Yum! Im always happy to try new Malaysian spots in Chinatown, Curry House didn't disappoint! Friendly, quick service with prices that can't be beat. I tried one of the noodle soups- the portions were so generous! Double portion of noodles that left me super satisfied. They also have a few outdoor tables on Pell street which is super cute and vibrant. Will be bac
Delicious and authentic Malaysian food in the heart of Chinatown! Family run business. Boss lady was very kind and sweet. It was midautumn moon festival and she gave us free mooncakes. I had a dinner with a large group of 10 people. We ordered the beef curry, roti canai, stir fried ong choy, Penang char kway teow, Assam laksa, hokkien noodle, Hainanese chicken, fishball soup. All very aromatic and stirfry full of "wok hay". I found the Assam laksa unique and hard to find. It's a sweet and sour fish soup traditionally with tamarind, which is rare ingredient in the US. They substituted with pineapple, which I thought was very clever. Generous portions! We were all very stuffed!
I tried Curry House on Saturday and unfortunately came away underwhelmed. There were some positives. The portions were quite generous, and the food itself was not too bad. However, several things detracted from the overall experience. One issue was the way the food was served. Our dishes came in hard plastic containers rather than ceramic plates or bowls. The plastic did not retain heat particularly well, so the food cooled down much too quickly. Proper ceramic serving dishes would have made a noticeable difference. Service was also lacking. Our water was never refilled during the meal, which is a fairly basic expectation when dining at a restaurant. The biggest disappointment, however, was the ABC (Ais Kacang) shaved ice dessert. I am familiar with Malaysian food and also cook Malaysian dishes myself, so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. Unfortunately, this ABC missed the mark badly. The red beans were undercooked and hard, there were no peanuts, and the syrup was extremely weak. It seemed as though either the wrong sugar was used or there simply wasn't enough of it to produce the rich sweetness that should flavor the shaved ice. We were also given paper cups to use while eating the ABC rather than proper bowls. Between the hard beans, missing peanuts and poorly done syrup, we eventually gave up and left a significant portion unfinished. I have included a photo of what we left behind because we simply couldn't finish it. There is potential here. The portions are generous and the main food was decent, but the presentation, service and especially the ABC need improvement. I really wanted to like Curry House, but based on this visit, I left disappointed.
This is my second time here and business is booming since the TikTok reviews. Was a bit disappointed in the food this time around. Nothing really stood out so not sure I will be back.
08/04/2026@6:57pm Walk in for table of 2. Seating area are comfy with spacing , not like most restaurants tie and squeeze table too closely. The curry here is better than the other Malaysian restaurant in the area. To know if it's a good Malaysian, first thing is to try the curry. We order a curry beef stew noodle and a satay tofu. The curry beef stew came with only beef stew skin and few pieces of burn potatoes. (Not sure did the meat fell off from the beef skin as it stewed and remain in pot). The satay tofu was fill with ingredients. Overall due to I appreciate the curry soup, i will go back to try the curry rice next time when I'm back in Chinatown.
Really enjoyed our meal at Curry House in Chinatown. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out fast. The Japanese tofu also amazing, but the unexpected standout? The green beans Malaysian style! I honestly wasn't expecting it to be the dish I'd rave about, but they were SO good. Definitely a must-try. The owner was also incredibly nice and welcoming. She even gave us some complimentary prunella tea, which I had never tried before. Of course, now I'm on the internet looking up recipes because apparently I need to figure out how to make this at home. Definitely going back to try more of the menu. Great food, great service, and a really nice experience overall!
everything we order is pretty good. the roti comes with curry and there's meat inside! the veggies is the must and the noodles are very chewy which i love it so much! Hainan chicken also pretty decent. service is fast and nice. ambiance is just like other chinatown restaurant
Guys I think this might be my new favorite Malaysian spot. It's so hard finding Malaysian food around me that actually has flavor, but this one really delivered. Prices are pretty affordable too and the portions are solid. Got the beef satay and it was super tender and really flavorful. The roti canai was nice and flaky and the curry was really good. The Penang kueh teow (stir fried noodles) had that smoky flavor that just hit perfectly. The chicken and shrimp taro nest was also really good. If you like taro you'll definitely like this. Lastly for dessert I got their ABC ice, coffee flavor shaved ice with corn, red beans and palm seeds. I know corn in dessert sounds a little weird but give it a try you might actually like it. 10/10 will come back
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!
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.
Great local place to eat at! You're getting authentic flavors with a modern twist. Their price point is also very good and affordable as well and their portions are definitely WAY MORE than other spots so you'll definitely feel full leaving. Service is great and waiter was patient with answering all of our questions since we had a friend that was vegan and they were able to accommodate substitution. Place is very clean and spacious so great for big groups from 6-8 for a team lunch as well.
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!
Good hainan chicken, stir fry udon and ong Choi!!! Fun spot with great menu selection. Plus they take cc!!

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
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

Very good service! Their curry beef and black bean sauce beef is one of the most tender cuts of meat I've had. And most of all, it's very affordable (~$11 for a rice dish). 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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
I love everything we ordered here. Everything was packed with flavor! I came back for the curry beef stew on rice because it was amazing! This is definitely a hole in the wall, I keep forgetting about this place until I walk by. The staff here is also super friendly and smiley. Feels like a mom and pop shop! Highly recommend! Will be back soon! read more
