This is a no frills Malaysian restaurant in a small shopping center on the outskirts of downtown Flushing. We've gone back several times for the roti canai, surang burang, curry chicken and beef/chicken satay skewers. All delicious! However, the other dishes we've tried there have not really impressed - beef rendang, hainanese chicken, lobak, prawn mee, Asam Laksa. read more

Awesome service. Food has excellent flavor. Our favorites are Hainanese and spicy Thai chicken with Roti Cana's and Beef Satay as appetizers!!! read more

I've been a loyal customer at Satay for over 20 years, and it remains one of my all-time favorite Malaysian restaurants! The food is very authentic. During my recent visit, I ordered the roti canai, a delicious Malaysian flatbread served with curry, along with some hokkien mee and satay chicken. Every bite was simply amazing! But let me tell you, the hokkien mee stole the show once again. Its rich and flavorful taste is unmatched, making it a standout dish at this restaurant. If you're ever in the mood for some authentic Malaysian cuisine, I highly recommend giving Satay a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Satay - 64. Hokkien Mee, 1. Roti Canai - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

We ordered a few things to share. The shrimp with scrambled egg didn't taste so good and the shrimp weren't cleaned which was a major turn off. The best dish was the chicken with potatoes curry. Delicious and comforting, everything a curry should be. Beef with scallions and ginger was decent but the beef was in tiny little pieces. Will always come back for the curry though. read more

Came here to eat with my mom and my service dog and was turned away even after showing the manager my service dog's license. I was so embarrassed and shocked to see this happen in New York City. I tried to explain to them that this was NOT an emotional support animal, and that he is a service animal who performs a task. I felt so discriminated against for my disability and I will never come back here. The management clearly does not understand NY State law and has no empathy towards people with special needs. read more

I like this place for their reasonably priced drinks, curry flavors, and vegetable dishes. My favorite dish is the yong tofu which is stuffed eggplant. The roti tissue is paper thin and crispy which I like better than the other roti. It even works very well during delivery if it is carefully bagged. It breaks apart easily. The milk drinks are worth the price, and not too sweet. Mix it up if the sugar settles on the bottom. read more

Delicious! This restaurant has probably been here for years and I can't believe I've been driving past all this time. It's rare to find Malaysian restaurants around here anymore. This reminded me of Sentosa back when it was still around. The Hainanese chicken was flavorful and NOT dry. Roti canai with curry dip is my favorite and this spot did not disappointment! I will definitely be returning. Parking may be an issue. Be prepared to circle blocks looking for parking or paying meter if there's any available. read more

Been coming here the last 20 years and the food is still the same ! by far the best Malaysian food in the tri state area. My kids love the Indian bread. The service is so fast, we ordered and withing two minutes everything was on our table (except the grilled meat) The level of spiciness is on point, not too spicy. I was craving this place as I have not been here in over two years and the service and food was still just as good as it was 20 years ago. Its very nostalgic. Everything about this place was bomb. We always ordered the chicken and rice noddle beef and it was just like home cooking ! They have parking but its only a couple out front but down the block there is plenty of street parking. Its also right next to a supermarket an bakery so you can walk off all the food you eat. Great for big families as we had a stroller with us. Place always has regulars that this place is always busy but not too busy. read more

I was working in Queens the other day when a few of us decided to order in lunch. I'm not too familiar with eateries in the area, but one of my colleagues had mentioned Satay and suggested we order from there. I skimmed the menu and it looked great, so I got excited for some lunch from a spot that was new to me. Satay mainly serves Malaysian food, and the menu has a good variety of dish types that can appeal to a variety of consumers. We decided to order a few dishes to share, but I specifically had the roti canai and the chow kueh teow. The roti was really good - it was served almost in a ball where you had to rip and dip into the provided curry. Now that I think about it, the roti may have been in a ball due to packaging for takeout - but rolled or unrolled, it was good - slightly chewy and the curry it came with was full of flavor. The chow kueh teow was really good - traditionally it comes with a number of proteins, but I only had beef. I'm not normally a fan of rice noodles, but I didn't mind them here; they were cooked well, and the protein, veggies, and sauce made it a solid dish. They also didn't skimp on the protein which I appreciated. Overall, I enjoyed my meal at Satay. The food was tasty and high quality; I would definitely consider ordering from them again next time I'm working in Queens. read more

I normally go to a different restaurant for Malaysian food in Flushing area but wanted to try something new. After been searching for Malay food in the same area I saw this restaurant has plenty of good reviews so decided to try. Restaurant entrance is a bit confusing because there is some food tent right next to it and kinda blocks it if coming from the side of the building. The food is ready pretty quickly and they ONLY take CASH. I got Roti Canai and Mee Goreng. I was looking forward to eating them but the food was very disappointing. I was shocked that there is no meat in Mee Goreng but potato, tofu and few pieces of shrimp which most of those were overcooked and burnt I couldn't even eat them. I am actually a tofu lover but they were so bad that I had to put them aside to throw away. And I hate wasting food ! It was such a waste of food and money. What I learned from this is that I can't trust the reviews until I really try it myself. I won't be back here again and I will not recommend other people to try. *Note: Roti Canai was ok. It's not worth the hype. I've had better. read more

Wanting something a little different, my partner and I ordered Satay for dinner on a weekday night. I've had a bit of Malaysian food in my life but not in a long while, so I was excited to see some familiar dishes on the delivery menu. Ultimately, the side bread dishes were our favorites. The Roti Canai and Roti Tissue had some similarities, but I recommend getting both, especially if you have a group, since they're both a good amount for the price. The Roti Tissue was unlike anything I've ever had before - I kept coming to a "healthier funnel cake." It had such a nice, subtle sweetness and airy texture. The Gado Gado salad seemed a bit heavier on the jicama than I remember, and I was a little confused about which sauce was supposed to go with it since we got so many different containers. (Probably a rookie problem, but some labels would have helped.) The Ginger Scallion Duck with egg noodles was a good deal (less than $10), though all the duck had bones, so it made eating the dish a little complicated. I look forward to ordering from Satay again. read more

Delivery review Roti canai came with a delicious curry dipping sauce. The roti was okay, but defiantly much better when fresh. Hainanese chicken was okay. Decent flavor. The hot garlic sauce on the side is great. The Hainanese rice is a must. Malaysian pork chop sauce is really good. The fried pork chop lost its crisp on delivery. Probably a better meal for dine in than delivery. read more

So I ordered through an app and arrived promptly at the "ready time". 25 minutes later, I finally get my food. I ordered a chicken curry entree (less protein and comes with rice) and a beef curry entree which cost at least $10 more (I don't remember prices to the exact). The pricing is fine, I know beef costs more and I would be getting more of it. Wrong. That was half a did and doubled the price. The food was delicious and I'll probably come back one day despite the terrible service but I'm not going to order beef entrees anymore . read more

Malaysian Style Breakfast Satay - 46-01 Kissena Blvd, Flushing, NY Breakfast Available only Wednesday to Sunday 7am-10am - but they are open 7 days a week.. . I woke up earlier than I would for work, because my bf said we had to in order to get the breakfast, and it's only available in the morning. But let me explain... . The morning version (as I would call it), is the ability to choose your items, a variety of fried fish cake, fried taro cake, fried wontons, fish cake, fried tofu skin, eggplant, fried tofu, and stuffed hot peppers. After choosing your items, you then choose dry noodles (which comes with a side of curry sauce) or wet, which comes in the curry sauce and your choice of noodles (flat noodles, egg noodles, thick noodles, etc) they also offer a variety of fried noodles as well as steamed rice noodles, pig skin and lotus wrapped rice... no way I could eat more than I already had... . Not 100% sure of the pricing but we suspect that the base price is $4 (which are the noodles) and $1 each for the items you choose... my bf 5 items and I got 4 items our total came out to $17... . Trust me guys, this was so worth it. I don't know how Malaysians eat this for bfast, I mean, after this, you're not eating until dinner. It was too early for me, I ate about half... I took the rest to go. The curry is so coconuty and creamy. It's not spicy, maybe a little but bearable for me. I believe it's the same curry you get when you order the roti, minus the chicken... . Don't fret though, they have this on their regular menu as well, except you don't get to choose your items... and it's a fixed price. I don't often order them when I eat Malaysian food but I am definitely gonna do so going forward. It is very tasty. . ICYMI - this is currently my favorite place... been coming here weekly for the past 4 weeks... read more

It has really been awhile since I have been back to this restaurant. Food still being consistent and good. I really always enjoy the roti dip with chicken curry. Great taste a bit of spice and the roti perfectly made. The curry chicken itself is always great with a bowl of white rice or the Hainanese Rice. I especially enjoy their Hokkien Mee, very good flavor and not overly salty and I like the dark soy. Smells incredible! The sizzling beef is not bad but this more or less is almost the same in a lot of restaurants. But very tender. They make a very good Hainanese Chicken, good size chicken and love the sauce. I especially enjoyed the spare ribs. So tasty with a sweet and sour sauce. The tofu with the minced pork and peas on a sizzling hot plate is also very good. Nicely flavored and smooth on the fried tofu. This place in general has been around for some time now and has always been good. Also the staff is friendly. read more

THEY HAVE THE REAL ROTI CANAI! Sweet and savory style. Made in-house to order -- call in for large orders to save on fees. Curry sauce for dipping has been hit or miss lately sometimes it's great - other times watery. Portion sizes also cut back to small 4oz containers. But this Malay restaurant is still the best around -- no frills, old school style service. Come for the food, not the decor. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and enjoyed everything we ordered. The roti canai was light and crisp with a tasty side of curry chicken sauce, the Achat (cold appetizer) hit the spot with its tangy crisp sweet and sour veggies with a hint of pineapple chunks, the fish head curry was huge and flavorful with nice chucks of eggplant and potatoes, tomato and my Indian mee goreng noodle had nice "wok-hey" flavor. Service was friendly and efficient. Note: CASH ONLY read more

I've bookmarked this Malaysian restaurant on Yelp for a very long time, but never had the change to try their food until last night when the husband was in the mood for Malaysian food. We ordered the following dishes: 1. Half Hainanese Chicken - Good! (Steamed chicken with chef's special soy sauce.) 2. Curry Chicken with Potato - The curry tasted good with coconut, but they mixed in a little too much coconut. (Hot and spicy.) 3. Kang Kung Belachan - It could've been spicier and added more flavor in my opinion hehe (Sauteed conveins with spicy Malaysian shrimp paste sauce. Hot and spicy.) 4. Sarang Burung - A big portion but lacked flavor! (Shaped fried taro stuffed with chicken, shrimp, corn, carrots and black mushrooms topped with peanuts.) 5. Fried Pearl Noodles - Flavorful with lots of soy sauce, but the noodles itself were too hard to chew. Maybe they should have cooked the noodles a few minutes longer! (Stir fried noodles in a special sauce with shrimp, pork, egg, scallion and bean sprouts.) The dish portions are very big, especially the Sarang Burung. However, the taste for most of the dishes we ordered were slightly on the bland side. It's good for people watching their salt intake though! But we are used to heavy tasting food, so it threw us off a bit. Shrugs! The hainanese rice was too hard, like you can taste that uncooked texture of the rice! Maybe they rushed it and couldn't cook the rice in time? Reasonable price. Fast service. Cash only! Not a fancy place, but it is a good casual place to eat in Flushing. read more

Food was good. Laid back family style restaurant. For the location, price and the look of the restaurant, it was within my expectations. Appetizers were definitely better than the entrees. Malaysian style fried rice was really good. Roti Canai was also decent. I actually liked that the roti was thin and crispy. I have had Roti Canai many times, including in Malaysia, and most of the time the roti tasted just like the store bought packets. This one seemed different, in a nice way. Chicken and beef satays were really good. Wasn't a fan of the Ayam Rendang. I would definitely go back to try different items. read more

I was kind of confused why this place doesn't have 4/5 stars, I had a great experience! To be fair I did take out only. I ordered lots of food between me and my friend. I got beef rendeng (first time ever) the chicken curry roti, this flat noodle (forgot the name) and the grass jelly drink which I'm still dreaming about! I loved everything I ordered. The food was ready probably within 15 minutes of me calling. I got so much food and feel like I didn't even pay that much, I would say about $30 for my portion. This is a great take out spot. The inside area is smaller for seating but still a good amount. I would come back. Parking was also decent as it was next to a lot. read more

Food is good especially their Hainan chicken, chicken always juicy and not dry. My go to place when I crave for Hainan chicken on rice.

My family's goto Malaysian joint (or The Malay Restaurant if we in main st flushing area). The dishes we usually circulate are - --Curry Mee Yong Tofu: the fried tofu skin is always my favorite piece of vessel that carries the curry flavor with its textured crisp (also comes with stuffed eggplant, jalapeño, fried tofu) --Clay Pot Pearl Noodle Soup: (idk if this is the item name, i just saw what on the menu was most similar to the actual dish) nice light creamy broth of seafood with the bouncy pearl noodles --Fried Pearl Noodles: we usually ask for less oil for this but it's def one of those dishes you can't go wrong with - decent mix of ingredients with the bouncy pearl noodles and has a good stir fry flavor --Kueh Teow Thong: such a comforting bowl of soup with flat rice noodles and shredded chicken, shrimp, chives. Gives good amount of meat --Seafood Scramble Egg Chow Fun: can't go wrong with these flat noodles mixed in a light gravy kind of consistently with bok choy and seafood mixed in --Lemon chicken: tried it for the first time. The lemon flavor from the sauce has a good punch and tastes refreshing. Gives the chicken its otherwise plain flavor. Appetizers: --Roti Canai: thin, papery, chewy, crispy. love it but should definitely eat it fresh bc it was kinda hard to chew after like 15 minutes in its takeout container (comes with a curry dip with a couple chunks of chicken usually) --Chicken Satay: 5 sticks, moist and pairs really well with the peanut sauce it comes with read more

Ordered some take out last month. The food was okay, nothing special. The curry chicken needed more curry flavor. Not even spicy, the chicken had a good amount of sauce so I put it over rice but it was just so bland. I should've added more curry powder and reheated the whole thing. So a bit disappointed. The beef rendang was okay as well. Not a big portion but definitely tasted better than the curry chicken but I've had better. Should've gotten a curry noodle soup instead. Just wanted to try this place since we were in the area. read more

Trying the Malaysian Breakfast for the first time. I can't imagine having curry for breakfast and I tried this dish, Pork Skin Rice Noodle in Curry Broth. The dish is simple and tasty. The smell of curry broth is rich but not a strong attack. Unless you are having a bad stomach, try something else. They have small portion of coconut chick over rice as well (yes! For breakfast). It's Nutritiously, it's a little bit heavy in calories but you can totally imagine the reason Malaysian are having this for dinner. This is a small Malaysian restaurant in the outskirts of Downtown Flushing, yet, what can defeat a place that can make you feel like the place they are representing?! I also loved the service provided. They don't have any fancy hospitality, yet, the staff here are friendly enough to have you come back just for a fantasy being in Malaysia. They serve food by having you picking your food buffet style. No Michelle starts?! No fancy hospitality?! No Problem!! read more

Satay - Fried Pork Skin with Rice Noodle in Curry Broth - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

It tastes amazing. I am happier than i have ever been for some reason. I cant express how good it is.

I ordered delivery and tried a few different dishes. I should've stuck with what I knew...the Mee Goreng was excellent. The hokkien noodles and pad Thai were ok, but only because the noodles were over cooked in both dishes, but the curry noodles were a disappointment. Not very flavorful and weirdly cut up parts of the chicken. It looks like someone took leftovers and then threw it together and made a dish. On the bright side, the food did come filled to the top and not in those shallow containers the restaurants are now using and also arrived piping hot. I will definitely order the Mee Goreng again and try something else on the menu. read more

I have been addicted to Mee Goreng since 1999. I first had it at Baba (a Malaysian restaurant that was in NY's Chinatown) and tried the dish in various other places in NY and LA. This is the only place that seems the most similar to the one I had in Baba. I hope it stays open for a long time. read more

This is one of the several Malaysian restaurants that are on the outskirts of Downtown Flushing. The items here are cheaper than the ones in Downtown Flushing. When I entered, the place wasn't busy but there were others that were also doing takeout. I then ordered the Lobak. The people here could speak Cantonese. After ordering, I went to the supermarket next door. After seeing what was on sale, I then came back, and the order the ready. There was a TV showing Cantonese TV shows. Would recommend to others. read more

Satay is a Malaysian restaurant located on the corner of Kissena Boulevard and Holly Avenue. There are a few parking spots by the restaurant, but it's always packed so street parking is your best bet. They offer delivery through delivery apps, takeout, and dine in. If you dine in you're required to present your vaccination card and ID. The restaurant has been around for forever, so the interior isn't impressing or anything special. It's your typical no-frills, Asian restaurant that's focused on serving good food expediently. I ordered the Curry Shredded Chicken Mee ($9). Their food was on the sweeter side, but it's as authentic as it gets. Their food was reasonably priced and you get a very hefty meal for the price you get. They don't skimp on the amount of chicken you get and they fill the bowl to the very brim with noodles and broth. TLDR: Authentic Malaysian food that's decently priced with hefty portions. read more

Satay - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

One of my favorite restaurants to go to for Malaysian food! There's a few spots available in front of the restaurant for parking but once those are full, you'd have to look for parking around the neighborhood. I typically never have to wait for a table but they can get pretty busy. The service is definitely quick and the staff is very friendly. I always start off with the roti canai (which comes with a curry dipping sauce) or roti tissue (super crispy and coated in a some sugar). I also like the lobak and think that their satay (skewers) are just decent. As for the dishes, I recommend any of their noodle dishes, both soup or dry noodles! I particularly like the hokkien mee or chow kueh teow. If you come with a big party, I recommend getting the hainanese rice along with a variety of dishes so you are able to try more things. To conclude the meal, they often serve bubor cha cha (a Malaysian sweet dessert soup) for dinner but I recommend getting chendol, which is a shaved ice item. read more

Great spot for malaysian. Truly authentic. Love the roti almost feels like there is some pandan in there. Great curry dipping sauce. The surprise standout was the tofu and veggies. Fresh ingredients and the tofu is a standout. Great noodle dishes you can't go wrong with anybody them. Felt like I was eating dishes in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Also go for the haiyanese chicken dish. Great tasty chicken and the rice had wonderful chicken broth flavor in the rice it was cooked in. I will be back. read more

Got: Curry mee yong tofu, Prawn mee, Fried pearl noodle, Seafood fried lai fun, Chicken satay skewers, Beef satay skewers Price: ~$9 for noodle soup and curry mee, ~$10 for stir fried noodles, ~$9 for 5 satay skewers Value: Noodle soup portions are LARGE! Stir fried noodles are packed into container (more than 1 serving) WOW! Was craving curry mee (aka laksa) and didn't want to travel to Elmhurst for Taste Good, an old-time family favorite. The Curry mee was spicier than expected and less viscous due to less coconut milk than what I'm used to. Still flavorful and wonderfully fragrant. The thick yellow egg noodles are chewy and given in generous amounts for a LARGE bowl of noodles. Comforting the soul on a cold day! :) The Prawn mee has a distinct and strong seafood flavor with a hint of spice. Idk how they got it to taste like this (cooking shrimp shells?!) but the broth is the main star of this dish. It comes with an assortment of mixed seafood. The Satay is slightly sweet and tender. The chicken satay skewers were slightly better when we ordered bc they were less dry. Maybe the beef overcooked a bit when transporting the orders back to the house. The stir-fried noodles have the "wok" and soy sauce flavor. Not overly salty and slightly smokey. Generous portions and delicious. Overall: Great flavors and price. A gem of a restaurant! Save the extra soup/broth so you can add your own noodles and ingredients to remake the dish again! read more

We actually came here several years ago after Curry Leaves closed but forgot to leave a review. We ordered a chicken satay, roti chanai, Kan Kong, curry rice noodle soup, char Kuey teow, and seafood egg wet noodles. Satay was as good as the other closer to Main Street. Char Kuey teow uses the narrow rice noodles instead of the wide one but is not dark so it was what we like. The seafood egg noodles and Kan Kong and curry rice noodles are quite authentic too. read more
