Situated at the intersection of bustling Jalan Tun Razak, The LINC KL has received much attention from the public since opening, thanks to its artsy, vibrant space that offers plenty of photography opportunities – from the ever-popular colourful paper doves to rainbow staircases, beautiful mural arts, well-preserved decades-old Ficus tree; and a lot more to discover.

Along with that, this lifestyle space also houses a number of worthwhile restaurants.

Add them to your must-try, for your next visit to The LINC KL.

2. Maruki Ramen
Maruki Ramen, one of the few places in KL that serves Halal ramen. Slurp down noodles made fresh daily using selected Halal Japanese wheat flour imported from Japan, sip on delicious broth prepared from Halal Free-Range chickens, and enjoy juicy slices of glazed chicken rolls topped over.
Maruki Ramen offers several types of ramen broths, namely Superior Shio, Superior Shoyu, Classic Shio, Classic Shoyu, Classic Kuro, and Classic Kara. Go for Superior Shio or Superior Shoyu if you like your soup in light and clean flavours. Opt for Classic Shio, Classic Shoyu, Classic Kuro, or Classic Kara if you prefer thick and rich white chicken broth.
For more unique options, try Spicy Ebi – rich prawn broth served with fresh prawns and braised chicken roll; or Wagyu Deluxe – Maruki creation that has light chicken broth fused with vegetables, bonito and kelp for delish umami flavour. Served with A5 Japanese Wagyu and imported beef slices. Must try.

3. Bean Brothers
We got to know about Bean Brothers when they first opened in Sunway Damansara. We fell in love with their coffee then, so we’re more than glad to have them with us at The LINC KL today, knowing that it’s a specialty coffee store that’s not to be missed.
Here at Bean Brothers, you’ll find an ambience similar to The LINC KL’s interiors. Weaving its way around nature, the store is an amalgamation of plants and concrete, creating a perfect balance between man and nature.
From the ever-comforting Crispy Fried Chicken to a light but appetizing Croissant with Sriracha Egg Mayo, you’ll definitely come by for a meal, but ultimately, you’ll stay for the nuanced coffee. Whether you enjoy a generous cup of latte or sophisticated filter coffee, you’ll be able to find them here, all while getting to learn from the team of baristas about the coffee you drink.
