Upperstar Pepper Grill & Bar
lamb shank
Upperstar Cafe & Bar has a humble beginning with just one ground floor shop opposite to Burger King at the Segama Commercial Centre, this establishment has grown quite a lot since then. Upperstar Cafe & Bar used to cater for the big party crowds that invade Shenanigan at Hyatt hotel, and Cocoon just a few meters away. Both Cocoon and Shenanigan are the top clubbing destinations in Kota Kinabalu. With Upperstar businesses soaring, today Upperstar has increased its floor space with two more shoplots, one immediately on the upper floor and the other one just on top of Burger King.

Upperstar is so popular these days that it even has its own fans base, which is very true. When Upperstar opened a new branch in Damai, Luyang, Upperstar Pepper Grill & Bar is just as crowded as in the old one in KK. Upperstar Pepper Grill & Bar is especially popular with the young adults from 20s to 30s, may be Upperstar has a more modern approach to life that makes it so appealling to these young adults.

Both upperstar are too packed… should think about giving patrons some space to move in between spaces more conveniently and comfortably…
Tables are arranged to close to each other that patrons from the next table even brushed elbows with each other or table are arranged in such a way which makes it impassable and blocking the way. Staffs should smile more no matter how hectic the night is (customers are paying their salary not their boss). But all in all…. Great food indeed! Value for money.

Went there for the first time last night. Never again !! Service terrible. Waiter did not understand basic English although the menu is in English. Did not also seem to be able to comply with basic Malay requests. My meal arrived before my wife’s and I waited for hers to arrive before starting. However had to start without hers as it took so long to arrive. I even finished mine before hers arrived. Complaints met with indifference or a not very sincere sounding “sorry”. Even a request to speak to the manager was ignored.

Very true about the poooooor service. Went there with my hubby during our anniversary, hoping to have a good meal. We made our order, my steak arrived and even after half way finishing it, my husband’s order never arrived and upon checking, found out that the waiter never even write down my husband’s order! My hubby decided not to make another order upon finding that when we asked for Tabasco, Upperstar only has “Red Devil” which tastes horrible……….I quickly finished my meal and we went to another place for my hubby’s meal. Reason given for the service, staff is new!
