Shoney's Dining & Bar

As someone who enjoys both Sabah’s indigenous cuisine and gourmet burgers, I couldn’t imagine how these two worlds would come together. Shoney’s proved that they can—and brilliantly so.

Their limited-time Losun Burger is a creative tribute to local flavours, and after one bite, it’s easy to understand why it was crowned Best Burger in Kota Kinabalu at the recent Bah-ger 4.0 burger competition.

The burger was outstanding from the very first bite. The buttered bun was pillowy soft with a beautiful char-grilled aroma, while the juicy beef patty remained incredibly tender and flavourful.

Every layer complemented the next—the creamy signature Losun ranch, refreshing shrimp hinava, crispy crushed anchovies, and fragrant drizzle of Losun oil combined into a surprisingly harmonious bite.

The flavours unfolded beautifully, balancing savoury, tangy, creamy, smoky, and umami notes without a single ingredient overpowering another. It was rich yet refreshing, familiar yet exciting.

Every bite left me wanting another, and “delicious” simply doesn’t do it justice. The thick-cut cassava fries deserve just as much praise. Unlike ordinary potato fries, cassava offers a denser, heartier bite.

They were fried to perfection—crispy and golden on the outside while remaining soft, fluffy, and slightly chewy inside. Lightly seasoned and paired wonderfully with the chilli sauce and were genuinely addictive.

Beyond the food, I was delighted to see that the restaurant has expanded its dining space to accommodate more customers. They’ve also added a wheelchair-accessible ramp, very thoughful.

Kthxbye.

I ordered my usual braised lamb cutlet pasta, really love it. The spaghetti is well cooked and the sauce is super flavourful. (RM36)

The pasta on top is their Italian chicken pasta, served with a huge chicken breast! (RM32)

My friend was also shocked at the "Chilli Dog" portion because they were so generous with the mashed potatoes. (RM26)

All prices stated above are not inclusive of service tax and SST yet. But highly recommended to eat western food here!

Have a blast celebrating someone’s birthday in here and gathering with friends and family🥰Definitely will come back soon 🤩

I had an incredible dining experience at Shoney’s Dining & Bar! From the moment we walked in, the cozy yet sophisticated ambience set the perfect tone for a relaxed evening. It’s a popular spot, so I’d definitely recommend booking in advance, especially for dinner, as it tends to get busy.

The highlight of our meal was the fish and chips—perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It was cooked to perfection and served with a generous portion of golden fries and tangy tartar sauce. The portion size was impressive for the price, making it great value for money.

We also tried the Mushroom Swiss burger, which was absolutely mouthwatering. The beef patty was juicy and flavorful, complemented by earthy mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese. It came with a side of fries that were perfectly seasoned—definitely one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time!

The portion sizes for both dishes were surprisingly large, leaving us feeling fully satisfied. Considering the quality and taste, it’s hard to believe how reasonably priced everything was.

The service was another standout element. The staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Their warm hospitality truly elevated the dining experience.

Overall, Shoney’s Dining & Bar is a must-visit! Whether you’re craving comfort food or a casual yet elegant dining experience, this place delivers on all fronts. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
