Mek's Delight was recommended by a friend when we llwere discussing about Halal restaurant for South East Asian food. Interior was simple & clean, there's only 5 tables in the restaurant, so come early or call them first. Parking was plentiful at the back of the restaurant. The place is run by a husband & wife team, wife is from Kelantan, Malaysia & hubby is from Thailand. Hence the combination of Malaysian & Thai food. Very friendly & attentive service despite a 2 person team. We ordered fried rice with fried chicken, Nasi Lemak (coconut rice), Chicken Briyani, Mee Goreng, & Rendang. The flavour of the dishes was spot on, the fried chicken was extremely tasty, the flavour went right into the meat with a crispy skin. Who doesn't like crispy chicken skin? The Chicken Briyani was good, even better with the small bowl of curry that comes with the Briyani rice. Mee Goreng was authentically yummy! I am going to order that the next time. The coconut rice (Nasi Lemak), the rice was so fragrant, it is cooked with lemongrass which gives off a very lovely smell beside the taste. The beef Rendang was expensive but so... worth it, you can taste that it is made from scratch.. the beef was so tender that it melts in your mouth, we ordered a side of rice to go with it... such a marriage made in your mouth. We also ordered Thai iced tea & tea tarik... We will be back!

This is the first malaysian restaurant that i have given a 5 star in canada, but Mek's delight deserves it all. With just two people working, you have to be very patient if you come here. But i can confirm that it is worth every second to wait for the food to come. Although the bandung and the teh tarik was good, the food was superb. This is the best laksa soup i have tried in Canada. The ingredients are okay but the soup was just amazing totally should come to get the laksa. The nasi lemak has the best balacan in Canada. The very good chicken but not as good as nancy go yaya's chicken which just recently closed, so this is definitely the best now. Dont miss the balacan though. However, the star dish is nasi goreng kampoeng. This is truly the best dish. Cant miss this msg nasi goreng because it was just perfect. Cheers! Recommed for Uncle Roger to try.

Mom and pop style shop with Mom and Pop style food.  Straight up awsome home made comfort food that I'm familiar with. Food: Fried chicken and rice 2 ways. Crispy flavorful chicken fluffy rice. Thai papaya salad with sweet, sour, savory with a backend bite from fresh garlic mixed in.  Large Tom kha with chicken enough for 8 adults. 3 orders of Rotti because it was that good. Dough slightly crispy on the outside and chewy with a curry dipping sauce. Last but not least a noodle dish  similar to chow main with a Malaysian flair. All the food was surprisingly well prepared, hot and quick to make it to the table. For a two person mom and pop shop and a full house, food was fast and service was friendly. If you like the Malaysian/Thai/Indo-Chinese type food this is your go to place in Surrey, BC, CANADA.

We went here because of their reviews. When we walked in, we were the only people there. We ordered: Laksa 3.5/5 - it tasted good but wasn't that flavorful. It had too much veggies in it tooo. I had better laksa before that's why its was hard to compare it. Beef rendang 4/5 - the bf loved it. I thought it was okay.. this dish is usually not my favorite. But the meat was very soft! Roti 5/5 - this was the best roti I had! It was very crunchy and buttery. Mee goreng 4/5 - noods was so yummy. A different taste.. but it was good. I would recommend to try this gem!

I was here yesterday for a lunch with my sister, and dining here was the best decision ever. Thanks Yelp for finding this hidden gem of Guildford. So first we ordered Chicken Satay ($7), Tom Yum soup(with chicken $9.5), Mee Mamak (with beef $10.25) and Teh Tarik ($2.95) , and service was bit slow at first because there was only wife and hubby together (I think they were Malaysians). We even saw some dishes and waste that wasn't finished cleaning. I was very much blown away from Tom Yum soup at the beginning and it really felt like eating home cooked Thai food. It wasn't like fake ones from the food court. Chicken Satay was fresh. I loved the nutty and sweet flavour of chicken satay. Mee Mamak was good too, however the chicken in the noodle was quite dry and rubbery. Everything else about the dish was great. Teh Tarik was really good. It tasted like home made milk tea that was sweet and milky. Good thing ,I didn't order along with Thai Iced Tea as the two drinks would taste similar. I highly recommend this place for those who likes Thai\ Malay cuisine. I personally think MD is better than Tropika and Banana Leaf. They do have wifi under #Telus, the only downside I found was small narrow washrooms. Owners were helpful and friendly.

Hands down the best restaurant serving Malaysian food in Vancouver so far. The location is a bit far if you are not anywhere near Surrey (this is near Guildford area), but after my first bite of the mee goreng, I decided I will make the trek out in future. It is so worth the trip. We ordered the tom yum soup with prawns (very similar to what you get to Thailand or in the Singapore/Malaysia region), mee goreng (it is so good!), lamb nasi briyani (equally tasty) and kampung fried rice with chicken (very yummy). We also ordered sambal which cost $1, and it was super spicy. All the dishes were delicious and would not be out of place at any coffee shop in Singapore. The taste was that authentic. Service was a bit slow as they were understaffed but they were very friendly and warm. Do not go in a big group as the space is limited. Probably could seat 16 customers or so. I will want to go back again to try the crispy fried chicken and the three tastes fish which is also highly recommended.

I came here on a hot day (when we were having the heat wave), hoping for some good food and AC. First of all, the customers were all sweating but the restaurant was hot and stuffy with only the door open. Second of all, we noticed by each of the table, there was a note saying "water $1 each." There were three groups and no one was served water on that hot day. One of the customers asked for water to which the person responded and got them water. He asked us after and when we asked him, "is water $1 each?" he scoffed and said loudly "why would you pay for water?" I found this pretty rude and sort of humiliating. I figured afterwards they probably meant bottled water but when you aren't served water until way after your food comes and there's a sign that says $1 water, it's pretty misleading. Now, on to the real review. Food. We got tofu goreng. It was pretty sweet and not bad. Nice to try a bite or two but I don't think I would order again. We also got lamb curry. The meat was pretty hard to chew. Curry itself was okay and my boyfriend really liked it. However, as you can see from the photos, it looks pretty lacking. Not really worth $13. Tom yam fried rice on the other hand was really delicious. It was spicy and very well cooked. Would be something I would order again. We also got Thai iced tea. There was a strong condensed milk taste and had not much more taste to it.

Came here as I read the good reviews, the place is small 6-7 tables. Clean place, ordered our food right away, and came before 20-30 minutes. Don't expect the service will be top, but ohh well it's cold and snowing heavy outside so might as well enjoy the food! We had the tom yum soup with coconut, fried fish pampamno with sauce and salted fried rice. All of them were all good, the dish fish pampano's sauce is already salty so make sure you order just the plain rice with it. I would for sure be coming back here, I really love the fish that they have. And would be trying more of what they serve.

One word : Teleportation. This restaurant serves bona fide Malaysian Thai cuisine without actually having to take a 20 hour flight to South East Asia. As a Singaporean here in Canada, Mek's Delights is indeed a delight. I had a couple of dishes here with my family and a friend. Roti Canai, Satay, Tom Yum, Mamak Mee Goreng. My stepdad had the lamb curry and it was superb. Oh, don't forget to try the popiah goreng, not sure what you guys call it here. The place is small yet cosy. Homely is the word I'm looking for. Truly, something every Canadian should try here in Guildford.

One of the better Malaysian restaurants I have dined at recently. Food was tasty! Service was friendly. Food took awhile to arrive as it seems like a busy take out joint in the area. The chicken dish was perfectly fried when it finally arrived. The roti was fluffy and the sauce was also very good. This is a very small restaurant, but clean. Parking at the back.

We came here with our friend who highly recommended the beef rendang. When we got there, we were informed that they were out of rendang. :( Then we decided to try the sambal squid.. but sadly, that was also not available! So, we ordered satay, which was not bad. However, they gave a very small amount of satay sauce to go with our double order so we asked for more but when it came, he gave us a big bowl and the sauce only filled the bottom 1/4 of the bowl. The chicken curry was very watery. The taste was just ok. They killed the mixed vegetables dish and it was also very salty. Their service was extremely slow. Every time we ordered something extra, it took forever for it to come, including the satay sauce which is something that is always ready. The place was relatively clean but very sparse in term of decor and ambience. The meal came to $60 for the 3 of us for the 3 dishes plus 3 orders of rice and an order of Roti Canai which was not the best value considering the taste. Perhaps if we got to try the rendang the score might have been different....

I have a love-hate relationship with this place. I LOOOOVE their food but their service isn't the best. It's a small restaurant run by a couple, the husband is the server and his wife is the cook, and they aren't the friendliest people out there. However, their food is SOOOO good in my opinion. We've tried almost everything on their menu, and so far none of them disappoints except for their Beef Rendang, which is not on par with their other dishes. Their Spicy Chicken is out of the world. It's so unique and flavorful, I've never had chicken in that way ever before. Their Fried Chicken&Fries is really good too, it's more flavorful than your normal fried chicken. I've been trying to restrain myself from coming back due to the bad service, but I can't help but crave their food. All in all, I'll recommend this place to you foodies out there that don't mind bad service as long as the food is really good.
