Everything in Ipoh Kopitiam is good. But sadly the roasted chicken is not roasted chicken rice as per Malaysian roasted chicken rice standard. Their to roasted chicken rice is more like smoked chicken rice. I was so disappointed and almost wanted to return my portion but then showed grace. Hope Ipoh Kopitiam will look into this matter seriously. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam has been on my food list to try for a while now. I still have not been to their original location in Alhambra. When I found out they have an abbreviated version at The Shops at Santa Anita food court in Arcadia, I said cool! Perfect location at a food court. An abundance of shared community seating inside. Parking lot is huge, but weekends can get very crowded. If you want to snatch a parking spot closer to the mall, come early. Menu has selective Malaysian and Singaporean rice dishes, bakery treats, appetizers, and beverages. Two self-order kiosks are available. Lady staff members were friendly and helpful. Order was ready within reasonable time. I wanted to try their most popular dishes. Got 4 food items and 1 drink. Every single food item was so very delicious. Drink was okay. *Curry Fish Balls - very good spice in the curry, bouncy good size fish balls, great portion for the price *Hong Kong Style Bun with Butter (2) - sweet crunchy cookie crust was fantastic, butter bread was soft, just delish *Roti Canai with Chicken Curry - surprisingly tasty and flavorful, chicken was super tender and moist, curry had the perfect level of spice, roti sauce was smooth and deliciously drinkable, roti canai flatbread was light and fluffy (it came with 2 pieces, it needed one more piece to be golden), MUST GET AGAIN! *Singapore Style Hainan Chicken Rice - I'm not a big hainan chicken rice fan, but this one will make me become one... chicken was moist, amazingly delicious rice was cooked in savory and flavorful broth (I gobbled it up in a jiffy), soy sauce + chili sauce + ginger sauce were wonderful condiments to the dish, CAN'T WAIT TO EAT IT AGAIN! *Malaysia Milk Tea - add a drink to any dish for $3.00 more. What a deal! Tea flavor was slightly on the bitter side, but overall still a decent milk tea drink. Highly recommend! I am a big fan of Ipoh Kopitiam now. I can't wait to try their original location. I will make it happen soon. In the meantime, their Arcadia location is closer to me and will suffice for now. Thanks Ipoh for bringing your amazing dishes and unique flavors towards the east side of So Cal! read more

Ipoh Kopitiam has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Malaysian comfort food. We ordered the Hainan chicken rice and the BBQ pork rice, and both were excellent. The Hainan chicken was incredibly tender and juicy with silky skin, and the fragrant chicken rice paired perfectly with the ginger sauce and chili. The BBQ pork (char siu) was the standout for me--it had a beautiful caramelized glaze with just the right balance of sweet and savory, and the edges had that delicious smoky char. Every bite was flavorful without being overly sweet. The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and everything tasted authentic. Even something as simple as the rice was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. It's in a food court and everything is self-serve. read more

This ipoh is in the mall food court. I think they don't have the extensive menu. But they have pretty solid, core options. The hubby got nasi lemak with beef rendang. He loved it. He's so happy there is actual good food in the mall. He doesn't love mall food. The quality is always superb. Even the boiled egg is sliced to perfection. The cucumber is fresh and crisp. The toddler loved it. They serve it in to-go container. Done pretty fast. read more

I prefer the other location more. At this location, you order from a kiosk and wait for them to message you when the order is ready. I got hainan chicken rice and requested for dark meat only but it was half and half. Not sure if they read the requests or not since it through a kiosk. Rice was on the drier side so i had to soak it in sauce but it was still edible. Wait wasnt long either. The iced tea taste like brisk. read more

Pretty cool to see an Ipoh Kopitiam in the Shops Mall. It wasn't too crowded when I arrived at 6 PM on a Tuesday, and the food came out pretty quickly. The food was good, but I also felt like it wasn't anything particularly special. I ended up getting the Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang, and the portion was a bit lacking, especially for the price. It came with only about two pieces of beef and some potatoes. There was a lot of rice, and overall it felt like I was eating mostly rice with some sauce. I was still a bit hungry afterward as well. Overall, it was decent, and I'm glad I got to try the food court version. read more

I have not been to the other location but this has been my first experience in SoCal with Malaysian cuisine. All the items we ordered were very flavorful. Everything seemed pretty fresh and was hot when we received them. Located in the food court so there's not much to say in regard to service and the ambiance but the food itself is worth going for and would be a good meal after a stroll in the mall. read more

I heard about this place from a real Malaysian person and was pleasantly surprised to find that they have a place in the mall food court. There wasn't a line so I walked up and immediately ordered from the touch screen kiosk. The food didn't take a long time to come out and they wrapped it in a plastic bag even though I ate it there but there was no way for them to know that. I found a table in the extensive food court area and unwrapped the bag. The utensils were conveniently in the bag. There was plenty of sauce and if I were to do it again, I would have ordered a drink. Spicy! But delicious. I look forward to trying other menu items. It's convenient that they're in the mall so you don't have to go to their actual restaurant if you're in the area. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam has officially opened at Santa Anita Mall, and the food court format makes it more convenient than ever. Service is quick, everything comes packed in to-go containers, and it's easy to grab a meal while shopping. The portions and flavors are still very reminiscent of the original Alhambra location. The Beef Rendang is tender and rich and fragrant with spices, while the Grilled Chicken is flavorful with a nice charred finish. My favorite part of any Malaysian rice plate is always the Sambal Ikan Bilis, and this one delivers the perfect balance of spicy heat and savory umami from the anchovies. The only downside is that the menu has been significantly streamlined for the food court setting, so some of my favorites--like the Laksa and other soup noodle dishes--aren't available. That said, it's still great to have a solid Malaysian option in the mall, especially one that feels a little healthier than many of the other food court choices. Fast service, satisfying flavors, and a welcome addition to Santa Anita's dining lineup. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam - Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang Malaysian Style Grilled Chicken Rice - Malaysian Near Me - Arcadia, California

Parking: Ipoh Kopitiam is located in the food court of the Santa Anita Westfield. Parking usually gets difficult around noon. Interior: It is located in the food court of the mall so it is extremely noisy. The tables are usually sticky from whoever was there previously and you may or may not be able to find a seat. Service: There were two kiosks where you can place the order and someone will call your number once your order is ready. Text notifications is also available. Food: I am not sure if I am imagining it but I think there are fewer options available at this location. It would make sense since it is not an actual sit down restaurant. I am not quite sure if the portions are the same either since everything is packaged in takeout containers. My roti canai was mushy despite the fact that I ate it also immediately at the food court. The rest of the food tasted similar to the original but something just felt off. I think I will stick to eating at their original location. read more

We come here for couple times now. Their black hair pork rice is very sweet and with lots of fat. I am hoping if you can adjust the sauce and make it not as sweet. For the pork, I always try to ask them to give me less fatty part of the pork. They usually know and give me less fatty part. The service is fast even there is a line. It is located at the Arcadia food court. Very easy to find a table and chairs. But if possible, I still prefer the one in Alhambra, read more

Ipoh Kopitiam was heavily pushed on IG for their Michelin. Did it live up to the hype? It was decent. The appetizer was a good indication of the cuisine! The Roti was nice crispy and fresh. The chicken Curry was a piece of chicken with curry. Overall, the curries were super flavorful. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam - Roasted chicken - Malaysian Near Me - Arcadia, California

This is a relatively new food court restaurant at the Santa Anita Shopping Center. For mall food it is delicious, but I really would like to order from a person, rather than a computer. We had the Singapore Style Hainanese Chicken Rice and Signature BBQ Pork Char Siu Rice. Although this is not a sit-down restaurant the food is outstanding! However, their Pork Char Siu had small bones that are within the meat and caused my grandson to pull the bone from his mouth. I would caution toddlers from eating here, as it's more grownup food than for children. read more

I stopped by this location because the main location closes on Wednesdays. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed with this locations quality. I ordered the Hainan chicken rice and while the portion sizes are identical to the main store for takeout, the quality is definitely a huge difference. The chicken was very tough and was a lot fattier than what I'm used to expecting from Ipoh's main store. I don't think I'll be back to this location for a while and would much prefer the main store with their larger selection and better quality. read more

I finally got to try this hyped spot on a Saturday without a crazy line. It's got a cute small stall area for a mall court food spot. I liked the milo decor & it made me get the drink There's not much service involved since it's mostly kiosk for self order. Only time there's interaction is picking up your food. I wish I asked for more napkins from the get go. The curry with the fresh naan tastes absolutely heavenly. The Hainan chicken was not bad, probably a 7.5/10 for me since there's many Hainan chicken spots around this area. The drink is a bit expensive for what it is, but cute! read more

This is their second location in LA. This venue is at the Shops in Santa Anita's food court. The food is pretty much the same as their main restaurant in Alhambra but with a smaller menu. We got the Hainan chicken rice and it was delicious. The portion could have been a little bigger. We also got the spicy beef rendang with roti. The roti was buttery, flaky and divine. So was the rendang sauce and the beef was very tender. This is also a small dish, portion wise. I got the Malaysian coffee and that was the only negative. It was awful. It was bitter and tasted burnt. I would not recommend it. read more

I'm a fan of Ipoh Kopitiam, so when I found out they opened another location at The Shops at Santa Anita, I was eager to try it. I stopped by last week hoping to order the laksa, but once I arrived, I realized they don't offer it at this location due to mall limitations. I was a little disappointed and decided to eat somewhere else instead. Yesterday, I came back with friends to introduce them to Malaysian food. We all ordered the nasi lemak with curry chicken, a classic traditional dish that is always satisfying. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and we'll definitely be back again in the future. read more

Not sure about the mixed ratings here on the Arcadia food court Ipoh. First off, it's awesome we can get Hainan Chicken at a mall in LA now haha. Second it was juicy, moist and good flavor- as good as the original location. Thirdly, my order came out fairly fast- we just had to get to the initial soft opening hurdles and boom- fast food people. Fourth- you can get it for around $15 bucks, that's so reasonable in this economy! We got the charsiu rice too and it was good. Lastly, my only other thought is I wish I had more chicken. read more

If this is your first time at an Ipoh establishment, do not try this spot before the sit down restaurant in Alhambra. You'll get the real experience there. This one is located inside Santa Anita mall food court. It is pretty much what you expect from food court takeout food. There's a self service kiosk where you select your items and pay. We came on a Monday and glad there was no wait bc I've passed by recently and there was a line, I would not line up and wait to eat this for the price and presentation. Their chicken rice is good but it's not like wow I must come here specifically for it. There's so many other places to get chicken rice nowadays. I really dislike how greasy oily my hands were by the time I opened up all the sauces inside the takeout box. read more

This Malaysia eatery inside the Santa Anita mall has to be one of the best places to eat at the mall. I'll drive 30 miles again for this experience! This mall has to be the most well-kept malls in Los Angeles county and also has the best options for food around it and inside of it. At Ipoh Kopitiam I ordered their famous Hinanese Chicken Rice, their Pineapple Bun for dessert, and a Malaysian Milk Tea with a bit of sugar to walk around with while I was shopping. The gentleman who helped me at the register was warm and smiled frequently. I enjoyed my interaction with him while he was explaining the menu. I'll be back with the rest of my family in two weeks. I can't wait to spend a whole day with them at this mall and then end our visit at here for some delicious food. read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 02/08/26 for the first time during lunch with my mom. This place is FINALLY open! The OG location in Alhambra is bigger than this place. Please be aware that this mall location's menu is limited (i.e., no noodles, just rice). When we ordered, there was no line; however line started getting longer soon after. Ordered the following: - 1 Singapore Style Hainan Chicken Rice = $15.90 - 1 Rendang = $15.90 SUBTOTAL = $31.80 TAX = $3.34 OVERALL TOTAL = $35.14 The portions were huge and we took our meals to go. If you are looking for an authentic, Malaysian-style foodie experience with an extensive menu options of entrees, drinks, and desserts, then this mall location is not your ideal place. You would have to go to the one in Alhambra. read more

I've dined at the sit-down location in Alhambra before, and since this one is in a food court, you won't get quite the same experience. I ordered the Hainan chicken rice. The flavor was good, but the rice-to-chicken ratio was way off. I literally still had a bowl full of rice left after finishing all the chicken. The roti pancake was also very small, which felt a bit disappointing. I saved the kaya toast for breakfast the next day and it was just okay. Several items on the menu were also unavailable during our visit. Overall, it's still a decent place to try, but I would recommend going to the Alhambra location first so you can experience the full version, and then come here if you're looking for a quick express option. read more

I've heard good things about this spot and decided to see what the hype was all about. Located at the malls food court. Kiosk are available for you to order. I went with the curry chicken and hainanese chicken rice; DEFINETLY recommend the curry chicken; it's flavorful and good portion size; a tip: grab some banh mi/bread instead of rice. It'll be so much better dipping! Hainanese chicken rice was OK. Nothing special about it. I wished the cucumbers were pickled. Wanted to order the roast chicken rice but didn't know it was not yet available; hopefully soon! Overall, definitely worth a try and a nice addition to the food court. read more

Got the chicken curry nasi lemak and beef rendang nasi lemak. I haven't tried their Alhambra location so I can't say if it tastes the same but based on my own experiences eating these types of food it was extremely disappointing. Both dishes come with cucumbers, sambal, egg, peanuts and rice. The peanuts are very crunchy and delicious. The chicken curry tasted better than the beef rendang. Both are very mild in taste and not spicy. The chicken is well marinated. It comes with a drum and what seems like half a thigh. Curry taste could be stronger. The rendang was not good. The spices used aren't strong enough and is too bland. Meat could have been cooked longer as some parts were still tough. The portion is ok. The worst part of everything was the rice. The coconut taste was so bland. It was also very dry and the rice is all broken up. I don't know if this is how their rice is supposed to be but it seems very uncommon to use broken rice for these type of dishes. It doesn't go well with the meat at all. read more

01/15/2026 There seems to be a crowd in front and all around the counter area. People are checking on their orders. As I browse through the menu on the screen, there are already items that are sold out. Does that mean things are shipped in instead of made here? I asked a lady checking on her order saying she ordered 20 minutes ago. This is currently soft opening with hours from 11am-8pm. I am still waiting for my order of Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang. read more

I never able to try it in their main store in Alhambra. So I was very excited to hear this new store opened in the Arcadia mall food court. I am well aware of the limited menu and the food court situation. So I was not expected any service etc. So, just review the food. The food that we ordered is really greatly below mid. We ordered the famous Hainan chicken rice and also the toast and the Malaysia cha Siu rice. The deboned hainan chicken doesn't look like the freshest that we can see. And we found couple pieces of small bones while eating it. A big no no for any deboned meat. It could just crush the teeth. And the cha Siu rice with egg is simply terrible!! The meat is all fatty and overly sweet. I count it. I can't find one piece of meat that contain more than 1/2 lean meat!! While fatty cha Siu is a treat, but not THAT FATTY. The dark soy sauce is overly sweet and the egg is just not appealing. And the toast that we got.... With that like jam inside and charged $4.5.... Well, definitely not going back. The wait is not too bad. Waited about 15 minutes on a busy Sunday night. Just the food is really not worth the hype. read more

Tried the Hainan chicken rice here and... it was just ok. The chicken was tender enough, but I really wish they used more dark meat or at least offered the option. What I got leaned pretty heavy on the lighter cuts, which made the whole dish feel a little flat. For $18 and "takeout" only, the presentation wasn't great. If you're takeout-only, the box is literally the first impression, so it should look a bit more put together. Instead, it felt like everything was dropped in quickly and hoped for the best. And the sauces... opening those little oily containers and trying to pour them over the chicken felt like something you wouldn't want to pay much for. Either dress the dish for me or give me an easier way to dip it...? My hands were way too oily by the end. Other places do the same dish for around $15 with better portions and presentation, so this was hard to justify. Service was also rough. It's a self-kiosk setup, which is totally fine, but when our order was ready, getting staff attention took forever. They called out my order, but I stood there for almost ten minutes trying to get someone to actually hand it to me. Honestly, I think their other location might be the better move since you can actually sit down and the whole experience seems smoother. I'd try that one before judging the whole brand. read more

It's located in the food court of the Arcadia mall. You order off their kiosk then pickup food. We tried the HK style bun with thick butter, roti with chicken curry and hainanese chicken. The bun was nice and flaky but it kinda felt like biting into a stick of butter, not quite my taste. The roti bread was a good texture and good with the curry. The hainanese chicken was tasty but I liked their ginger dipping sauce versus the red chili one. read more

Came here out of sheer curiousity on my food court tour. Brand new spot inside of the Arcadia mall. It's Malaysian cuisine from a particular region that has influences of Cantonese and Indian. So the menu will have some familiarity if you've eaten from both. Ordering is through touch screen kiosks. Got the beef rendang that came with rice, and one soda. Total was around 18 bucks, which isn't too bad for what you're getting. I was expecting to get my meal on a plate and a soda with ice (when I ordered it on the kiosk, there were adjustments for amount ice), but the food came in plastic take-home containers. And the soda in a can. Lol. Really strange. If you're at a food court, there's a reasonable expectation that you will be eating in said court. But they didn't provide any plates or bowls. Ending up eating the stuff at home. As for the food, it was just OK. The beef was somewhat tender and had a plenty of heat. Portions were enough for two as well. So it was probably worth the price. Keep in mind, though, that everything here is most likely pre-made and they just heat and box up your order to go. It has to be as nobody has time to wait 20 minutes at a food court with dishes like these that certainly take time to make. At any rate, I did see roti on the menu. Who doesn't like roti? Still though, I just can't get past whether or not this is a takeout spot or an actual food court restaurant. Probably won't be back until they solve their identity crisis. read more

Came here for dinner with family and ordered the Beef Rendang w/ Steamed Rice (15.90), Curry Chicken w/ Steamed Rice (14.90), Singapore Style Hainanese Chicken Rice (15.90), and the Nasi Lemak w/ Beef Rendang. They have kiosk screens to self order which is convenient. We waited around 20-30 minutes for our food because they ran out of steamed rice and asked if we could replace with the chicken rice. The dishes were all packed in to-go containers even though we were eating in the food court. The food portions were on the smaller side and they tasted just okay. Nothing special. Also most were mildly spicy but it did make my tongue burn as someone who can't eat much spice. I don't think I would come back. read more

Refer to pictures * Decided to try this out since people spoke highly about it especially their hainan chicken. - easy to find location with ample seats and table around, but weekends may be a different story since it's a food court. - food was good, but can't say it's spectacular. Might have to try their other menus next time - limited menu. I don't expect them to have a big menu since it's a new restaurant, but hopefully they offer more soon. - price range of $15-18 can be tough for hainan chicken. Price point isn't attractive for a to-go place. - service is SO SO, it was just me a KIOSK and people standing behind, - overall, still worth the try. Hope they have more menus next time . read more

We came for dinner on a Wednesday night and they were still pretty busy. There are two kiosks to order from. Located in a food court, so it can be loud in the background and there's plenty of seating. Wait time was about 30 min. They ran out of steamed rice so we got chicken rice to replace them all. They package the food all in takeout containers with no napkin dispensers at the counter. You can ask for water though. We tried 4 dishes on their menu and they were all average. The portions lean on the smaller side for the price ($15-16 each). I think their other location tastes better. read more

Smaller menu than the actual restaurant but that's to be expected for a food court takeout joint version. Very busy during soft opening. No special pricing or discount for soft opening. Food was very delicious, fresh and hot. Hainan chicken was so good. Chicken was a mix of dark and white meat, tender, juicy. Rice was flavorful. Sauces were good. Roti Canai was sooo flaky, airy and thin. Just as good as the restaurant! Curry sauce was decadent. Milk teas and coffees remind me of HK style Pineapple bun was moist and lightly sweet on top. Generous butter slab. Pros: -super delicious high quality food -made fresh to order -drinks are good - they'll honor no ice -less sweet options for drinks -free parking at the mall -self seating -order is on the pad Cons: -smaller main entree menu items. -Only 3 options read more

Finally, I had the chance to try this location and avoid the opening crowd. This Ipoh location is inside the mall's food court. So, it is not too hard to find parking. However, it may be hard to find a place to sit during busy hours. Now, to the restaurant itself. It uses a grill to make the kaya toast, which I found is interesting. This location doesn't have any noodles dishes. It only has rice dishes, drinks, and dessert. The employees were trying their best but it took a long time to get your order. I waited around 36 minutes for a simple Hainan chicken rice dish which it took around ten minutes at its Alhambra location. So, if you are in a hurry, you may want to come the other time. Overall, the dish tasted the same, and nothing was out of the ordinary. read more
