Nothing to write about Roti canai 5/5 Great. No complains Chao kuay Tiao 5/5 The wok hei was great.. but the noodles were way too soft. read more

I thought the food here was good. I liked the texture of the roti canai bread. It was crispy and moist. The curry laksa was good too but it was too spicy for me. The dipping sauce for the roti canai was also a bit spicy. The service was great though and they were accommodating of my dietary preferences. read more

The summer rolls were really good & fresh and the vegetarian steak was absolutely delicious. The pad see ew was just okay but it didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping for. Service was quick, and the staff was super kind and accommodating. The menu is also really expansive, so there's definitely something for everyone. read more

I was excited to get Malaysian food from here, but when I tried to order online for pickup, I noticed there weren't any options to adjust the spice level. I thus decided to get the pad thai as I was worried about getting a very spicy dish. I also noticed that I couldn't choose pork online, so I had to get the default chicken, even though there are other meats listed on the menu. The pad thai was a very ordinary dish, as to be expected. I liked how it came with both chicken and tofu. It was a large portion size, although I did finish it all. I found out later I was charged a $1 "support local" fee, which I did not notice when making the order. I'm sure their dine-in experience is different, but the online ordering system was not enjoyable to use, and I am confused what a "support local" fee is. Their food looks really good, and I would have liked to try a Malaysian dish if I could adjust the spice level. read more

A Malaysian colleague recommended this restaurant (supposedly the Singaporean and Malaysian embassy staff cater from here whenever there are events) and I ordered some food from delivery and loved it! Got the Nasi lemak and curry laksa (dishes I've seen on travel shows as national dishes) and very much enjoyed the food. Will definitely order more in the future. read more

Satay Club is a diamond in the rough. The food there had some of the most interesting and complex flavors I have ever had. On the strength of that alone, I will probably be back. But the restaurant misses the mark in almost every category from overall food quality, presentation, service and atmosphere. First the diamond part (the good stuff). For starters, I had the pancakes and dipping sauce. The dipping sauce flavor was exciting and unique, rich and unusual. I saved the leftover sauce because I wanted to finish it all like soup. However, the pancakes were greasy, really greasy. To call them pancakes is incorrect; they were really deep-fried dough that had not been adequately drained or dried. And, overall, the presentation was messy. For our main courses, we had 2 dishes. The first was Nasi Lemak - a combo plate of shrimp, chicken skewers, fried egg and deep, deep, deeply fried chicken. The flavors were exotic and the combination of ingredients was interesting. I liked it but did not love it. In particular, the chicken, while delicious and juicy inside, was deep fried. It is something that I think should be "de-cholesterolized" in some way for American audiences. The second main course was Rendang Beef. This dish had a wonderful sauce that was exotic and deep, with lots of spices that I am not familiar with. The sauce was great. The meat, however, seemed too stringy and cheap - like they bought a low cost cut of beef to save money. The beef got caught in my teeth like a big dog and was unpleasant. But oh that sauce was divine! The service was good. The server really spent some time with us, trying to help us select our order. We both appreciated her willingness to spend time helping us. But she was not overly friendly. Also, her descriptions of the dishes left out things like "this dish is deep fried." It was hard to get utensils and, when we did, one set was complete while the other was missing a fork. And it took a long time to get them anyway. The same with our drinks which were never re-filled. I think the owners and the servers have to put themselves in the mindset of people who are NOT at all familiar with the food being served. The descriptions need to be more detailed. When describing the food, the servers should be careful to explain HOW a dish is prepared, not just provide a presentation of the ingredients. The atmosphere and dining room were probably adequate - but nothing more - for a neighborhood restaurant. It is not a fancy place and that is okay. I probably wouldn't even mention this if the food had been 100% perfect. Will I go back to Satay Club? Probably. But, if I return, it will be as a much more cautious and focused diner. I will ask LOTS of questions about the dishes I am considering. I will stay away from anything beef. I will stay away from anything deep fried. The exotic, luxurious and complex sauces will be what I set my sights on. If I can find them, that will change this review from mediocre to really good. With a very little effort on their parts, Satay Club could change from a "diamond in the rough" to a true diamond!!! read more

Really great food if you get the right dishes. Ask the servers what they recommend. The Nasi Lemak is incredible. Service is super quick and it's a chill ambiance. Super friendly. Mango sticky rice is to die for. read more

Okay spot, definitely hole in the wall but not impressive to me. No frills but not my favorite flavors.

This is my 'go-to' if I miss South East Asian food. I like everything I have tried so far: satay, kampung fried rice, nasi lemak, wonton noodle, mee goreng ....and definitely the signature chicken rice (need to order in advance). If I have a special occasion to celebrate, this is where I want to bring my VIP! Amy, Tony, Jane, Jyostna, Edmund, the team are amazing folks! - thank you for the warm hospitality, it is more than value for money when I eat here! Can't wait to return! read more

This might be the worst tasting Thai food I have ever had. Bland, oily, tasteless. I tried the red snapper which was deep fried in a tasteless sauce, the drunken noodles also very bland, and the chicken lettuce wrap was too salty and inedible. read more

Only have gotten takeout from here and they do a great job. Sometimes it's totally empty when I'm picking up food, others every single table is filled. Cse always get the general tso and it's a great portion with some broccoli. Honestly sometimes enough to split the meal with someone else. It comes with a small side of rice which I wish was slightly bigger. Have also had the stemmed pork dumplings which were good. And chicken lomein was okay. We order takeout at least monthly and this place is always consistently good and fast. read more

I love everything I have tried here so far: satay (of course!), Nasi Lemak, chicken rice (3 times!), Kampung fried rice, Cantonese seafood Horfun. Within a period of 6-8 weeks, I have come here more times than going to the sandwich place where I live, in Fairfax. The food is authentic, so if like me, you are homesick and craved SE Asian food. The staff and owners are so friendly, and it is just a treat coming here. I recently had an event here, With more than 30 people, there is no fuss at all, Amy and her staff made things so easy for us and everyone had a great time! Thank you! This has become one of my favorite restaurants and certainly worth my journey here. Highly recommend! read more

We were in the neighborhood and tried to find a place for dinner and turned to Yelp. This place has a lower rating than I expected, but if you actually read the reviews of the food, in particular the Malaysian food, they are pretty good (ie some of the bad reviews have nothing to do with the food or service or anything really). This place has many Asian cuisines but really come here for the Malaysian food. The laksa was amazing and I really regret not getting the roti canal because tables around us were getting it and it looked really good. One of the tables near us was Malaysian and I overheard them complementing the food. The place is very reasonably priced and the service was excellent. I don't particularly love Makan (it's very overpriced for decent food), so I'm glad I have a place to get Malaysian food now. read more

A pan-Asian restaurant which specializes in Malaysian cuisine and also offers Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese and Thai dishes. The Curry Laksa is the standout, although it's hard to go wrong with any selections. And the prices are extraordinarily reasonable for this area and age. read more

Satay Club - Curry Laksa - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We got Satay Club delivered yesterday and were very disappointed, primarily with the lack of care that they gave while packaging our food to go. We ordered Malaysian curry, Thai fried rice, scallion pancakes, and two orders of vegetarian dumplings. The curry lid was not on securely and it leaked everywhere. The bag was dripping when I got it from the driver and dripped all over my floor and kitchen. It stained our hardwood floors. There wasn't much liquid left so the curry was basically marinated veggies and tofu. It also seeped into the fried rice, which made it difficult to enjoy as the spice level was an issue. The lid to the soy sauce container in one of the dumplings box looked like it had melted, so the soy sauce had entirely spilled out and soaked the bottom of the dumplings, making them inedible. Perhaps it was Uber Eats' app, but there were no descriptions for what kinds of things would be included in each dish, so there were some really surprising elements that one wouldn't expect of Thai fried rice or dumplings. There were veggies like zucchini, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts and peanuts in the fried rice, generally things that people with an intolerance or allergy might not think to warn against when ordering. The dumplings had quinoa in them, also not something expected. I do have issues with things like zucchini, and my face was flushed after eating what I could of the meal, and I don't usually have that kind of reaction to food (I avoided the zucchini as best I could). What we could eat was really disappointing. The fried rice had a weird flavor, the dumpling wrappers were thick and the texture of the filling with the quinoa was off-putting. The scallion pancakes were actual pancakes with some green onion in them, and were grease bombs. We were given a full refund from Uber Eats for this issue and we will not be returning. I am disappointed seeing all these really other positive reviews that we didn't get the same level of experience. Perhaps it's different for in-person dining than delivery, so I caution folks against doing delivery! read more

I am prepared to admit that I may have ordered not one, but two of the wrong things, but one should not necessarily have to worry about striking out after diversifying like that. I picked up takeout and we got an order of tofu basil and an order of drunken noodle. They were both kind of gross and soggy, lacking much in the way of either flavor, spice, depth, or what have you. I was especially impressed at how they were able to make the drunken noodle both soggy and oily. Add a seaweed salad and we were up at 50 bucks. I have regrets and I have questions. Please note that I leave one star reviews extremely sparingly because I can usually find something redeeming in a dining experience, even if the food was not amazing. Such was sadly not the case with this place. read more

Visited Satay Club for the first time recently. Loved it!! Service was great and the food was yummy! The ambiance was fine but I originally had the misfortune of sitting next to 2 families with kids. But I requested to be moved and the staff graciously accommodated. At my new table, I made new friends who were sitting at the next table! Wonton noodles were my fave!! Will def recommend and return! read more

I have been to this establishment numerous times and they have proven to be reliably delightful in both food and service. Satay Club has a small but very cute interior, which provides for a homey feel. Each time I have eaten at Satay Club, I have ordered different sushi rolls from their regular menu and the special house sushi menu. Their mango tango roll is an all time favorite and is truly a work of art. The mango awakens the taste buds, followed by the satisfaction of the savory sushi filling. The crunchy spicy tuna and crunchy spicy salmon rolls are a perfect balance of spicy and savory, with the crunchy flakes to top it off. I could go on and on but you get the idea... The staff has also been very respectful and efficient every time I have eaten here, and they are FAST. They have shown to be in tune with what customers need when they need something, while allowing for a private dining experience. I would also recommend their fried ice cream. It's different from most fried ice cream i've had in that the dough is thicker and the ice cream has hints of coconut- delicious! That being said, I will definitely be eating here again. read more

We made a same day reservation for 6 which was accommodated, and our table was ready when we arrived. I started with the roti canai, which was served with a very light curry broth. The broth could have been a little thicker to stick to the pancake, but I loved the Indian pancakes! My companions enjoyed the summer roll and the hot and sour soup. Pad Thai, drunken noodles and pad see eew were all good, but the wide noodles and sauce on the drunken noodles were my favorite! read more

We took an out of state friend who was craving Malaysian food and we all loved it! Roti canai, char kway teow, laksa... All hit the spot. Especially appreciated the vegetarian options. The only thing we didn't care for was the inari sushi which had way too much vinegar but given that it wasn't a Japanese restaurant, they are more than forgiven given everything they advertised themselves as was superb. read more

Delicious and great value! I've been going here off and on for a few years, and the food is always amazing. It's pan asian, but their speciality is Malaysian cuisine. Favorites are the curry laksa, any of the curries, chicken satay, drunken noodles, and the roti canai. During lunch, they have a great $10 deal for a salad, chicken satay, and a lunch entree! Staff is friendly as well. Can't recommend enough. If you like hot sauce, be sure to ask for some sambal! read more

I stopped by after getting sushi craving and driving by. I checked the reviews and I have to say I feel like this place deserves better reviews! I came in and sat at a table by myself. There were about three other groups seated. The menu has a lot of options! Lots of different rice and noodle entrees in addition to sushi. My waitress was quick. I ordered miso soup and the Osaka roll. Miso soup was standard, pretty tasty. My Osaka roll was really good! The rolls are a generous size. About 8-9 big rolls. The Osaka roll has bbq eel, tamago, tobiko, tuna, avocado, and scallions. The flavors came together really well. The fish was good quality, and it was cool that tamago egg came on the roll because i haven't seen too many rolls with that. Would visit again to try some other rolls and noodle dishes! read more

Fast delivery, friendly customer service, good prices & delicious tasting Sushi for a working lunch. Me: BBQ Eel with Avocado Roll w/ Brown Rice, which I gave to my Co-Worker. Not many spots offer Brown Rice, especially during lunchtime. I ordered Spring Rolls, yet the Vietnamese Shrimp Summer Roll arrived, so that too went to my Co-Worker. Co-Worker: Smoked Salmon Roll & Cream Cheese, Spicy Scallop Roll & her dessert was the Honey Fried Bananas. I was going to taste one, yet the batter looked to delicious not to be washed with egg. If the old school way of phoning in your order doesn't fit with your schedule, order online. From the time I placed the order to when the Delivery Man arrived, just 26 minutes. Cheap lunch prices with the portion fitting the price & we both enjoyed. Extra kudos to the oh so kind Delivery Guy Renaldo, who delivered us again the next day...Co-Worker ordered the same thing but in 2's. read more
