Nice and quiet atmosphere for enjoying an early dinner. Really like the Crispy Fried Sea Bass with belacan sauce (delicious), but didn’t realize I would be getting a chunk of fish instead of the whole fish as in the picture on the menu.

I was craving Malaysian food before the movies and found this gem. Parking garage next to it is big and free. There’s plenty of seating in this restaurant and a good amount of people dining on a weekday night. We ordered the roti canai, the satay skewers combo (+$1 for beef), and the char keow teow. The roti was so hot and fresh, chewy, crunchy, ripped apart and dipped into the sweet and savory curry sauce!! So delicious and my favorite. The satay was really good as well, I liked the chicken but my partner liked the beef. The stir fried noodles was good and had good wok hei but I preferred beef. I would come here again to try more dishes. Perfect for 2 or for a big family.

Nasi lemak was nice although there were only little anchovies, with lots of onions, and the sauce can be slightly spicier. Satay chicken was delicious especially the satay sauce. Disappointed with the kangkung belacan as it were slightly overcooked, and the stems were not as crunchy. Not much belacan or shrimp taste. The dish was soggy overall.

I was visiting from Pennsylvania and have never had Malaysian food. My sister brought me here and it blew me away! We started with Roti Canai, our main course was chicken rendang and we finished with Mango sticky rice. Every dish was fantastic. The service was prompt and all staff were friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend!!

A good big restaurant to have family get together. Roti canai is definitely my favorite. Chicken satay is consistent while beef satay can be tough (though still tasty). Food is generally good. The shrimp puffs are extremely delicious—highly recommended.

The food was very good! My daughter keeps on asking when we'll go back, the atmosphere was nice and the service was pretty good. Their green curry is amazing and the restaurant is pretty big. I would 100% recommend it for your next family dinner!

July 2024: Enjoyed a very delicious dinner here. Favorites included the roti with curry sauce, the beef satay (thought it tasted better than the chicken), hainese chicken, chow fun noodles, and the crab . All of the food was very tasty . Service was friendly. Would definitely come back again for more delicious food.
