Customer Reviews
Great Malaysian food. I still have not found anything better in the city and I’m so glad I only live half hour from Penang Everything they do they go well from classic dishes like satay, char kway teo, as well as Hainan chicken and currys. These are the more recent dishes we had a mushroom ‘ spring roll’ which was a special for the day and very nice and different and not doggy like many fried foods. Soft shell crab really yummy. We love their mixed vegetable belancan. They have specials and their fried fish is so well deep fried you can eat almost every bone in the fish! And oh the other great thing is they are open Mondays when many other restaurants are closed ( and they close Tuesday).
The food was both very new to me and also comforting at the same time. Everything was texturally varied and had many different flavors. The gado gado was fantastic, very fresh, not overdone on the peanut. Murtabak was new to me and also really great! I will be back for more including rendang
Friendly staff and the food is consistently so flavorful. This is the only true Malaysian spot in the Chicago suburbs, it’s an absolute must try if you’re in the area and craving Malaysian food. Good satay, roti canai, roti telur, fried rice, and other Singapore dishes.
We ordered noodle with seafood not sure what it called, pulled the picture up from the google, it was good. The hainan chicken was delicious, little too much sesame oil, could have taste better with ginger garlic soy sauce. The oyster omelette was not as expected. As the picture looked more thin and crispy more like crapes but what we got was an omelette with oyster in side. Not bad but not as expected! Tofu satay with peanut sauce has so much tumeric which made the peanut sauce taste weird! Let talked about service, tardily slow! One of the server was not friendly. Only three tables with two servers, approximately waiting 30-40mins.
Good food for a good price. Wasn't busy at all for memorial day weekend. I believe the workers use English as a 2nd language so there was a bit of a language gap, but wasn't a problem at all. The choice in music could have been different, but you can't please everyone lol.
