The roti canai is wonderful, and the cumin lamb is excellent. My wife likes the chicken fried rice with salted fish (nasi goreng ayam & ikan asin)- Jo MartinsonFebruary 3, 2016This place rocks with awesome flavor goodness! The Beef Rendang and Nasi Goreng fried rice are so good!
Ashok RajFebruary 15, 2013Lunch special. Totally worth it. Very filling. Rendang extra spicy completes my flavor fix.
KatrinaMay 23, 2012The mini peking duck is so good! The meat is moist and mild tasting with the crunchy skin...a must try.
The Nasi Lemak has just been greatly improved. Highly recommended.
Richard AOctober 1, 2010Try the Roti Canai appetizer, taste like heaven! Dessert you can never go wrong with Ice kacang! Taste like the halo-halo in Filipino.
ISC ChicagoJune 30, 2013A bit sparse, service was adequate. Chicken for the Hainanese Chicken Rice was a bit bland, but the rice and dipping sauce were very tasty. Didn't come with the standard chicken broth, tho.
dont come too late before close--they start running out of food! :( the roasted pork platter is worth the trip!! :)
Curtis HillerAugust 27, 2017Roti Canai lived up to the hype. Sweet and sour shrimp and clay pot seafood were both great and reasonably priced. Open floor plan + families = a bit hectic, but excellent service wins.
Kevin MasiFebruary 2, 2010This is so awsome: waited on by three people, I feel (and it tastes) like I'm in malaysia!
Steven SongOctober 13, 2011Disappointed that they did not have Hainanese chicken today. Ordered the Penang Char Kuay Yeow instead. It was good. But still disappointed.
