I’ve been hearing so much about this spot, so I needed to check it out. They don’t take reservations so get here early to grab a spot. The inside of the restaurant is busy and functional, it’s meant for you to dine in quickly and get out. Try many menu options, but not really stood out. Nasi Lemak was excellent, probably the best I’ve had in NYC. The cross cross mushrooms and oyster omelette were also good. Unfortunately, other dishes like the chicken fat rice, and the beef rendang were flat and flavorless. The best part is the prices - you can try a lot of plates for a relatively good deal in New York City.

Average casual spot for Malaysian dishes. None of the dishes really stood out and lacked uniqueness. But overall the food was tasty and slightly cheaper than average. Ordering is done at the counter (kind of like fast food), and food is brought out to your table. Went with a large group so I got to sample a bunch of dishes. Nothing bad but nothing exceptional either.

Nice small place for Malaysian Treats. We had stir-fried crispy duck tongue, Char Kway Teow, Nasi Lemak, Malaysian Style Half Boiled Eggs, Pandan Chicken, Lobak, and Honeycomb cake From the decreasing recommendation level: Nasi Lemak = duck tongue = honeycomb cake > pandan chicken = char kway teow > lobak > half-boiled egg. The Nasi Lemak’s anchovy with nut sauce is sweet and savory. Paired greater with cucumber. The rice is coconut flavored and we just cannot stop digging it. The duck tongue is paired with spicy shrimp paste and taste crispy outside and chewy inside. The shrimp paste is so yummy! The honeycomb cake is not overly sweet and like it said, has a hint of caramel and toffee. It is very very good. It reminds me of Bika Ambon (Indonesian Honeycomb Cake) or Golden Sponge Cake depends on the region you are from. Pandan chicken is basically zongzi-shaped chicken. It taste similar to the inner pork filling of lobak, since both are sweet. The bean curd on the outside of lobak is crispy, and a bit on the dry side. And the boiled egg… while, it has a sprinkle of umami mushroom seasoning on top of half-boiled egg, and beside that, not impressive.

Great place for brunch or afternoon dessert! We got the kaya toast and noodle and 2 drinks. The kaya toast was my favorite! I've had it many times in Singapore but this one is just much better! The bread is fluffier and the kaya is thicker. I love the Milo coffee too it has strong flavors of chocolate. Definitely recommend!

I fell in love with this place. Food has so much flavor! I went back multiple times during a recent trip to the city. Staff is friendly, atmosphere is simple, so for an easy delicious meal at any time of the day it's solid choice and reasonably priced. You are expected to clean up your own table afterward, so service is pretty light. Nasi lemak is the best I've had so far in my travels. The fried anchovies have such amazing flavor. Kaya butter toasts are outstanding. Kaya jam is delicious and sweet and the bread used is thick and fluffy. Chicken jerky buns are fantastic. The buns are buttery and a little chewy and flaky and go do well with the flavorful savory jerky chicken. Honeycomb cake is chewy with a medium level sweetness. Texture was enjoyable. Kuih talam has a deliciously sweet Pandan cake base with a slightly salty and almost savory coconut milk top.
