Their roti canai is to die for and their Kari laksa is packed with flavors. They typically also give complimentary tea for every table, which is a nice balance to everything you're eating. Given that it was a hot summer day when I had this, I got myself their milk tea which was nice and refreshing. A lot of people typically come here for their lunch breaks alone, and that alone makes it very cozy to be in.

The service is warm and efficient, adding to the overall comfortable experience. The Hainanese chicken could use a touch more seasoning, and the dipping sauce leans a bit too sweet for my taste, but the chicken itself is consistently cooked to perfection: tender, silky, and satisfying. The beef satay is another highlight, well-executed and flavorful. The Singapore rice noodles could use some refinement. They're properly seasoned, but lack anything distinctive to set them apart. The beef chow fun, on the other hand, is done well, the noodles hold their texture without breaking apart, and there's a nice portion of beef. And don't skip the treats at the counter, made fresh daily. The roast pork buns and curry puffs are definitely worth trying.

This spot is a 3-table operation focused entirely on perfecting Thai chicken rice--and they nailed it. ​The move here: ​The Chicken: Poached to absolute perfection. Tender, juicy, no fluff. ​The MVP: The chicken heart. It was so good I had to double down and order a second round. If you know, you know. ​The Rice: Fragrant ginger rice that actually has flavor, paired with a radish broth that hits the spot. ​The Sauce Science: They let you mix your own. I went with the soybean paste + ginger-scallion combo. It's addictive. Do not skip the ginger-scallion. ​Washed it all down with a solid Thai tea to balance the heat. It's a tiny shop with efficient service and zero ego. A total hidden gem. I'll be back. ​ 81-32 Broadway, Elmhurst ​#ElmhurstEats #QueensFood #KhaoMunKai

I am always a fan of these hyper specialist places because I figure if you only sell one dish it must be really good. The chicken is tender yet light on flavor, so the included sauces (one soy based and one chili sauce) are a must. However the rice was delicious and fragrant, a complementary pairing to the chicken. They also included some chicken gizzards and liver if you are a fan of those, but for me I could do with or without. Overall a solid place and worth a repeat visit in my book.

Chose Sumatera because I just wanted a nice hole-in-the-wall homely feel. Small but personalized experience and prompt service. For the food, lots of traditional dishes on the appetizers and main course section. I ordered the Batagor drenched in peanut sauce to warm up with flavor flooding. This is a popular Indonesian street food consisting of fried fish dumplings and tofu under a splash of peanut sauce, sweet soy sauce and lime juice. Something new and this dish hits well to start the visit. Main course, chose the Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng, a classic you can't beat. Since the food here is the closest authentic Indonesian spot in NYC, I had to try it here. Not one part of the dish was off. The coconut rice, spicy sambal, spiced deep fried chicken, crispy anchovies, peanuts and the fried egg complimented each other. This was a shared dish as my mom and I are tiny eaters but we cleaned the plate on this one. Secret operation was to introduce another restaurant to my mom and she was very pleased with this pick of mine. She grew up eating many forms of Southeast Asian cuisines from her childhood. It was a successful mission when you see your parent requesting to order the restaurant's sauce and extra takeout.

We started with a mango slushie (a little watered down and icy) and a Thai iced tea (delicious and creamy). Pata Yum Gai Zabb (3/5): Sadly, the dish was salty beyond belief! Luckily, mouthfuls of the plain white rice helped to balance the flavor. It was otherwise, also very bland in taste. It just tasted like soy sauce. I was expecting more for a dish considered in the "Michelin Bib Gourmand" recommendation. Pad Kee Mao (3/5): The noodles were not fully cooked and therefore hard/chewy for most of the dish. I similarly did not think that there was much flavor to it. Beef was not that tender.

I've had every ramen, and they're all amazing. Really really similar to ramens I've had in Japan. And then they also have some inventive fusion flavors, like chicken tikka masala ramen, which are also amazing. The Japanese curry is so good. I love getting it with pumpkin croquettes, but I've also gotten it with pork cutlet, chicken cutlet, with and without melted cheese on top, and honestly all combinations are great. The portions are perfect so I never leave feeling too full but I always leave feeling extremely satisfied. I've had the bao buns too, each type, and they're all so good. The beef gyudon is my favorite, but I've gotten it with teriyaki chicken too and that was also great. The waitstaff are pleasant, even when I bring my two screaming kids with me into their tiny restaurant, and they always have a smile ready. They don't even say anything when my 2 year old throws his entire cup of water on the floor. They just quietly come over and clean it up (while I apologize profusely), and they even bring a new cup of water over. Great place. I go at least twice a week. Couldn't love it more!
