What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
GOODDAM offers a refined Italian dining experience with beautifully presented dishes and attentive service. Diners frequently praise the unique flavor combinations, the quality of handmade pasta, and the elegant ambiance, making it a popular choice for celebrations. While some find the price point a bit steep for the portion sizes, the overall consensus is that the high-quality ingredients and culinary precision justify the cost for a memorable meal.
"Had the chef's selection for $298 per pax. Check out the menu in my photos, it seems a little bit steep at first but it's actually a lot of food. And the food is high quality, with nice, fresh and some locally sourced ingredients. So for the price point being offered here for this dégustation menu, it's a good deal. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good dégustation menu in KL.
In terms of the dishes, I think there were hits and misses - the aged duck, the agnolotti, beef tartare with the bonito jelly, the truffle ice cream with salad (haha what?) were really good. The taleggio, liver mousse and sfogliatelle...not so much."

"Overall Experience is a gem for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious brunch. The combination of excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and mouthwatering food makes it a standout choice. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to stop by Gooddam for a memorable meal. I can’t wait to return and try more items from their menu!"

"We booked this restaurant for my birthday. I’ve always seen great reviews and comments on this restaurant and we decided to give it a go.
Situated at SS2, this corner shop restaurant has a great vibe to it. The interior sets the vibe but at the same time, there’s no need to feel formal.
We had a 4 set course and each of the dishes were amazing.
Tasty, flavours are paired well and pretty presentation as well.
Given the price point, we felt like the food was definitely worth it. We can really see the precision that gets into each plate, just by looking at how the chefs plate them.
Would recommend!"
