Based on 658 reviews

Mat Teh Ikan Bakar is widely praised for its consistently fresh and flavorful grilled fish, particularly the ikan terubuk and kembung varieties, which many diners consider among the best in Kuala Lumpur. The distinctive air asam and well-balanced seasoning highlight the natural taste of the seafood, contributing to a memorable dining experience. Patrons often note the restaurant’s popularity, resulting in frequent queues during peak hours, reflecting its strong local following. However, common feedback points to the restaurant’s limited seating and discomfort caused by heat during daytime, with some areas receiving inadequate ventilation. Despite this, the overall culinary quality and welcoming atmosphere remain the brand’s defining strengths.

the best ikan bakar in KL i would say. Been eating here since 2010 when they were located at old site. still the same taste and same smile. I love the ikan terubuk bakar with mango juice. Marvellous. the only setback is the place is quiet hot during afternoon and always pack during lunch hour. Either u come early or later after lunch hour for a peace of mind

The grilled fish here is fresh and perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of seasoning—not too overpowering, allowing the natural flavor of the fish to shine through. The air asam is noticeably thicker than usual, giving it a unique twist. While it’s different from the typical version, it still complements the fish well and tastes great. Overall, I really enjoyed dining here and would definitely recommend trying their ikan bakar. The price is reasonable

Overall, the food is undeniably great. The grilled fish is delicious, and the air asam is equally tasty. This place is always packed, and you often have to queue, which clearly shows how good the food is. However, I hope the owner can consider improving the shop for customer comfort. During the daytime, it can feel quite hot, almost like being in an oven. Some tables are not reached by the fan, making it uncomfortable to dine. Perhaps upgrading the ventilation or adding portable AC units could enhance customer comfort. Thank you.

Arrived there at about 12.30pm..have to queue about 30 minutes because it is a limited tables..you have to wait until other people finished their lunch and leave. We ordered ikan bakar kembung and terubuk with ulam2.Also chicken feet soup. It is worth the waiting when our food arrived.

This is a local upgraded gerai tepi jalan with super fresh fish. They provide ikan bakar with kuah asam, kicap, additional gravy that you can take from the counter asam pedas, kari etc They serve ikan bakar: 1. Tilapia 2. Siakap 3. Pari 4. Terubuk 5. Cencaru For 4 pax the price is RM80 with drinks The asam is super spicyyyyy. The place can be hot, there’s also entertainment, and they sell roti john and other snacks in the restaurant from other vendors. Recommended for gerai shop. As soon as it’s 12pm the queue will be super long. So please come early

Mat Teh Ikan Bakar in Datuk Keramat is a place that carries the essence of true Malay cooking, centered around the delightful simplicity of ikan bakar. This Halal restaurant is where one should head to for a satisfying lunch under the Malaysian sun. The selection of grilled fish is commendable, offering kembong, cencaru, pari, tilapia, siakap, and terubuk, but the pari and terubuk come highly recommended for their exceptional taste. The menu here is straightforward yet fulfilling—white rice served with ikan bakar, air asam, ulam sambal belacan, and a side of chicken soup that completes the meal. The food quality is remarkable, every bite reflecting the rich flavors of freshly grilled fish paired with traditional condiments. Whether you choose to dine in or take out, the experience remains memorable. The prices, although based on the type of fish, are fair, making it affordable yet worthy of the satisfaction it brings. Mat Teh Ikan Bakar does not boast fancy interiors or air-conditioning, but its charm lies in its authentic, unpretentious atmosphere. The service is commendable, with the staff always smiling, friendly, and helpful, ensuring each guest feels welcomed. Despite the roadside parking, which can be tricky at times, the presence of RELA personnel helps manage the traffic, making the experience more bearable. However, a visit during the peak lunch hour might require patience, as the long queues are testament to the restaurant’s popularity. A 30-minute wait might be the norm, but it’s worth it. For a smoother experience, it's wise to arrive before or after the lunch crowd. Despite the minor inconveniences, Mat Teh Ikan Bakar remains a landmark in Datuk Keramat, a place where flavors speak louder than anything else.
