Nasi Goreng
Jen S.

Came here on a chilly Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was spacious and not too busy yet. The service was great. The staff even gave us hot tea to warm up from the cold. We ordered the roti canai, mixed satay, nasi goreng, and fried pearl noodles. I also ordered an iced kopi which tasted very similar to a Vietnamese iced coffee. The fried pearl noodles were flavorful and the texture was really interesting. The noodles had a chewy and firm bite similar to udon and ended up being a favorite between my brother and me. My mom didn't enjoy the chewiness as much but she said it was a good experience. The mixed satay came with both chicken and beef. We enjoyed it enough to order another round to go but this time we opted for beef only. The sauce that comes with it is as equally delicious. Highly recommend coming here to try the fried pearl noodles and the beef satay.

Hainanese chicken
Julie Ying X.

I came here for a late lunch since my family and I were in the area and looking for food. 86th St has so many options so it took a while to decide on a place (such difficult decisions haha). This place had good reviews so we decided to check it out. We ordered the Roti Canai, the Sarang Burung (chicken, seafood, veggies, cashews in a taro nest), the Hainanese chicken (half), and the Four Heavenly Kings (without shrimp, eggplant, string beans, okra, petai beans). The portions were larger than I expected and the food was not too greasy. I especially liked the Hainanese chicken and the Sarang Burung. Service was friendly and fast. I would definitely come back, the food was better than other Malaysian places I've been to in Brooklyn.

Fried Pearl Noodle
Josephine C.

Always loved a good Malaysian meal! Ordered the nasi lemak with "stinky beans", roti canai and pearl noodles! The stinky beans didn't taste good, it was so dry but the balachan taste is still there, the pearl noodles is good as always! The roti canai came with curry, the curry is a bit salty though. It was cold in the restaurant because we came here on a rainy cold night. It would have been nice if they turned on the heat because it was so cold that the food also got cold rather quickly. The staff is friendly.

This family run spot, has roots in Queens but is now serving it up at this Brooklyn location. The vibe at this place is usually chill, not crowded, though patience with their service would be greatly appreciated when they do get busy. Otherwise, efficient and friendly. It's also a nice touch that they have a rotating lineup of homemade Malaysian baked, fried, and sweet treats, not all listed on their menu. Highlights: Hainanese Chicken - tender, fragrant & consistenly good. Dark meat option available for a small upcharge Curry Yang Tau Fu - excellent curry base, the appetizer is spot on & their curry noodle soup is a solid choice too Curry Chicken w/ potatoes - hearty and flavorful, though a bit heavy on the potatoes Satay Chicken - juicy, flavorful, and one of the best versions around Sizzling Tamago Tofu - soft tofu, paired with flavorful pork and shrimp sauce Scrambled Egg Chow Fun - comforting seafood "wat dan hor", noodles are smooth with a nice touch of wok heat, served with a light egg, seafood and veggie sauce Salted Egg Yolk Prawn Chow Fun Noodle - a must try, soft noodles with great wok heat topped with well made fried salted egg yolk prawns. slightly oily, but worth it Pandan and Coconut Pudding - lightly fragrant flavors of pandan and coconut flavors, perfect not so sweet finish Miss: Sarang Burong - execution of this dish needs a lot of improvement, chicken was dry, fried taro shell needs work Fish RIce Noodle Soup - started off eating this dish for a non spicy option but the dish has declined in my rotation. Possibly a good mild fish option for kids They take cash and credit, with credit card fee. Overall, great Malaysian spot in neighborhood with genuine service delivering flavor from the heart. The highlights are what is worth coming back for.

Hainan chicken
Albert W.

Tasty. One of the best places I have had hainan chicken. Good portions and quick service. Will definitely come back.

Iced cendol
Eunice C.

Lovely hospitality, good selection of food. We came for desserts, the momochacha and the red bean soup, and added an iced cendol as beverage. Tasty, not too sweet. The restaurant was spacious and a nice place to relax on a rainy day, not too busy. There was a display of Malaysian desserts and drinks. I got the pandan to go. There were also homemade kaya jam, which I kinda regret not getting. I also ordered two dishes to go, Nasi Lemak and the Meet Young Tau Food. Decent meals, though eating at the restaurant is probably best for freshness and taste.

Malaysian restaurants in Bensonhurst have come and gone, but I'm super happy to have found this one & add it to my go-to list. Reasons why I'm a fan: - Pearl noodles are on the menu. Need I say more? This is my favorite dish anytime I dine at a Malaysian restaurant, and I've found that many don't even sell this anymore. Little House's rendition was chewy, flavorful, and everything I could want in a pearl noodles stir fry. - The curry actually has flavor! Typically I find that curry can taste bland, especially as a side component to dip your roti in. This one was pleasant enough that we were taking spoonfuls, like a soup. - The decor is adorable! So excited to return and try more eats!

Stir Fried Lobak ; Beef Chow Fun ; Chicken Satay Skewers ; Hainan Chicken Rice ; Roti Canai
Veronica L.

Everything was just ok + nothing special. The best thing we got was the Chicken Satay Skewers, which came with a yummy sweet peanut sauce. The Stir Fried Lobak was interesting - it came with fried tofu and century old egg as well. The Beef Chow Fun was saltier than I liked + the Curry that came with the Roti Canai was pretty watery. The Hainan Chicken Rice was decent! You're only allowed to choose between the breast or leg (dark meat). We chose the breast + there were ~6 pieces of chicken. The ginger and hot sauces it came with helped with the flavor. The order also comes with a cup of soup, which tastes primarily like sesame oil. Overall, this spot is just ok, but I've had better. Unfortunately, I'm still on the hunt for solid Malay food in South Brooklyn. If you know of a spot, lmk!

My best friend and I were on the hunt for Malaysian food in Brooklyn and we decided to give this restaurant a try. Our cravings were definitely satisfied. We had our usuals - the hainese chicken & the shrimp with string beans. It was a delicious meal and we have no complaints!

Pandan Nasi Lemak
Kelly N.

We stopped by for lunch. The restaurant was clean and quite spacious. Service was good. We ordered the following to share between 2: Young Tao Fu, Hainan Chicken Rice and Pandan Nasi Lemak. Young Tao Fu was really flavorful and had depths. The fried tofu skin was crispy goodness. Fishballs were bouncy and had good texture. The only exception was the the fishcake on tofu. It was bland. As for the Nasi Lemak, they didn't have the pandan rice so we got regular steamed rice. The sambal was good mixed with the anchovies. The bakwon was a little bland but nothing that Sambal can't fix. The Hainan Chicken rice was delicious and reminds me of Singapore. The chicken was juicy and rice had good chicken flavor. This was cooked with love.

Shirley H.

The food is the same, but they need to get it together with orders. I placed my order and went to 2 other places to order and pick up since I know they will take a while. During arrival she got my order wrong then when she showed me the receipt, it was someone else's receipt; which we ordered the same things, then she told me "your order was a while ago, we'll make it now". What?????!! I missed 3 trains and end up late to my activity. Order the pearl noodles from the lunch special and my usual crispy noodles. Crispy noodles are still tasty, light and flaky noodles. Pearl noodles are too tough.

I was in the area and stopped by Little House Restoran to get my Malaysian food cravings satisfied! Started off with the young tao fu (without noodles) and the curry sauce was super fragrant with a nick spice kick. The eggplant, tofu, and jicama with the meat filling were all very delicious. For mains, the prawn mee had a hearty broth with strong prawn flavors. The egg noodles were good but a little overcooked. The chow kway teow was solid with good wok hei and savory flavors. Shrimp pieces were juicy and bean sprouts crunchy. Nevertheless I think it could have used a little more white pepper. Their belacan sauce was a lovely addition to the noodle dishes. The sauce was very multidimensional with different layers of shrimp/seafood, garlic/shallot, and red pepper flavors. For drinks, the bek kopi was solid and reminded me of ones I had in KL. Although the chendol had strong coconut sugar flavors, the coconut milk was diluted and the green jelly was a little too mushy. DO NOT SKIP ON DESSERT!! As someone who grew up eating kuihs, their kuihs were very solid and affordable. My go-to kuih salat had a balanced mix of pandan and coconut flavors. The sticky rice was chewy and had a good texture. Their kuih sago impressed me. Not only was the sago integrity preserved, but also the coconut flavors and coconut sugar taste were balanced and not overpowering. This no frills mom and pop shop was bigger than expected; tables were clean. I went on a weekday so service was quick, despite a lot of take out orders. There is a fee with credit card payments so get your cash ready. Would come back if I was in the area and definitely will get more kuihs!

Seafood CHAR KOAY TEOW - thick noodle fried with seafood yum
Anna S.

This place has the best Malaysian food in Brooklyn! They have a huge selection of all the classic Malayan dishes. We got: 1. Char Koay Teow - thick flat noodle stir fried with seafood medley and bean sprouts. Our plate only had two pieces of squid and you can tell it's from a frozen seafood mix. 2. Curry mee young tao fu - delicious fish paste red curry with mixed with tofu fish balls, eggplants and fried tofu skin *MUST GET! 3. Nasi Lemak - we wanted to get the pandan version but they no longer sell the pandan rice. 4. Appetizer mixer platter - pork spring roll, shrimp pancake, fried tofu, thousand year eggs, with ginger and chili sauce The curry mee young tao fu appetizer is probably my favorite dish out of the four items. The curry is so flavorful and I love the mix and match of different textures in the soup. You have the soft eggplant, the chewy fish balls, and the crispy fried tofu skin. We had plenty to take home for a second meal for two people!!

Since trying Indonesian food in Amsterdam, I have been searching for good authentic Indonesian…read morefood, so I was over the moon when I went to this spot with a group. We called ahead to make sure they would be open when we arrived around 8:45pm, and they were very accommodating when we arrived with a group of 5. It felt authentic, and the food was exactly what I was dreaming about. My husband and brother shared a Rijsttafel, which they said was very good. My husband said it was a 4.25/5, and next time he would want a normal dish. I wish they had a vegetarian Rijsttafel (like in the places we found in Amsterdam), but they had a ton of vegetarian dishes regardless. I went a little overboard and ordered the tofu sate, gado gado, and kare sayur. The tofu sate with the peanut sauce was amazing, but my favorite was the gado gado. I was so happy. That peanut sauce is incredible. The waitress said the kare sayur is a popular dish with vegetarians, but it didn't blow me away like the other dishes. It was a trek to get out here from Manhattan, but I would do it again. The two ladies working at the restaurant were so warm and friendly. I was very happy.

I recently was taken here on a first date and had a pleasant experience. I have been eyeing this…read moreIndonesian neighborhood restaurant for quite some time now so naturally getting the opportunity to finally try it was absolutely delightful. We opted for the 15 course dinner that samples through their entire menu. It is a perfect amount of food for two people and I recommend this experience very much. The meal starts with a cozy chicken and noodle broth soup which was so warming and comforting, just what the doctor ordered in this weather. The second round of food was two types of salad and a corn fritter. I loved the pickled salads as they had a nice crunch to them and tasted delicious. The fritters are a good size but a little bit greasier than I liked. The last round is where all the curries are brought out on a hot plate. There's shrimp, lamb, beef rendang, chicken, tofu etc. There's also white rice and skewers of chicken and beef satay coated in a delicious peanut sauce. Some of the curries I liked very much - like the fried tofu and the sauce on the shrimp curry was divine. Beef rendang fell a little flat for me as it wasn't as decadent, thick or spicy like authentic rendang is. The lamb curry had a sweet taste which I found a little odd. The chicken satay was juicy and delicious but the beef satay was rubbery and hard to chew and a weird texture. I definitely expect better from a satay skewer. Our server was kind and kept the flow of the food going. The final course is a little coconut pandan flan which was very very good but the texture is firmer than what I like. Flan should definitely be a bit softer and creamier. Either way it's tough to nail a 15 course dinner expertly but I do think if they made a few needed changes to the quality of food this would easily be a 5 star experience! If you live nearby, definitely give this beautiful cozy family run restaurant a try!!

The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the food was served very fast. I opted to get the nasi lemak since it seemed to be their most popular food. Delicious! The blue rice was super unique and carried a subtle but noticeable coconut flavor and the crispy chicken paired nicely with it. I'm definitely going to come back and try out some of the other food items! 10/10

I'm a big fan of Kaya toast but honestly quite disappointed with the Kaya toast here…read more The Kaya toast comes with a thick slice of toasted bread except I don't think they make the Kaya toast to order. When I picked it up, it was already room temperature. It looks like it was prepared ahead of time instead of the other Kaya toasts I've had which were prepared fresh with the bread still warm. The thick slice of bread was also quite stale. Despite only consuming the Kaya toast about 1-2 hours after picking it up, the bread was not fresh at all. Appearance wise, it looks like a generous portion of Kaya jam but when you open up the sandwich, there's actually not that much Kaya. Most of the Kaya looked like they were pushed to the edge creating an appearance of a fuller sandwich. The butter was also not the usual thick slab of butter I was used to seeing. I do have to say that I do think their Kaya jam was quite delicious. It was not overly sweet and has a good coconut pandan flavor. I also tried some of their other sweets. The pulut tai tai which is a steamed sticky rice and comes with a side of kaya jam. It's just ok, the kaya jam is carrying most of the flavor. I was really excited for the kuih talam but it was quite surprising for me. I like the sweeter pandan base but the coconut milk layer was way too salty. I know that's how the dish is supposed to be served but it was quite confusing for my taste buds. I think the pandan base by itself is good but it's not sweet enough to balance out the saltiness of the coconut milk layer. The ambiance inside is quite casual. You order at the counter first and then pick up your food. You also clean up after yourself. I'm a big fan of these casual environments but the food was a big let down. Overall: the sweets and signature Kaya toast left me disappointed but their homemade Kaya jam itself is quite delicious.
