Had a pleasant dinner at The Grumpy Bear. The place is small and cozy with a relaxing ambience, good for a casual meal. The set meal prices are quite reasonable and service was good throughout the visit. The salmon was decent, though I expected the skin to be crispier. Portion size was slightly smaller than expected, but considering the price point, it’s still fair value. The truffle chicken smelled really good when served, but the truffle taste itself was quite mild. Overall still an enjoyable and comfortable dining experience.

My initial patronage was a truly pleasant experience. I am impressed by the professionalism and attentiveness of the well-trained staff, especially Mr. Aaron, Chef Hin, and their serving team. Although I did not post a review after my first visit, I was eager to return and sample more of their offerings. During my second visit, I finally shared my thoughts after relishing additional dishes. One standout was the Mushroom Pesto Pasta. This new dish features al dente spaghetti tossed with sautéed sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, complemented by a generous amount of finely chopped fresh basil and subtly salted by cheese. Presented elegantly in a wide-rimmed white pasta bowl, it delivers a harmonious blend of earthy and herbal flavors that delight the palate. A notable bonus is that it tastes equally delightful even when served cold. Equally impressive was the Mentaiko Grilled Salmon Set. The salmon fillet, grilled with the skin on to achieve a satisfying crispness, is generously topped with a creamy zigzag of mentaiko mayo sauce, imparting rich umami notes in every bite. Accompanied by crispy potato wedges and a fresh garden salad composed of frisée lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and a light dressing, this set offers a well-balanced and satisfying meal. Overall, I am indeed impressed by their hospitality. My continued visits have confirmed the exceptional quality and variety of this restaurant’s menu, and I look forward to exploring more of their dishes.

Very affable staff - Reshma & Chih Yong. Excellent service and extra mile care to please the customer. Been coming for 3 years for treat comfort meals. Excellent deals with delicious Bear Spice Chicken. Carbonara is a yummilicious option. The mushroom soup has real 'thickish' blended mushrooms and not the starch types at higher end places. The iced tea is an excellent drink option. They do provide iced or warm water on the house if requested. Love coming here as a family. Warm ambience, especially at the bay window seats. If you have an afternoon private chat meeting. Good place to come to. Don't like piped in music? Sit outside in the air-conditioned mall lobby area cordoned off for Hungry Bear customers only. Overall, a simple cosy place for comfy family meals, friend meals or even a date. When I come here, I feel welcomed and well-fed.

Pleasantly surprised by their food. Fish and chips was awesome, crispy and flaky inside with real fish. Chicken was decent but just like any other. Orange sauce was unique and strong flavour. Snack platter was normal, but rly enjoyed the unique thai sauce that came with it. Mushroom soup was also real, genuinely blended mushroom. Disappointed at the dessert, icecream tho big scoop taste slightly artificial. Waffle smells good, but not much taste to it and is not hot. Their hot chocolate is good, also sprakling yuzu. Set for 39.90 was worth.

A very cosy and comfortable place for our family to dine together. They have reasonably priced kids meal and sets . Fish and chips were authentic and very delicious compared to other restaurants which usually use frozen breaded types nowadays. From the waffle to the mushroom soups, the taste was very good and portions are generous. Our kids enjoyed coming here and the staff gives them nice little toy treats. Very friendly service. Thank you !
