the dry noodles with duck. Definitely recommended you must try this place

Wow, completely unpretentious, authentic, delicious Malaysian food. Super friendly and helpful staff make for a great dining experience. I had the Tom Yum soup which was so flavourful, I then had the roti which were flaky and light with a delicious tangy dipping sauce. Then I had the steamed glutenous rice which was sticky and delicious. Finally I had Godmothers chili sauce lamb this was spicy, savoury and despite the fact I was already stuffed I couldn't help myself but to eat the lot. 100% would recommend and can't wait to go back to try some other dishes.

Been 4 times now and tried different dishes. Enjoyed them all and so pleased to see the place packed at lunchtime. Casual and pleasant atmosphere.
