I think the curry sauce might be similar to the roti curry sauce? - Char Kway Teow 5/5: similar to pad see ew noodles.

5 stars: one of the best values around, and we've never had a bad dish here…read more We're regulars at Ipoh Kopitiam, and it hasn't let us down yet. At this price range, you can't get anything better. What we keep ordering: Hainan chicken rice, kaya toast, chicken curry, roti, and laksa noodle soup. We've worked through a good part of the menu and haven't hit a miss. Service is super quick. Food usually lands in under 5 minutes after ordering. The one heads-up: there's almost always a wait. Put your name down on the Yelp waitlist before you head over and you'll cut most of it. Go if you want consistently good food without spending much. Plan ahead at peak hours if you hate waiting.

On the other hand... THIS is definitely worth the drive! This was my second time here, and it was…read morestill just as good as I remembered. We were seated really quickly, and the food came out fast too. We originally planned to go to another Malaysian spot down the road, but the wait was over an hour, and they didn't have the noodles I wanted. I'm honestly so glad we ended up here because we loved it so much that we ordered two noodle dishes to have leftovers. It's definitely a no-frills kind of place, but the food speaks for itself, really good, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely more expensive than your street food in Malaysia but it's the best you can get for CA . One thing I would skip is the cendol. It was much more like a sweet, sugary drink than the shaved-ice-style dessert I was expecting. Would absolutely come back for the food.

Singapore Laksa (6/10) - the curry was rather thin and lacking in flavor but maybe that's because it's intended to be more of a soup. I would've preferred rice on the side instead of rice noodles. Next time I would get the actual curry instead of this, but that is just personal preference Roti (8/10) - probably the best thing we had. It was simple but very delicious, flakey and decadent. The curry sauce was much thicker and paired along well, giving a sweet and mildly spicy flavor Nasi Campur (7/10) - the first bite was delicious, but gradually became more monotonous after each bite. I think the ratio of fried chicken thigh to the sausage and cha siu was slightly off, adding to the repetitive nature of the dish. Overall, it was still quite good

Overall, there were some highlights, but the dishes that were a miss were pretty unenjoyable. My friend was super excited to see char siu on the menu since we had passed on Cantonese char siu the day before, but the char siu bowl that they had here was closer to Taiwanese braised pork belly rice. There were some pieces of meat that were tender and seasoned well, but the majority of pieces were too dry, and the rice to meat ratio was pretty bad; you're definitely not getting your money's worth with this dish. The other dish that was pretty bad was the rendang bowl. Rendang is one of my favorites dishes because of how tender the meat can be and how many different types of spices are used, but the one here misses the mark in every way: the pork was dreadfully dry, the pork wasn't seasoned well, and honestly, it was hard for us to finish the bowl. A complete waste of $16. The dishes that were enjoyed by our part included the fried fish cakes, the fried corn fritters and the skewers. These I would get again if I stopped by again. Overall, I was a bit disappointed by our meal. Everything on the menu sounded appetizing, but the execution was not there.

They have so many different options, including rice dishes, sauces, fried chips, snacks, and Indonesian drinks. I actually think some of their dishes taste a lot better than some of the Indonesian restaurants we've tried in SoCal. Everything is always freshly made, and the flavors really remind me of home. My friends and I usually get the banana-wrapped rice with beef rendang or the chicken version. We also tried the nasi kucing with octopus, and it was really good! The only downside I'd say about the rice plates is that I wish they gave more meat and less rice, especially with the larger wrapped ones. The prices definitely aren't cheap for these meals, but the food does taste good. We also tried their fried banana topped with cheese and Ceres, and it was chef's kiss. It was so good that I regret not getting more! This is a place we always used to visit when we lived in SoCal, and we still make a point to stop by whenever we're visiting down there now that we've moved to the Bay Area. There are still so many other dishes from this place that I haven't tried yet, but I definitely will the next time I visit! Parking is first come first serve and it's free. Sometimes during the weekend, it gets packed. There are limited outdoor seatings in front of the shop and no indoor seatings. They have microwave inside for you to heat the food and water as well. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're ever in the area. If you're craving authentic Indonesian flavors that remind you of home, this is definitely worth a visit.

Everything we ordered was great, but the standout for me was the fried oxtail. The curry‑based marinade was rich and flavorful, and the meat was fall‑off‑the‑bone tender. Such a satisfying dish.

Be careful of the fried hard boiled egg w/Sambal - that Sambal is legit!! I've never had Perkedel and the corned beef was pretty tasty. But the peanut sauce for the gado-gado really took me by surprise. Solid recipe and yes; they use real Sambal. The restaurant was busy and there seemed to be one person doing everything.
