It's located in the food court at the Santa Anita Mall. It's a long line even at 2pm, and you order on a kiosk and wait for your order with about 20 other folks. I waited for about 50 mins for my order, chicken rice, Kaya toast with butter and a milk tea, and the bill came out to be $28.60. I did see my chicken rice sitting at the counter for about 25 mins waiting for the other items in my order so by the time I got it, it is was nearly cold. The pricing isn't toooo bad, although quality of food isn't quite up to par with their main location but this is prob not accurate considering the food was cold but I was also super hungry. I must say though I'm glad they kept the menu short because this wait could definitely be a deterrence from a revisit so I hope they streamline their food prep process. read more

This review is long overdue! As loyal customers since the Alhambra location had a soft opening (actually, even before they had a physical store), we were beyond excited for their second spot and drove in from West LA to catch the soft opening. Located in the first-floor food court of the Santa Anita Mall, the new location offers plenty of seating and convenient two easy-to-use kiosks for ordering. We loved the decor--it really nailed the nostalgic vibe of a traditional Malaysian kopitiam. The selection is a bit smaller than their Alhambra location, but they still have all the classics (White/black coffee, milk tea, Kaya Toast, Roti Canai, Hainan Chicken Rice, Nasi Lemak, Pandan cake, etc) are available. They hadn't started serving roast chicken rice and BBQ Pork Char Siu during our visit on 1/16, but the staff mentioned those are coming soon. Even with a lunch rush, the 30-minute wait flew by thanks to their text notification system, which let us shop while we waited. The food quality is just as excellent as the Alhambra location. Can't wait to go back for their BBQ pork and roast chicken soon! read more

Not my first time eating at Ipoh. But first time at this food court location.Ordered two of their popular meals, Hainan Chicken and Rendang Beef rice. Both are pretty good. But I think the portion of the meat for the beef rice could be a bit more. In these smaller take out boxes, I feel like for their pricing it can have more portion. But I am glad they open a location here! It's always nice to have more variety of food choices at the food court! I also like they have a self ordering process. It's more advanced and up to date. I would like to try their Chinese bbq pork rice next time! read more

A friend of us went to Ipoh at the Arcadia mall yesterday. He ordered the hainan chicken and when he placed the order, he asked if they can cook the chicken for a few more minutes to make sure it is fully cooked. The person who took order said, "we need to charge $2.50 more for doing additional cooking of the chicken. ". Since when restaurant charge additional for fully cook the food? If I go to the steakhouse, do I need to pay more for asking my steak to be fully cooked? Should I take the half cooked chicken to the health department? read more

I tried their Rendang beef today. It was very good. I was impressed by their quality. I have been to their Alhambra location before, first time at this one. I look forward to coming back here read more

So waited in line to see the hype and it was good. Got the HK bun, Singapore style hainan chicken with mala milk tea. Service was pretty fast but like a lot of other reviews, half the menu was blocked off on the digital ordering screen. The food was pretty tasty but much better when warm. I ate half there and half at home so it's much better fresh and warm. The only disappointment was the Malaysian milk tea. Not what I was expecting and would not recommend for ppl for are used to Taiwanese style milk tea. read more

The roti canai was good as expected but the nasi lemak with beef was just ok. Portion could have been bigger too. If you like roti def get it from here but I would skip on the entrees personally read more

I'm not sure why this location has such low reviews. It obviously won't taste as good as the original location but I think for food court food it was super delicious. Their hainan chicken rice is one of my favorites and the roti with chicken curry was also super flavorful. The sauces for the chicken rice were amazing and I love how they debone all the chicken. The chicken is juicy and tender. The rice was cooked perfectly. The chicken in the curry was a little overcooked but it was still good overall. read more

I wet to get the signature bbq pork rice. I honestly think the flavor fits what I love for bbq. It's on the sweet side but not too sweet or overtaking the flavor. Service is fast and the lady is nice. Overall it's clean at the counter. During the dinner busy time , I think 5-10 min is quick. I would come back for more for sure. read more

For a food court location they actually do a great job. We had Singapore style Hainan chicken and it was good. The service was polite, patient and considerate which we appreciated. There wasn't any ambiance as it was part of the food court but it was definitely worth having this addition to this area. read more

Singaporeans and Malaysians rejoice. We now have an option at the food court here in Arcadia. Tastes just like you are in Singapore but without the long ride on SQ35. My chicken curry came with only chicken and rice. I thought this dish normally had a few chunks of potato. I'm not complaining. read more

Well, the biggest problem is wait time. It's great they have a self service to order which puts less pressure for people to order multiple items. However the wait was longgggggg. I went twice on two different days. One day we went around 11:30. No line but still long wait for food. I walked all the way to Coffee Bean, ordered and waited for me coffee and walk back and still waited for another 15 min. That's a problem with fast food not being fast food another time I went around 12:30 peak time. There was a line to order and the wait time for food is even longer. I'll let that go because it's new, they need time to get used to it. Menu- they have no more than a few items on the menu. And 1/3 are not available. Food- meh. Flavor is there. Chicken rice is super tender but rice was under cooked. Curry was tasty but the beef was tender and also chewy at the same time. Toast was soggy. If you're desperate for something different then pray they will get better because right now it's not worth it unless you're so done with the other choices read more

Ordered Hainan chicken rice, nasi lemak with beef and Roti Canai. they all taste so good but Hainan chicken is definitely my favorite. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam's roti canai was legit. Crispy flaky layers, hot off the griddle, curry dip had the right kick. Hainanese chicken rice was solid too: tender chicken, fragrant rice, sauces on point. Really hit the spot. Took me straight back to those old Singapore kopitiam mornings I still miss. The smell of the place, the clatter, just sitting there with exactly this food. Nothing here quite fills that gap. If you're after real Malaysian comfort in LA, this spot does it right. Go try it. read more

Very exciting they opened up a second location in the Mall. If you are craving for Authentic Malaysian food, you gotta check it out! The menu is limited compare to the Alhambra sit down version! All rice, bakery treats, and appetizers. No noodles or noodle soup. So that was a let down. It was my first time here. So I was very excited to order the Char Siu Rice. But I was pretty disappointed the most popular entrees were already sold out during dinner time. There are 2 kiosks to order from. The line wasn't too bad and they serve you pretty quick. I ordered the Kaya toast with Butter. Not sure why they charge $1 more just to have butter in my toast! Next time I'm just going to order without butter for $4.50. I also ordered the Beef Rendang but they didn't give you enough sauce and the beef wasn't tender. It was disappointing but I will try to come back again and hope the Char Siu rice or the roast chicken rice is available! But I hear the Hainan Chicken rice with their special sauce is pretty authentic. Friends from lived in Singapore said it's pretty legit and authentic!!! But hopefully I will have a better experience next time! read more

Any food enthusiast who lives in the SGV knows how busy the original location of Ipoh Kopitiam can be. Parking stinks there as well so we rarely make the trek out there. But now, their new spot in the Santa Anita Mall (yes I still call it that) alleviates most of those concerns, well, hopefully it will in the future. For now, the hype is high and they are still in soft opening mode so the lines and wait can be brutal. We went during an off hour and the food still took over 20 minutes to receive. But more importantly, how was the food? Well, first off they were "sold out" of many of their main items so we were sort of relegated to order the curry chicken and beef rendang. Both were solid, probably not quite as good as the main restaurant, but that's to be expected under the circumstances. The roti was great and it came with a small bowl of curry sauce which actually tasted better than the curry that came along with the chicken. They should make the Kaya toast right before they send the order out so it can be warm and crispy when received. But all in all the food was great and it elevates the food court, which seems like Westfield's plan since all the newer additions there are a bit more ambitious than the usual. The ambiance has gone from typical mall chain fare to burgeoning major food hall. read more

Authentic Malaysian food. I love eating Nasi Lemak, Ipoh made good sambal and curry chicken. Another personal favorite is kaya toast and hot milk tea. I am glad they expand their business opening up more locations, please come to Irvine someday! read more

Slowest food to get ever. Service is nonexistent-they extend the glass all the way across with no room to put down anything when ordering and with only 2 kiosks opening where the same space you pick up your food and order your food. Worst is that when your food is ready, they don't bother to send you a message but it will send you a receipt. If you can't hear your number, you simply get skip-not like they have a mic anyway so you can't hear them. If you have kids, stay away. Long wait and kids can get impatient-so is the customers too wanting to know what they are at with the order and reaching over the people trying to order the kiosk. Food is good but not worth the struggle. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam - Hainan Chicken - Malaysian Near Me - Arcadia, California

Got the nasi lemak with curry chicken. Flavor was good but the container it comes in is so thoughtless?? Everything is packed in and there's little curry. How do I pick apart the chicken off the bones when the container is so small ?? And I tried doing that but then my rice ended up flying everywhere. I ended up having to pick apart my chicken on the lid lol. If the container was bigger and/or there was a more efficient way for me to eat the food, I'd come back and give a higher rating, but the way the food was packed ruined it for me tbh. I'd rather go to Borneo or Ipoh's actual store front. read more

The roti is absolutely delicious. The curry sauce that came with it was really tasty and well-balanced. I got the roti with the beef. The beef was OK. Also got the roasted chicken. It was just solid. It wasn't dry. I had a subtle taste to it and the sauces that came with it were good. I'm coming back for the roti. read more

Their Alhambra location was always busy. So we thought since it's at the mall, we could shop at the neighboring 99 Ranch or at the IKEA to reduce the agonizing wait. It worked. On the 4th day of their soft open, the team seemed to have responded to constructive logistical comments from previous customers. Once we placed our order on one of the 2 kiosks, we were notified by text on the number we provided at check out. The wait for 3 rice dishes was about 20 minutes. We could've been notified sooner if customers didn't wave down the crew on their order status. One didn't realize the phone number entered before final payment would be how they would be notified. I'm not sure if they ordered enough ingredients or if a plethora of orders came in the first hour, but a couple of items, namely the Malaysian roast chicken, were no longer available. (We placed our order at noon) We ordered: Nasi Lemak w/ beef; Curry chicken; Hainanese chicken. All the items were neatly packed. My mom was impressed the packaging of the condiments for the Hainan chicken. It was upscale in style and presentation for a "takeout joint" out. Plastic containers didn't ruin the taste or texture, either. This was an excellent move for them to open a branch at The Shops at Santa Anita. read more

Obsessed with their kaya + cold butter toast and the Hainanese chicken rice -- the chicken was unbelievably tender! And if you're into spicy food, don't skip the nasi lemak. It's a must-try Malaysian classic! read more

The roti with curry was really tasty, also got the beef rendang and Hainanese chicken. Will definitely be going back.

Goods are generally better now compared to few years ago. Service is fast and no wait time during weekdays

The food portion was totally not worth my money. I ordered a curry chicken rice.The cost was about $15. However, look at the picture,there were only two pieces of chicken! Both have a big piece of bone inside. They hardly have any meat on them. It's a self service place. The containers are all plastic, not environmental friendly. read more

Ipoh Kopitiam - Top: Burnt Bbq pork rice Bottom: curry chicken with coconut rice - Malaysian Near Me - Arcadia, California

I was in the area and decided to give this place another try. The menu is similar to the one in Alhambra but with limited selections. The food was still mediocre. Don't be fool by the crowds. Do yourself a favor and find a Hong Kong style Cafe. I'm sure there are plenty in the area that serves way better food than this. Save your time and money. read more

My new favorite place to eat at the Santa Anita mall. Had the beef curry (rendang?); large chunks of tender beef in yummy curry, and not over-salted like most mall food. Also had curry fish balls, also yummy. I will def return. read more

Experience: This place has no menu. You simply get in line and order at a kiosk. Both sides of the line were packed with people waiting, and it wasn't even clear where the line started. Many items on the menu were already sold out. For main dish, all I could get was the Hainan chicken and beef rendang. Food: 1. Hainan Chicken The chicken tasted like it was about to go bad. I mean, it was still edible and wouldn't cause any harm, but it was not enjoyable. The chicken was also overcooked, white meat was on the dry side, while the dark meat was slightly better. The rice was not fully cooked, about 90% at best; the center was still hard. Both the chicken and rice lacked flavor, so you had to rely heavily on the sauces. I would give this 1/5 stars. 2. Beef Rendang This was surprisingly much better than the chicken. The pros: it had a deep, rich flavor, very aromatic. The cons: it was a bit too salty, and the beef was inconsistently cooked. Some pieces were juicy and tender, while others were hard and dry. Overall, I would give this 3.5/5 stars. I'll give this place another shot after the soft opening and see if anything improves. read more

I just had Hainanese chicken rice, and it was much worse than the Alhambra store. The rice, in particular, didn't taste like rice and the texture was terrible. I'm very suspicious. Is it made with artificial rice? read more

Have been a long loyal customer but this one at Acadia Mall location is not happening! Hainan chicken is hard and dry, it's over cooked and meat are harder to chew, not tender at all like the location in Alhambra. They need to maintain their quality like the original store and keep their legacy . Very disappointed. read more

The beef rendang is as good as any higher end Southeast Asian restaurant! The beef is super soft. The Nasi Lemak is so soft that you have to be careful you don't chip your teeth on the bones that have come apart. The sauce is also amazing and flavorful! read more

the newly-named 4-time michilin bib gourmand ipoh kopitiam has opened at shops at santa anita at last! located in the arcadia mall's food court, it features the same menu as its alhambra flagship store. you order at one of the two self-service kiosks and they call your number when your food is ready which was pretty fast. food is prepared in the kitchen in the back, but you can watch them make the drinks over the counter in front. food is served to-go in plastic takeout containers because it's a food court, but the taste is consistent. i got the nasi lemak with beef rendang, but the singaporean-style hainan yellow chicken rice and curry chicken over steamed rice are also standout dishes. i think i'd still go to alhambra for a more comfortable sit-down service atmosphere and come here if i'm in the area or shopping at the mall. read more

Roti is pretty good. Tiny portions Got the Roti with beef. It came with 2 pieces of beef. And only one piece was chewable. Curry was a little bit bitter. Saw a bunch of people standing around waiting for their food. Lady won't call your name or number when your order is ready. She will Bring it from back counter to front counter. Then you just guess if it's your order and ask her if it is yours. Or just keep waiting till you realize she won't call you. read more

Disappointed in the experience. Seems microwave food served in small plastic to go container way to small to enjoy and properly eat the food. The rice is cover with sliced eggs and past due cucumbers. The chicken is one leg and a big thigh. The to go box makes it messy and difficult to eat the curry sauce. read more

their food is no questions, as good as their Alhambra location. However, they should really find people who knows how to serve and speak in a more courteous way.
