There will always be arguments about whether a plate of Nasi Lemak should cost as much as $12.80, when much cheaper alternatives are available. But don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.

The restaurant setting is simple but effective. Whether you are dining alone or in a large group, the seating is accommodating.

The menu is streamlined and easy to understand. And thanks to its simplicity, the service is quick and efficient. My Nasi Lemak arrived within minutes of ordering.

The portion size is generous - two large pieces of Fried Chicken. There was more than enough Coconut Rice.....

.... and the Sambal Balachan was sublime. In some restaurants, the chillie paste can be overpowering. But at The Coconut Club it was punchy and tasty.

The Coconut Club is outstanding. A great example of how an eatery can justifiably charge more, if it gives more.

We came to visit a tailor on Club Street (off Chinatown) who recommended the Coconut Club for dinner. We arrived at the quaint little shophouse-like restaurant just before their opening time (6pm) and we were the first to arrive (I think they don’t take reservations), but within a few minutes there were already a number of people waiting for the restaurant to open. They opened promptly at 6pm and everyone was quickly shown a seat. We ordered the Nasi Lemak (coconut rice), Otak-Otak (grilled fish cake with spices) and Chendol (rice jelly with coconut milk and palm sugar). The rice was fragrant and fluffy with well separated grains that did not clump together. The fried Ikan Bilis (anchovies) were nice and crispy and the peanuts were, well, peanuts. But the prize really goes to both the sambal (a hot sauce made from chilli, shallots, lime, ginger, shrimp paste and a number of other ingredients) and the chicken, which was exquisitely tender.
The Otak was nice enough, but the chendol was probably one of the best I have ever had.
Not the cheapest Nasi Lemak around but , for me, it well worth it.

Within your expectation and the chicken exceeded mine..... impeccable food quality with all nasi lemak details are just right on the spot. Service is casual but eats assured all spectrum are taken care of by the team. One of the memorable of having the brand name in the Loo with inverted view of it; that you’ll see Coconut Club when washing your hand. Smart and brilliant thoughts.

Love the nasi lemak especially the chicken that is so authentic! Oh myyyyyy... Only the true will know why a cendol is a cendol and you get it right at this place. Excellent and I would give it a 5 star anytime of the day. Kelab Kepala, way to go!

The Coconut Club's Nasi Lemak completely hit the spot when we visited them. The price was great, the venue was trendy, and the service was excellent.
