    Discovered Masakan during SRW and love the authentic Malaysian cuisine and wonderful service by Mas and Zani, the owners. They are so kind and friendly. The Nasi Lemak has fried chicken with a unique taste. I think its lemongrass and their homemade seasoning. The coconut rice and chili sambal led us to finish the entire dish, even though it's generous in portion. The Beef Char Kway Teow has simple ingredients, and i think it's a go-to for noodle lovers. The kuih bakar is a pandan cake. You can smell and taste pandan! We love how authentic it is, the simple menu, yet delicious meal!

    Great variety and lots of options to choose from. I tried some new items that were recommended and can't wait to go back

    We had an amazing time here and food was amazing too .We ordered salad ,noodles. I also tried the hibiscus tea and that was also amazing.

    Food was amazing even for vegetarian. We were group of 4 waiting time was 25 min. We ordered rotla, salad, noodles and hibiscus tea. All the dishes are amazing.

    Kuih Box ($20). This one included curry puffs, kuih sago, pulut panggang, kuih lapis pandan. Excellent!!

    So sedap! I stumbled upon Masakan's Instagram just as I was missing home and had to give them a try. They offer authentic Malaysian food that really hits the spot for this homesick Singaporean, and they seem to do pop-ups every weekend. I enjoyed their meal as well as their kuih (dessert) boxes, and the pickup process was quick and easy. I am certainly a big fan now, and will consider using them for catering at future parties/events. It seems to be a small family business with two lovely Malaysian women at the helm. I'm excited to get to know this business better and try more of their delicious meals.

    Masakan is doing Malaysian pop ups all around the Seattle area. This weekend was their 1 year anniversary! And WOW the food here really really impressed me!! A friend had recommended the food here and I ordered as soon as I saw the menu. They had their pop up out of La Rue in Capitol Hill this weekend. My online ordering and in person pick up were both easy and seamless. Lemang and rendang ($20): glutinous rice wrapped in banana leafs with beef rendang. Sticky rice was delicious when paired with the rendang. The rendang was SO tasty, crazy flavor explosion with lots of lemongrass and galangal taste. Nasi lemak bungkus ($14): coconut milk rice, chili sambal, peanuts, and anchovies all wrapped in a banana leaf. This dish was delicious and spicy! I loved the homemade sambal complimented with the coconut rice. Pandan cake ($5): chiffon cake with pandan flavors. So fluffy, so light, so so yummy Unfortunately there was a power outage and they weren't able to make curry puffs ($9). But I did hear from a friend that they were good! Sad that I missed out, but I'll have to order them next time! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out on their Instagram for their next pop up!

    easy ordering and pick up. great all vegan menu this time around so was excited that they'd gone this route and changed things up from the normal meat centric menu. hoping that they'll end up doing a pop up somewhere in west seattle or white center to allow for the southwest quadrant of the city to enjoy the malaysian flavors i miss from my time spent there. thanks for so many creative dishes that truly showcase the diverse textures and flavors of the country!

Luckily I was able to snag reservations, but you do sit pretty close to the tables around you. We didn't mind since we had a corner table. To share, we ordered the chicken curry nasi lemak, sayap ayam pedas, and kaya toast. All three dishes were phenomenal, each with its own distinct flavor. The sayap ayam pedas was a huge portion for just 2 people, but we couldn't stop eating. The combination of soy sauce and fish sauce was not overpowering at all and the chicken itself was so juicy. The chicken curry in the nasi lemak was delicious with the coconut rice. Along with the anchovies, egg, peanuts, and sambal, it was a choose-your-own-adventure kind of bite. The kaya toast was the perfectly sweet dish to balance out all the flavors. I especially loved dipping it in the poached egg for a satisfyingly runny bite. I left feeling so full, but so motivated to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend!

The roti jala is an always-order, and great for sharing. The laksa is really good, and a great option for vegetarians. I personally like the nasi lemak, but just be careful not to add all of the chilis they provide you, as that can really overwhelm the flavor of the dish. The nasi biryani is good -- the beef rendang is wonderfully flavorful but not the most tender rendang I've had. Portions are satisfying, thankfully, since all the entrees are about $20 and up. This place runs like a well-oiled machine. Food comes out quickly and you feel well attended to here.

She was also made sure to double check that our meals were dairy free by bringing out a chart and showing us what our options were, which made us feel confident that our orders wouldn't have any of our allergens.

They also forgot to bring out our dessert. You're also paying a forced 18% gratuity for this. If the food was good I'd maybe give the bad service a pass, but unfortunately, like other reviews have called out, the food was mediocre and salty. The beef in the nasi lemak was bland, dry, and literally tasted like it was boiled in plain water then left out to dry before being served. The shrimp in the laksa lemak tasted similar. Like it was boiled in water separately then dumped into the soup and served. The broth was salty. I love Indonesian food and really wanted to like this place... but it was a letdown. I'd definitely recommend going elsewhere.

I walked in and decided to give them a shot. Try something easy ..I got the wonton soup with egg noodles.. the broth was umami and garlicky, and warmed up my soul. The wontons were nice and tender, flavored with shrimp and pork. It was like a warm hug. Hit the spot! Second, I ordered the crispy spicy fish. It was an extraordinary presentation even my Chef friend was delighted to see the culinary expertise of the Chef. And it was also very reasonably priced. The service was excellent. They were very welcoming. The decor of the restaurant is super upscale. It looks like a fancy club. This would be a great place to bring a first date. Overall I was super impressed and very happy that I stumbled into this delicious restaurant. 10/10

He offered great menu suggestions and shared the story behind the restaurant--his brother designed the space, and he built it with the help of friends, which made the experience feel even more special. The menu is Thai-forward with a few standout dishes from other Asian cuisines mixed in thoughtfully. The décor is gorgeous--an elevated, glamorous tribute to the water buffalo that feels bold yet refined. We ordered the Miang Kham, Crying Tiger, and Mango Salad. I always order Miang Kham when I see it since it's such a rare find, and this one was excellent. The Crying Tiger was tasty but came out more well done than the medium-rare we ordered. That said, we still finished it because the dipping sauce was fantastic and the purple-and-white sticky rice was delicious. The Mango Salad was beautifully prepared with shredded mango that had just the right crunch and tartness. Generous portions served. Even during a busy late afternoon, the chef handled guests with ease and a big smile, serving beautifully executed dishes and cocktails. Very impressive. We'll definitely be bringing friends here next time we're in Seattle. Tip: They do true Thai spice levels here--proceed with caution."

Its a good size restaurant with big menu; plenty of options to pick and choose. Service was good; waited a while to get seated but we notice it was only one person working in the front and she was helping a table so we think nothing of it. The menu/pictures looks good. What we got: Shrimp fritter (2.5/5) This wasn't it for us; not sure if it was the batter; but after we ate one; it felt oily? And it just stuck in our mouth. I would get a different appetizer next time. Nasi Goreng (1/5) Sorry; this was not what we expected either. Maybe im just used to flavorfull Nasi Goreng. It was bland and it was more of like a rice pillaf that barely touch the wok. I really hope this was just a one of those day and it usually good. It looks really good when it arrives and we were so excited; but when we started eating it; we were very surprise. Panang char kway thew (3.5/5) This one was decent; plenty of flavor. We like it. Belachan shrimp and sring bean (4/5) Best one from all the ones we ordered. Plenty of flavor. We use some of the sauce to mix in to nasi goreng. Teh Tarik (4/5) Good teh tarik. Really enjoy it. Har ko sai (4/5) Enjoy it. Good balance of both the mili and coffee Overall It could be better; I think my expectation was too high. Again; plenty of people were there so guessing they like them. Probably will try again if we are in the area.

    Ooink -- Precision Ramen and a Fried Chicken Surprise Worth Returning For…read more Rating: (4/5) Ooink proves that sometimes the most memorable dishes at a ramen shop aren't limited to the bowl. While I came for noodles, I left equally impressed by their fried chicken -- a rare highlight in a ramen-focused kitchen. This visit earns a strong 4 out of 5 stars for quality, execution, and value. Ambiance - 4/5 Ooink maintains a modern, casual ramen-house aesthetic -- intimate, energetic, and focused on the food. It feels like a place built around craft rather than flash. The atmosphere is comfortable enough to settle into a proper bowl of ramen without distraction. Authenticity - 4.5/5 What stood out immediately was their commitment to in-house noodle production. The fact that you can purchase fresh noodles to-go for just a dollar signals something important: these are made daily, not outsourced or pre-packaged. That dedication to noodle integrity reflects a respect for traditional ramen craftsmanship. Flavor - 5/5 The fried chicken was unexpectedly exceptional. Three large pieces for $13 -- generous, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Crisp exterior, tender interior, and well-balanced flavor. Easily one of the better karaage-style chickens I've had at a ramen establishment. The ramen itself delivered on texture -- which, as any true ramen enthusiast knows, is everything. I requested firm, thin noodles, and once the message was properly communicated (with the help of Google Translate due to a minor language barrier), they nailed it. The noodles were springy, resilient, and held up beautifully in the broth -- no sogginess, no compromise. Service - 4.5/5 There was a slight communication barrier initially, but the staff made a genuine effort to accommodate my preferences once clarified. That willingness to adjust and ensure satisfaction speaks positively about their hospitality. Cost - 5/5 For the portion size and quality, especially the fried chicken at $13 for three substantial pieces, the value is outstanding. Add in the fresh noodle program, and you're getting craftsmanship without a premium price tag. Final Thoughts Ooink is a ramen shop that respects fundamentals -- noodle texture, broth balance, and proper execution. Add to that a standout fried chicken offering, and you have a place that exceeds expectations. I'll absolutely be returning, not just for the ramen, but for that karaage alone.

The broth leans rich and creamy with a tonkotsu-style depth that I really enjoyed -- savory, well-balanced, and satisfying without being overwhelming. The ramen texture was spot on: springy with a good bite, holding up nicely in the broth. The toppings were thoughtfully portioned. The chashu was tender and flavorful, the egg was cooked just right with a custardy yolk, and everything felt intentional rather than excessive. Nothing was there just to fill space. Service was also a pleasant surprise -- attentive and efficient, especially for an establishment that doesn't push tipping on their POS. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. Not quite a mind-blowing, must-have bowl, but definitely one I'd come back for. A strong 4-star ramen spot in Seattle.
