Hey. When someone orders from your restaurant maybe don't cancel 2 hours later when it is too late for them to get an alternative. So unprofessional. read more

4.5 stars Layang Layang offers a huge menu of Malaysian and Southeast Asian dishes in a spacious, casual, tropically-decorated dining room. The must-get starter was the Roti Canai, a thin, chewy, homemade flatbread served with a side of curry sauce for dipping. I also loved the Gado Gado, an Indonesian salad made of fresh vegetables including lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and jicama, topped with crispy tofu and covered with the most delectable, earthy peanut sauce as a dressing. For our mains, the Nasi Lemak was a dish of coconut rice served with a spicy Chicken Rendang and a ton of flavorful, crunchy accompaniments including spiced anchovies, peanuts, jicama, carrots, cucumbers, and a boiled egg, and this combination made for an incredibly tasty, balanced dish. The Ikan Bakar was a gorgeously-presented whole striped bass topped with a sweet and spicy red paste made of lemongrass and wrapped in a banana leaf. Finally, we had the Kang Kung Belacan, a simple sautée of ong choi and red bell peppers in a spicy shrimp paste. Overall, the food here was on point, and the service was quick and friendly. The menu prices were a bit high for the food but certainly nothing crazy for the area. read more

TLDR: Good food, quick service , lots of options and polite staff Tried Layang Layang with team mates for lunch. Good food options for everyone including vegetarians. They had a lunch special menu as well. Their roti canai was good, the side sauce was decently good not as spicy and lacked the flavor punch that the canai sauce generally has. The mains were good the noodle soup was flavorful, the meat was well cooked and juicy and overall a good experience. read more

was super disappointed with the overall service because one of the dishes was inedible (shrimp was clearly frozen and gummy, tasted awful) and the server wouldn't take the dish back. every dish we got was a miss (hainan chicken, princess tofu, the staple chicken) because it's so underseasoned. cannot emphasize enough how i'd NEVER go back because of the service + food :) read more

Layang Layang - Malaysian Near Me - Milpitas, California

Layang Layang Malaysian Cuisine is located in Milpitas. I've passed by this place many times. I've eaten at the Fremont Express location. But I finally decided to try it out. Whereas the Fremont location is fast casual and mainly take out, the Milpitas location is more dine-in style with a larger menu. Their lunch menu is similar to the Express location's entire menu. I took a seat, and I was handed a menu. The state were attentive and respectful as I placed my order. The wait was relatively short as I got my Fried Rice first, soon followed by the KangKung. The food was delicious. It was a nice change of pace. I will return to try out more of their menu. read more

Really tasty Malasyian food. This was my second time coming to eat. I ordered the coffee rub spare ribs and they were really delicious.

My friend and I came here for dinner on a Sunday evening. We were seated upon arrival. Food: My friend and I are both vegetarian, so we ordered from their extensive vegetarian menu. We ordered the following: Mee Goreng - This was good. It was sweeter than expected, but still good. Vegetarian Mango Chicken - This one was my favorite. I love the sweet and savory. Vegetarian Kung Pao Beef - The dish was good, and I would order it again. Service: Service was very quick and easy. We were seated quickly. Our server brought over our waters soon after being seated. Surprisingly, the food came out a lot faster than I thought it would given they were busy when we were there. TL;DR - great vegetarian menu with fast service read more

Not the great food. Apart from kari chicken potato and Roti Canai none of the food was good. Have to try the other poultry items and didn't expected the pad thai to be very bad. Not recommended for pad thai. But a very good tastiness to the kari chicken potato with the rice. Tsing Tao is beer is good and smooth. The sauce that comes with the Canai is very tasty and close tot he chicken curry. Parking is easy and many lots to park and walkable as well from the lots. read more

Haven't eaten at this place in awhile, but glad to know that it's still doing well after all these years! I used to frequent Layang Layang with my family growing up, and I always leave satisfied with the food. This time was no different -- the food was still tasty! But damn, those prices thoughhhh... Anyway, for a party of 10 adults, I ordered the following: 2 orders of Roti canai Sizzling beef Cereal prawn Princess tofu Crispy calamari strips Chow kway teow Sarang seafood Garlic eggplant 2 bowls of hainan rice 3 bowls of coconut rice We all left satisfied and it was just enough (with a little bit of eggplant and coconut rice left over). read more

I had such an amazing experience here, I cannot wait to go again. My friend and I ordered: - Sizzling Beef (5/5) This beef came out literally sizzling. It was splashing the delicious beef sauce, and the sparking sounds made the experience better. The dish is really flavorful, the seasoning was perfectly balanced. The meat was tender, and the bell peppers were not bitter, which is a common dislike in other beef dishes elsewhere. - Mee Goreng (5/5) This noodle dish was hitting at all the right spots. It was tangy and spicy, but not too overwhelming where the flavor was hidden. It was very similar to pad thai, but arguably better. The dish was not too oily, and the noodles had just the right amount of chew. - Coconut Rice (5/5) I love how the dish had a nice sweetness while also maintaining the fluffiness of rice. The coconut flavor was apparent but it did not conflict with any other dishes. Also, my phone was at 8% and I asked the waiter on a whim if they had a charger, and they happily took my phone and charged it for me! Customer service is great, food is great, I can't complain! read more

Stopped by Layang Layang for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! I've always passed by this spot since I frequent the other restaurants in the plaza, but I am glad that I finally got around to trying out this restaurant. My friend and I were promptly seated, and the workers were very kind and attentive during the duration of our stay. We ordered the Princess Tofu as well as the Sarang Seafood. The Princess Tofu was crispy on the outside but SO soft and silky on the inside-- truly an experience fit for a princess. Sarang Seafood was pretty good; the crispy exterior pairs wonderfully with the taro, and the seafood + veggie combo within the bowl was tasty. It's also a bit on the saltier side for those who enjoy it. Would definitely stop by again for the tofu and perhaps try other items on the menu! read more

Always a very solid place for good Malay food! Things we tried: Their Nasi Lemak (gotta add the Beef Rendang) is always good, their Kangkung Balacan, Laksa, Rojak, Kari Mee and Roti Canai of course. Their Murtabak is not bad. Princess tofu is great too! Lo Mee noodle soup is pretty authentic too! Just sad I have to drive all the way to Milpitas to eat good Malay food, the ones around San Jose just don't compare. Friendly waiters, they also make good recommendations. I'm always too full to try their desserts but heard their bur cha cha is good. read more

Been going for years and every time I go to Layang Layang we are served with the best hospitality, the service is great and the food is always amazing. My go to is always the Princess tofu but honestly anything you order will make your taste buds happy. I took my nieces and nephews here today and they never had it and they enjoyed it and will probably share their experiences with their friends who are also foodies. Thank you everyone at Layang Layang. Can't wait to return! read more

The food has no taste, its bland like cafeteria food. The noodle were overcooked and broke apart into pieces. It has to be worse tasting restaurant our family has been to in 2025.

My wife had been craving Malaysian cuisine for a long time, and we chose to dine in at Layang Layang. The service was really good. We've had Malaysian food many times before and the food here was good enough. However, something in the Mee Goreng may have gone bad because it tasted a bit off and then our stomachs bothered us through night until the next morning. The lunch we had here was the only meal we had yesterday other than some drinks. Probably not going back to this restaurant. read more

There are very few places where both my picky-Asian parents AND my kids can agree on but Layang Layang is on that list! There's something for all of their tastes and that makes me a happy Mama Bear. Dad loves their Hainan Chicken (plus a bowl of Hainan Chicken rice). Both he and my mom always comment that the "texture is authentic". IYKYK Baby Bear loves the Roti anywhere. I have to order two - one whole order for him and the other for the rest of the family. LOL Big Brother Bear always gets the spicy calamari. He loves the lightness of the batter and the spices used on it. Mother and I both love the Princess Tofu. The tofu is so fresh, has such a great flavor to it. I can't event describe it. Just get it. Meanwhile, Papa Bear likes the stir fried rice noodles. He also loves the Malaysian Fried Rice. On our most recent trip this weekend, we "discovered" Malaysian Iced Tea. I never knew the difference between Thai and Malaysian Iced Tea until now. And I'll never go back! Malaysian Iced Tea is less sweet - PERFECT for me! Closer to HK Milk Tea to me. Prior to this, we haven't been here since the pandemic and this was a great reminder that we need to put it back into regular rotation. read more

Ordered Nasi Lemak - a shame that plain rice was served instead of coconut rice which is what is supposed to be- even written in the menu. Server was in a hurry to clear the emptied skewers and didn't care about touching the chicken satay still on the plate. We've also eaten plenty of char kuey teow but the one here was very bland. All in all disappointed. read more

Came here as a big party of 13 and the food, service, ambiance was spot on! We came on a Saturday for lunch and the restaurant was packed and lively. We got quite a few items including drinks, roti canai, crispy calamari, signapore chili prawn, sizzling chicken, kangkung belcan veggie, mee goreng, malaysian fried rice (one without chicken), and coconut rice. The food came out fast and it was tasty. Portion sizes are decent for the price and worth it imo! read more

I've tried a lot of pad Thai or some what similar to what is called a pad Thai and this is not it. I ordered it for an office and the flavor is either too much to too bland. The order was somewhat a bit alternated. The roti was dry and not flakey. Not enough layer to be called a roti. It is more like a toasted tortilla. The sauce was kind of chunky. Overall not a great experience for me. read more

Like many restaurants during the pandemic, they drastically cut down their operating hours. Finally got the chance to take my fiance here after loving my first visit back in 2019! We ordered the sarang seafood after seeing it was a must try, pearl mee (mouse tail noodles) since I loved it the first time, and Thai chicken. Our food took about 15-20 minutes to come and it all looked good. The sarang seafood was the most aesthetic one, the nest is actually fried taro! For $19, it wasn't worth it... it was really just mixed veggies with a few shrimps in a taro nest. The pearl mee (mouse tail noodles) was good! The noodles were thick, chewy and flavorful. It really does look like mouse tails if you keep looking at it haha! The Thai chicken wasn't that great, it tasted like shredded chicken with sweet and spicy sauce. Overall, food and service was both okay. Definitely not as great as my first time :( read more

I remember eating here many years ago, when my taste buds were very different. In a sense, I can divide my life into BN and AN years (before not-fat and after not-fat), and the last time I ate here was many years ago when I was fat and had much more normal eating patterns (I also believe their location was somewhere else). However, despite my taste buds changing in very strange ways, I still had a wonderful meal and greatly enjoyed everything I ordered. Moreover, the service was very nice. Even though the restaurant was basically full, we were in a hurry to make an appointment, and they were willing to clear out a pseudo-table in the corner of the restaurant to quickly accommodate us. That was very nice! And the food was just as good! Weirdly, this place had a significantly lower score on Yelp than I expected, and when I read the reviews, it seemed like a lot of very positive reviews just gave it 3/4 stars. So I suspect it just caters to a clientele that "grades on a curve" so to speak. Anyways, onto what I ordered: Nasi Lemak - A very iconic Malaysian dish. My understanding is that it's often considered a breakfast dish. Regardless, I had it at night and had no regrets. A lot of unique flavors combined, from coconut milk to some sort of fermented vegetable thing to chili to fishy-like sauce. It's a very unique flavor and a great thing to get if you're not familiar with Malaysian food. The pickled vegetables made it a fairly refreshing dish as well, which made it a great starter. Normally, I don't find rice dishes enjoyable or refreshing at all (and neither did my family - none of us really grew up eating rice and it goes down digestively weird), so this was a very pleasant surprise! Kari Mee Noodle Soup - Also very uniquely Malaysian dish. For whatever reason, everyone I'm related to immediately thinks yellow curry (and not much else) when they think Malaysian food. Though in fairness, that's not a bad thing! Malaysian curry is great! Very rich (due to coconut milk), but generously flavored with the unique Malaysian curry powder and not too sweet. This was served as a soup with nice chewy noodles, so the soup is eminently drinkable as well (rich, but not too sweet). Also nice potatoes inside soak up curry flavoring as well. I am an acolyte in potato supremacy, and this extends here as well. Eggplant Belacan - I really wanted a belacan (shrimp paste) dish, because the belacan flavor is extremely unique as well. They let you choose whatever vegetables with whatever flavoring you want (which is why the menu is so large). I just had eggplant because I liked it, and I had it with belacan sauce. The eggplant was definitely sauteed in a nice way so that the unique belacan flavor really soaked into it. However, it wasn't so overpowering that we had to pair the eggplant with rice or anything It was a very good dish, combining Chinese-style sautéing with Malaysian-style sauce. Kind of a microcosm of the restaurant, as I believe the restaurant owners are Chinese-Malaysian (at least some of the employees spoke Mandarin). Anyways, the meal was great, well-sized, not overly expensive. Just an overall great place to get a meal, especially if you're with 3+ people, so you can sample more dishes (due to the family-style dining). read more

Very good Indonesian/Malaysian food, as authentic as I can find in the Bay Area! The chicken satay was so tender and the peanut sauce tasted very delicious! The rendang also tasted very good as it wasn't sweet and the meat was tender. Service was very slow, it took quite a long time for the server to check on our table and brought the bill. Overall, the food is very good, the ambiance was very ethnic. read more

Food and service were great: *interior is large enough to be socially distanced, even with the steady flow of patrons *they were very good about refilling hot water for our tea *didn't try to upsell or encourage over ordering *let us stay for dayz - I think we sat for 3 hours *roti with the curry dip is a must, eat while hot - $6.75 per is pricey, we had one pp *out of On Choy, they made a special veg mix for us eggplant, okra, green beans with the same fermented shrimp paste - star of the show, so good! *satay tofu was super flavorful and nice presentation, I was expecting skewers *the seafood was nestled in fried taro! Whoa! So interesting! And didn't taste greasy like dim sum *every item had the perfect amount of heat, just a little burn to the lips, nothing intolerable, our noodles were prob the spiciest, then the curry dip Everything was seasoned nicely, unique Malay flavors and didn't leave us panting for gallons of water.

Layang Layang is a nice cozy Malaysian Cuisine. This is the second time I visited. I had Han Nan Chicken and Roti Canai. It was really good ! I spent $33 for two dishes. The service is good and the interior design is very transitional! Roti Canai: first time trying this, it looks like thin pan cake ! It is not oily and the sauce is amazing ! 马莱飞饼Roti Canai: 这道来自马来西亚和新加坡的传统美食，外形酷似印度的印度飞饼，但口感和制作方法不同。柔软易拉，可撕成小块蘸咖喱或其他调料食用，也可直接食用，真的很好吃，不怎么喜欢吃碳水的我居然差点吃完了 Hai Nan Chicken: the portion of chicken is a good size and came with chili sauce ! 海南鸡饭Hainan Chicken: 是源自中国海南岛的经典美食，以鸡肉和香糯米饭为主要食材，配以青瓜、葱油和辣椒酱等佐料，是马来西亚最受欢迎的菜肴之一，小店里的饭用的是鸡油饭而不是糯米饭，鸡油味很淡，鸡肉调味一般般，因为我本人特别喜欢海南鸡饭所以去哪都要尝试！只能说不是主打，其他菜可能更好吃吧！ read more

The chow keoh teoh is also amazing, and I could eat that daily and never tire of it. I also really like the chicken satay. Can't recommend the food here enough, there's nothing else like it in the Bay Area! read more

I absolutely love the food here! I ordered the beef rendang , the water spinach and pineapple fried rice. But what I'm more amazed by is the service!!

I like Malaysian/Singaporean food and I was excited to try this spot when I found it on Yelp. I think this is the best Malaysian option in the area and I liked it better than the other ones like Banana Leaf. I've been here twice, one of the two being with my work colleagues and team. The prices are towards the expensive side but I think the quality of the food and the portions justify it: They were also really nice to us, and let us order 15 minutes before the restaurant was going to close, even though they told us 30 minutes ahead would be the final order when we walked in. Two people in our group were late and they waited to take our order patiently. One thing though is that they didn't have customization of spice level for some of the items I asked (ex: chicken rendang), which makes me think some of the curries are probably pre cooked. Coming to the food, The food was on the mild side to be honest and I wish it was more spicy and we could customize it to be. - Tom Yum Soup: The name says it, YUM! Huge portions, authentic taste (towards the sour side and a tad sweet maybe) with a lot of veggies. One bowl was enough for 4-5 people to share and still be left with additional soup. - Roti Canai Vegetarian: Standard dish, flake prata, the veggie version of the sauce was average though, I think I might've preferred the non vegetarian version since that's more authentic and delicious. - Chicken Satay: succulent chicken, well cooked, good peanut sauce - Green Curry: lots of veggies, and fresh, friends told me it was very mild though and they wished it was a bit spicier (is green curry supposed to be spicy? NO!) - Pineapple fried rice: In an actual pineapple like most places do it, tasted good, not towards the extremely sweet side like it sometimes is - Nasi Lemak: Chicken rendang, coconut rice and salad. The rendang was tasty but towards the mild side again. I liked the coconut flavored rice, it wasn't heavy on coconut but had a slight tinge. Didn't like the sambal mix though. Couple of other friends ordered one of the special noodle dishes (forgot which one) and thought they wished it was more flavorful and spicy. One other friend ordered the grilled fish dish (not sure if the name) but it was LARGE! I'll be back here soon. read more

If we could give zero or negative stars we would. The service we received today can only be described as PASSIVE-AGGRESIVE RACISM. We are a same-sex bi-racial couple. One of us is white and the other is Asian (Filipino to be specific). All the staff focused on, was attentive to, made eye contact with only the white person. Every single time that our glasses of water were to be replenished, the staff only replenished the white person's glass. It was only when the Asian specifically asked for his water to be refilled specifically -- was it done. This didn't happen just 1 time, or 2 times or 3 times, but at least 4 times. Basically, they treated the Asian as if here were invisible. Words cannot describe how hurt, insulted, and humiliated the Asian felt. It's not just completely wrong...it is totally inhumane! Unfortunately, we have experienced this type of treatment many times. For it to happen at an Asian restaurant in the SF Bay Area is just unfathomable. This experience completely ruined our day out and our entire weekend! We will never return to this restaurant and we urge each and every one of you who is thinking about going to this restaurant to find another place to enjoy a meal! read more

Fantastic Malaysian restaurant with many options! The sarang seafood is a must-have. The satay chicken skewers was soft and juicy, and goes well with the peanut sauce and fresh & crisp cucumbers. The roti canai is a thin and crispy pancake served with delicious sauce. The Malaysian fried rice and the kangkung belacon were perfect additions to round out the meal. Will definitely come back in the future to try more of the menu! read more

It seems like I am forever on a hunt to find new noodle dishes to serve my picky little munchkin. Since she gets tired of things fairly quickly, I was praying I'd find another option to add to her very very short list of items she actually eats. I stumbled across Layang Layang on Yelp and went for it. I placed a takeout order for Hokkien Mee Fried Noodle [thick yellow noodles cooked in heavily flavored soy sauce w/ chicken, shrimp, & veggies] and was told the dish would take 25 minutes to make. The dish was piping hot but I was immediately hit with a very very strong, pungent onion smell. The dish was riddled with fried onion/shallot pieces and that in itself was kind of a turn off. The "thick yellow noodles" weren't the thick egg noodles I had anticipated, they used udon. A majority of the noodles were all broken into bits and the noodles were swimming in its sauce. Chicken was thick and cooked well but the 3 pieces of shrimp provided did not taste fresh. Soft noodles are good for the munchkin since she's prone to not chewing but the salty aspect was alarming. Maybe the kitchen staff was having an off day, maybe I'm tastebuds are sensitive to salt, maybe I just picked a bad item, but maybe Layang Layang is just overhyped. 2 stars with this experience, I'm not sure if I'd want to chance it and come back. read more

I have been coming to here for authentic Malaysian food and the food has always been consistently delicious. I really enjoy their roti and sizzling fish; those two are probably my go to whenever I come. The roti itself is flakey but still has a nice chewy texture. And the curry that comes with it is just so flavorful with a hint of coconut milk. As for the sizzling fish, I always ask for the sauce to be on the side so the fish stays crispy. The sauce is pretty unique, it has a slight kick and is tangy with the tamarind base. Service here is usually pretty decent, it can get busy so sometimes it may be hard to get them to come by. The ambiance is basically any normal asian restaurant, its not too crazy with any sort of decor. I would suggest not expecting much for that aspect but the food is great. read more
