Chicken Kari
Jessie K.

New (and only in the area) Malaysian place in Scarsdale village, opened 3 months ago according to our waiter. Decor is very cute, went late on a Friday evening and there was plenty of seating. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Roti canai was yummy. The Milo tea isn't really tea, it's basically what I think is maybe an Asian version of nesquik? But the price was reasonable for the serving size. Ended up with leftovers! I haven't had much Malaysian food so I don't have a comparison, but I think it's excellent that this place opened in Scarsdale village. The chicken Kari was flavorful, a bit thinner/more soup-consistency than what I traditionally think of curry (Indian, Japanese). It also came with a healthy serving of rice. The roti was also yummy, not as fluffy as other roti I've had, which isn't bad, just an observation. It could also be due to different cuisine styles rather than being restaurant specific. I'm hoping that the community will be willing to try something new for their palate that might not be like the typical Italian, American fare that you find around here--it's definitely worth it. I hope that this place does well!

Beef Ginger & Green Onion
Richard S.

I was excited to try this place after it came highly recommended. We went early on a Friday night and were lucky to get in as many others without reservations were turned away. It's a small casual place with not many tables. Felt like it was going to be a real find. Then the food arrived. We ordered the beef with ginger and the mee goreng. Both were flavorful but overly salty. It was good but nothing special.

Kid-friendly!

Delicious food and a welcome addition to Westchester! Food is very tasty and reasonably-priced. Came here with two kids under 6 and they both ate happily and like horses. Service is super friendly and warm. No frills, but perfectly comfortable. Will be glad to come again.

Nasi Goreng without shrimp. Delicious! Very fragrant.
Peter M.

Ordered delivery from this place; got the Nasi Goreng. While I think of this dish as Indonesian, it was absolutely delicious! The flavor was very good, and it had tender pieces of chicken too; I loved the spices. Will be ordering it again tonight! I'm also looking forward to trying the other dishes; though I will say I would like to go there rather than ordering it for delivery; as with a lot of places, I'm sure eating it fresh from the kitchen is better than having it sit waiting for the pickup. Highly recommend!

Nasi Lemak chicken
Tara K.

I loved this restaurant, the food is flavorful, fresh, and extremely authentic and the staff was especially amazing and friendly. The chicken Nasi Lemak was beyond tender and the portion was more than enough for two. The roti canai was also very good. The sambal was excellent, also very flavorful. It was a great marriage of cuisines Definitely get a drink, they use fresh mint and fruits in some of them!! The prices were so affordable.

Got chicken in red curry. Somewhat skimpy on chicken for price. Lumpia (fritters) were delicious and dipping sauces good. Will try again.

We ordered chicken satay, iced longan, char kuey teow, and beef Hor fun. The chef is from Malaysia and we strike up a good conversation.

I traveledcfarvto get to Jade Spoon because of several favorable reviews. Unfortunately it was…read morevert very disappointing. I did have one really good thing. The cold noodles were excellent. After that it was down hill. I found the beef sticks that people rave about overcooked, and so hard they could not be chewed. The sauce was also a turn off because the beef sticks were gratuitously over sweet. I literally tried to take one bite and gave up. I brought the container of beef sticks that I had been served, up to the counter. I explained about them.being overlooked, hard and not being able to chew them and the staff looked at me in disbelief. Nevertheless, they were gracious and offered to remake it. I said no thank you, and they asked if I wanted anything else instead, I was delighted for this offer. I requested another order of the utterly delicious sesame noodles, and they very kindly accomodated me. I also had the Thai fried rice, which was also something customers who wrote reviews raved about. For me the dish was a complete fail. There were a few delicious shrimp on top and mixed in, which I ate thinking that the dish was very promising. After that it was a treasure hunt. The rice was so dry and anything else in the container was tasteless, but I was super hungry. So I searched for the itsy bitsy pieces of pineapple and for the peas and some little pieces of chicken. All the vegetables were cut so small that you really couldn't taste them, except the peas. Even the pineapple was so so small it failed to flavor the dish. I would say after eating the few shrimp and picking out the pineapple and peas that 90% of the food remained in the container. They offered me a top for the container so I could take it home, but I declined, and I quietly l tossed it out when I left. It was just so dry and tasteless I didn't think that anything I might do to it at home to try to give it some taste, would make any difference. I don't recommend the food based on what I had except for the sole exception of the extraordinarily good sesame noodles.

I might be biased in this review because Thai food is my absolute favorite cuisine but what's good…read moreis good!!! We had noticed this place after having dinner at Red Hat and I made it known I wanted to eat here for my birthday and my birthday wish came true! The restaurant is 2 floors but the 2nd floor is where to be. They have this wonderful balcony that puts you with a beautiful backdrop for your meal. For our meal we opted for the lunch special which comes with choice of soup or salad and a classic dish entree. I got the Green Papaya Salad and Green Curry with chicken and my mother got the Kao Tum Soup and the Ginger Scallion entree with chicken. Since it was our first time here we had to also order a few more appetizers to try so we got the Chive Cake and Asian Cauliflower as well. The chive cake was lightly crispy and had a smooth chewy texture that was delightful. The cauliflower was tossed in the tangy sweet and sour sauce but still maintained its crispness on the outside and yet perfectly cooked on the inside. The green papaya salad was outstanding! I love the sourness, saltiness, nuttiness and freshness. My mouth is watering just thinking of that dish. The soup was a wonderful clear stock but tasted of the delicious aromatics it was steeped in. The green curry is always my go to and with good reason. The green coconut broth is so flavorful and a slight hint of spice that coats the chicken and vegetables perfectly. The rice is like a sponge for that delicious sauce. The ginger scallion was also soooo good. The sauce had this charred flavor that was amazing. Our drinks were also just as good as the food! My mom got the lychee Thai iced tea and I got the Tender Coconut. I was definitely not expecting to have the whole coconut in my glass so that was a fun experience! The iced tea was the best of both worlds and not too sweet. After I had finished drinking all the coconut water, they went ahead and cracked it so I could eat the coconut meat so that was a nice little dessert after a fabulous meal!
