We came by for lunch on a weekday and it was already quite crowded with a bunch of older folks…read moredining in. It felt like a kind of seat yourself at whatever table is empty given that the waitress (who was manning the register and taking dine in and phone orders) was quite busy. We ordered the chicken satay, chow kueh teow kway teoh and fried pearl noodles. For dine in, they also gave a kettle of tea and tea cups. There was a chef in charge of all the grilled dishes by the entrance so our chicken satay came out first. The seasoning they used on it had just the right amount of curry flavor and it was super tender too. The most tender chicken skewer I've ever had. It came with a side of peanut dipping sauce which added a nutty flavor to the chicken satay. Next came the chow keuh teow dish and we could smell the wok hei right away. This was definitely one of the favorites of the table and a must try! The star of the dish was actually the smoky wok hei flavor of the rice noodles (there were pieces of small shrimp, chicken and pork as well). The portion size of one dish is more than enough for 2 people to share. The last dish to come out were the fried pearl river noodles. They added some char siu to the noodles which added a nice flavor to the dish. It didn't have quite as strong of a wok hei flavor as the other dish but still pretty good! The pearl river noodles had the same texture as eating the tapioca balls in bubble tea. The space inside the restaurant is pretty small and any seat is fine (maybe except the one right by the door since it can get cold during winter time and the one by the register which is also next to the bathroom). I think they accept card but for these types of small mom and pop shops, it might be best to pay in cash. I'll definitely be back and have to give the bbq skate fish and one of their curry dishes a try next time!

I should've known how this meal was going to go the second I walked in…read more Before I could even say hello, the woman behind the counter hit me with, "Cash only!" I said I didn't have cash, and without missing a beat she grunted, "Credit over $30 only!" No "welcome," no "how are you," just straight into survival mode. My colleague ordered first. When it was my turn, I committed the unforgivable crime of asking, "Is there meat in this dish?" Apparently that's considered a high-maintenance request. She rolled her eyes, muttered something in Cantonese, and walked away. The customer behind me, who was picking up her order, quietly told me the employee had just said she "doesn't have time to serve people who don't know what they want." My apologies for not memorizing the menu before my first visit. Five minutes later, another woman came over and took my incredibly difficult order... noodles. Then I entered what felt like the DMV of noodle shops. About 15 minutes later my colleague got her food. Another 15 minutes passed. A family of three walked in after us, sat down, and started getting their meals while I was still waiting for my noodles. At this point I was emotionally invested in seeing how long this social experiment would last. When we asked where my food was, the original woman simply said, "SOON!." Apparently "soon" means 72 minutes here. I placed my order at 1:08 p.m. and didn't get my food until 2:20 p.m. I'm convinced my ticket took a gap year before making its way to the kitchen. If they forgot my order, that's annoying but understandable. What isn't understandable is pretending everything is fine, offering zero explanation, zero apology, and acting like waiting over an hour for noodles is perfectly normal. The biggest plot twist? The food wasn't even worth it. Bland, lacking flavor, and somehow managed to make a 72-minute wait feel even more disappointing. The service had more attitude than seasoning. Save yourself the time and eat literally anywhere else.

The restaurant is not that big and it was packed with diners the night we went. Service was not bad. They were not overly attentive but were not rude neither. The server who took our order gave us a heads up that a fish dish (M.P.) would be expensive just to make sure we really wanted it. Food was not bad, not the best I have had but we were all satisfied. Mixed satay not overcooked and flavor was good. Roti Canai was soft and curry tasted so good! Seafood fried lai fun had so much wok heat! The only complaint was assam laksa I wish the flavor could be even stronger. And the ais kacang was a great way to end the dinner. Btw they accept credit cards now!

It is just off of the PopMart vending machine and is operated by a nice woman (#1) practically every day of the week. The name is based on Malaysian kuih, which are bite sized sweet treats. The bahulu is their version of an egg sponge cake. The kuih is sold in box sets, which are about $12 each, along with other snacks from cookies to jelly to other cakes. Their pandan treats are popular and a sucker for bunga telang, otherwise known as the butterfly pea flower, and is visually as stunning as it is tasty. Beyond the box sets, there are also imported packages such as durian ice cream, fruit jelly, pineapple cakes, Belgian butter cookies, Japanese style honeycomb crackers, nyonya kuih, nuts of all kinds, and frozen durian musang. I'm still puzzled why shrimp crackers are $18 a can or why Haagen Daaz is forever popular amongst the Chinese community. A full breakdown of their fresh offerings are on a standup sign that offers pictures and descriptions. The woman operating the kiosk is very kind and will offer small samples if asked. She has only spoken to me in Mandarin, but if she's truly Malaysian than I would venture Malay Bahasa and English should be no problem. I believe credit cards are accepted, but cash is always king. __________ (#1) Sally? Is that you?

They have a variety of authentic Malaysian & Singaporean specialty desserts, cookies, pandan cakes, snacks and even musang king durian. I got a box of honeycomb cookies and peanut mochi. They include a free can of soda with purchase of any 2 boxes of dessert. The cookies were crispy & light with a subtle sweetness & a hint of creamy coconut flavor and the peanut mochi were soft & chewy, not too doughy or sweet with a generous amount of flavorful peanut filling. We really enjoyed it. The service seems a little pushy and prices are on the higher side but nonetheless, tasted good so it was worth it :)

My favorite of all time is the belachan morning glory 马来风光. Their version featured very fresh veggies with super flavorful, umami, onion-forward belachan sauce. The wok hei 锅气 was on point! The laksa was solid with a good balance of curry, lemongrass, and coconut flavors. Loved the noodles they used since they were plumpier and chewier than other nones I've had. Good ratio of tofu, fish cake, and shrimp. The beef rendang was saucier and lighter than ones I've typically had - but it worked! The beef pieces were also very tender! The chicken satay was very tender, well-seasoned, and lightly glazed with a good smokey flavor. The peanut sauce was a tad sweeter than I prefer but I still enjoyed it. The fried fish cake was very crunchy, albeit less fish than I thought there would be. Loved the no thrills, mom and pop shop vibes. Staff were kind and food came out quickly. Loved the aroma from the kitchen as well! Can't wait to go back to try other dishes!

Everything was delicious, except for the scallion pancakes, which we didn't enjoy as much. It might have been because they weren't the typical scallion pancakes I'm used to; they had a very crispy exterior and a strong scallion flavor on the inside. By the end of the night, we loved the curry so much that we ended up dipping everything into it! lol

Food Consensus: We ordered the sate ayam, sate padang, mie tek tek, nasi ayam goreng sambal ljo, and the lime squash drink. All of the food was solid. My favorites were the mie tek tek and the nasi ayam goreng sambal jlo. The noodles were in a rich, savory sauce that I loved. The chicken in the nasi ayam was perfectly crisped and the green sambal paired perfectly with the chicken. It was definitely a slow creep of heat. The skewers were solid too, I'd over them to share. The lime squash was refreshing and light, perfect for a summer day Overall, I recommend trying Sumatera!

This place deserves a higher rating! Pretty great Malaysian food…read more ROTI CANAI 4/5: Curry is mild in spice, fragrant in flavor. Roti itself is not as flaky and is a little thicker in some parts, but still pretty good. Would order again still. SATAY 5/5: The chicken has a really good char and brightness from the lemongrass. Peanut sauce's sweetness completes this. AYAM RENDANG 4/5 : The chicken falls off the bone. The red curry goes great with a bowl of white rice. It is more of a dry curry than a creamy curry compared to other Malaysian restaurants. BUDDHIST YAM POT 4.5/5 : A lightly fried bowl-shaped taro with some well seasoned and lightly sauced chicken, shrimp, cashes, and veggies inside. Some other restaurants go heavy on the fried exterior, but not this one. Texturally a really nice contrast between firm carrots, soft taro, and shattering of the cellophane noodles and fried webbing around the bowl. It is a lot of Malaysian dishes, but they also have some Taiwanese and Thai dishes on the menu as well.

See below for preferences…read more Good- 3 Cup Chicken/Sanbeiji, Fly's Head, Belacan Special OK- Shredded Beef with Chili Peppers, Baby Oyster Omelet/Oyster Pancake, Bitter Melon with Salted Egg Yolk, Mango Sticky Rice Bad- Mee Goreng, Rendang I went to this unique spot serving both Malaysian and Taiwanese a while back with a large group. The service was pretty friendly and was quick in bringing out dishes and refilling water. As said in the note, I heavily preferred the Taiwanese dishes. First to arrive was the Baby Oyster Omelet/Oyster Pancake/蚵仔煎 for $11.95. It was mildly sweet from the sauce, and otherwise, there was a good amount of greens and a pretty good amount of oysters inside. Compared to Taiwanese Gourmet, I liked that the sauce wasn't overly sweet, though I found the omelet itself to have a better texture at the latter place, as there were more oysters. Favorite of the Taiwanese dishes was the $18.95 3 Cup Chicken/三杯鸡/Sanbeiji. The version here was much more flavorful, with a balanced amount of sweetness, saltiness, and slight herbal flavors. The chicken was also a lot more tender, so overall, this was outstanding and an easy highlight. The other best dish was their take on Fly Head/Fly's Head/蒼蠅頭 for $17.95. There were plenty of garlic chives to add freshness, and it wasn't too salty from the black bean. Otherwise, it was spicy and balanced. This was also tasty. For the same price, there was also the Shredded Beef with Chili Peppers. This was spicier by comparison, and the beef was pretty tender. I enjoyed it along with the rest of the table. There was also the Shredded Beef with Chili Peppers for the same price. The beef was decently tender and had plenty of peppers to add a good kick. I liked the additional aromatic vegetables added on top, which added extra flavors and textures. Best of the Malaysian dishes was the $18.95 Belacan Special, which included okra/lady fingers, eggplant, and green beans, cooked in a sauce made from fermented shrimp paste. The vegetables were cooked down perfectly as they still retained a lot of texture, with the eggplant being a highlight. Otherwise, there was a lot of belacan, but not too much that the dish was too funky or salty. This was easily the best of the Malaysian dishes. The $12.95 Mee Goreng, listed as Indian style stir-fried noodles with authentic mild dried squid sauce with tofu, potato, shrimp, egg, bean sprouts, and onion, was alright. The price was reasonable, but I found it way too sweet. The remaining toppings were nice, and while there weren't many shrimp, I wouldn't expect that many at that price point. On a side note, I have a cephalopod allergy, so I'm surprised I didn't have a reaction to this dish. My least favorite main dish by a country mile was their take on Lamb/Kambing Rendang for $21.95, listed as lamb, coconut milk, chilis, and spices cooked over low heat. Outside of it being by far the most expensive dish, the lamb wasn't tender, being actually a bit chewy. The worst part was that compared to some of the other dishes, it lacked heat and flavor, with there being only hits of coconut milk or chili. This is one of my favorite Malaysian dishes, and I usually scarf it down, but I didn't like this at all. Last of the dishes, and unfinished, was the $17.95 Bitter Melon with Salted Egg Yolk. Due to the bitterness, I was one of the few who enjoyed it, while some of the other groups didn't touch much of it. I personally liked it, as I don't mind bitter flavors, and there wasn't too much salted egg that it was pasty. I wouldn't order this alone, but it would make a nice vegetable side along with a sweet or savory main dish. Last was the $9.95 Mango Sticky Rice. The mango was pretty fresh, but the rice could have used a bit more sweetness and a bit more coconut milk. It was perfectly decent. It feels a bit odd rating this place. A couple of dishes were outstanding, some were good to mixed, and I hated two others. Low/mid 3.

It was packed with real crab meat, the portion was generous, and every bite was flavorful. Dessert was the perfect ending: fried ice cream and mango mousse cake--both absolutely delicious. Overall, BKNY Thai delivered on the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd come back to!
