The Neighbourhood,
Elevated
Upper House KL is part of KARLS Group, a multi-concept F&B hospitality group established in 2015, home to the Michelin-starred Beta KL and recognised for curating distinctive, emotionally connected dining experiences across Kuala Lumpur. Upper House sits within their House Collection — rooftop destinations above the city with a signature view of Merdeka 118.
Perched above Chinatown, one of Kuala Lumpur’s most storied neighbourhoods, our kitchen takes direct inspiration from the flavours and heritage of the streets below — honouring culinary traditions with a modern sensibility, using locally sourced ingredients that speak to where we are. Our Tasting Menu, Reimagine Chinatown, is that philosophy served — a journey through reinterpreted classics, each dish tracing its roots to a stall, a kopitiam, or a back-street kitchen nearby. Ask our team and they’ll tell you exactly where to find the original gem.
The venue unfolds across two distinct settings. Inside, warm wood panelling and an amber-lit, floor-to-ceiling glass atrium frame Merdeka 118 in full view. Outside, the al fresco terrace breathes open into the night, with the energy of Chinatown below and the city skyline stretching beyond — and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, DJ sets take over and the neighbourhood fades into the bass.
At Upper House, the bar is as much a destination as the kitchen. The cocktail programme draws from the same neighbourhood sensibility — signature serves built around Asian botanicals, local fruits, and unexpected infusions, alongside an extensive selection of single malts, premium spirits, and wines.
Whether you're rediscovering a neighbourhood you grew up in or experiencing it for the first time, Upper House is where Chinatown looks its best.
