Georgetown Metropolitan writer, Topher Matthews, took a positive view of Shophouse coming to Georgetown, he wrote:

"Having anything other than a place just like Furin’s going into Furin’s is a little heartbreaking, since it means the old diner is really and truly gone. But it could be a lot worse than Shophouse."
