amazing ,delicious clean and inexpensive!. this restaurant is absolutely worth a trip from the 5 boros!
the food was so good i almost cried!
so much better than the malaysian restaurant in china town manhattan and so much better than the trash hole in elmhurst everyone raves about! and yes i have been to them both! there are other malaysian restaurants in nyc both those are the restaurants with the highest reviews which puzzles me!
the crowd was mixed not a williamsburg type of crowd. it was a group of sophisticated diners. they were ethnically mixed. asians, africans (from africa), mexicans, indian/pakistanis, an ethnically diverse crowd.
if i walked in and saw all white bread of america maybe with their "hot" asian girlfriends i would not be impressed. because those types usually all frequent the same substandard places. but the food is good so that is why it draws all kinds of people.
first of all i am allergic to shell fish. we first ordered roti canai as an appetizer. coconut rice to go with everything. then several entrees. each entree was a flavor explosion!
really unique and not only delicious but of high quality unlike the trash heap in elmhurst queens. malaysia grill in manhattan is one of my favorite restaurants in the 5 boros
my hubby asked which i liked better we couldn't decide. we had different dishes. both are really good!
i only compare the same cuisines. this at least ties with malaysia grill.
i think the highlight of the meal though everything was good was a tropical fruit/chicken dish! it is caleld ayam tropical with mango lime, papaya and lychee! amazing!
we had a grouperdishwith coconut curry. it was unique and addictive! we also had hokkien chow mee and we have had that at a few other malaysian restaurants it was best here we agree!
finally we had the duck with plum sauce simple and delicious!
if you think the malaysian trash hole in elmhurst is good, go there! save this for discriminating diners!
it is only one store away from the famous carlo's bakery! (from the tv show cake boss)
we did notice it when we went to carlos but we didn't pay too much attention. i am paying attention now! amazing! we were not expecting it to be so good since we have been let down by so many malaysian and asian restaurants in nyc. other than malaysia grill in manhattan this is the best we have been to!
the restaurant is clean and they have a funny sign up in the bathroom that is nice and kind of rambling saying they want to keep it clean and please do not put paper towels in the toilet it is a constant headache and so very messy!
so they are clean, have great food, the prices are moderate, and it is easy to get to. delicious clean and inexpensive! there is reason not to go!
