We finally made it to 300 Google Reviews. Still maintaining 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
300 customers have taken the time to leave us a review after experiencing our food—whether through our delivery service or by dining with us.
Some wrote just a few words. Some wrote reviews longer than our own marketing! 😂
And I want to make one thing very clear:
Every single one of those 300 reviews is genuine.
We have never paid for a review, nor have we offered any incentives in exchange for one. Every star, every word and every opinion was given freely by our customers.
And yes… not everyone thought we were fantastic.
In fact, I want to share two reviews that I think say quite a lot about us.
The first one made me laugh because I think this customer ended up promoting us better than we ever could! 😂❤️
“Congratulations! By the time you read this, you’ve discovered one of the best-kept secrets in Taman Desa.
Before I tried it, I honestly thought it was just marketing gimmicks. But after the meal, I ran out of words in my vocabulary to describe the culinary experience I’d just had.
Don’t take my word for it—try it for yourself!”
I love this because, yes, I can understand why someone might think our “by appointment only” concept is a marketing gimmick.
But there really is no gimmick. 😂
We genuinely operate our little restaurant by appointment only. No walk-ins.
This allows us to plan our ingredients, prepare properly and, most importantly, give every table the attention we want to give.
But we have also learned along the way.
Our lowest review ever was 2 stars.
The customer felt our food was decent but not outstanding, and was particularly unhappy with our previous requirement to preorder and prepay the entire meal before coming.
Was it difficult to read? Of course.
Do I agree with everything in the review? No.
Taste is subjective. There will always be someone who prefers something they have eaten elsewhere. And that is perfectly okay.
But the feedback about our payment policy?
We listened. And we changed.
We no longer require customers to prepay their entire meal. We now only require a deposit to secure the reservation, and the balance can be paid after dining.
That, to me, is what genuine reviews are also about.
Not just collecting 5 stars.
But listening, reflecting and improving.
We are proud of our 5-star rating, but we are not afraid to show the 2-star review either. Because we have nothing to hide.
The good reviews encourage us.
The difficult ones challenge us.
And both help us become better.
300 reviews. 5 stars. Still learning. Still improving. Still cooking with our hearts. ❤️
