This was one of our first stops when we arrived in New York for our family holiday vacation. Nice little cozy mom and pop spot in Chinatown. Place was pretty busy but we got seated within 15 mins. Staff were nice and they seem to have regulars that are in and out throughout the day. Our food came out pretty quick as well once our order was placed. We went with some lighter dishes since we planned on walkin around a little more. We got the oyster omelet, seafood noodle dish, tom yum soup and some pork ribs. I would say the ribs were the biggest hit with our table. read more

We recently ordered delivery from Curry House via UberEats and was very satisfied with the quality and quantity of food. My go-to Malaysian order is the curry mee with young tofu. Curry House's version was very good, with a flavorful but not terribly spicy broth. I liked the generous amount of stuffed eggplant and stuffed peppers, as well as the fried tofu. However, the noodles were disappointing, lacking the QQ chewiness and springiness that I prefer from Nyonya. The Malaysian oyster omelet was surprisingly good. A huge fan of the Taiwanese version, I was delighted to find this tem on the Curry House menu. Oily? Yes. Satisfying? Absolutely. This came with a good amount of oysters enveloped in a fluffy, chewy omelette. My kids loved the Hainanese chicken rice. The chicken meat was very tender. Portions were moderate. The rice was quite flavorful, but not the best I've ever had. In addition, we ordered a fried fish and tomato over rice dish for our kids, who cannot handle heat. The sauce was delicious, but for us adults, the mildness was a bit boring. This came with an abundant amount of rice alongside a moderate amount of fish fillet chunks. While everything here was solid and prices were reasonable, overall I prefer Nyonya on Grand St. read more

This is one of my favorite establishments in Chinatown. Delicious, huge portions, and affordable. Love and highly recommend the Curry Beef Stew over rice, Hainan Chicken over rice, Roti Canai (Homemade indian pancake served with curry chicken), Penang Kueh Teow (Kueh teow noodle with pork, squid, shrimp, chive, and bean sprouts), Fried Calamari with Salt and Pepper, and Green Beans. They offer white rice, Chicken Rice, and Coconut Rice. Yum! read more

Came here with a group of friends on a Saturday. Plenty of seating and able to accommodate us. The food was really tasty and authentic. My friend raved about this place for a while and it lived up to the hype! The owners also gave use a dessert on the house that was made with their own adjustments and it was amazing! We loved everything that we got. The only thing was the little bean things in our vegetable dish that none of us actually liked and we didn't know what kind of bean it was. My favorite dish was definitely the nasi lemak! It was so good!! read more

We stopped by Curry House for a weekday dinner and had a great, no-fuss experience. Service was quick. We ordered the tofu satay, eggplant in garlic sauce, and vegetable curry with white rice. The food was flavorful, served piping hot, and arrived quickly--perfect for a casual dinner. This isn't an upscale spot, but it's clean, spacious, and comfortable--not cramped at all. If you're in the mood for hearty, tasty food without the frills, this place is definitely worth a try! read more

I went inside Curry House to get lunch today. I got myself a curry chicken on rice bowl for $11.50 and a roti canai appetizer for $5.50. Wait time was a couple of minutes and luckily there was a long green bench to sit and wait for my order to be ready. Once I opened the curry chicken on rice bowl, I saw that the rice was very soggy and wet. Did not really like the texture. Wish it was not soggy or sticky. You can choose chicken with or without bones and I got it without. The chicken was very soggy too and the curry flavor was not strong enough. Wish it was stronger with more potatoes. There was a lot of curry sauce to drench the rice in. With the roti canai, the Indian pancake was very crispy and fried. The sauce was very good and I can taste the spiced flavor. The restaurant atmosphere is very modern with few people in it for lunch today. It is very clean though. read more

It was my first time trying Curry House after a friend recommended it, so I decided to order takeout. I went with the Kapitan Noodle (Malaysian), a pan-fried udon dish tossed in dark soy sauce with pork, chicken, squid, and shrimp. It looked amazing and smelled even better. Unfortunately, the noodles were a letdown. The udon was overcooked, it wasn't spongy or bouncy. Since the noodles are the star, it really fell flat for me, which was disappointing. I also tried the baby oyster omelette--it was fine, but nothing special, as I've had better... Meh! read more

Decent spot for Malaysian food in Chinatown. Not too many people on a weekday during lunch time. Service was fast and friendly but, because we were practically the only table of diners there the entire time, the servers were staring at us while we were eating, which I did not appreciate. We ordered: Spring rolls- Ordered this off of their dim sum menu. Tasted standard and came with a tasty sweet and sour sauce. They came out hot and crispy. Satay tofu- Liked how the tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Served with tons of crunchy bean sprouts and a fairly mild satay sauce. Char kway teow- Loved this dish! The noodles were perfectly pan fried with a smoky flavor and the addition of seafood and Chinese sausage worked perfectly. Curry beef stew over rice- Beef was very tender and curry was flavorful but not too spicy. Loved the fried potatoes as well! Overall, the food here was good and the prices are reasonable as well, given the portion size. Some things to improve on: 1) Some classic Malaysian dishes like rendang and laksa are noticeably missing. Consider adding these to the menu? 2) Recommend that the servers at least pretend to be busy instead of staring at diners during times of low foot traffic. read more

This place is still a staple in our haircut Saturdays. It's never so busy that you can't get a table immediately, the food is cheaper and have huge portions, and the service is super fast. We are almost through the entire menu and very rarely did we get something we didn't like. read more

We walked in as a group of 9 on a Thursday night and were seated right away. The place is spacious, clean and modern compared to other Chinatown restaurants. The staff were friendly and attentive; food came out in quickly. Half of our group are non-Asians and it was their first time trying Malaysian. We ordered several dishes to showcase the different flavors and spices. Everyone was surprised by the larger than average portion size. Our group loved the food and plans are in the works for an encore soon. read more

A table for 2 last Sunday. Me and my wife had an early lunch right before church service. I would rank this higher than most Malaysian restaurants within the vicinity. I ordered Nasi Lemak and wifey ordered Curry Noodle with Young Tau Foo. Excellent, excellent nasi lemak, rice is succulent and fragrant. Fried anchovies are spot on. Crunchy and savory, just how it supposed to be. Most places would serve the anchovies stale and hard to chew but not theirs. Definitely a must order again for me, generous portion, could be split into 2 people if you are not too hungry. Wifey enjoyed her stuffed eggplant Tau Foo, she said the eggplant is soft and sweet. Lovely lunch/dinner spot, we will be back!! read more

Really good spot and glad we came here. On a Sunday, there was a lot of space available though the restaurant was still busy. Food came out Asian style - as in it comes out once it's ready, and the apps came out within 10 minutes of us placing the order. The noodle didn't take that much longer. Before we started eating, we were contemplating ordering more but we're glad we didn't! The portion sizes of the noodles and satay tofu is pretty big. I imagine most things on the menu are of good size as well. Flavors are on point, though I tried to get our noodles "less spicy" but they took out the spice entirely. So if you plan to order a spicy dish, either keep it as is or know that they likely don't do a milder spice option. read more

When the place is packed on a weekday afternoon, in a neighborhood filled with amazing eats, you know it's probably pretty good. It's safe to judge a Malaysian restaurant by their Nasi Lemak, so I knew I was going to order that when I solo dined here recently. They kept it traditional, complete with crispy anchovies, hard boiled egg, sambal and peanuts. I paired it with a satay chicken app. The portions and the crowd were harbingers of good things to come. The chicken satay came with 4 generous skewers of dark meat, with that signature sweet marinade and peanut sauce over it. I found both chicken satay and nasi lemak serviceable but not so memorable. I think it's about the quality of the ingredients. As a solo diner, I also found the portions, which were mostly family sized, made it difficult to try more of their menu. The flavors were solid and the kitchen was pretty efficient however. I like WokWok across the way for some of my other favorite Malaysian dishes. read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed them yet. Huge fan of their curry beef stew, especially on cold winter days, a large order lasts me a full week of meals and I also sometimes add veggies/potatoes to expand the curry to make it last longer. Didn't feel like cooking on this sweaty summery evening so I dropped by to get Homestyle Combination on rice ($12.95, hainanese chicken, curry beef stew, and fried egg on rice) and an order of the spring rolls ($7.95). Food came out quick. Chicken and curry beef stews tasty as always. First time trying their spring rolls actually and was kind of disappointed, they'd sort of just fried wrappers with minimal filling. Service was quick. They have ample seating- the usual Malaysian type ambiance. read more

I've been back to this restaurant too many times to not right an updated review. As per before, the best thing here is the Nasi Lemak which is both a massive portion for the price and is also a very flavorful excellent take on it. The rice could be a little bit better flavored but otherwise no complaints. The Satay here are excellent also with a particularly good beef one but the chicken is also great. Also, they have an excellent take on char kway teow listed as Penang Kueh Teow done the traditional way though I of course order it without squid and there's plenty of meat in there regardless of that including a whole lot of lap cheong/Chinese sausage and shrimp with a good amount of wok hei. The Silver Pin Noodles are also pretty good as is the roti canai which comes with one piece which is pretty common. Other dishes I've had have included the decent Pan Fried Rice Cakes, the very tasty Malaysian Style Spare Ribs, the ok Bird's Nest/Oyster Omelette, and the pretty good Eggplant Okra Petai Bean & String Bean with Belacan Sauce and Sambal Beef. As I've mentioned prior and other people mention, the weakest thing here is ironically the actual curry and if they named themselves Noodle House, I think it would be more appropriate for what you actually should order here. I love this place and I wish I didn't as much as it is taking me away from the other Malaysian spot I like Rasa which unfortunately is a lot pricier by comparison but has better service. Upper 4 for the good dishes and the good deals especially in the rice section. read more

I ate here several times with my colleagues. Although it was always busy, we never had to wait for a table. We did sometimes have to wait for our server to take our order or to check on us. The first time I ate there I had the Stir-Fried Jumbo Prawn in House Special Sauce which was a beautifully presented plate which was difficult to maneuver with chopsticks. I had difficulty getting to the meat of the prawns and only ate 2 of them, and gave the rest to my co-worker. We shared the Nasi Lemak Rice (a traditional Malaysian dish with rice and a serving of sambal, anchovies, peanuts, and boiled egg). This was my first time trying it and I enjoyed it. The portions of the dishes are not meant for one person. This surprised me the second time I went because I ordered a small Seafood Tom Yam Rice Noodle Soup and got a huge bowl which was enough to be a meal on its own. The soup was excellent and filling. I also ordered Honey Pork Chop over Rice. This was another new dish for me that I found to be really delicious. The third time I ate there, I had Malaysian Chow Fun Beef (fresh flat rice noodles stir-fried with beef, bean sprouts, and green onion, and tossed well with a flavorful seasoning sauce). I am not usually a fan of noodle dishes. However, I really liked this one. The restaurant ambiance is more like a cafeteria than a restaurant. It feels sterile and utilitarian. read more

It's noodle soup season. If you enjoy a curry noodle soup that won't break the bank, check out Curry House on your next trip to Chinatown. I had bookmarked Curry House for a while now and was glad we finally decided to visit on a chilly fall afternoon. First impression, there were multiple families dining there and the tables are spaced out comfortably enough, which was welcoming. Although we were hungry, we decided to first order two appetizers and two noodle dishes to be on the safe side. It's been more than a year since our trip to Southeast Asia, so we had to order some satay skewers. We opted for the beef satay, although lacking some smokiness from being cooked on charcoal, was quite flavorful and moist. We also ordered the omelette with oysters, which was large and great for sharing. We had to try the curry noodle soups and we chose the one with beef brisket. Although the beef brisket was nice and tender, I thought the curry soup base could use a little more complexity in taste. My favorite dish was easily the silver pin noodles with shrimp, the noodles were nice and chewy and the portion was generous. We managed to just finish all the food and ordered ABC shaved ice as dessert. The ice was nice and fluffy. Overall, the service was quick and the servers were friendly. read more

Stopped in here for an early Mother's Day dinner and was seated quickly for a larger group near the back! Service was quick, put in the order right away and food came out swiftly. Food was definitely tasty and unique. Not a lot of Malaysian restaurants in CA so this was a nice treat. Got several dishes - roti canai, Hainanese chicken, seafood/pork chow fun, and a few others. Everything was flavorful and hot. read more

My husband and I haven't had Malaysian food in a LONG time. Our fave Malaysian restaurant in Vegas closed. Anyways, we were in town for a long weekend and my husband's friend recommended this place. Service was great as they were very attentive while we were there. We also received a complimentary desert by (not sure if she was owner) and she was so friendly. The restaurant was bigger than it looked from the outside and they had a good amount of seating. Everything on the menu looked good. We ordered Roti, Satay beef & chicken, curry, Haianese Chicken and wonton noodle soup. All 4 of us almost left nothing on the table lol. We did have a couple of satay left but we did damage on the food lol. It was both our son's first time eating Malaysian and we are so glad they enjoyed it. Overall our experience here was great and would definitely come back when we're back in NYC. If you are in Chinatown, try this place, definitely recommend it read more

Came by for an early lunch with a friend; when we arrived around 11:30am on a weekend, the place was pretty empty still but slowly got busier during our meal. We ordered a few dishes to share: - roti canai: yum.  the roti was very tasty, nicely crispy and fluffy. The curry sauce was a bit too salty, although still it paired well with the roti. Would recommend. - satay chicken: the satay sauce admittedly looked a little unappetising when served, but thankfully appearances can be deceiving sometimes. The chicken was so delicious - very tender and juicy, well-cooked with just the right amount of char - and the satay sauce was fantastic. I love the peanut flavour coming through as well. - beef chow fun: not bad, although nothing too special. The noodles were pretty average - not too chewy, not too hard - and overall it was about as one would expect a plate of chow fun to taste like. The beef slices were good, very savoury and flavourful. Very yummy overall, and other than the great food, the price point was excellent, and we even had a little bit leftover for our next meal as well! Will definitely come back to try some of their other classic dishes (keen to try the char kuay teow and hokkien mee). read more

This cute little eatery is tuck away on Pell Street closer to Bowery in the heart of the nostalgic part of Chinatown from my childhood. The staff is friendly, one gave me trendy, nosy, auntie vibes, lol. Note: make sure your full party is either present or nearby (they get busy). The space itself is bigger than I thought, lots of tables, and the space is broad. I "thought" I was going with the beef silver pin noodles and got a whiff of the fried rice from another table.... needless to say, no more noods! I chose the chicken & shrimp variety, and it was absolutely delicious. I wish they had hot oil or chili crisp, but their homemade chili sauce was tasty. The portion was plentiful so I had lunch for the next day. I'm still thinking about that roti will definitely see them again. read more

Curry House is more of a 3.5 but I leaned toward a 4 because mom liked it. :) We ordered the beef skewers, the curry beef over rice, spring rolls, chicken rice, and coconut rice: Favorite item: Beef skewers with peanut sauce. The skewers were fresh, tasty, not chewy or too fatty, it was a good cut of meat and tasted great. Also, the 5 skewers were for $12.95 so the price point was good too. Least favorite: The spring rolls were just so soft and you couldn't really make out the filling because it was also kinda mush. They weren't the worst but just weren't good. The curry beef with rice was about 90% rice and 10% curry beef. I liked the flavor of the curry beef, it was a lot of fat and the family said it was mostly fat, but I like fatty cuts so I didn't mind. There wasn't enough sauce either and really the ratio was just so off, it was difficult to really enjoy. The chicken rice was mom's favorite. It's delicate, light, and fluffy and about $5 for a quart, so if you aren't feeling well, it's the perfect food with some broth. The coconut rice was my mistake as I thought it was sweet coconut rice but it was savory, more salty than the chicken rice. Definitely tasty, it just wasn't the dessert I was looking for. Overall though, all of the food was super fresh and tasty - which seems rare nowadays and I would definitely order the skewers and chicken rice again. read more

Nestled closer to the Bowery end of hustling Pell Street, we randomly popped in on a Saturday afternoon for a quick bite to avoid the crazy dim-sum lines nearby. We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious flavor and generous portions of the dishes we ordered. We eat Malaysian food often so ordered a few of our favorites such as Mee Goreng noodles, Ong Choy, curry beef noodle soup, roti canai and Achat. The dishes were more generously portioned compared other places we usually dine at. The space is open and roomy but casual. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. read more

Best & oldest Malaysian restaurant in Manhattan. Very clean inside & very fast service. The baby oyster omelette here is killing, & so is their curry soup broth.

A few nice dishes among a sea of very similar ones. We came to Curry House after a short run and were very hungry to say the least. Seating was wide open around 8pm as we strolled in and the staff were very attentive to us. We ordered several dishes, including a Curry Beef, Chow fun, and Sizzling Tofu. the standout was the tofu as none of us expected it be so soft on the inside while being so crispy on the outside. It soft texture mixed very well with the sauce it came in to be an overall, surprisingly light dish. All the curry dishes we ordered tended to blend in with each other. While it would have been nice to distinguish each curry from the next, I understand that they were fundamentally very similar. In end, a lot of the dishes were hard to separate. The nice thing was that our server gave a free bingsu-like dessert at the end. I only wish it had actually tasted like anything other than artificial sugar and water. read more

This was my first time trying Curry House with my friends. The interior has a lot of space and many tables. I ordered the Char Kway Teow because that's usually my go-to for Malaysian dishes however the noodles came out different then expected. I loved the amount of toppings that they included in the noodles however it didn't have enough seasoning or the flavors of a Char Kway Teow. My other friends were overall satisfied with their dish and they allowed us to stay in the seating for hours while my friends and I caught up which was really sweet. read more

Ordered take out here many times, but first time dining in. Food is always good and just what you would expect from a Malaysian spot. Not cheap but not expensive either, just average pricing. My recommendation is to just stick with their curry dish unless you know exactly what you want. I'd go for the sting ray or the chicken curry/mixed curry. Server was helpful in recommending dishes and food came out quick. Decent amount of seating areas so it may get packed but probably only during prime dinner or lunch times. read more

New restaurant on Pell St. Spacious inside with lots of tables. We came here on a Friday afternoon and were the only ones here. Ordered the Malaysian Chow Fun, Combo #18 (Curry Combination on Rice) and Combo #19 (Homestyle Combination on Rice). All three were good and flavorful. The beef stew that came with both of the combos were very good; tender and flavorful. We liked the Malaysian Chow Fun so much that we ordered one to go. They accept credit cards here, however, there was a sign that the minimum was $20 to credit cards which is a bit high. Most places have minimum of $10. read more

So first things first, this is a little hole in the wall place , I believe it is family owned. I'm all for supporting smalls businesses so I was really glad I was able to visit this place. The place is very spacious and there's room for large parties and single parties like me who likes to dine alone from time to time. Service was really fast, super clean and the menu was really easy to read. I got the beef stew and the ong choy (water spinach) on the side. There was SOOO MUCH FLAVOR in the beef curry , just enough spices and the meat was oh so tender! Highly recommend you try that dish! I ate it with a side of rice. The Ong choy was so flavorful and had a nice texture and crunch to it too! I prefer my veggies to be a little more crunchy and not over cooked. The portion sizes are so big for this place that I ended up barely making a dent in my dishes and took the rest home and ate it for later. If you're ever in China town area I highly recommend you stop here and grab a quick bite, you will not be disappointed! read more
