β€œI came to this restaurant with my friends for the first time and we simply ordered three appetizers. We didn't expect them to be so tasty and delicious. The staff were very friendly, especially our server, Tingting. Her service was excellent, and her sunny smile made the dining experience even more enjoyable. And the atmosphere was great. My friends and I will definitely come back next time! ”

β€œShortened version of my much, much longer Yelp review- I went to this Malaysian place a couple of weeks ago with a large group. I have had Malaysian food from many different restaurants, and this was excellent across the board with a couple of definite highlights. The place was crowded and the staff was friendly, though a bit overwhelmed, so it took a while for the food to come out. This was also likely the reason why they forgot about one of our dishes (the Hainanese Chicken,) which was unfortunate, but we were full enough anyway. You can see below what we ordered and what my recommendations are- Beef Rendang- Excellent. Semi-dry style. Could use a tad more heat but very flavorful with tender beef Crispy Rice- Excellent. Excellent wok hei and texture. Plenty of scallion oil for flavor and a good amount of shrimp Kangkung Belachan- Very good. Nicely cooked water spinach and a good amount of funk. Trengganu Duck- Very good. Nice curry. Tender duck though there were bones. Plenty of veggies. Chow Zhou Tilapia Fish- Good. Reminded me of some Canto fish dishes but a bit sweeter. Kajang Beef Satay- Good/standard. Good beef. Standard satay Coconut Butter Chicken- Alright. A bit light in flavor. Ice Kacang- Alright. Not sweet enough. A bit bland Would recommend. The rendang over rice is also a tasty reasonably priced option for takeout”

β€œOrdered the lunch special and received an unrequested extra special portion of rice. The Cheng Mai chicken was alright and dry. The general Tso was a bit bland (not enough sauce) had way too much rice not enough protein and left me hungry. Will just head over to Wing Hing Seafood restaurant next time for their lunch- they have better portions for the price.”
