Let me start off by saying that the staff was very polite and helpful! The food was also amazing! We got the Tom Yum Soup, pineapple rice, black pepper chicken, and Optum Tofu. Very well balanced with spices. The restaurant was very clean and well set. It was busy, but understandable because the overall restaurant experience was amazing!

I thoroughly enjoyed this place. Authentic flavors, friendly service, and white table cloths. White table cloths matter, it made me feel like I am more than just a customer it made me feel like a VIP. Ordered the Hainan chicken, banana leaf rice, chicken curry laksa mee. I reccomend bone in since it adds more flavor. The banana leaf rice sauce was outstanding but the portion size was small compared to the others see pics. Thats my only conplaint. Other than that its great and I would make the 40 minute trip back.

Very popular restaurant, some dishes are better than others but flavors fall a bit short of Malaysia imo. Mixed satay takes a while but is grilled quite well. The roti is a little too crisp and papery on the edges. The char kway teow was tasty but could have had a bit more wok hei. The kangkung with belacan is a generous portion and not too funky. The beef rendang lacked a bit of depth and beef was perhaps a little too tender to the point of shredding. The assam pomfret was decent tasting but on the bony side. Skip the Kueh dessert, it's not right at all.

I recently visited the restaurant and ordered the Vegan Nasi Goreng, but I received pineapple fried rice with cauliflower and raisins instead. Although the restaurant was empty, we were seated next to the restroom, which was not ideal. Additionally, they didn’t ask for my preferred spice level. Despite these issues, my husband really enjoys the food and this place, which is why he brought me here. Unfortunately, I regret the visit.

The Chay Kway Teow does not had wok hei; the sambal Kang Kong was okay still not enough wok hei, the wat tan hor was good. The servers , one from Hong Kong and the other from Taiwan were friends gave a five stars. The place was your typical Asian restaurant, very noisy.
