Discover Come-Xia, a stunning Halal dim sum spot in Alam Sutera with a Japanese zen-style ambiance perfect for your social media feed. While the wabi-sabi decor is a guaranteed hit, the food can be a mixed bag. This review guides you on what to order (like the amazing Baked Char Siu Bao) and what to avoid. It's the ideal place for a stylish hangout, but foodies should enter with caution—the vibe might just outshine the bites.
Girls, take it from me! If you're coming to Come-Xia in Alam Sutera to find a place to chill and take some Japanese zen-style photos for your social media, then you've come to the right place. The ambiance is absolutely Mantap! The wabi-sabi style design makes every shot look effortlessly chic. But if you're coming for the "food"... well, then we need to have a talk. 😂
📸 Ambiance > Taste? A day of eating with your eyes
I was truly amazed the moment I walked in. How does this even look like a Chinese restaurant? It's like they moved a Muji showroom right in! The natural wood tones paired with gray stone set the mood perfectly, making it ideal for an afternoon Nongkrong with your besties. What's even better is that it's a Halal dim sum place, so our Muslim friends can go for it without any worries!
We ordered a whole table of food, and the experience was a mixed bag, to say the least:
👍 Highly Recommended: The Baked Char Siu Bao[1] was definitely the star of the show! The outer skin was baked to a crispy perfection, and the char siu filling inside was super generous, sweet, and juicy. Anjay! And the Shrimp Cakwe Mayo[2], with its crispy fried dough sticks and sweet mayonnaise, was so good I couldn't stop eating.
🤔 Schrödinger's Dish: The signature Salted Egg Sesame Ball[3] was a real game of chance. The one I had burst with filling the moment I bit into it, and the molten salted egg yolk was super satisfying! But my friend's was a bit dry... It felt like opening a blind box, so good luck with that.
👎 Avoid At All Costs: Some of the dim sum, like the shrimp dumplings and xiaolongbao, had skins that felt a bit thick, and the texture was like... the frozen kind[4]. My friend put it bluntly: "This is a place for eating with your eyes, not with your mouth." I couldn't even argue with that.
💰 Let's get real, how are your wallet and patience holding up?
Honestly, the biggest point of contention for this place is its taste versus its value for money. The average cost per person is around 120,000 IDR[5], but the portions are, frankly, a bit tiny. Guys probably won't get full. It feels like most of the money went into the ambiance.
Another thing I have to complain about is the service[6]. Especially during peak hours on weekends, it feels like the waiters and waitresses are so busy their souls have left their bodies. You have to shout to order, your food arrives whenever it arrives, and even getting a water refill takes forever. For my impatient friends, you really need to keep your cool...

- You must make a reservation! Especially on weekends, don't be silly and just wait in line. Book your table online directly[7].

- Want the all-you-can-eat? The weekend AYCE is only available before 11 AM, so don't make a wasted trip.
