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,

This was a lovely place that we managed to find after seeing the reviews on Trip Advisor. In same street as Bla Bla bla .. also great place. Visited Junk twice during our stay in Kuching. This is a lovely restaurant with lots of stuff on the walls and around room... hence the name Junk! The service and food was... More

The interior is so creative, and it is really a great place to stop for a drink and a slice of pizza and end up staying all night. The drinks are a bit expensive, but it is worth it for the ambiance. The portions for other things are huge, so share if you aren't a huge eater. Well worth visiting... More

I have been dined at the Junk a couple time. I enjoyed the fusion style. The portion is decent. I like the mango and squids salad. However, if they can make their own sweet and sour dressing, it will be a plus for the dish. The restaurant is decorated with the "antiques or junk" and creates a mouldy smell as... More

Highly recommend this cafe/bar/restaurant. It has a few divisions inside and all r equally good. Would be worth making a trip here if you are not staying within the vicinity. The interiors are nice n there is a good vibe to the place

I would echo what most people have already said. The atmosphere is great and the food is pretty good. Portions are large and the food is very tasty. We had pizza and fish and chips. When it is busy, you will wait a while for service. I waited over 20 minutes for a coffee and pice of cake! All in... More
