Had the pasta, passion fruit iced tea, and a hot latte. Everything was good. I’d give it 4 stars because the food and drinks were enjoyable, but the service could be better. The female supervisor/manager with her hair tied back came across as quite rude when responding after we moved a tray to another meeting room. It wasn’t the kind of hospitality I expected (kalau ada rules yang gak tertulis, bisa kasih tau baik-baik).

The food is decent but what i like to point out from my recent dining experience in Publish is that the serving time was wayyy too long. It took approx 30mins or more just to serve my truffle eggs benedict while the other tables who arrived after me were being served their food first. Definitely ain’t coming back.

Dining at Publish Gunawarman feels like you’ve stepped into the living room of someone quietly super rich haha. The vibe was sleek, warm interiors, marble floors, and elegant lighting all set the tone for a meal that feels both elegant and cozy. It’s homey but polished, with that kind of effortless cool that makes you want to move in and live there forever. The Wagyu Katsu Sando was an instant standout for me. It was crispy, juicy, and indulgent in a nice balanced way. After that, the Crab Butter Linguine was a nice punchy zesty umami, and a generous portion of sweet lump crab. The Brie Toast with Truffle Honey was simple but absolutely addictive: melty, creamy cheese on crunchy toast, poured over with sweet truffly honey. The "bossam-style" crackling pork belly was another winner. Unlike bossams, the pork had fried crackling skin. But it was still very much juicy, and paired well with the sauces and veggies. The duck curry noodles, calamari, and pizza were fine tbh but probably not special enough for me to order again next time. They were still decent enough to finish, just not the kind of dishes I’d race back for. Overall, Publish hits a sweet spot. It had exciting flavors, refined yet welcoming space, and dishes that punch way above your usual asian western fusion cafes. It’s not cheap, but it feels like money well spent. I left full and impressed. Def a decent enough place to back to.

Publish Gunawarman delivers a great dining experience with flavorful dishes and a stylish, cozy atmosphere. The menu is well-curated, and the food is both creative and satisfying, making it a great place for a relaxed dinner or drinks with friends. The interior is warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying a night out. However, the service didn’t quite match the quality of the food and ambiance. Staff could be more attentive and coordinated, which slightly affected the overall experience. Still, it's a spot worth visiting for the food and vibe — just hope the service improves over time.

Publish continues to impress with every visit, not just for its food, but for the overall experience it creates. One of the charms of the restaurant is its thoughtfully designed interior — modern, warm, and effortlessly inviting. Tucked inside is a charming photobooth corner, a small but delightful touch that adds character and makes the space feel even more memorable. What consistently stands out, however, is how well the restaurant balances comfort and sophistication. The staff embody the same warmth as the space itself: attentive without being intrusive, genuinely friendly, and clearly proud of the dishes they serve. Their service elevates the experience from simply “eating out” to actually feeling taken care of. The menu is another highlight. Each dish is prepared with precision, using fresh, high-quality ingredients that shine through in both flavor and presentation. Whether you’re choosing something rich and satisfying or opting for a lighter option, the execution is consistently strong — vibrant flavors, thoughtful combinations, and plating that feels effortlessly elegant. Publish works equally well for casual lunches, longer dinners, and everything in between. It’s the kind of place you return to not just because the food is good, but because the experience is reliably fulfilling. After multiple visits, it’s clear that this isn’t just a neighborhood spot — it’s one of the area’s standout dining destinations.
