the chili crabs and the buttermilk fried green beans are a must!!!
Came to this South Slope Malaysian restaurant for lunch and greatly enjoyed the food here. Started off with roti which came hot, soft and flakey accompanied by a curry sauce that packed nice heat. Ordered the Malaysian red curry which was flavorful and just hot enough. The Malay noodles with shrimp, crab, squid and scallop was tasty as well. Finished off with a lite mango pudding. Service was very good and the lunch special prices are very reasonable. I will certainly come back.
More of 3.5 stars for a solid restaurant with some higher than expected pricing. Came into Al Seabu on a Saturday night with the place not so packed, aside from us there was another two tables with customers.
Ordered the BKT soup, some Roti and Char Kuay Teow and Beef Rendang, basically the Malay staples.
The soup was surprisingly bland and disappointing for its price of $7.00 for a cup. The roti was fresh and cooked well and has substance instead of the airy thin roti other Malaysian places have. The Char Kuay Teow was bland with the flavoring uninspiring while the beef rendang lacked punch but cooked very tender.
All in a, a solid place but overpriced for what it is, good service and with the free check in desert makes the price slightly more palatable.
Very nice spot in PS. The restaurant is clean and staff is courteous.
The food overall is good, nothing stood out for me personally. I was pretty bummed they don't have hainanese chicken rice… Which to me is pretty standard for Malaysian cuisine.
Came here for a late dinner after painting. I ordered Nasi Lemak, the Malaysian national dish, to eat and a Rose Lemonade to drink. The Nasi Lemak was separated into separate parts. It was interesting to taste each part individually before mixing them together to combine the flavors. I liked the combination of flavors as each component could still be tasted and complimented the others. The spice level was comfortable — between medium and mild, but you can request to add more spice if desired. The lemonade was refreshing. The rose was not overpowering and went well with the lemonade. I liked the presentation of small edible roses on top of a lemon slice on top of the drink. Be sure to use the Yelp check-in offer to get the free mango pudding dessert. It was a nice treat at the end of the meal as it was light and not too sweet. Service was good. Will be back if I'm in the area again.
I walk by this place an awful lot, because much like all the other Asian joints in your home neighborhood, they look and feel the same. Until one day, I found myself craving a certain Malaysian dish. Then I was all down to go inside.
That dish was seafood Wattan Hor–a noodle dish combining stir fry flat noodles and a thick seafood gravy. When done well, it is amazing. Then there is the roti prata–a thin, crispy pancake dipped in curry. This place's roti prata and Seafood Wattan Hor were…okay. Maybe it would have been better if they didn't run out of flat noodle, and the pancake wasn't the right thickness, or the curry was a little thicker. And although I found their pork belly sliders sandwich between a fried mantou (a Taiwanese desert bun) to be inventive and cute, it didn't particularly impress me. My boyfriend's enjoyed his curry laksa, and so I would probably list that as the best item here. Al Seabu didn't impress on all these dishes, but at the end of the day, if it's the Malaysian food around here, I'll continue to come in whenever my craving hits.
Although, I would be remiss if I did not mention how I loved the Mango Pudding and Pandan cheesecake. If you have a sweet tooth, don't hesitate to order dessert here!
3.5 stars? This place was pretty tasty. I had the soft shell chili crab (split it with my dining partner) and the veggie meat rendang. We asked for both items spicy – they didn't come out spicy at all, even though they were labeled spicy on the menu. That part was not exciting, also it was not exciting that there was a B grade in the window – the restaurant was full of people, so we ignored the negative grade and went in. Hopefully the grade gets bumped to an A soon. The service was good, and we enjoyed both meals – even though it wasn't as spicy as we've liked. I would like to return to try more of the menu.
Really solid Malaysian dishes with good variety and intensities of heat. I've been here a couple times – first ordering the seafood wattan hor. It was tasty and had lots of seafood, but the sauce it comes in is kinda heavy. Hearty meal though! The second time I ordered curry prawns. Very spicy but with great flavor. The potions here are a good value and the food is always super tasty. The staff is super attentive and friendly as well. Definitely recommend as a solid option!
