This is rather good sport. Food good if a tad pricey.Drinks strong. Very popular and perhaps too many westerners - see popular reviews to blame for that. After dinner recommend you walk "backstage" to the bar and chill out. the DJ starts spinning discs around 9-ish and this is where the younger Kuchingers hang out. Good people watching and good...

The decor is fascinating, with amazing collections of bric a brac throughout. We may have chosen a bad night to go. Being a Saturday, the downstairs area became crowded with young people creating a bit of a night club atmosphere, including many of them smoking. The food was good without being outstanding. I would go back but not on a... More

The entire decoration in the restaurant was filled with antiques (or junk if you may like to call the artifacts). However, these "junK" served as very nice deco for visitors to view and admire. The arrangements were tastefully done and they deserve a very good rating for ideas in interior deco. The food was so-so only. But the ambient and... More

The junk, what a fascinating little restaurant tucked in the middle of this city . This restaurant's best point has got to be its deco. Its filled with interesting antiques and many tribal paintings and crafts . The food is quite reasonable due to its large portion. 2 people can easily share one portion as its huge !

We stayed in Kuching two nights and ended up eating at the Junk both nights. We probably would have eaten there again had we been there a third night. What a great spot. So much atmosphere, ice cold beer and very good food. The portion sizes are enormous so one dish between two is generally enough. We ate early evening... More

This place has a lot of character and the food is great and reasonable prices. Lots to choose from the menu and as usual KUTCHING people are very friendly and really look after you. Would eat hear again.

I had been told to visit this restaurant by vistors to Kuching and locals, so I decided to go for a walk to find out what all the fuss was about. What a shame I did. It was simply an average pizza at a high price. It is a funky looking restaurant, but I don't feel the quality of the... More

Communication in English was a little problematic. Upstairs is more atmospheric than down and it shut quite early,
