    Inside

    3.5 *** rounded up to 4 **** The restaurant is much bigger than it looks like from the outside. Parking was not an issue with plenty of spaces available in the plaza. The ambiance inside was dim and I found the decor to be a bit strange; I felt like I was dining at someone's grandmas house. Service was good, the staff were eager to take our order and were helpful and polite. They also checked on us regularly without being intrusive. #MalasyanEats: ~ 10. Spicy Crispy Calamari Strips - 3.5/5 Your standard Fried Calamari. I thought the Calamari could be fired a bit longer for a better crisp. ~ 115. Mee Goreng Fried Noodle - 4/5 We opted to try something different. Indian style stir fried noodles with shrimp, tomato, bean sprouts, egg, vegetables and ground peanuts in some sort of sauce. Tasty without being overly spicy. DESSERT: ~ 170. Ice Kacang - 4/5 Ummm...this thing was much bigger than we anticipated. Not as fine as Snow or Hawaiian Shaved Ice, but very tasty. Shaved ice with red bean, sweet corn, plum seeds, jelly served with red rose syrup, and condensed milk. Not too sweet either. I did find it strange that they started putting up chairs on the tables cleaning up around 7:45 on a Sunday evening when they close at 8:30. Almost like they were giving customers a hint to leave... that was weird! I'd come back and try other items on the menu.

    Pleasant surprises around every corner at Layang Layang! Walking in the first time you won't know what to think but don't worry, never had a bad dish here. The ambiance isn't anything spectacular but the service is always quick and friendly. I don't know where the recipes come from but they feel passed down through generations. Every item is a story in taste. Love Layang Layang

    112. Chow Kueh Teow Fried Noodle
    Emily C.

    Was in search of malaysian food and came upon this place. Very packed when we went around 1pm on a sunday. Sadly they did not have the chicken and rice dish which is what we came here for. The roti was a bit too thin and flaky for my liking and wish there was a thicker curry sauce. Nasi Lemak lacked in flavor and was just mild in all tastes. Chow kueh tow was almost like pad thai and was salty.

    my in laws introduced me to this Malaysian spot, and wow their food is amazing. As someone who loves eating chinese, thai and indian food. Im shocked that I never tried Malaysian. They basically offer similar features and ways of other cuisines, so when trying their food, it felt very comforting and delicious. My favorite right now is their coffee ribs, and their migoren noodles, but all of their dishes are amazing!

    After we landed in San jose, we tried this Malaysian restaurant because we were in the mood for hainamese chicken rice. Parking: plenty free shared retail parking Reservation: just walk in. Big space for small and big group. Restrooms: singles women and men restroom. Once we were seated, we ordered: Nasi lemak Char thaw we Roti canai Kangkung blachan Overall food is ok. Roti Canada is too crispy and thin, the curry sauce just plain sauce no potato. The coconut rice on nasi lemak could be use more coconut milk. Beef is great, juicy and tender. Chaw thaw we could use more eggs and better yet, flat wide noddle instead thin thai style noddle. Service is fast and nice.

    Char Kway Teow (炒粿條). Stir fried noodle dish
    Mercy H.

    Came here on a busy Friday night around 7pm, and Layang-Layang was hopping! Despite the crowd, the service was impressively attentive and efficient. We were really pleased with how quickly our food arrived--all dishes were on our table in under 15 minutes! Our water glasses were also consistently refilled, which is always a plus. Since we weren't super hungry, we shared the Char Kway Teow and the Kangkung Belacan. The Char Kway Teow was delicious, with a good depth of flavor and sizable shrimp. The Kangkung Belacan was also satisfying; the kangkung leaves were tender, and the belacan (shrimp paste) was well-balanced and not overpowering.

    7. Satay Tofu

    Love this place with a tropical vibe, excellent attentive service, and fantastic Malaysian food!! I always have a hard time ordering because the menu is so long and has so many good options, with vegetarian options are plenty and while marked. We started with tofu satay-- crispy tofu, stuffed with cabbage and smothered in a amazing peanut sauce-- yummm!!! I ordered the sizzling princess tofu-- it arrived at the table, not sure if me or the dish was bubbling more with delight! The tofu in this dish is eggy and flavorful-- I know I can't recreate this at home so it is special. My husband enjoyed his noodles-- and we even enjoyed the leftovers a day later! Plenty of plaza parking. Good for groups. No outdoor seating. We did not have to wait at 8pm on a Saturday night.

    Malaysian food is hard to come by in the US so I was keen to try this restaurant. I ordered a Char Kwai Tiew and Roti. The Char Kwai Tiew was very good with a good "wok hei" though a little small for the price ($19.50). That said, eating out these days is expensive everywhere with inflation. The roti was good. They have an extensive menu and I'd like to come back and try their Princess tofu and which is made in house and some of their other dishes. Service was friendly and efficient.

    this was a pretty underwhelming experience. ordered the hainan chicken but it was pretty flavorless. usually i like the rice to have more flavor. sauce options weren't that good. i have had much better hainan chicken. also my chicken was sooooo boney. every bite i had to rip my chicken apart and spit out the bone. pretty disappointing. typically you would want a more meaty chicken for this type of dish.

    This was the first time I dined at Layang Layang and had a wonderful experience. The staff were so incredibly nice and checked up on us frequently. The menu is a bit daunting but I loved everything we got. The seafood chow fung, fried fish, calamari, and roti. The fried items were perfectly crispy. I brought home the leftovers for my husband to try, and although soggy, he said the flavors were great. I'm super excited to come back and try other items!

    151. Princess Tofu (Vegeterian)
    Anu P.

    I've been here twice. I'd give 3.5 stars. Service here is really nice and food comes out fast but the dishes are either super hit or super miss. It's never crowded when I've gone and there's a lot of space to sit. I got the roti canai which was really good - not too oily and curry was spicy. I actually think this was so good it could bring my review up to a 4. Must try. I also got the princess tofu (veg). This is house made egg tofu and I love egg tofu and the crispiness was done really well but I didn't like the sauce that it came with at all. I ended up just eating the tofu and not the curry/sauce. Also even at spicy the flavor was kinda off and not spicy. I've also tried the pad thai - this was fine it tasted good 4/5. I got the malaysian iced tea - it's mainly sweetened black tea with milk.. it was strong but overall just tasted like black tea, I would skip. I do like how extensive the menu is. so I would consider coming back here to try other things but unsure if I would go out of my way

    We came here on a Thursday and were seated immediately. The servers were all super attentive and friendly! This was my first time eating Malaysian food and it was yummy. My favorite two things that we ordered were the roti and the chicken/potato curry. FYI the chicken is drumsticks!

There is a nice seafood display similar to open fish markets on the wharf selling crab and assorted fish. The service is excellent. Our server was attentive and helpful. The restaurant manager stopped by to see how everything was. Build your own (petit filet and 5 oz lobster) - 4/5 You have a selection of choices of what to select on the "Build your own" selection. The base price starts off at $29.95, then you select your food options. There's an uncharged on the most popular selections like lobster and steaks. My lobster was cooked to perfection. Very tender and sweet. The filet was pretty small for the up-charge, and was slight over cooked from the medium rare I ordered. But was still tender and good. The grilled asparagus was a $4 up-charge and you only get 3 spears of asparagus. With the up-charged, my dish, the price was over $46. Lobster Roll - 5/5 The Lobster Roll was very delicious. You get some Lobster tail, but Lobster claw meat is more prominent (see pic). Still the spices along with the clarified butter made this roll very tasty and delicious. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Market Broiler.

The appetizers were amazing and the overall quality of the dishes were chef's kiss! I am giving a 4/5 since they price is expensive, would be worth it if it was an AYCE KBBQ place.

    This spot has a lot going for it: spacious interior, clean environment, and even KBBQ options but…read moreoverall, my experiences have been a bit mixed. The banchan variety is actually really good, which is a highlight for me, though the kimchi isn't my favorite. My personal go-tos are the Korean jelly (muk muchim), broccoli, tomato, and macaroni salad. I'd honestly come back just for the banchan spread. That said, for the price, the main dishes are just okay. One big plus: they serve purple rice, which I always appreciate. Service has been very hit or miss. Sometimes they're friendly and accommodating, but my last visit really threw me off. We asked for a refill on the muk muchim, and our server said they were "sold out"... but then the table next to us was immediately served it. I'd honestly rather they just say no than give an excuse like that.. it left a bad impression and made the experience feel off. A few thoughts on the dishes: * Budae Jjigae - A bit bland for my taste, heavy on kimchi and light on meats like spam, sausage, and bacon. * Galbitang - Light yet flavorful, with 3 large rib bones that had a good amount of meat. Comes with glass noodles, rice cakes, and thin egg strips * Japchae - Not complimentary here (you have to order it), but it's actually pretty good. * Seafood tofu soup - Just okay, nothing too memorable. * Galbi - Flavorful and reliable--can't go wrong, especially with purple rice. * Mul Naengmyeon - Refreshing and well done. * Seafood pancake - Crispy, not overly oily, and packed with seafood and green onions. * Bibimbap - Loved the crispy rice at the bottom, though the beef portion was a bit small. * Yukgaejang - Decent, but not as rich or flavorful as other spots. Overall, I'd say this place shines most in its banchan variety and comfortable dining space, but the inconsistency in both food and service makes it a bit harder to fully recommend

After trying the food, I definitely think they deserve more business. They offer raw marinated crab as part of their banchan, which is something I haven't seen before. Everything I tried was above average I would say. Seolleongtang was very rich, and the beef jeon had a good texture. My friend got a spicy beef tofu soup and it tasted very filling and perfect for a hangover. Nice auntie working front of house, prices are on par with other places. I believe it is a family run restaurant. Overall, seems like a place where you can order anything and you wouldn't go wrong. I look forward to coming back again.

    NO LUNCH SPECIALS! The only specials they have are combos which all comes with cold noodles (spicy…read moreor non-spicy), ranging in price of $38.95 to $39.95 Reading nearly all reviews, the score seems to be high because this Korean restaurant seems to be nearly the only one that provides raw CRAB (actual crab!) as part of their banchan (aka free with a dish order!). Only complaint... besides the japchae, every banchan is "spicy." I wish they had fish cakes, potatoes or something sweet as a different flavor profile. Or don't add that spice to the bean sprouts to keep it mellow and refreshing. Bulgogi was soooo juicy, flavorful, and not dry at all. Seems as if they put a whole onion on the bottom lol. Soft tofu soup is a must order. Hit all the craves! Tofu ratio is totally worth the price of $18.95 Loved how they provided personal metal bowls with 1 cup of rice per person (I was watching the server pour it into each bowl haha). Only one female wait staff during my time here. Attentive and ease of banchan refill (I didn't try to refill the crab but I am guessing they unlikely would do so due to cost which makes sense). Very high end, elegant casual vibes. Tons of younger population dining in. Would I come back? Yes!
