    1. Chow Kueh Teow
    Andy C.

    Been back a few times recently. Much happier with the service. Food came out comically quick for our last visit. Ambience is fine. There's some interesting lighting if you're moved towards the back of the main dining room. The bathrooms are also freshly renovated so it's clean and solid now, which is a plus. Chow kueh teow and the kang kung belacan are my staples here. The crispy golden fried squid is excellent, with light batter and good flavors. The Malaysian style spare ribs are intense and rich. Hainanese chicken is a bit bland and needs sauce.

    I've been craving authentic Peranakan food for a while, and I'm so glad I found this gem! The kangkung belachan and crispy squid tasted exactly like how my popo (grandma) used to make them! so nostalgic and absolutely delicious. I'm droooooling yuuummm

    Hainanese chicken with rice
    Angela L.

    My cousin and I came here for a late night dinner. Inside was larger than it looked from the outside. We both had hainanese chicken with rice. They warned us that the chicken was cold but we knew what it was. They also made sure we knew it was cash only. We saw. They gave a generous portion of chicken and rice. When you order it is the luck of the draw. I got all white meat with nary a bone while my cousin got all dark meat with lots of bone. Both white and dark was tender and delicious but I felt like I got more meat. The rice was very flavorful. The spicy dipping sauce was not too hot. The waitress kept our water glasses full and was attentive. It was a solid meal.

    Affordable, authentic Malaysian food in Chinatown--literally not a single dish I didn't like! My family and friends raved about Nyonya. Compared to other Malaysian restaurants I've been to in NYC, the dishes here felt lighter and less oily. The menu is huge, and there's so much I still want to try. *Roti Canai 印度麵包 $6.5 * Their signature appetizer: the flakiest flatbread I've ever had, plus they even put a piece of chicken in the curry sauce on the side! *Beef Satay 沙爹牛串 $15.95 ** I often find beef skewers overcooked and tough, but here they got it perfect. Tender, charred, and with plenty of satay peanut sauce. *Sarang Burong 佛砵飄香 $21.95 ** Possibly the most underrated Malaysian dish and my personal favorite. The fried lace mashed taro is shaped like a bird's nest and topped with shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, and veggies. Similar to a taro puff pastry dim sum, and I swear any taro lover would love this. *Nasi Lemak 椰漿飯 $15.95 * I couldn't leave a drop because the curry was that good. Coconut milk rice made every bite even better. *Hainanese Chicken 海南雞 $13.95 (¼), $17.95 ( 1/2) Super silky, tender chicken, and the portion made the price totally worth it. *Coconut Pudding 椰子凍 They treated us to this coconut pudding on the house, which normally comes in a coconut shell. I was stuffed, but it was so light that I still finished every bite. *Malaysian Iced Coffee 馬來咖啡冰 $5.5 As always, malaysian coffee was way too sweet for me since it's mixed with condensed milk...

    Came here for Chinese New Year lunch after walking around Chinatown and enjoying the festivities. There was a bit of a wait, about 15 mins, but they are very efficient and turn the tables over quick.It was a bit crowded and loud since it was Chinese New Year but it did not seem like tables were on top of one another. They had a special menu for the lunar new year but we stuck with our tried and true Hainanese and Thai Chicken, a few Roti Canais, and some skewers. Their food came out quick, but they did not forfeit flavor over speed.

    Food: This restaurant's food is delicious! We tried the roti canai, beef satay skewers. curry fish, Indian Mee Goreng, and stir fried water spinach. All dishes were very tasty and enjoyable. The roti canai was perfectly crispy and thin. Beef skewers were moist and juicy with an excellent satay dipping sauce. The fish had great flavor but was definitely a bit overcooked and dry in some parts. The Indian Mee Goreng and stir fried water spinach were our favorites and so flavorful. They have a very extensive menu of authentic Malaysian dishes. Service: Service was excellent and staff are so warm and friendly! Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size and can accommodate both large and small groups. Seating is a bit tight, and tables are placed very closely together, but the overall ambiance is great. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    We got some pretty good food. Hainan chicken, beef rendang, chicken flavored rice, some pearl noodles, and the roti canai. This place is cash only, but there is a generic atm right at the front of the store. Food came out quickly and it wasn't too busy on a Wednesday night so it was nice to have a chat here.

    3. Curry Mee with Shredded Chicken
    Alyssa C.

    Walked in on a Saturday night and was seated immediately. Tons of seating for an amazing Michelin guide Malaysian restaurant! Able to easily accommodate parties of all sizes and fast service. Cash only. Tried the curry mee chicken. Absolutely blew my mind. Need to return to try their roti canai, roti telur, hainanese chicken and beef rendang.

    1. Chow Kueh Teow
    Najiha M.

    I tried Nyonya and ordered the char kuey teow, mee curry, mee goreng, and roti canai. Overall, it was okay. The service was slow and coming from a Malaysian, I wouldn't say it's super authentic, but it's still very good and definitely satisfies the craving. The best dish by far was the mee curry. The broth was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. That one really stood out. Everything else was okay however I feel like the char kuey teow could have been darker and used flat noodles, and the mee goreng could have used more taste. Still a great spot if you're craving malay food!

    1. Roti Canai (Original, Thin & Crispy)
    Allena C.

    We stayed at the NobleDen hotel across the street from Nyonya, so it was convenient on the rainy night we arrived. Luckily, we were seated right away. The restaurant had plenty of patrons and had many tables to accommodate them as well. A busy restaurant is a good sign! But don't forget to bring your cash to this establishment, because they don't take credit cards. I believe there was an ATM inside or close to the restaurant for your convenience. Their menu is extensive, so it took a bit of time to decide on what to order. ***OUR PICKS*** ROTI CANAI ~ (original thin and crispy) Malaysian all-time favorite, thin and crispy pancake with curry dipping sauce. This was flaky, crispy and chewy. Great texture! Very much like I've had at other good, Malaysian restaurants. The curry that comes with the roti was flavorful and not too spicy with a piece of chicken and potato. Great starter! 5/5 DUCK GINGER NOODLE SOUP ~ Special egg noodles served in homemade sauce or broth with ginger duck meat, vegetables & scallions. Tasty duck, though the pieces were small, so you have to be careful with many little bones. Noodles still had some crisp to them, so it wasn't soggy. They're just like the thin egg noodles you would get with wontons. Nice and comforting on a rainy evening. 5/5 CURRY MEE WITH YOUNG TAU FOO ~ Egg noodles served in a spicy lemongrass coconut curry, tofu, and vegetables stuffed with minced fish. Flavorful curry with lots of vegetables! Noodles were cooked just right. Loved it! 5/5 KANG KUNG BELACAN ~ Stir-fried water spinach with belacan, a Malaysian shrimp paste, typically includes chillies for added spice. Not too spicy, but seasoned well enough. A bit salty, but we enjoyed it. It probably would have been great with plain, white rice. 4/5 We totally forgot to get our 10% discount, which is given to NobleDen hotel guests. Nevertheless, we were happy with our meal. It was great to warm up with some comforting soup and noodles on our first night in New York.

    1. Hainanese Chicken
    Amy C.

    Such a staple in NYC Chinatown! My go-to dishes are the fried pearl noodles and the Hainan chicken. The fried pearl noodles are these teardrop-shaped noodles tossed over high heat for that smoky wok-hei flavor - great texture from the crunchy veggies and a solid amount of protein. The Hainan chicken is refreshing and tender. I enjoy the soy sauce it comes with; the chili sauce was a bit watered down for my taste, so I skipped it. My only small qualm is that the Thai iced tea tastes a bit artificial, but definitely not a dealbreaker. This spot is still always in my regular Chinatown rotation. Service is fast and the food always comes out fresh!

    It's been over 5 years since we last came here. And thats way too long! Everything was really good and packed with flavor (except the okra - but that was still good). We enjoyed all of the flavors and would recommend most of the menu. The roti is a MUST to start. The fried noodle and rice dishes we got were amazing. This is comfort food at its finest!

    As a Malaysian, this hits the spot! I wasn't expecting much but each dish was flavorful. The curry was decadent, sambal had a great crunch from the onions and surprisingly the archar was delightful. 10/10

The lobster is a little chewy, but the spicy claws were very flavorful. All of the crab had so much meat and the seasonings were all amazing. Surprisingly, the iron steak was one of our favorites despite this being a seafood spot. The waiter did say to just check mark the paper instead of quantities, but they end up bringing you 2 of everything you order. The sweet & spicy fish is also very solid, garlic noodles were buttery, and even their iced tea was super refreshing. Could not recommend this place more!! Bonus: they play a great 2000s throwback playlist that got us singing along and dancing while we were peeling all our seafood to pass the time. Shoutout to whichever employee put that playlist together!

This is exactly the kind of place that works well when you need something fast but still high quality. Service stood out. Jeanine was excellent; she quickly understood our time constraint, guided us to the right dishes, and kept everything moving without making it feel rushed. At one point we accidentally put a plastic menu over a lit candle, and she handled it immediately and made the moment feel light rather than awkward. The atmosphere was lively and full; the place was packed, but it still felt organized rather than chaotic. The bar looked well stocked, and the overall ambience worked well for a pre-train, Times Square-adjacent stop. Food was solid, with a few standouts. The salmon tartare with sesame crackers was excellent; clean, fresh, and well balanced. Jeanine recommended the shrimp avocado sliders, and that was the right call; they were outstanding. Happy hour oysters were fresh and well balanced. Littleneck clams were good, though slightly less compelling than the oysters. The fish tacos were good but not particularly memorable. Fried calamari was well executed, though the accompanying sauce could have used a little more flavor. The hot sauce, assuming it is made in house, was excellent and added a much better punch to the seafood. Drinks from the happy hour menu, including the Pink Flamingo and margarita, were good and consistent. I would come back to try more from the main menu. If you like seafood, this is a strong option for the price point and location, especially during happy hour.

Third visit was date night and we shared the crab fried rice (obviously a must), the coconut crab curry, okay I totally get the hype now because it was DELICIOUSSSSS and the pork belly chili garlic. The flavors were amazing, super bold and savory, but we personally didn't care for the pork itself. Still definitely worth trying if you're a pork lover. At this point Fish Cheeks is becoming one of my favorite spots in the city. The food is flavorful, fun to share, and every visit somehow tops the last.
