IT Roo Café – Retro Charm & Legendary Chicken Chop

Located on Jalan Dhoby near Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Walk, IT Roo Café is a cosy heritage-style café with green-tiled walls, wooden décor, and outdoor seating under a shady tree. Known as the place with the “Best Chicken Chop in Malaysia,” it serves both fried and grilled versions with either mushroom or black pepper sauce, alongside wedges and coleslaw. The crispy outside, tender meat, and rich sauce make it a must-try.

Apart from chicken chop, other favourites include fried rice, Hailam mee, mee mamak, and the nostalgic root beer float. The atmosphere is old-school and laid-back, making it a great stop for both locals and travellers exploring Johor Bahru’s heritage streets.

Many visitors rave about the juicy chicken chop, especially the fried version with mushroom sauce, though some note that coffee can be a bit weak and fries may lack crispiness. Overall, it’s a simple, hearty dining experience perfect for a casual lunch.

Attractions Nearby: Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Walk, Johor Bahru Old Chinese Temple, and City Square Mall are within walking distance, making this café an ideal pit stop during a city exploration.

How to Reach: Easily accessible by foot from JB Sentral Railway Station (about 10–12 minutes walk) or by Grab/taxi from anywhere in Johor Bahru city.
