This place is unbelievable! From the moment you arrive you just know this is going to be a special night.
We came here to celebrate my husband’s 50th and opted for the 12 courses and wine pairings. Wow! We loved the way each dish was presented by the chef who made it. Everything was beautifully presented, tasty and used locally sourced ingredients.
Excellent wines- who knew a Bulgarian red wine could be so tasty.
Each member of staff made us feel relaxed and well informed with a chilled vibe. If you are ever in KK and want a special night please go here- you will be amazed!
Thank you for making this an unforgettable experience. Keep up the good work and keep the duck on the menu 😉

Best culinary experience in Kota Kinabalu and probably one of my best one in Malaysia.

I had an incredible experience dining at Oitom in Kota Kinabalu. The 12-course dinner was a culinary journey that left me speechless. The use of local and fresh ingredients truly elevated each dish, which was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. My senses were fully activated throughout the meal. I enjoyed the concept of having an illustration card for each dish, providing a great memory to take home. The pairing of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, was spot on. A special shoutout to Chef Raphael for his exceptional talent that deserves worldwide recognition. The restaurant's secretive location adds a touch of mystery to the whole experience. Congratulations to the entire team at Oitom for creating such a gem in Kota Kinabalu's culinary scene. I am already planning my next trip just to dine here again!
