Whenever I'm looking for flavortown THIS is the place to go!! The dishes we got were so flavorful and the service was great! Our food came out really fast and the portions were a good size. For two people at dinner, we got the roti canai w beef rendang, the laksa, and salt & pepper chicken wings. Roti & rendang: 10/10, I always order this and love it so much the flavors never fail and blend so well together. It reminds me of the one I had in Bali!! The roti is pan fried so well and it comes with just enough sauce and rendang. The rendang is also super tender and fall apart. Laksa: 8/10, love the noodle quality and texture and the soup is delicious! We loved the shrimp, tofu, and fish cake but could use more variety on toppings. Definitely a big portion and worth it though! Chicken wings: 8/10, it comes with 10 pieces and was fried nicely but not as crispy as I would want it. Super moist on the inside though and flavor seep through the wing. Overall great causal chill spot and so worth it for the food!! They also have a nice outdoor patio and we barely waited for dinner on a Thursday. Price to value ratio is also great, dinner only cost us $50! read more

The good: I went to Malaysia once and loved their food. It's hard to come by Malaysian food in the states so this place is a gem. I came for breakfast and liked their build your own breakfast option where you go to choose 3 items. My friend and I each got one set so we could try six different dishes. It was under $14 for each set. I tried nasi lemak, bean curd fish cake, chicken and rice with mushroom, Kaya toast with butter, Hong Kong pastry, milk tea and curry meatballs. I liked how flaky the fish cake bean curd was. I liked how loose and fresh the rice was. They had both indoor and outdoor dining options. There's a private parking lot but also two floors of underground garage parking. The bad: The underground parking is tight for larger cars. The interesting: The milk tea was pretty strong! It came with the cutest little red soup spoon. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam is AMAZING! The food is authentic, comforting, and packed with flavor. I didn't know Milo could get any better. I can't tell which is my favorite! Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Cozy vibe and friendly service made the experience even better. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! read more

make sure to join the waitlist if coming during peak hours (weekends/dinner!) wait can be 20min-1.5 hours. whole party must also be present to be seated. food comes out quick and service is fast. got the roti canai, char kway teow, and hainan chicken- three of their most popular dishes. The roti was fluffy but curry wasn't as flavorful as expected, and not spicy at all. The char kway was packed with various add-ins, loved that they didn't skimp! Hainan chicken has three dipping sauces but the chicken itself wasn't as tender and flavorful as other places, so it was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was worth the price but wouldn't return for the same dishes. Considering coming back to try the bolo bao, kaya toasts, and coffee! read more

Delicious food! Seems like there's a long line during the day but we ate around 8pm with little to no line. The Hainan chicken is our favorite! Meat is super tender and soft and the sauces provided are delicious. We also loved the Kaya toast and butter. Can't beat the classics! Parking is available underground behind the building. read more

We tried Ipoh Kopitiam, a Michelin Bib rated restaurant, yesterday night. I used Yelp to put us on the waitlist which had around 35 people when we joined. Unfortunately this situation was pretty stressful and nothing like I had experienced before when joining the waitlist at other restaurants. We waited until we were about 5th in line to walk up to the restaurant and waited to hear my name. All of the sudden, when I was 2nd in line (this was after waiting for nearly an hour), I got a text saying my name was removed from the waitlist? I immediately let the hostess know and she told us that if we don't physically let someone know we arrived when we get to the restaurant, then it would take my name off since the system thinks we never arrived. I thought that was odd (even though apparently it IS a thing according to google?) just because I have added myself to numerous waitlists across different states using Yelp... never once have I had to do that. I always just added my name and was called when I was 1st in line. Or I was texted a second time with the place saying "table is ready." I mean this was also the case in Canada too when I used Yelp there. So it made the whole experience pretty stressful since we thought we were going to have to put my name BACK on the list and wait a whole hour again. She did let us know she would manually add my name in and check us in, so we ended up being seated like 10 minutes after that. But still nonetheless stressful. For the food, however, we ended up ordering kaya toast with butter, hainan chicken, and two orders of the roti canai one of which had beef. The toast and hainan chicken were both really good honestly. Regular roti was great and beef one was just okay. Inside the restaurant was pretty nice and they were definitely busy. There's a bathroom in the back and street parking is free. I'm not sure if I would come back here just from that experience. Maybe when they're not busy so the waitlist wouldn't need to be used I might consider it? But the whole waitlist thing was just stressful as it's something I never encountered in my years on Yelp using the waitlist for other restaurants. read more

Whenever I visit Singapore / Malaysia, kopitiams are always one of my favorite things. Very thrilled when Ipoh Kopitiam opened up in SGV! Here's what we ordered : Roti Canai with Chicken Curry: Served with two curries, 1 rich and herby chicken curry with a nice balance of spice and sweetness, and another slightly sweeter one with okra. The roti itself was fresh, flaky, and light, really good. Hainan Chicken Rice: This was the highlight of our meal. The rice is so flavorful but not greasy. The chicken itself was incredibly tender and juicy, a mix of dark and white meat . It also came with the 3 essential sauces garlic-ginger, chili, and soy sauce . Each complemented the dish well. The chili had right amount of heat, while the garlic ginger paste is always my fav and amped up the dish. Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang: Came with the usual: boiled egg, sambal, peanuts, cucumber & rendang. The beef was tender but included a few tendon heavy pieces, which I wasn't a big fan of. But the spices on the rendang was decent. Kaya Toast: White toasted bread with kaya jam, so nostalgic but a bit underwhelming. The kaya wasn't as fragrant as the ones I get in SE asia, and could've been more generous with it in the toast. The wait can get really long, highly recommend joining the Yelp waitlist before heading over. Despite a few misses, Ipoh Kopitiam captures the familiar charm of kopitiam. Solid spot when you're craving a taste of home. read more

I'm giving this 4 stars, but honestly that doesn't reflect our actual experience. It was pretty mid, and I don't really get the hype. None of my family and I would come back We added ourselves to the Yelp waitlist and still waited about 37 minutes after checking in... kinda defeats the purpose. Ambiance was busy Also, everything came out lukewarm. Like not a single dish was actually hot. We ordered stir-fried noodles with gravy, Hainan chicken, laksa, curry chicken rice--stuff that should be hot--and it just wasn't. Costco samples are served hotter than here. Maybe they're just super busy, but still... hot food should be hot. Coming from SGV, this all tasted pretty standard. Nothing bad, just nothing that really stood out. Personally, doubt we'd return. read more

In love with this place (and this is coming from someone who is Singaporean and loves hawker food!). My family thinks this is one of the most authentic restaurants in terms of Malaysian and Indonesian flavors. The food is fantastic, and I have nothing but good things to say. Their roti canai with curry is reminiscent of my visits to Singapore. I also love their curry laksa and beef rendang. It's always packed when I go but I feel that the wait is worth it. The service is quick and seamless. I even was able to bring my dog (not a service dog) and we got a table outside under heaters. There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant and underground. read more

4.5 stars. I don't typically seek out Malaysian food, but this place makes me crave it. Their Kaya butter toast is very yummy, balancing sweetness and richness, sandwiched between two well toasted bread. Their roti is also very well made. It's light and flaky, soaking up the flavorful curry perfectly. One of their signature dishes is their hainan chicken. Although it's nothing extremely special, it's a classic done well. This place can get quite busy so make sure to join the yelp waitlist before hand. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam - Nasi lemak with beef rendang, SO GOOD. - Malaysian Near Me - Alhambra, California

I enjoyed my visit at Ipoh Kopitiam on a Sunday late morning. The line was pretty long and it required being put on a waitlist. There are indoor and outdoor seatings available but we chose to sit inside due to an inconsiderate smoker. The waiters were swift and efficient yet very friendly. At no point did I feel rushed but the food arrived promptly and the checkout process fast. I really liked the stir fried noodles, the milk tea, kaya toast, and the roti. The latter was fluffy and the curry sauce delicious. The kaya toast wasn't too sweet and I really liked the flavor of the milk tea itself. The stir fried noodles had a nice charred wok hei flavor. It contained smorgasbord of texturally different flavors -- crunchy bean sprouts in one bite, savory shrimp in another, and so on. Absolutely delicious. I didn't really care for the chicken and rice unfortunately. The chicken tasted cold and rubbery. The accompanying sauces didn't inject more flavors. The rice was bland. Not something I would write home about. Parking is free behind the building or in the garage. It's best to utilize the Yelp Waitlist feature to expedite your turn. I wouldn't mind returning if I'm in the vicinity. read more

I visited Ipoh Kopitiam for a late lunch but did not realize they have a limited menu during tea time which is 3pm to 4:30pm. The crowd was less busy but unfortunately we could not try some dishes as they are not offered at tea time. We ordered some toast, noodles, curry and bbq pork rice. The bbq pork rice was the best dish in my opinion. Each dish we ordered came with a beverage which was nice during tea time. Need to pay a visit to try other items in their menu. Service was prompt and attentive too. read more

Hands down the best Malaysian BBQ Pork in town! Only available during afternoon tea menu (3-5PM). It locates in the same building with UCLA health care center on Valley. Can get pretty packed during peak hours, recommend join waitlist in advance and check in with the host once you get to the store. - Malaysian BBQ Pork: 5/5. Highly recommended! the pork is juicy, tender, has a nice touch of smokey flavor. - Kaya Toast: 4.5/5. Really unique, serves great as appetizer or dessert after as it's sweet. Recommended! - Bah Kut Teh: 3/5. Personally not my favorite, it's a pork rib dish cooked in broth. Has strong aroma, restorative, almost medicinal taste from the herbal ingredients. read more

I ordered the hainan chicken and kaya toast. Chicken is tender, the soy sauce and chili sauce were really good. I couldn't really taste the ginger from the ginger sauce and I wish it had scallions. Rice was okay. This is my first time having kaya toast and it's not what I expected. I was hoping for more coconut flavor. Overall, it's a dish to try because it's a staple in Malaysian cuisine. Service was great. On the side note, I had a great talk with some customers next to me and they also enjoyed their food. They got the roti and curry. read more

This place was a fun find. Malaysian food meets Hong Kong cha caan ting. The food is amazing and fast. Very good value especially for breakfast. They make their Kaya in house and Kaya is rare to find in the states. Flavors were all amazing, fast service so you are rushed a bit but overall good experience. read more

Wait even at 10:30 but 15 min was quite fast. You can join the waitlist when you turn into parking. Parking is when u pass the restaraunt in the small ucla regents plaza sign underground or street a block over if u missed it like us. Casual vibe. Service was so nice! First off seated fast, they asked us multiple times if we were ready to order, what drinks, and were very fast with everything we needed without being pushy. All the uncles were so friendly. Its quite popular amongst family. Menu appears to be standard. Kaya toast- coconut jam with Asian white bread perfect light snack Beef rennang Roti- so surprised. I think they overheard us trying to decide between the two and they decided to just give us a sample for both. The beef rennang is so tender ( like a beefy stew) more tomatoey/braised Stew flavor. The chicken curry was coconut, watery texture but with flavor. Both were good! The roti came out hot and fresh, peelable layers. Very cute and puffy. For the appetizer price I think its good if you want to sample. If you want more substance, go for the nasi lemak. **Char kway teow- highly highly recommend. It has a variety of protein, stir fried well beautiful flavor. Comes with fried fish cakes. Wok hei. I loved the bean sprouts. It can be a bit oily but thats the character of it. Hainan chicken- cold dish. Not super fragrant. I liked the sauces, the chicken was boneless and came with a wing. With how fast everything comes out it make sense how it was pre prepped. The chicken was tender. Malaysian milk tea- never had a Malaysian one but taste tasted exactly like the authentic hk tea u get in hk at those cha chaa tengs. Overall, the service was excellent and so sweet. I recommend the char kway teow and milk tea! read more

I came back here to try their breakfast menu from 9-10:45am. I ordered sticky rice with chicken, fried rice noodles, Portuguese egg tart, pork and preserved egg porridge. These breakfast items came with hot milk teas. Sticky rice had very soft texture with flavors from herbs and spices in there. Rice noodles were tough to chew. Egg tart was sweet and good. Porridge was also good with shredded pork pieces. Hot milk tea was creamy but there was no bold flavor of tea that I look for. Service was okay- they would not let anyone order from regular menu until 11am because their breakfast ends at 10:45 am. This place had a long line after breakfast time. Not a lot of tables inside but they have extra seating area at a patio outside with heaters provided for comfort. read more

I am rating Ipoh Koptiam a 4-star because this is USA and you can't get better Malaysian cuisine than this. Over-all the food is quite good, thought I have had much better in Malaysia/Singapore. The char kway teow is too greasy and not wok hee enough. The prawn mee flavor is weak (would not order this again) and the boiled egg does not compliment this dish. read more

This place is very popular. We joined the Yelp waitlist in advance and still had to wait like 30 min outside in the heat. They provided iced water outside though which was nice in the blazing heat. Staff was efficient and quick in taking orders and bringing it the food. We got the Hainan chicken and char kwat tow flat rice noodles. Portions were decent for both- the chicken portion was on the smaller side but very yummy and tender. Dipped in the oil ginger sauce and paired with rice, it was great. The noodles came with several pieces of shrimp, fish cake, and Chinese sausage. It was kind of oily but not too bad, not in a way that leaves your lips feeling super greasy or anything. read more

Service was quick on a Thursday lunch. Great comfort Malaysian food! Very well priced with free drink refills for coffee and milk tea! Personally I thought the food was just good and okay. It wasn't mind blowing. I loved the Roti with curry I had but I didn't think any of the items were spicy. I loved the umami, spices, and textures of the curry beef rice since the peanuts are a nice addition. I think there's better mom and pop Malaysian restaurants I've tried in the bay that have more flavorful dishes. Overall a must try for introduction to Malaysian comfort food! read more

Came here to try the famous hainan chicken rice. The wait time is very long so be prepared to join the waitlist at least an hour before during peak lunch time like 12 PM to 1 PM. Hainan Chicken Rice 4/5 -This was very yummy. The sauce made it very special as they give a light soy sauce, chili sauce, and ginger scallion oil. The chicken was also super tender, but the only thing is that they give such a smaller amount of chicken and a larger portion of rice. The portion is just smaller than expected and may not be worth the price. Curry Laksa 4/5 - I liked this dish as they give a lot of noodles and a large bowl of curry soup with it. The only thing is that if you don't like creamier type of soup this might not be for you. They give lots of toppings like tofu, fish cake, and shrimp along with it and bean sprouts. The noodles are also nicely chewy and bouncy QQ Service 1/5 - I got my hainan chicken rice and my partner ordered the curry laksa. The hainan chicken rice came around super quickly within 5 minutes and was great but the curry laksa took about 30 minutes. So I was sitting there waiting for the laksa to come but it never arrived until I had to ask for someone to check on it which then came around 5 minutes later. I saw other people get their laksa right away while I was sitting there with my food getting cold. I would rather wait 30 minutes for both foods to come out instead of 1 in 5 minutes and the other 30 mins later. Overall, I don't think I would come back here again but it was nice to try and check out the hype around this place. read more

The flavors here are impeccably done! If you visit, make sure to put your name on the waitlist. We were on the waitlist for about an hour on a Sunday night. The interior is clean and bustling. I ordered a milk tea, which was not too tannic and perfectly sweet. We ordered a roti and Kaya toast to share. It was my first time trying Kaya toast and it was reminiscent of a coconut candy I used to love eating as a kid. For entrees, we ordered a their signature Hainanese chicken, beef rendang, and wonton mee. The Hainanese is one of the best I've had at a restaurant, and they cooked the rice in chicken broth too! The beef rendang was spice-y and packed a flavor punch. I think the wonton mee, while good, didn't particularly stand out because of how flavorful everything else was. All the food tasted really good, but I docked a start off because the portion sizes were a little tiny. I would definitely bring others here to try authentic Malaysian food! read more

The laksa here is hands down the best I've had -- so much flavor packed into every bite. The shrimp being cut vertically in half (with the shells still on) was a little questionable, but the broth more than made up for it. The char kway teow was solid, though I personally prefer the Cantonese style. Kaya toast was tasty too, just a bit on the pricey side for what it is. Overall, I'd definitely come back for Malaysian food here and want to try the Hainan chicken next time. Pro tip: join the waitlist early. For a Saturday lunch rush, we joined ahead of time and still waited over 2 hours. Also, don't forget to check in when you arrive -- otherwise they'll skip your spot. read more

Understandable that there's usually a long line or cluster of people outside. However on the weekday nights that we've gone, the wait has never been over 10 minutes luckily. There's both inside and outdoor seating with coverings to block the busy street and some heat lamps as well. You can also add yourself to the Yelp waitlist to save some time as well. Also just an FYI, the upper lot is QUITE tight, but there is a very deep underground parking which is nice. Each time that we've gone the service is super efficient and the food came out extremely quickly. So Ipoh has got it down pat to accommodate the high volume of patrons. Of the times I've been here, I've had the: 1) Toast with Kaya (and butter): -We've ordered this 2 times, both with and without the butter. -The butter adds a nice subtle creaminess to the toast and a slight salty taste to it too, making the flavor a little bit more complex. -The toast comes without any of the crust which is nice. -The kaya has a nice sweet coconut taste to it, both ways taste deliciously yummy. Great simple appetizer food if you're planning on sharing a dish. 2) Roti Canai with Beef Rendang: -When my friend and I ordered this, there was enough beef rendang left over to eat with rice, so it was a good idea that we ordered the extra order of plain coconut rice. -The roti canai, or I guess what's called "flat bread" is nicely delicate and layered, absorbing the beef rendang quite well. Not too oily and easily addicting to eat, I can easily imagine eating this endlessly. The beef rendang's meat was tender and absorbed the flavor of the sauce. We got this milder, so it had a depth of spice flavor to it, but was not spicy. There's a slight sweet coconut taste to it too, pulling everything together. 3) Nasi Lemak with Chicken Curry: -This comes on a platter on top of pandan leaves, making it a very aesthetically pleasing dish. -It comes with some coconut rice on it as well as sambal chili paste, a boiled egg, cucumber slices, peanuts, and 2 decently sized pieces of chicken (I think a breast piece and drumstick). The curry was, again, not spicy but had a nice diverse flavor of spices with a hint of sweetness. -The dish is a symphony of flavors and textures with everything that's offered and can feed two semi-hungry adults which is very nice. 4) Coconut Rice: -This is a plain, pretty decently large bowl of coconut rice that we had with our roti canai with beef rendang. Subtle coconut taste that went great with our leftover curry. -And even if you have some left over, you can easily pair this with so many things at home. 5) Cold Sugar Free Malaysian Milk Tea: -Love that there's a sugar free version so I can order it to go for my boyfriend. -Reminds me of an HK milk tea but with a much stronger roasted and tea flavor as there's no extra sugar to make it sweet. -Definitely tastes like something strongly caffeinated to keep you up. Both of us really liked this. Great place to get food in between the Alhambra and MPK border. Can't wait to come back to try more of the menu and get their Dinosaur Milo. Also excited for the Santa Anita mall's location to open up too. read more

TL:DR - Great food, great service, great prices Located in the Alhambra neighborhood, Ipoh Kopitiam serves up a wide range of dishes from Hong Kong to Singaporean food. There is parking in the plaza attached to the restaurant. There is also indoor and outdoor seating, if you're still trying to be covid conscious. During breakfast they will offer a separate breakfast menu, but all other times they'll have their regular menu. I got the butter buns and nasi lemak with beef curry rendang. I'm honestly not very familiar with what nasi lemak is, but I read beef curry and I had to get it. This did not disappoint at all! A nice beefy flavor paired with what tastes like a slow cooking of spices. It has a very light touch of heat to it. The cucumbers and peanuts give a nice contrast to it and cool the tongue down. The butter buns was a great dessert. A nice sugary milk toasted top, with a thick slab of butter in the middle. It doesn't get better than that! The service was incredibly nice, and the food came out super quick! Even waiting for a seat didn't take that long. Overall, this is a great place for food any time of day. read more

First time here even though I live so close by and pass by all the time! It's a popular place to try and glad I got to try it! There's always a line outside which we came when they open so we were good! Inside there were lots of seating and and they had music playing but not loud. Also service was quick as well! And food came quick! We ordered a few items to try. I liked the roti and laksa but also the hainan chicken as well! The sauces went well all together. It was light but flavorful. The laksa was a soupy noodle and the flavor was so good and glad we got to try it. We also got the dry wonton noodles with curry chicken which not bad as well. It's worth a try! read more

My family and I were excited to try the Malaysian/Singaporean cuisine at Ipoh Kopitiam. We've always been wanting to dine in at Ipoh Kopitiam, but the lines were incredibly long. Ipoh Kopitiam is a Malaysian eatery that is known for its flaky roti canai and tender Hainan chicken rice. We reserved out spot in the waitlist about an hour prior to the time we arrived at Ipoh Kopitiam. We were the 32nd on the waitlist when we reserved our spot. However, by the time we arrived, we were the 6th on the waitlist and we only waited for about 10 minutes. This means that Ipoh Kopitiam is a very popular restaurant located in Alhambra, in the same plaza as Happy Lemon. Parking can be found behind the building and underneath the building. The interior of the restaurant is modern and our food were served very quickly, approximately five minutes. We ordered the Singapore Style Hainan Chicken Rice, Nasi Lemak with Rendang Curry Beef, Roti Canai, and Stir Fried Flat Noodles. The Hainan Chicken was very tender and juicy, and I liked dipping the chicken into the spicy sauce. The Roti Canai was very flaky that it can easily be ripped and dipped into the side sauce. The Nasi Lemak with Rendang Curry Beef was amazing! I loved how the beef was served with several different sides. Lastly, the stir fried flat noodles was delicious, since they included multiple protein in the noodles. I haven't had Malaysian food in a while, so trying Malaysian food this time was really fun! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Malaysian food! read more

I ordered the Singapore Laksa Curry Noodle Soup, Hainan Chicken Rice, Stir Fried Flat Noodles with Gravy Sauce, and Kaya Toast. These were all very good with great flavors and high quality ingredients. The broth in this laksa achieves the right flavors, has a good degree of coconut aroma, and is probably the best tasting laksa broth in SGV right now. The Stir Fried Flat Noodles had really good flavor (the gravy was very tasty) and noodle texture but portions for this were kind of small. This is probably just my personal opinion but the Kaya Toast is amazing and has a perfect level of sweetness (basically it's no ordinary toast). read more

this place always has a line out the door and i was finally able to try it after seeing the hype. i will forever be wondering what the hype was about because this place is not worth it the food was ok and the service was even more mediocre. it took only a few minutes for the hainan chicken to arrive but 25 minutes for the noodle soup to arrive. halfway through, we asked the server to check on the noodle soup. then we saw the server walk to other tables and not even check on the food? we also had to flag down waiters who were just standing around for more water and napkins ~Food~ singapore curry laksa noodle soup 5/10 just ok.. it has a lot of seasoning but still felt bland? had to add the red sauce from the hainan chicken to make it taste better singapore style hainan chicken rice 7/10 solid hainan chicken with flavorful sauce but the portion was so small it was only a few bites worth... ~Service: subpar ~Parking: parking lot behind restaurant read more
