Asked anyone for the best Chinese restaurant in Sentul area, they will surely point you to Lau Heong. This well-known seafood restaurant in Sentul has been around for more than 40 years. It is now managed by the 2nd generation. Most of the seafood here is sourced from the owner’s hometown in Bagan Datoh, Perak, which explains why the seafood here is so fresh and big in size!

The Thai Style Prawn & Squid is served sizzling hot on a piece of banana leave with sweet and creamy sauce. Absolutely delicious!

Founded by a pair of sisters who love Thai food, the restaurant serves a combination of traditional Thai and Vietnamese Cuisine with modern touches.

Established in 1972, Sentul Curry House is an old and well-known curry fish head restaurant at Jalan Ipoh in Sentul.

The half-a-century old brand of Sentul Ah Yap is getting more and more popular in recent years, as the restaurant has opened many new outlets at shopping mall food courts, including Sungei Wang, Publika, and Avenue K. This restaurant in Sentul is the original shop of Ah Yap, where you can enjoy their well-known Hokkien Mee stir-fried using charcoal fire. Their Hokkien Mee is not as dark as other Hokkien Mee that you normally see, but very fragrant and full of “wok hei”. The success story of Sentul Ah Yap had been adapted into a local TV drama called Romantic Delicacies in 2009.
Located in front of Sayur-Sayuran Sentul Vegetarian Restaurant, this roadside Chinese Style Nasi Lemak stall in Sentul is extremely famous among the locals. When the stall starts operating at around 6pm, there's always a long queue in front of the stall. They offer plenty of spicy and delicious dishes, such as sambal prawn, sambal sotong, curry chicken, curry spare ribs, sausage, etc. We like their curry spare ribs with potatoes, which are dry yet very flavorful with a spicy kick!
Nestled in the new office block of D7, Three Little Birds Coffee has quickly built its name as a café in Sentul offering fresh and top-quality coffee, as they have their own roaster located at a separate room right beside the café. Different coffee beans sourced from various countries are roasted at different days; hence, the taste might be different even if you order the same type of coffee when you revisit the café, which makes your coffee drinking experience more fun and full of pleasant surprises!
Located at the same place as Samira by Asian Terrace, Bistro Richard has become a popular restaurant in Sentul for special occasions, such as birthday, marriage proposal, or wedding anniversary.
