As a Malaysian, I'm quite picky when it comes to Malaysian food served in other countries. Rasa passed with flying colors—and then some. It's a little pricey but worth it. Ambiance is intimately quiet
Mandar MAugust 13, 2015Try the soft shell crab in massaman curry - they can make it spicy and it comes in a plentiful bowl, fast service !
John LeeFebruary 15, 2016Teh tarik (Malaysian milk tea) here is legit. Many will call this heresy but I think their char kuey teow is an ok approximation of the original, even though it uses chicken instead of pork broth/fat.
Jasmine MehrabiMarch 12, 2023Overall really good Malaysian food. Started with roti canai (a must) and calamari. Then drunken noodles & rendang beef (both really good). Also massaman and flounder curries (wish they were spicier).
Serious EatsMarch 17, 2014There's some solid Malaysian dishes like laksa, but also some good hard-to-find specialties like candied squid and maggi mee.
KateApril 21, 2024We ordered so much food but my favorites were the satay chicken (true textured peanut sauce), salted egg yolk prawns, and the basil eggplant belacan
Joe QuinnFebruary 25, 2016Amazing curry, among pretty much everything else. The staff is amazing and welcoming, the prices are good and the drinks are good too.
Mohammad AlamMarch 5, 2014Besides some traditional dishes like hainanese chicken, everything is great. Roti canai, chilli fried chicken, noodle dishes and soups too.
NaifJuly 28, 2019A very delicious Malaysian restaurant in a very cool area, I highly recommend the Mee Goreng “fried noodles”.- Robert ShoykhetFebruary 22, 2016One of my regular spots! The Thai Fried Rice and the Massaman Curry are both fantastic.
- SmitchJanuary 8, 2014The roti and the redang beef are fantastic. The tapioca and Malaysian tea are the perfect finish.
Jessica WickhamSeptember 30, 2016Great lunch specials. Loved my broth, chicken and noodles with side salad for only $10
Kirsten AlanaFebruary 9, 2014When it's cold outside, ask for the warm Tamarind cider. It warms you up nicely.
Jonathan L.August 23, 2024Laksa soup broths are good. Peppery, curried, and creamy. However meat & seafood quality is poor in the soup.
Dave CookDecember 18, 2013Housemade kaya will soon be available with your roti, or in containers to go!
Kenny BFebruary 21, 2014Misleading foursquare deal--you don't get a free sushi roll with your entrée!
