Delicious food, fast and accommodating service. Make reservations ahead of time just to be sure but they work very hard to get you in even if you don't have a reservation. read more

Wish there was an option to give 4 and a half stars, cause I'm puzzled! Delivery took over 55 min and I was missing my lunch break time but a lady on the phone explained to me that it was a rush hour, she was extremely polite and sweet which is why I wasn't upset. The sushi was absolutely delicious, now I just wish I ordered more, I'll most certainly be coming back guys :) read more

I'd say more of a 3.25 stars...Great service, polite staff. The food was a mix. Had some pad thai which was really, really good. We had some sushi which was on the better end. For an appetizer we had some chiken satay which was ok and then some malay wings. Now the wings barely had any meat on them and I felt sorry for the poor malnourished chicken that they got them from. Not much flavor either. The prices were great, but overall there are better places within this price range that servce similar food. read more

You know how sometimes you have great "ethnic" food that's not really authentic but is still really tasty in its own right? Yeah, this is not that. The proprietors sound like they're Chinese Malaysian which is sad because that chewy, baking soda textured beef in their beef rendang (a Malaysian dish) really deserves 1 star. I'm feeling generous... but yeah I wouldn't go here if I were you. read more

The beef rendang had absolutely no flavor and was somehow both tough & mushy. I can't speak to the other food but this was a big let down given the other reviews. Perhaps the only redeeming quality was that the food came out less than 10 min after we ordered (during peak Friday dinner). read more

I love this place so much, you never miss here. People are so friendly food always hits the spot. I stopped with my puppy and they brought out water for her. Super great service!! read more

This is our new go-to delivery spot. It has it all: sushi, pad see ew, fried rice, great appetizers - the variety is great and the quality is even better. read more

A group of co-workers and I came here for lunch, and we were guided in our ordering choices by an Indonesian co-worker who helped us choose a variety of noodle and curry dishes, all of which were very well received by the group. We also used the Yelp check-in special for a dessert to share. By the end of our meal, we were all stuffed, and it was a pretty decently priced meal, as well, as far as NYC restaurant prices go. The highlight of coming here, though, was the gracious hosts. We happened to be in on a slow day, so the owner chatted with us a bit throughout our meal, personally checked in on us to see how we were liking our food, and was generally very attentive to our dining experience. read more

Came here because they have a lunch special and were advertising their halal options. I'm always weary when a restaurant is absolutely empty, and this proved my suspicions since the food was fairly sub-par. The taste was off and the food took ages to prepare. I ordered in advance, and they still took over 40 minutes to make my food. I usually love Malaysian food but this spot was a miss. read more

I enjoyed my food here and thought the restaurant was cute. We had the chicken satay as an appetizer and it was delicious. My only complaint was there wasn't more of it. It was kinda pricy for a few pieces of chicken, but it was very tasty. Then we had the rendang beef and it was very good. This was also pricy for the amount we got, but we enjoyed it. Service was good. read more

My friend and I decided to try this place out because we wanted to try a new place we hadn't been to before and we were quite pleased. We ordered the nasi lemak, roti canai, and the crispy chili fried chicken. All of the dishes were delicious, but the winners for me were the roti canai and the crispy chili fried chicken. The fried chicken was incredibly flavorful and had just the right amount of heat to keep me salivating for more. I also checked in via Yelp and got a free dessert, tapioca pearls in coconut milk (I think there may have been a hint of coffee in there as well). Food aside, the service was also awesome. The wait staff were really friendly and it just made the dining experience all the better. Overall, this place is a total win and I'll definitely be coming back here. Pro-tips: - get the crispy chili fried chicken! you're welcome! - the roti is really hot! be careful with your fingers! read more

Okay go here for the Malaysian, not the sushi. I learned that from my friends who live in the 'hood, and I haven't been let down. Their menu is comprehensive with lots of authentic home cooking. It's pretty easy to get a table, and the prices are reasonable. Definitely a safe bet for a solid meal! read more

I came here on an early week night for dinner. I found the service to be very good, and the food to be mediocre. When I walked in, I was seated immediately (though my party was not complete) and offered warm tea (it was an unseasonably chill day). I had the roti canai and the spicy fried rice with peanuts and chicken. The roti was a bit thick and oily. I also found the portion size to be on the stingy side. The fried rice was tasty, the meat in it was nice and tender, there was a spicy sauce on the side for extra kick. I also took a thai tea to go, which was sweet and strong and had just the right amount of milk. Overall the food wasn't memorable, but not bad. The service was very good. I do plan to come back and try some other dishes. I recommend this place only if you happen to be in the area and are craving Malaysian or if you have a halal eater in your group and want to try something different. read more

Good food... a nice place to enjoy Malaysian good and cool ambience with awesome service...

Delicious food! Came here with 2 friends on a Saturday night and didn't have an issue getting a reservation. We tried the Roti Canai, which was delicious! I always tend to order the Drunken noodles at every Thai restaurant so had to try them here. These definitely rank on the high end of the several Drunken noodle dishes I've tried. Great place for dinner with friends or a first date. read more

Yummy yummy in my tummy. Love the "police" server, cute and courteous. Wait staff could not be nicer. Had the Salmon pizza and it was a gastronomic moment of joy. The Seeker chardonnay was a fruity grapefruit delight. A must stop by when on 8th street. read more

We had the Murtabak, Nasi Kerabu and Nasi Lemak. The Murtabak was okay. Kind of a samosa-y taste, which is good but not what I was expecting. The Nasi Lemak and the Nasi Kerabu were both delicious. Both authentic (from my perspective) and both what I was expecting. I loved the sambal and the curry, pretty much everything that I tasted. The service, of course, was excellent. I would definitely like to come back next time I am in New York. read more

Came here to get my Malaysian food fix. Good ambience, good food and friendly service :)

Atmosphere was nice and the food was alright. Can get very crowded during dinner. The roti canai was good.. Wished the curry was more substantial but still ate every bit of it. I had the rendang beef. Good amount of spice. I forgot what my girl ordered but I attached the picture. read more

The service was slow when only 10 people in the place. The food was just ok, I expected more, something to knock my socks off, very disappointed, especially when we read the menu before deciding to there. read more

My wife and I grabbed dinner here a few days ago. The staff is pretty friendly and seated us fairly quickly. The menu does look really good and they have a lot of variety in terms of food choices. However, I wasn't sure of the pricing vs portion size. We decided to share the Laksa and the Crispy Fried Chili Chicken. The Laksa, I will admit was pretty good. The chicken dish was also decent, but $17 for a fairly small amount of chicken felt like twilight robbery. Overall, the food was ok, but nothing to write home about. If I find myself in the area, I may or may not come back - fairly nondescript experience (soured slightly by the pricing). read more

Fried calamari met my expectations! Service is rushed, so you don't feel like you can take your time and eat at your own pace. The employees are extremely stingy and insist on tips! Not appreciated at all. Overall, food was tasty, however poor service. read more

Yummy Malaysian food! Had the Crispy fried chili chicken w/ rice & a mango mojito. Good Lawd, so goood! I recommend this place if you love Asian food! Check it out in Greenwich Village, my fave place in NY! read more

Ordered delivery - I was disappointed in the portions of roti and curry received. Ordered two portions but only received what looked like one. I called the restaurant to confirm and they said it was two portions. I've ordered the roti previously so was surprised to see that the portion was now half the size. Happy to support restaurants like Rasa during the pandemic, but next time please continue to provide your usual portions when it's also more expensive than usual. read more

I'd give 3.5 stars if theres a choice to do so. Foods were fine. Had crispy calamari, tofu salad, sambal shrimp and curry chicken noodles. Would recommend the salad and curry noodles, but Dont visit w a groupon, it wont save u much and u would have limited your choices to their special menu... read more

Great food and service. Walked in on a Friday night and didn't have to wait. Ordered curry Roti for appetizer (the portion is a little small). Ordered stir fried noodles and hainanese chicken for main. They are both very delicious. The hainanese chicken comes with ginger rice and chicken soup that are both very good. The noodle dish is very tasty but a little on the salty side. Overall really great experience. Will be coming back!!! read more

The food was ok. But I feel it was rather pricey compared to other Malaysian restaurants in town.

Rasa is the best Malaysian restaurant that I have been to( more pricey) by far, the second one I would say Malay restaurant and the third New Curry Leaves Malaysian in Flushing compared to all other ones like Papparich, Santosa and New Pinang ( these three I wouldn't recommend at all). read more

The food was just ok. Service was good but the quality of food has decreased tremendously compared to when it was first opened few years back. We ordered the nasi Lemak, the curry was not good and the rice was mushy and just don't taste like the nasi lemak at all. Mee goreng was way too salty, beef rendang was kind of tasteless I felt like they just microwaved and serve it. Curry puff was the only item that was still quite good. Overall a big disappointment and I don't think I will be returning read more

Probably the saddest sushi I've ever eaten. I am honestly not picky about sushi at all and even find it very difficult to come across BAD sushi. I ordered the shrimp tempura, eel avocado, and sweet potato rolls for delivery and after this experience I am so surprised on how badly sweet potato can be messed up. It was raw and instead of tempura, I got some random clear jelly? Shrimp tempura was super bland. Eel avocado was decent but mediocre at best. The reason why it doesn't deserve 1 star is because the delivery was pretty fast. Otherwise, super shitty sushi. read more

Amazing food, very authentic and lots on the menu. We shared many dishes between us which is definitely the way to do it as everything we tried was incredible. Also the service was great. read more

The plating was horrible. The curry thing and pad Thai was average at best. Tom yum was good. Don't recommend

An incredible restaurant with wonderfully friendly staff. The food is authentic, and my party's orders were delivered promptly. Staff checked in with us to see how the food was received, and explained how some dishes were prepared depending on our interest level. Each of our orders were flavourful, and had good presentations. Our party was more than satisfied with the food quality, and the dinner service. This space is truly a refuge from the hustle of the city, and warms your heart with the flavours of Asia. As a visitor, this experience was second to none. Our party makes a point of coming back here when we visit. read more

I am from Indonesia and I have to say that this place feels like home! I love the indonesian dishes like the nasi goreng, mee goreng, and sambal terasi, their best dish is the salted egg yolk crab! It's soo good! Don't forget to have the keropok and sambal with your dishes. It's a really good place to try out some southeast asian food, such as indonesia, malaysia, and singapore. It's voted the best malaysian food in manhattan and rasa deserves it! It's also the best indonesian food in manhattan too! read more

Rasa - This place has INDONESIAN food. Love the salted egg crab, mee goreng, and nasi goreng - Malaysian Near Me - New York, New York

Delicious food! The flavors were rich and service was great. They had a great selection to choose from and the quantity was amazing!

My Singaporean friends recommended this place. Authentic!!!! Hainanese Chicken Rice. Love! The chicken's juicy!!! Hokkien Fried Prawn Mee & Kampung Fried Rice has great 'wok-energy'!!! To round it off, we had the Malaysian Ice Kachang... OMG pure gula melaka (Brown sugar) air-flown from Malaysia! This ice is beyond perfection! My Singaporean friends said this is the best Ice Kachang ever even better than what they had in Singapore! Service's awesome! People are very nice here! If I can give them one hundred stars, I will! read more

I came here for dinner with my family, including a child and a baby, and the service was absolutely wonderful. They were great about bringing out hot water for the baby, were so nice when the kid broke a dish. A+ for service. The food was also quite nice and portions are large. The roti canai was great, sambal was very good, as was the nasi lemak. Lamb curry was okay, not great. It can get a bit loud in here, but overall nice ambience. Great place for family gatherings or a group of friends. Will come back. read more
