I grew up on this location back when it was located in the tunnel on Elizabeth St! This spot is definitely one of the better Malay restaurants in Chinatown, but I do feel like it used to be better. Regardless, I still had a decent experience on my visit. We were seated right away for a party of 2 on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered their classic Hainanese Chicken over Rice and Pad Thai. The Hainanese Chicken is a staple to get, as their nostalgic recipe never fails. The scallion ginger and red chili sauce pair nicely as well. Their Pad Thai was just ok this time around. It lacked the sweetness of a typical Pad Thai and it was more salty than sweet. It almost tasted just like regular chow mein, but perhaps I just got it on an off day. FYI they charge a 3% fee for credit card. Staff here is very attentive and there's a good amount of seating in this restaurant. Shall come back to try their other classic Malay dishes.
This is a very solid Malaysian spot with generous portions. We were seated immediately on a Friday night (always a bonus) and here's what we ordered: - Satay Beef: This was probably my favorite dish of the night. Unlike most satay I've had, there was a sweetness to it that really elevated the dish. - Indian Mee Goreng: A solid stir fried noodle dish that wasn't too salty, and was a relatively neutral dish that paired well with the rest of the meal. - Beef Rendang: While it initially just looks like a pile of sauce, there is actually a decent portion of meat. The beef was very tender and the sauce was tasty, but not too overwhelming. Food came out super quickly and surface was very efficient. The entrance is pretty low-key so I walked by it about four times. There's only one restroom but it was clean.
This place has been on my list for awhile! Glad that I was able to try it out. Ordered the prawn noodle soup (not pictured) general tsao chicken and the curry dish. (Not pictured as well) Curry and the prawns dishes were my fav. Loved the prawn soup noodle but be careful if u don't like the sea smell. We also ordered appetizers. Service was okay, pretty busy place but they did pack the left overs for us which I really appreciated
Absolutely love this place. I never realized this was the one from the tunnel until recently and I've always gone to them when they were in the tunnel. It is a lot more modern and spacious compared to their previous location. I'm so happy that they're still open because everything here is so rich and flavorful. I always have my go to's but even when trying something new like their "old town fried noodles" (it sounds better in Chinese) I was blown away. You can taste the "wok hei" in this dish so well. Their curry noodle soup is always spot on. Broth is so dense and rich and pairs so well with the noodles. The hokkien mee and let's not forget the infamous Malay sauce with a slight kick. YUM. I also just got their red bean icee or "coconut red bean snow ice flakes." This is a must if you like red bean desserts. It's perfect on a summer day. Honestly, I've been wanting to find this drink since this one location use to sell it but then closed down. (Which was a long time ago) I'm so glad they offer it here. I'll def be back!!
Came by for lunch and this space is much more spacious and well lit compared to their previous location in the alleyway. I got their fried pearl noodles and chicken satay. The satay had just the right amount of smokiness to it. The star was definitely the pearl noodles. I loved the addition of seafood, the noodles had just right amount of chewiness but not too thick. The dish's wok hei flavor was on point. It was so much food that I had to get the rest to go. This is a great spot for Malaysian food in the city at decent prices. Will definitely be coming back if I'm in the area.
This restaurant suprise me of how good their food is. I was here on Sunday, and when I walked in, I saw lot of ppl dine here by themselves. That when I know the food must be good for ppl to come by themselves. I order a beef curry and roti. Their beef was so soft and melting in my mouth, it has a lingering coconut taste. Their portion was good. Very reasonable for the price. I didn't try much, but look like they have a lot authentic Malaysia food! The waiter was nice and efficient, they don't refill my water, but it's understandable since the restaurant is very packed. This restaurant looks quite small inside, so if you are looking for excellent food, and busy vibe. This place is for you
