Though on a serious note--kinda bummed bc I wanted to make one last visit before they closed July 17, though unfortunately I didn't make it back to town in time :( What a loss of a cultural connection point for the city! Food is a gateway to experiencing and understanding other cultures and this location was front and center in midtown, blocks from Times Square. In a sea of other cuisines, this part of Southeast Asia didn't/doesn't have much representation in general in Manhattan, and even less so now. Scouring articles and comments online I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they're able to find a different space in the near future! Was it the best food court? I'll admit this was easily debatable for many reasons. But each stall had their own standouts. Tradsiyon was a later addition though had really solid braised meat and veggie bowls; Hainan Jones stepped into a midtown scene several years ago with no other similar Hainanese chicken spots in midtown (a few others thankfully are around today); Kopifellas brought uniquely Singaporean/Malasian tea and coffee options; I still remember the first bite of Prawnaholic's signature shrimp and rib noodles tasting that savory goodness for the first time; and most of all I will dearly miss this location of Lady Wong, where I rarely walked away empty handed. Thank you for the memories (and think about that movie plot twist I mentioned above)!

The spring rolls were either badly overcooked or fried in rancid oil, leaving them with an off-putting smell that made them inedible. The Beef Nasi Lemak was incredibly unappealing visually, and the Pad Thai was overly sweet with soggy, lifeless vegetables that tasted as if they had been repeatedly refried. The food left such a terrible aftertaste that we had to immediately go find a coffee shop just to wash it out of our mouths. Easily the worst meal we've had. Avoid this place. How do they have such a high rating? I don't understand.

The vibe inside is dark and intimate with plenty of seating. The waitress was so friendly and offered to run down the menu with us and help us decide what to get. For apps (forgot to capture a pic :( ) we got the Roti Canai, Crispy Calamari and Chicken lettuce wraps. The calamari was literally the best calamari ive ever had.. The batter and seasoning that was dusted on top made it sooo delish! The chicken wrap was also a fan fav. We couldn't get enough. For the mains we ordered the malaysian curry, massaman curry and the Sambal.. Alll the dishes were seasoned so well and you get plenty for the price. I would absolutely go back to Rasa, anytime.

Pineapple Fried Rice - was missing acidity from lime and was missing texture, perhaps nuts or bean sprouts would have elevated the dish Chicken Pad Thai - perfect, there were a lot of chicken pieces in it too Nasi Lemak (curried chicken) - great as well, loved the anchovies Would love to try the Malay wings, roti canai and egg noodles next time.

The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for Midtown Manhattan. Over the two visits, I tried both versions of the Hainanese chicken rice, and both were delicious. The food came out incredibly fast, and I especially appreciated that the meals included Chinese broccoli. I also tried the stir-fried noodles from Hainan Jones and that was excellent.

I would def come back here and what's great is that you can feel healthy bc it's steamed/poached chicken, rice and veggies :) It's inside Urban Hawker, so you can get a variety of other things to go with your meal - might I recommend Kopi (malaysian coffee) at the nearby stand? The flavors were bold, authentic, and the chicken skin was silky smooth. The cucumbers had a nice crunch and the veggies as well.
