Unquestionably, the Roti Canai is the delicious signature dish here. Tip: order an extra "pancake" or "roti". Roti is a general, broad (Sanskrit) term for any type of bread or flatbread, whereas "roti canai" is a specific, popular type of flaky, layered flat bread from Malaysia. This is served with a curry chicken sauce, but really there is not a lot if chicken, android the pancake is crispy, layered, fluffy, piping hot, and unbelievably good. The curry is like a butter chicken, Indian influenced curry. As mentioned, this is at heart a Malaysian restaurant but also served Chinese and Thai classics. Also unquestionably, the decor could use some serious help by the Restaurant Impossible crew. It feels cramped and like a Halloween costume of a Chinese or Asian restaurant, lacking any character or charm, almost a caricature. The service is attentive, but most likely students from nearby Furman University and less experienced, but nice. It is somewhat amusing to me for some reason when, mid-meal, the waitress arrives to the table with a pitcher of ice water and looks at our empty water glasses to ask "would you like more water?" It was lunchtime. Not very crowded. The roti was superb. The $4.00 "pork egg roll", howevre, was a single, skinny, overcooked, under stuffed appetizer with a thin duck sauce accompanying it and tasting like a commercially premade dish or a frozen selection from the grocer. Never to be ordered again. The main I chose was the chicken bulgogi lettuce wrap, which was served with romaine lettuce (not the classic cold, crunchy iceberg as at most places. The bulgogi was overly ratioed with diced water chestnuts in excess to the chicken pieces and it was also very sweet and nothing like classic bulgogi about it. The ingredients for bulgogi might be in this dish, but the composite wasn't the thinly sliced "fire meat" (what the word bulgogi means) I expected. It had chunky chicken, not slices and the sauce was overly sweet and gloopy (too much corn starch) and no heat spiciness. I really did not care to finish this dish. My wife had a serviceable Tom Yum soup that she said she would never order again. We do eat out frequently at Korean and Thai restaurants and these dishes really are not on the same level. But, the Roti Canai is so good, we will definitely be back to eat again. Five plus stars for Roti Canai. read more

The food here is consistent. We enjoy the noodles and the roti. Ambiance is sit down. Casual. Service depends on the day and server. We often get take out. read more

Not a new place, but one that I somehow missed on previous trips. Perhaps because they've titled themselves an Asian Kitchen, which is generic and doesn't usually suggest the food is going to be particularly special. But this place is in fact run by a Malaysian family, with what I think were pictures of Kuala Lumpur decorating the walls. They have a separate menu with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free listings, of which there are many. I felt like a bit of a fool ordering basic spring rolls, but theirs were quite good with a nice mix of glass noodles and vegetables. My curry, at 4/5 spice, was enough for me on the night. It's not easy to find vegetarian green curry, but I enjoyed theirs, though it was a bit too much sauce for the amount of coconut rice that came with it. They did not skimp on the vegetables or tofu inside. A tea was perfect for washing things down, and I wish I could have ordered more. Their selection includes a number of items typical of Southeast Asian cuisine, but also some distinctively Malay items like roti canai or curry laksa. Be adventurous and try something different! read more

The exterior is quite deceiving for this delightful restaurant. It's cheerfully decorated inside, the service is friendly and quick and the food is delicious! My mom had the Mongolian Beef (4 out of 5 level spice) and I had the beef lo mein. The food was so good. Will definitely be back again! read more

Had the flat noodles. The beef was very bland. Needed tons of duck sauce and soy sauce and it still didn't really help. Small portions for to go orders. read more

Nice environment. Good service. Standard Cuisine -- Spring roll, Basil wide noodle w/ tofu. I would not say Fusion by any means -- more Pan Asian. Nothing to write home about and go out of my way. Standard spice level on the mild side. Overall construction below average. Spring rolled over fried, filling good. Noodles - too much tofu, not enough noodles, noodles cut too short, no veggies. Presentation standard/ mediocre. I would not come back -- too average. read more

I came here for the first time for a takeout order. They have a very large menu which is nice that you can get a little bit of everything. Staff was nice. I got the lo mein noodles and it was really good. Singapore noodles had good flavor to it. Wonton soup was nice and hearty. The portions could be bigger in my opinion for the price you pay but I was overall happy with my takeout order. read more

We love this place! If you're in a hurry, grab a seat at the bar--otherwise, the table service is just as great. The staff is always super friendly, and every dish we've tried has been a hit--authentic, flavorful, and generously portioned. One of our go-to spots! read more

Rock Star! The food is fantastic and they have a large menu. If you crave Asian food this is your place. The General Tao's Chicken of one of the best I've ever eaten. Service was great too. We sat at the bar and had great & prompt service. They have five (plus/minus) beers on draft and about a dozen in the bottle. Ambiance was so so. I did not go there to look at pretty pictures, went for the food! They do close mid afternoon (2:00 to 4:00) so keep that in mind. If you're in the area and want some great General Tso's Chicken this is your place. read more

One of my.favorite hidden gems. The food? Always delicious. Service? Excellent and just right amount of attention. The ambiance is quiet enough for conversation and broad enough with a bar and TV's, pictures from Malaysia, and friendly staff. read more

Yellow Ginger Asian Kitchen - Char Kueh Teow with beef - lunch portion - this dish is very similar to Pad See Ew - Malaysian Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

This is our go-to place anytime we want something delicious and cozy. They put just as much care into the takeout orders as the in-house ones. Everything is made to order and with fresh ingredients, and Anthony is just the best. Some of our favorites: - Roti Canai (flaky flatbread with a spicy chicken sauce) - Tom Yum Kung & Egg Flower Soup - Lettuce wraps -Char Kueh Teow (similar to a Pad See Ew, but with a deeper and toastier sauce) - Nasi Lemak (Peanuts, sambal shrimp, stewed chicken, cucumber, boiled egg, and coconut rice in quadrants on the plate) - Chicken Rendang (slightly spicy chicken stew with cucumber salad and coconut rice, goes crazy) - Green Curry with shrimp, iconic - Pineapple fried rice read more

Yellow Ginger Asian Kitchen - God-tier green curry - Malaysian Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

One of our favorite restaurants. Authentic Malaysian and other Asian. Great selection, delicious dishes and excellent service.

This is a cool thai and Malaysian restaurant that I was introduced to by my brother and sister in law. The place was sit down casual. It was a nice atmosphere to come and spend quality time with family and friends. (See pictures) The service was friendly and excellent. We ordered the roti, shrimp Laksa, chicken Rendang, and Mee Goreng for the table. I absolutely loved the food. It was excellent. Especially the roti, but really everything was excellent. It's the best Malaysian food I can remember, didnt think I would find it in Greenville. I would highly recommend this place for anyone and I will be back whenever in down in Greenville. read more

This was a To Go order. Food was ready when they said it would be and the food was HOT. I ordered the Garlic Eggplant with Chicken with spice level 2. Absolutely delicious and spice level was perfect. My husband had the Gen'l Chicken and he was very pleased with the flavors and the chicken was not overly breaded. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for some time now, but they always seemed closed (closed on Mondays & Tuesdays). But I was in luck today! We stopped in and we were the only ones other than staff in this restaurant. We were promptly seated & we gave our drink choices as we perused the easily navigated menu. There were so many options it was hard to make a choice! I settled on the Tangy Teriyaki Beef that came with a really nice assortment of vegetables! My partner ordered the Yellow Ginger Delight. We settled on trying the pork egg rolls first and appetizer, served with a plum sauce that was delicious!! The egg rolls were nice & crisp! Presentation was beautifully done! When our main meals came, I was overwhelmed with how beautiful it looked AND tasted! White rice was served on the side. The beef and all the vegetables were very tender and cut to a nice size!(so often you go to an Asian restaurant & they cut the veggies in huge pieces which makes it hard to eat) this was done perfectly! The sauce was heaven! The spices all blended perfectly! My partner's Yellow Ginger Delight was a huge fried noodle basket on top of shredded cabbage and was filled with scallopes, shrimp, chicken & beef with a lot of beautiful vegetables also! He said the sauce was amazing! Everything was hot & fresh & delicious! We'll be back! read more

The food is consistently good! I really like the service received each and every time I visit.

I had been told by an acquaintance that Yellow Ginger was fantastic and he was right! The service was great, the food (tofu pad Thai) was excellent, and the restaurant itself is very clean and tastefully decorated. I will be coming here on the regular!

I have enjoyed everything I have teied here. Tastes very fresh. Service is top notch and they have incredibly fair prices!

I would give it 20 stars if I could. The BEST Asian food we have found. The Mongolian beef... Omgoodness. While it may seem more pricey then traditional take out it is easily 2 meals which brings it down to regular pricing. We ordered the pad Thai, Mongolian beef, and pork egg rolls and they truly are the best! It's rated this high for a reason. Do not miss it! read more

Malay food is something of an experience of many tastes! It's a mix of flavours soya sauce, ginger, curries. Similar to Thai but different. On a night in which I wanted to branch out and try some other different restaurants of The Greenville area I decided to head north to Yellow Ginger. Upon entering a busy Friday night I could smell and see that this was going to be a great experience. The restaurant was packed full. I ate at the bar. I decided to go with a roti canai as an app and the hokkien mee as a main. The roti canai was unreal how crispy and soft it was. They gave a few chunks of chicken and the sauce was just as roti canai should taste like. Creamy, not too sweet but just perfect! I believe this is also served as the main dish rendang chicken but I could be wrong. If it is order it up! It's awesome. The hokkien mee was a generous serving and chewwy noodles which I selected with shrimp. It was very good as well, flavourful and will fried. Boy oh boy! This is a special restaurant and I so can't wait to return! read more

Yellow Ginger Asian Kitchen is A-OK. We started our meal with the ROTI per the recommendation of the other reviews on here. This was truly delicious. The crisp outside texture of the bread and the soft inside made it very unique. It had a sweet smell to it. The chicken butter curry was very rich and flavorful. The combination of heat, sweetness, and richness from the butter complimented each other very well. I got Curry Laksa which had two stars next to it. This denotes a very spicey dish. Curry Laksa** $12.95 - Shrimp, chicken, tofu, hard-boiled egg, bean sprout, and lo mein noodles in a rich curry coconut broth. The lunch order is only $7.95. Though the broth was creamy, I thought that it was a little thin, and lacking a bigger punch. It was not very spicey (neither in the heat nor the spices sense of the word). The egg roll that came with it was crispy but again, lacking in some sort of flavor. The chilli sweet sauce is what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. I thought that it needed some additional vegetable in the soup. My partner got the Yellow Ginger Delight. Yellow Ginger Delight $18.95 - Shrimp, scallops, chicken, beef, and mixed vegetables with chef's brown sauce on a crispy noodle bowl I imagine it was this price due to the scallops. I don't think it was worth this price. The brown sauce was good, but again it seemed to be lacking a punch of some sort. The portion was quite big, especially when you count the side of rice. It definitely seemed cooked from scratch and there was a good amount of meat. It just didn't seem very special or different. Because it is a half hour drive for us, we probably won't be returning. read more

This was my New Year's Eve meal and it was perfection! Pad Thai was a hefty portion and not too sweet which can happen fairly easily. The roti canai was a delicious and flaky bread that did notttt last very long. Can't wait to come back in person! read more

It is what it is. Pretty standard fare. I was not overly impressed in spite of recommendations from friends.

I was intrigued by this place because this restaurant is unique in that they incorporate a variety of Asian cuisines into their menu. I also never had Malaysian food before and wanted to try something new. Lunch menu has great prices with most entrees between $8-$10! The service was speedy - we were shocked when our food came out after about 5 min (maybe they knew this chick here was hangry!!) Fiancé got the Szechuan which we were really excited about because I had raved to him over and over again about the various peppers Szechuan dishes use. Usually you get a smokey, peppery, spicey flavor that starts to make your eyes water but in a good way. However, this dish was barely spicy...just a whiff of spice and only really with red chili pepper. Not sure if they purposely Americanized it for him but still we were bummed. I got the chicken rendang because I wanted an authentic Malaysian dish. It was chicken in a curry sauce and was alright, not much of the coconut flavor that I had expected from the description. read more

Usually have takeout. Like their Gen Tao, fried rice, spring rolls, lettuce wraps or Pad Thai.

Very good Asian food with a nice quiet atmosphere! The menu has a selection of dishes!

Yellow Ginger is my favorite restaurant in the Greenvill3 area. After one Friday lunch visit I have been back each week since. I've tried much of the lunch menu; it is all good, but the curry laksa stands out for being exceptionally tasty with just the right amount of spice for my gentle southern taste buds. Unsure? Ask the server, they are very helpful. Go with an open stomach and enjoy. read more

I came here with my husband to put in a to-go order for 6 and it didn't take long for our order to be ready. The lady who helped us was very nice, as we sat at the bar, waiting for our food. Now, let's cut to the chase and talk about the food! I ended up ordering the Red Curry Chicken entree. My husband ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. Our other family members ordered Chicken Fried Rice and my son ordered the Sesame Chicken with steamed white rice. All of which was very good. I tried my husband's pad thai and it was absolutely delicious! Next time, I may order that or just keep that as a go-to option for when I can't decide what to eat! My red curry chicken was good, but I wish I had put the whole thing in a bowl with the coconut rice as opposed to a plate because the curry stew was very flavorful! By putting it on my plate, separating the the chicken and veggies and rice, I feel like I didn't take in all the flavor per bite. When I scooped up the stew with a spoon, I could taste more flavor. The menu here has such a variety of Thai and Chinese good for everyone that enjoys a good Asian American meal. I truly look forward to eating here again! Hopefully next time I will be able to dine in too! It appears to be a family friendly restaurant and they have a full bar, with some good draught beer options. As we walked out, I noticed they had some green onion plants, herbs and red chilli plants! So, that was a cool addition to show people they use fresh ingredients here. read more
