  1. This place is really a hidden gem. From 11am to around 12(they sell out FAST), you'll be able to order Cha Siu which comes with two sides and steamed rice. The cha siu is really for all I go here for. It is just plain delicious, and cheap. The whole meal is less than $5 dollars.  I'd say don't be alarmed by the rating. B rating just means Better Taste anyways haha.

  2. Hands down one of my favorite places for Malaysian food. It's cheap, delicious, and big portions.This place makes you feel very homely, and don't mind their decor. Although, it's kind of outdated but we're really here for the food. I came here last Saturday for lunch and got the curry noodle soup with extra eggplants and extra crispy tofu ($6.25 only!).

  3. My friend took me here and it's her to-go Malaysian restaurant. You can ignore the B rating and the low lit lighting, this place is good and I think pretty authentic. (I'm not Malaysian, but I think any restaurant that has the run-down look must be good because they have been here for awhile.)

    We had beef satay and roti canai (crispy). My friend had curry (I don't remember what kind) and I had Mee Goreng (?), which are noodles with seafood, vegetable and crunch pork skin? maybe. I don't actually quite remember the description/name.

    The beef satay is a must!! Delicious and smells divine. Comes with peanut sauce and cucumbers. The roti canai was good. The pancake thing was crispy at the edges and the rest was soft. My noodles were really good and filling.

    This place is cheap, quick and delicious. There are so many things on the menu, and as other yelpers say, they have breakfast items too. Will come again for Malay cravings! 🙂

  4. Gotta say that the food is good.
    Also gotta say that this is not the cleanest place to eat. The highest health dept grade that I've seen in the front was a B. I've eaten there when it was a C, and I am still alive.

    They are known for their takeout, and many people go there for breakfast.

    Noodle dishes never disappointed me.
    The portions are large, specially the noodle dishes. The prices are low. The service is good for a spot so close to Main St. The servers are competent and fast.

    They have 2 options for Roti Canai: Malaysian and Indian. I always go for the Indian one because it's crispier than the other version. Congee bowls are about $6. Hainese Chicken is recommended (about $7), which is usually what my parents get since they are oddly picky for Asian eaters. I'd recommend the dried curry chicken. I like the little spiciness to it. Very yum and satisfying.

  5. Service was very nice and fast! Great selection of dishes on the menu. I ordered the Home Style Roti Canai, Chow Kueh Teow Malaysian Style Noodles, and chicken skewers. The Roti Canai must of been the best that I've ever had. The sauce had a really great texture to it. The noodles were kind of like the chow mei fun at a Chinese restaurant but maybe like three times better. I would recommend it! Although, I minus one star because one of the chicken skewers was obviously uncooked..which seems very unappetizing.

  6. The best CHA SIEW ever in flushing!!! I had the combo:3 dish one soup, I chose CHA SIEW, steam egg and another something. So the gem here is always CHA SIEW. Anyhow, if you want to get the delicious CHA SIEW, you need to come between 11-1pm because it sold out quick. Sometimes they would not display it so you have to ask for it. Yes, it's that little amount that you have to ASK FOR IT!

  7. It kind of feels like I went back to Malaysia when we stepped into this restaurant in Flushing. Quite easy to find, just across the street from the Flushing Mall. It's a pretty big restaurant set-up, so perfect for the two big group of friends we were rolling in with. Dish served family style is probably the best way to do it so everybody can taste the many different, delicious dishes that they have to offer. Pretty authentic too when it comes to it's spices and sambals.

  8. Sentosa used to be my go-to Malaysian restaurant in Flushing but I think I'm gonna have to switch to this place. The exterior isn't particularly eye-catching so it's easy to miss when you're walking down the block. (A previous review mentioned the C sanitation grade – it now has a B. Just fyi!) When we got there we were seated at a table next to where the employees were prepping vegetables. A litlte awkward but not unusual for a small casual Asian restaurant. We got roti canai which was a little too crispy but the curry sauce was great. It's pretty standard curry sauce but compared to Sentosa, the portion was a little bigger and there was more potato and chicken.

    My go-to dish whenever I get Malaysian is stir fried noodles (char kway teoh) and it was amazing. Not only was the portion (again) larger than Sentosa's, they were quite generous with the shrimp and squid. The noodles had a nice smoky sear ("wok hay" in Cantonese maybe?) and had just a bit of a spicy kick. We had also ordered chicken and beef satay as one of our appetizers but they brought it out after our entrees. Not that big of a deal since it is a super casual restaurant. I liked the chicken; the beef was a little bit tough.
