  1. Great Malaysian spot – affordable prices and authentic and flavorful food. They have great lunch specials and also deliver.

    My boyfriend and I recently came for dinner and can't wait to come back. As an appetizer we ordered Roti Canai, which was amazing. For entrees we ordered the Singapore Noodles and Ayam Rendang. Both were delicious!  We definitely left full and looking forward to our next visit.

  2. One of my favorite place in Hoboken. I have been here for lunch and dinner. The ambiance is quite good. The patio furnitures are not that great but still manageable.

    The food is really good. I usually ask the food to be spicy and they do quite a good job in that. Some of my favorite are Roti Canai, Chilli Ayyam (Chilli Chicken) and Chicken rendang. Everything is just awesome. I also love their lichee drink. They have lichee in the drink and is just awesome. Its a BYOB place, so if you add bit of vodka in their lichee drink then it becomes a great cocktail 🙂

    The service is good. Out of my 3 visits, only once i faced issue with wait and late servings.

    Overall certainly recommend this place.

  3. We ordered

    Curry vegetable soup
    Stuffed roti

    Just an all around excellent meal with friendly service. I would go back anytime.

  4. Best Malaysian food I've ever had, also the only Malaysian food I have had.  If you're in the same boat, then try thinking of Indian and Thai food fusion.  

    The food is excellent here, and it's reason enough to go, but the service and ambiance are a little lacking.  Try the specials when you can.  I had the duck special, and it was amazing.  

    Service needs a little more smile and warmth, but it's attentive.  The ambiance reminded me of the movie Full Metal Jacket when they were were Hanoi.  It's very 1980s and could use a face-lift to cater to the Hoboken crowd.  

    I would recommend you try it here at least once for the food. You won't be disappointed.

  5. Good food and great service. Definitely worth a repeat. The food presentation is worth noting as my chicken and pineapple dish came served in a carved out pineapple. So cute!

  6. Ordered take out. Asked the person who answered for a suggestion but she refused. Bought the food home and it was all so bland. The dry chilly chicken was a joke. The Malaysian flat noodles were drowning in soy sauce.

    Wouldn't recommend.

  7. Maybe there are some things on the menu that are malaysian but the majority of what I saw was a fusion of bad chinese and thai. Lacking flavor, bland food. lunch prices are good. curry soup was pretty good, but not enough to salvage the meal for me

  8. We ordered through Seamless and had the roti canai, chicken satay skewers, Hainanese chicken, and Indian mee goreng. The roti canai was already cold but I can imagine it tasting a lot better had we dined in. The chicken skewers were good and not dry. It came with this peanut dipping sauce but it was too peanutty for me. The Hainanese chicken was alright. I wish they put the soy sauce on the side and didn't drown all the chicken in it. The rice is came with was very basic. It didn't tasted like how Hainanese chicken rice should – it tasted plain. The mee goreng was probably the best out of the bunch. Even though it was takeout, the noodles weren't soggy or anything. It was a little weird that it came with potatoes (or maybe the dish is supposed to have potatoes and I've been eating it wrong my whole life) but I would definitely order this again.

    It doesn't seem like there are many Malaysian options in the area, so Satay is probably your best bet. Of course, it's nowhere near as good (taste and price wise) as the numerous Chinatown options, but I wasn't expecting it to be.
