I've been wanting to drop by here for years and finally had the chance and was disappointed. I came by on a Sunday at 2pm and they were already out of the satay skewers, hainanese chicken, and the Sunday special bak kut teh which was disappointing. I got the roti canai which came with curry chicken and the sizzling tofu with seafood which came with rice. The roti canai was very buttery and flaky (a bit different from others I have but good). The tofu was alright- I thought the breading was a bit too thick for my liking. The tofu was silky smooth though and had decent amount of seafood! Restroom was a bit dirty.
Nut allergy friendly: There's a peanut sauce for the satay skewers, but I was fine with everything else. The employees are fluent in English so no problems in ordering! Time to Order: 20-45 minutes? We were in a group so maybe that's not accurate, but we also ordered a lot. Roti Canai (5/5): One of the best roti Canai I've ever had. The curry is thick with potato and super tender chicken and the roti canai bread is chewy but somehow still flaky and flavorful at the same time. It was so good that I ordered another one for myself to go to let my partner try it at home. Malaysian Chicken Satay (5/5): You will read "tender chicken" in my review several times. It's not a joke. The chicken nearly melts in your mouth. The last time I had meat this tender it was a filet mignon that was 6x the price of this dish. Char Kuey Tow (4.5/5) and Mee Goreng (4.5/5): Yeah we got both the flat noodle and the mee goreng. Because both are awesome. Noodles stayed chewy, beansprout and veggies were great, proteins were great. Not too saucy. Solid. Uncle Chen's Sizzling Tofu (4.5/5): We got this seafood style and it comes loaded with shrimp, calamari.. fantastic. Great by itself or on rice. The middle gets a little soggy if you let it sit too long, so chow down on this whole it's hot! Roasted Hainanese Chicken (4/5): Nothing against the dish itself, I just don't like all the bones. Yes, the chicken was beautifully tender. Chicken rice, also fantastic. Curry Chicken Puff (4.5/5): So this was way more filling than I expected. It's like an intense Asian empanada? Totally worth it. Comes out really hot. Lastly, we got a serenade from the man himself. Yes, he pulls out a mic and sings. It's his break from cooking during the dinner rush. So, you might indeed get dinner and a show! It's beautiful to see someone who enjoys what he's doing - and his voice is such that some people think it's a song over the intercom instead of live music, take that how you will :) TL;DR: Absolutely contends for Best in Katy. Yes, it lived up to the hype. Come and eat family style and you won't be disappointed!
I came to Uncle Chin's because we were craving Malaysian/Singaporean food. It was a far drive for me, but I think it was worth it. We came 30 minutes after it was opened for the day, and there were already a couple parties ahead of us. We were quickly seated, and we were told in advance there was only one cook in the kitchen (Uncle Chin himself!) and that it could be a while before we get our food. We did not mind the wait, and it actually took about 20 minutes from the time we placed our order to when we got our food, so the wait was not bad at all. We ordered their Malaysian Satay. Sadly, there was no beef or combo available, and they only had chicken, but it was delicious! We also had their Laksha and their stir fried noodles. We ate everything. It was perfectly seasoned, very flavorful. There were many proteins in each of our dishes. There was plenty of parking, and despite there being only one person running the front, things went pretty smoothly. The ambiance is great for a casual date night or a family gathering. I would definitely come here again even with the same constraints they had.
We'd been meaning to try this place for a long time and finally got around to it. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall mom and pop spot that feels really cozy, which I actually appreciated. It gives the place a very homey feel. The servers were all super friendly and attentive and the owner was also very kind and checked on us a few times. The food and drinks were all delicious, good portions, and prices were reasonable. Everything came out in a timely manner. The drinks took a little longer, but it wasn't a big deal. We also ordered a noodle dish that I forgot to take a picture of. One thing to note: I wouldn't recommend using the restroom if you can avoid it. My little one really had to go and it wasn't clean at all or well kept which was a bit of a downside especially with a kid. Overall, we had a great experience and I'm glad we finally tried it.
In spite of all the accolades and having garnered one of the highest ratings in the area, Uncle Chin's still feels slept on (#1) and is not on enough radars within the foodcentric community. Yet for those who have dined here, it's an experience like no other and arguably the best Malaysian option in greater Houston. Located on a busy stretch of Mason Road, it is entirely too easy to miss which means customers are here because they knew where to go. It is small, but quaint in every way. There are only 30 seats at best, with the series of counter seats, as well as small tables. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, making first timers and regulars all feel at home at the same time. The food stands out, not simply because it's a rare cuisine in the area, but because of how good it is. The curry chicken has an excellent flavor and it's full of chunks of bone in chicken potatoes and an egg. Both the chicken and beef satays are often tender and strangely addicting, as is their char kuey teow. I'd become fond of their roti canai, which is served with a fluffy yet flakey roti, and served with a flavorful mini bowl of curry. The laksa is also highly recommended, since the broth has an excellent creamy base of coconut milk and is fragrant with every slurp. While the beef rendang and bak kut teh are only available on weekends, it is most definitely worth seeking out. The roasted Hainanese chicken is a unique spin on the classic dish and when available, the kaya puffs are an excellent way to close out the meal. Franco, the owner is a kind and gentle soul. His passion for food and community oozes through every aspect of the business. Beyond the food, he is absolutely the star, enough to where many locals would come just to be served and serenaded (#2) by him. It truly is a dinner and a show. I dedicate review #5300 to this Katy gem, which has become a destination and one of my favorite businesses in the entire area. __________ (#1) For the uninitiated: Relatively unknown. (#2) Yes, actual singing. In the middle of the restaurant.
Two words: Absolutely spectacular! I hadn't eaten in a few days (long story) and I found myself in Katy on a Friday so I did a quick Yelp search and came upon this place. As I dug deeper, I read Jando's glowing review word-for-word and found myself salivating. Well, I ventured out to S. Mason for lunch, found the place easily, appreciated the ample and free parking, and walked in. I had read before that they used to be closed on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but now they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but open for dinner on Saturdays. (See my photos.) Anyhow, we walked in and found the place homey. Nothing fancy - just a nice, clean, homey Malaysian restaurant. Not too big, and not too small. We placed our order of roti canai, stir fried flat rice noodles, seafood sizzling tofu, and topped it off with a Malaysian milk tea. Oh my - we were satisfied and stuffed as a party of 2. We ended up boxing up almost 40% of the meal. The roti was near perfection - crispy, hot, flaky. The dipping sauce was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of heat. It included chunks of chicken and potato. You must absolutely order this one. I love me some stir fried flat rice noodles so we got that one with chicken. Overall, it was excellent. Portions were a tad smaller than I would like for the price. Also it could use a little bit of hot sauce so we asked for a side of sriracha which they gladly and quickly brought. The sizzling tofu - OMG so good. I can't even explain it. I just love it so much and the portions are huge. I'm not sure what the vegetable flavor would taste like but we tried the seafood one and have no regrets. Lastly the milk tea was just because we felt like splurging and it was also a great decision. The tea flavor itself is deep and the overall drink is very nice. We got it iced. And an honorable mention - we ran into Uncle Chin (at least we assume it was Uncle Chin) and told him his food was amazing. I think he really appreciated it. He seems like a super nice guy and I want his business to do really well. If that wasn't Uncle Chin then we talked to a random person and raved about the food... Many thanks for Jando for the raving review that convinced me to try this place. Loved it and would absolutely come back as soon as possible!
We used to like Uncle Chen before we left Texas, so after moving back, we decided to drive 50 minutes one way and had lunch there. There were about four other customers during a weekday lunch, which isn't bad, especially given the Katy location, which is a bit out of the way. There was only one server working the front--a woman who was very efficient and clearly ran things on a tight, almost military-like schedule. She handled everything well, but her demeanor felt too direct and can be off putting. She said it really loudly towards the kitchen that she prepared the rice. The food came out in about 15 minutes, which was longer than I expected. However, I understand why--Franco, the owner, appeared to be the only one cooking and prepping food. As for the food, the noodles were a bit too greasy for my taste. My husband enjoyed his curry, but it wasn't anything particularly memorable. Unfortunately, we both experienced some stomach discomfort afterward, possibly due to the greasiness. Overall, we're glad we gave it another try, but this visit didn't quite live up to our previous experiences.
If you're looking to have a cozy and delicious meal, run here because this place serves one of the best Malaysian food I've ever had. The food is cooked by one chef from Sabah, Malaysia. Everything tasted SO GOOD. I came here for dinner and ordered their roti canai, chicken + beef skewers, and chicken char kuey teow. The roti was warm and fluffy. It went so perfectly with the bowl of curry, which was packed with so much flavor. The satay skewers were delicious as you can taste the amazing grilled flavor. The char kuey teow had a strong wok hay aroma which is chef's kiss in a noodle dish like this. This entire meal warmed my SOUL. The chef came out to ask how the food was. He was friendly and so is everyone working at the restaurant. Be patient with the restaurant since they are a small family run establishment, but it's so worth the wait. I will be back here to try the other items on their menu! There is sufficient parking by the restaurant. It's located in a seemingly busy street, near a Sonic.
I came across this resturant before I left Texas. I am so glad I made this stop, it was prob the best thing I ate during my short trip!! I was welcomed by the owner who was the sweetest. It's a small mom and pop shop and apparently the owner cooks everything himself! THATS AAMAZING. I heard it gets pretty packed Fridays and Sundays, so be aware of that. I came on a weekday lunch so it wasn't too crowded. Food: you can def tell it was made with love and details. Everything was so delicious. We got the combo B which came with the following: Beef skewers 8/10: so tender and juicy. I was kinda bummed out bc he ran out of chicken skewers that day but the beef was still really good and flavorful. The peanut sauce it came with really brought the dish together. Char Kuey teow 9/10: this dish is similar to the Chinese chow fun. But this Malaysian style noodle was WAY BETTER. it just had way more flavor than the typical chow funs I get at Chinese restaurants. It wasn't too oily and came with a good amount of meat. Roasted Hainanese chicken rice 10/10: wow my favorite dish I got. The chickens roast was so good especially the skin that was seasoned perfectly and had that nice crisp on the outside. This is a MUST GET. The rice was also garlic/ginger rice which is the best rice to get with this dish. The rice was so fragrant. I also got the Malaysian milk tea. Pro tip: don't get less sweet bc it's already pretty not sweet. I usually like my drinks 50% sweet but the milk tea is already like that. It was a unique drink but it didn't suit my taste that much since it was too strong of a flavor that it almost tasted coffee like (I don't like coffee). The server who made our drink was so nice and explained how he made the drinks. Overall service and food were amazing and I would so come back if I was in town. PLS CHECK THEM Out!
Uncle chins is a hole in the wall spots with AMAZING food. Located in a shopping complex with an abundance of parking, this restaurant is one of my new favorites. The portions are plenty, the service is great and overall a great place to eat. I ordered the char kuey teow with chicken and the dish had an explosion of flavors with the chicken and noodles well seasoned. We also had the I believe the laksa which was really good and perfect for a cold day (or hot). Overall, this is one of my top to go places here in Katy.
Check, This, Place, Out!!!! It's very well reviewed for a reason. What I will say from the start is that their service is excellent. I had great interactions with the staff, and they kept a very friendly attitude toward guests. The owner of the store actually noticed that my friend and I were new customers and took the time to thank us for visiting his restaurant. It was definitely a touching moment for me, and he left us with some complimentary ice cream the end of our meals. The restaurant itself isn't large but has enough seating to host a couple of groups and has the option of bar seating as well. It's a comfortable atmosphere to relax and have a good meal at, so I would say it's a good place to eat outside of your home rather than taking the food to-go. The food itself was amazing! The grilled pork was my favorite of the two dishes we tried, it had great flavor and the meat itself was very tender and easy to work with. A very filling meal with the eggs and the greens on the side. The sweet and sour fish was also great in terms of flavor, the fish itself was tender and seasoned well. It had some crispy edges to it which I adored. The sweet and sour sauce was well balanced with a bunch of veggies to complement the fish and a side of rice to fill out the meal. This is a restaurant definitely worth your time, incredibly friendly and easy experience!
Let me start with the charm of this restaurant, as it can be easily missed behind the numerous fast food chains along Mason Rd. But somehow when you walk in you're immediately taken back in time to when our grandparents used to welcome us into their home for a home cooked meal. The owner and chef Uncle Chin engages with his guests and even brings out treats. I've heard he sometimes sings too. I think it's great practice to make customers feel at home and special!! The food is as advertised, I had the lunch special and it was amazing!! Tasty, fresh, and lots of flavor!! The roti was crisp and fluffy and paired well with the curry. I'll be back to try more!
Have you ever closed your eyes when you eat to really appreciate the flavors? This place definitely does that for me! Let me start by saying the service is top notch. When my wife and I entered, we were greeted by friendly faces and seated immediately. The waitress was really nice, she offered us iced cold water or room temperature. The ambiance here is cozy - nothing too fancy, but you can definitely tell the chef/owner put some thought into it. From the banana leaf covers on the ceiling fan to the pictures of the past, it feels like you walked into his home. What we ordered: Roti canai Combo skewers Char kuey teow The roti canai striked a perfect balance between flakey outside to the soft and chewy inside. It was a perfect vessel to the side of curry that included chicken and potatoes. It came with 2 pieces of roti and a bowl of curry. Perfect starter for 2 people. Next came combo of beef and chicken skewers. The charred aroma quickly makes my mouth water as the plate hits the table. The beef skewer was loaded with flavor and the spices used are visible throughout. Chicken was tender with a gentle smokey kiss from the grill. Chicken Char kuey teow came last. It was a perfect sharing portion for 2 hungry adults. Wok hay was prevalent and you can taste it upon the first bite. The noodles were soft and the chicken was juicy. We ordered mild but next time I plan to be more adventurous and get a hotter level. Overall, I'd make this a staple and go-to whenever I'm in the Katy, TX area.

This is my parents favorite spot and mytook me while I'm visiting them. I've had Malaysian food before back in LA and it was delicious. So far through my experience, the Asian food scene in Houston has not been able to be compared to LA. However, this place did! And it was in fact, better!! Upon walking in, we were greeted by a lovely lady who was super friendly. We sat down and ordered a cendol drink, hainanese chicken, and kuey teow. Everything was delicious. Everything also came out in a timely manner. When I went, they were very understaffed with only the only in the back cooking. However, despite that, the food and everything was still impressive. Definitely will be back! read more

My family decided to try Uncle Chin last minute for lunch. When we got there the whole restaurant was packed already. We had a group of 9 and they mainly only had tables of 4, they made room for us by combining two tables. They seem to be short handed so there was understandably going to be a long wait for the food. There is a single waitress who is a sweet lady who is the only person working FOH. There is also a single cook in the back. We mainly got their lunch hour specials so I'm not sure I actually got a real taste of their menu. Every special comes with a free soda/iced tea. From the happy hour we got the new goreng, sweet and sour chicken, and roasted Haines chicken rice. My mom got the nasi lemak from their traditional menu to try. I only tried the nasi lemak. It had peanuts fire anchovies, hard boiled eggs, and a side of curry. I thought the roasted hainanese chicken that came with it was just ok. It was a little dry and didn't have as much flavor as I would've liked. I prefer the regular way that hainanese chicken is cooked. I do like the crunchiness from the provided peanuts, fried anchovies, and cucumbers though. The curry they give you on the side was SPICYYY, even my mom who had a high spice tolerance thought it was really spicy. I will probably come back again and try their actual dishes in the future if I have the chance. read more

We trully appreciate your " Home Kitchen and the " Love" that You have in cooking for your customers. We also appreciate your kindness! read more
Eating here feels like you're visiting your grandparents' house for dinner. The dishes here give a comfort food vibe and you can tell the food is made with love (sorry to be corny). The place itself is no frills decor and has a bar area to sit at. I tried the sweet and sour fish and Malaysian grilled pork. The pork dish was simple but full of flavor. The pork was seasoned well and very tender. The pineapple, tomato, and cucumber on the side balanced out the dish perfectly. My favorite was the fish dish though. The sauce was neither too sweet or too sour, but just the right amount of both. The fish was tender and slightly crisp on the outside. I loved eating all the vegetables and fruit in this dish. My friend and I ended up eating both dishes clean... it was that good! The owner (Uncle Chin himself) greeted us and offered ice cream which was incredibly sweet of him. I could immediately tell the passion he has for cooking Malaysian food and was proud of the fact that we enjoyed his cooking. I highly recommend coming here as this was one of the best Malaysian restaurants I've had in this city! read more

Very nice restaurant - a little slice of Malaysia. We ordered roti canai and nasi lemak both very delicious. Even my Malaysian wife approved. read more
I had been there for a private event earlier in the week. I happened to be in Katy working, so I decided to get an iced milk tea to go. It's delicious. While my intention was just to get the tea, I also ordered char kuey teow with tofu to have for dinner. Uncle Chin brought me the piping hot noodles. He's so nice. He offered me a popsicle, but I declined because I was drinking the tea. Since I declined the popsicle, he gave me a chocolate instead. I had a little bit of the noodles when I got home. They're good, and the serving was generous. I asked the waiter why they close on Saturdays. Apparently, Franco, the chef/owner, goes to market to purchase items served only on Sundays. Did you know that the restaurant has been named by Yelp as one of the top 100 restaurants in Texas? read more

Going to uncle chin's is like coming home from college to mom and dad's home cooked meals...it just hits the spot! They serve authentic Malaysian food with family style vibes. If you're lucky, uncle chin himself will come out from the kitchen in between cooking meals and set the ambiance with his beautiful singing. At the end of your meal, he'll come out and ask how your meal was and even ask your kids if they'd like an ice cream on the house. Overall, left with a smile on our faces and happy full bellies. Highly recommend getting their Roti Canai and their Satay. read more

KATY, TX 77450 / MALAYSIAN, SINGAPOREAN / 04-05-23 / DINNER +The homemade sauces were good. +The nasi lemak was amazing. +The chicken satay was marinated and cooked well. -Customer service was okay. Polly was friendly, but a little scattered. There were only 2 tables during the dinner rush and she was too busy showing a random passerby how to sign up for online ordering versus attending to the 2 tables (ours and a nice Asian couple). -Execution could definitely use some major improvement. Our entrees came out way too far apart from one another, the last (noodle soup) being served nearly 15 minutes after the first entree (nasi lemak). We had 3 of 5 dishes served, but no utensils to eat with. -The yee mi noodle soup's noodles were over-cooked and soggy. -The Hainanese chicken was cold, which I am not used to. -The Hainanese rice was dry and tasted a little old. -We found a long strand of wavy black hair on the noodle soup plate. -The restaurant could use some cleaning, as the dust bunnies were colonizing the shelves and counters. Overall, the restaurant is cozy and the owner/chef is really nice, but execution was a bit flawed. What we ordered (for 2 adults, 2 little ones): '1 Chicken Satay $13.99 '1 Side of White Rice $1.50 '1 Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken $14.99 '1 Hainanese Chicken & Rice $14.99 '1 Yee Mee Noodle Soup $11.99 Total: $62.20 plus tip read more
A laid back, clean restaurant that is family owned. Friendly staffs and whom-I-assumed, their son, is an engineer student. Menu is simple but a good variety. Basically you sit anywhere, look at their menu on their wall or use the QR scan to view their menu on your phone. When you're ready, their son or whomever will take your order and bring it out. When you're done eating, you pay at the register. Simple. Their roti was okay. It's definitely missing something but I cannot put my finger on it. Chicken skewers are a must. Flavored correctly and cooked to perfection. You need to give it a try! 6 delicious chicken skewers for $13 is not bad. Homemade peanut sauce is pretty good as well and I love that they added some cucumbers and red onions on the side. Chicken flat noodles is one of my favorite Malaysian flat noodles I have ever had! We got medium spice and it was perfect. Enough spice to satisfy me but not crazy spicy where you cannot feel your tongue. Just perfectly cooked. Plus, it's not oily! Overall, I will definitely come back to try other food or a quick order-to-go. Plus, supporting a local mom& pop's business is my jam. Prices are reasonable for the area. Plenty of parking. If you live close by, you can even walk or bike here (no bike rack though). read more

Went on a weekday to grab some dinner, and I was surprised it was pretty empty. Luckily, more customers trickled in because this place was amazing! Service was great; very warm and friendly vibes! Roti canai was very spicy, but it was so good. The chicken satay, roasted Hainanese chicken + rice, and sizzling tofu were delicious. The stir fry flat noodle with chicken is worth trying once. Overall great experience and we'll be back to try other food items! read more

Malaysian Chicken Satay (6 skewers) was so good. We only have sticks left. You should try their Hainanese Chicken and Rice and Malaysian Grilled pork! Everything was so juicy and tender! I would definitely come back and eat some more! Chef Chin and Owen were very kind! Everybody should go and try this!!! Please share this restaurant with your family and friends! The place was very clean too. read more
The service is great, and the owners try to make conversation and make sure you are having a good time. It has a rather homely atmosphere and you feel like you have come to a relative's home because the owners gave me free sambal to try, they kept checking on me, and gave me tips on how to better enjoy my food. They also made and served the tea tableside. As for the food, it was delicious. The roasted Hainanese chicken with the rice and the sauces was a winner for me. Also, it is quite a lot of food for the price. Definitely try the tea here because it is authentic and packed with flavor. Worth it! read more
Finally made our way out to try Uncle Chin's and we are so happy to do so! The location is tucked away in a little strip with lots of parking spots. The restaurant is very unassuming but has lots of charm reminiscent of mom&pop shops I've visited in Asia. I really like the leaves added to the fan spinning above that reminds me of SEA. We were greeted by very kind and eager wait staff who gave their honest recs which we were happy to take! I really enjoyed the dishes below: Beef skewers: super flavorful and tender on their own, the peanut? Sauce added just elevates the dish. It's a great snack but was honestly pretty filling, I could have been full with just this dish. Roti canai: there's a good little kick with the sauce that pairs well with the potato and chicken. The roti was flaky and so delightful Tofu stir fry noodle: we had the option to make it spicy and I kinda wish we did because I think that would have made the dish even better but it's also just really delicious as is. There's a delicious smokiness in the thick sauce that coats everything and it's just a great filling dish. I also think the dish is a great comfort meal that I'll think back to often. Unpictured: the Malay ice milk tea was so delicious! Strong tea flavor, a little on the sweet side but I found it enjoyable. Overall, a great place to eat authentic, yummy Singaporean/malay/indonesian food that I highly recommend! read more

The food here is bursting with flavor. We've tried other Malaysian restaurants, but this is by far the best. The hainanese chicken is tender, perfectly marinated and seasoned, and generous portion. The stir fry noodles are savory, robust with complex flavors, and satisfies the carb craving. The roast chicken was slighty crispy and rich in taste. Roti was perfectly flakey, crispy, buttery. So good. The service was superb. We came in around 730 and was greeted by uncle chin himself and a waiter. Uncle chin is very friendly and hospitable. He gave excellent recommendations, and when we debated between the regular and roast chicken, (we decided on regular) he gave us the roasted chicken on the house to try! He shared with us his story and how he reverse engineered his recipes. Waitstaff was attentive, patient, and friendly. It's an intimate space, very clean and comfortable. It's a little hidden on Mason shopping center. Be careful with days! They are not open Tuesdays or Saturdays , and we've tried to go twice both on Saturday! We will be lifelong customers. Can't wait to try again. read more

A small ma and pa restaurant. The roti was nice and crispy but it the curry tasted a little different than what I was expecting. The sizzling seafood tofu is definitely my favorite. So much flavor packed into the dish! The mixed satay meats were nice a tender and the sauce complimented the satay seasoning on it. Kind of like a little sweet and savory taste going on. Everything else was just what you'd expected. Not bad but good and comforting to eat. Would definitely come back. read more

Haven't been back here since the phenomenal yelp event I attended earlier this year but so glad I was able to stop by for lunch this afternoon. I wish I got the name of the lady working this afternoon but she was great! She appeared to be the main one working as she was pretty busy but she did a phenomenal job of attending to everyone and keeping us updated. We chatted a little bit as well and she just had phenomenal energy! We were also assisted by the owner I believe which is always a pleasure as he, too was great to us! He served us, checked in on us and gave us an awesome little treat when we left. I brought my friend and together we shared a combo which consisted of the roti and curry, the skewers and the chicken with the aromatic rice. Everything was just as delicious as I remembered it!! I just loveeeeew the curry! And the peanut sauce that comes with the skewers is literally chefs kiss! I hope I'm able to try the beef rendeng again one Day but for now I am very much pleased with what I was able to try today and will absolutely be back! It just doesn't get more authentic than uncle Chin's! read more
Small corner shop hiding behind a Sonic in Katy serves big flavor! Uncle Chin's is definitely family owned and I couldn't wait to try out their restaurant due to all the excellent reviews! The reviews do not lie for this Malaysian restaurant. It is spot on! Roti Canai was excellent the bread was flakey and flavorful. The curry, excellent cream texture, taste was perfection. Fried pork chop was tender and had a small kick of spice. Loved it! Curry chicken - great portion, curry as mentioned earlier was great and over rice you can't beat it! Malaysian Milk Tea - definitely a great dessert drink the tea leaves used were unique and not like anything you can get at any typical milk tea shop. Will be back!! read more

Coming from a Singaporean, I can tell you that the milk tea here is legit!! This is the only place in the United States that makes their Singapore/malaysian tea that tastes like the one back home! The food here, especially the chili, is delicious, and portions are really good! If you're interested in trying Singapore/malaysian food, don't sleep on this place!! read more

This place can be easily missed if you're not looking. It's hidden behind a building from street view. Truly a little hidden gem. You wouldn't know it's a Malaysian restaurant either. Upon waking in, you'll notice it's a little quaint family restaurant. The menu are on the wall with limited selections. There is one server and he was nice and attentive. Their specialty is the hainese chicken. I opt for that. Food came out quick and fresh. The roti curry was delicious and so was the flat rice noodle. I don't have any complaints. Pricing and quality is good and food is authentic. The chef even came out to ask how the food was as they're still relatively new and wanted feedback. After we paid and as we were leaving the chef offered us complimentary chocolate popsicle. Very random, it was a thoughtful gesture. Great service. read more
