To celebrate a friend’s birthday, a group of us make our move to NZX @ Ara Damansara. Tucked in at a rather obscure place (to me, who has never been to Ara Damansara), most fine it quite a hassle to get here. Calls from friends asking for directions keep coming in and it was until one hour later that everyone was here. Instead of being grumpy and angry, our friends who arrived late were pretty amused by the first sight that greeted them – an apartment like restaurant.
Each section of the restaurant is decorated to resemble the different spaces like bedroom, bathroom, courtyard, etc. Most of the décor pieces are available for sales. One can choose from the closets full of clothes, portrait frames, key chains, to the potted plants, the canopy bed drape and the hanging crystal chandelier.
Full House is particularly the most crowded place in NZX, one reason for that is almost certainly its relaxed atmosphere and wallet friendly meals. Did I tell you that the menu with comic strips was exceptionally cute too? Unlike the extensive drinks list, main courses are limited where we were left with only 5 to 6 items each on the Asian Menu and Western Menu.

I tend to think that most themed restaurants would rely on hype and glitz rather than good food. It comes to my surprise when the food was by no means a dreadful meal, but much of it was mediocre and acceptable, with more rooms for improvement.
I just went to the KL branch in Jalan YKS. It was the worst dining experience I have every had in my life.
1. I go there and they sit us in a small square table when we have 7 pax.
2. When we asked them to bring us another table, they totally ignored us and told us to wait. (20 mins)
3. When the food came, the orders were wrong.
4. When my drink came, there was a bug in the straw.
5. My orders took 1 hour to arrive, my friends had already finished eating their food… AND desert!
6. The bill that came was wrong again.
7. it took the cashier another 20 mins to change it, even that was because I had to stand right uin front of him before he was willing to solve my bill.
8. He didn’t even bother to apologize or even give me back the correct change!!
From today onwards, I will call the restaurant “fullhouse” as “fuckhouse”. I hope your restaurant burns down soon. Cheers

Personally, it’s a good place for gathering. About the children, we think it shouldn’t be a problem. But definitely you have to put an eye on him

Erk… what do u meant by that. Simply said it is halal juz because no wine/alcohol added to the dishes. I assumed ur a Muslim based on your name so pls be careful when responding and dont simply bantai saje!
A guide published by About.com. Muslim followers cannot consume the following:
pork or pork by products
animals that were dead prior to slaughtering
animals not slaughtered properly or not slaughtered in the name of Allah
blood and blood by products
alcohol
carnivorous animals
birds of prey
land animals without external ears
nice place and elegant decorations . well done !

The map is so stupid. Very hard to see which road is which, even though it’s labelled. Nice try though.

NZX now is “quiet” , but Full house is still operating as usual.
Wondering how is full house survice in this environment.
Although i stay very very near to NZX, but I never visit this full house , until today
[Reply]
hye..the food is halal?
[Reply]
Gosh! Your post is almost 4 years old and comments still keep coming in. I knew about Fullhouse not just recently, but had my first dinner there last night, with the whole family @ its newest outlet in Wangsa Walk. Love the ambience, the food was ok by me but most of all LOVED the dessert. The creme brule was just perfect. Will definitely go there for more great family n friends outings n more food…
