DavidDecember 11, 2017Food is damn tasty ! But the attitude and service leave something to be desired
David GilfordApril 20, 2010Malaysian staples Roti Canai and Nasi Lemak were delicious. And intense ginger candy comes with the check.
Fiona FongApril 24, 2016WORST customer service & attitude ever! Refused to deliver my order due to their mistake, and instead of apologizing they were ridiculously rude, said they are not responsible and don't know anything.
Daniel GraysonJune 12, 2018Expensive. Not particularly interesting. Confused menu. I’d suggest passing.
Brendan LJanuary 6, 2011Food is fairly good. But man, what a rip off. $7 for Roti Canai, damn! And potions are soo small. Staff were great, but the place is over priced. Try Nyonya in Chinatown, so much better and authentic.
Claudia FilthNovember 17, 2015Not sure why this place has such a high rating. The food, service and ambience were all below average.
Selin CebeciJune 11, 2013It's an eat and go place; not a place to sit and chat. Service was so annoying , they basically pushed us out of the door.. Highly not recommended
- NycShop GuideMay 13, 2013Bad service update:: We give @lautunionsquare restaurant host Liam as the worst host in NYC. We recommend to skip this place entirely. Horrible host with horrible service.
Patrick ButlerMay 31, 2013Disappointed. Over priced for what you get. The chicken in my $18 chicken pad thai was rubbery and made me nervous. The atmosphere is pleasant.
Emma LeedsNovember 2, 2013Rudest reception I have ever experienced. If I wasn't incredibly hungry I would have left.
