Wow wow wow Definitely a no nonsense/mom and pop establishment. We were looking for a good nearby place to grab lunch after visiting island spa. Coco was really close and the reviews/pictures look good so we decided to give it a chance. I love how there was plenty of parking in the back. We walked in and was seated right away. My BF loved his iced tea so much he ordered 2 The Roti Cani was LIFE CHANGING. Please get it The fried rice *chef kiss* it came in these interesting looking bowls and they even added a side of boiled egg We both ordered the fried rice and shared the general Tso chicken. ( the servings are pretty generous) We honestly didn't even have room for dessert. I will definitely be back because everything was so delicious ! read more

Supporting the local business. Great service. The waitress went over the top to service us. The fish head noodle soup didn't taste right and she took it back to have it remade. The 3 star given was purely on service. Everything we ordered was bland. The curry needs more flavor, the hot sauce in the Haines chicken is to sweet and needs more lemon, the 4 different noodle soups tasted like watered down soup. Everything was overly sweet. read more

Went for lunch so not crowded at all. Very attentive staff and great service overall. However, their menu is quite dated so be careful with the pricing as it may not match your final bill. The manager/owner just stated it as a matter of fact without any further explanation, "the menu is old" so we paid about $2 more per dish. It's not a big deal but just plain odd that they just were so nonchalant and unapologetic about it. read more

Always great food, service and now..... Crispy Pata!!!! Delicious. Super crispy and wish I had a beer! read more

Coco Asian Cuisine Restaurant - Malaysian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Been here a couple times and had pretty good experiences both times. One thing to note, Malaysian food tend to use peanuts in their ingredients so be sure to check with the servers if you have peanut allergies! Also.. parking is in the back! You can drive behind via the left side if the restaurant. Our go-to apps are always the roti and beef satay! We always get the Haianese chicken (half) and it ends up being more than enough for 2-3 people. The portion is generous and the chicken is always prepared very tender^^ The beef short ribs are a great bang for your buck! You get a real decent portion for around $15-16. Its not cooked and marinated the way its done at Korean restaurants but its pretty damn good in its own way. You still get that bbq flavored but I think its marinated with more of a dry rub^^ The curry stews/soups are real good here. We always go with the fish head? Or fish one. I forget. Definitely try this place out! Everything is flavorful and you'll definitely leave feeling satisfied^^ read more

I ordered a lot here during the pandemic, and before that I actually have been to the restaurant where their service was just not on part. All in all however, as with inflation their prices went up, so much so that for the portion I cannot justify going here anymore. read more

Haven't been to the restaurant since Coco sold it and the new owner didn't deliver. The latest owner delivered. The roti cani was delicious and we ate family style and everything delivered and was delicious. The restaurant is big and room and a bit noisy. We will be back. read more

This place legit!!! We had no idea what we wanted for dinner and ended up here. Every single dish that we ordered was on point and the flavors are exactly what they should be. Super authentic. We ordered Hokkien fried noodles. Delish. Assam laksa noodle soup. I looooved this. Spicy. Sweet. Salty. Sour. Reminiscent of Tom yum but better. This tasted home cooked. I am addicted and highly recommend. Hainan chicken over rice. The kid loved it. We cannot wait to go back to try other items on their menu. I love this find! read more

We came for lunch. We had never been to the restaurant and the menu is quite large. A server helped us decide what to have by asking questions about what we liked, asked if we were allergic to anything, did we like spicy or mild. She pointed us to items we might like and we ordered them. The Coco House special tofu was delightful. The silky tofu is made in house. The mixed vegetable delight was also delightful! Ordered take out for dinner because I didn't want it to end. read more

Tried this place twice and it was good consistently except they missed the hot sauce on the side. Thanks to Chowbus we get Asian food all the way from Edison delivered to us. Ordered Roti kanai, chicken curry, Indian nadi goreng, chilli chicken and belacan chicken (chicken with egg plant in special sauce) . Each dish is flavorful and stands on its own, was looking for a bit more spicy so the extra chilli sauce did help. We also tried a shrimp dish/ rather soup seemed almost like a deconstructed shrimp ramen, I'm sure it would serve much better if tried at the restaurant. Price on Chowbus is slightly expensive compared to their website, just like any other food delivery company. Second time I good use rewards to add an order of Thai ice tea which was ok. Will try Thai food the next time I order. read more

What we got and recommend: + Hainanese Chicken: |4.5/5| chicken was soft and tender which paired really well the sauce and rice + Prawn Mee: |4/5| Soup base great, a little spicy and also served the prawns generously + Roti Canal: |4.5/5| Soft and crispy with yummy curry + Curry Beef casserole |4.5/5| curry was delicious and the meat was tender + Tofu & broccoli dish: |4.5/5| Tofu was soft and juicy. It was perfect!!! + kacang: |4/5| delicious dessert to end the meal Was my second time back and I still love it! read more

Coco is a staple around here. The first time I ever had satay chicken was from Coco and I fell in love. You can't go wrong with their stir fry noodles with a perfectly smoky aroma. Although lo mein is more of a Chinese dish, it's my favorite from here. The pad see ew is also good, but a tad bit too sweet for me. Last time I ordered takeout from here, I got the prawn mee. I honestly couldn't finish it because it was suuuuuper salty. However, the seafood flavor is also really strong and they give a good portion of shrimp. read more

Went for quick early dinner here. It was around 3.30 we are the only customer there which is nice. We are on curry mood I guessed :). We had canai roti, it is good. Although my son said it tastes like roti I bought from Chinese supermarket but we all like it. We ordered curry chicken noodle, curry beef noodle and prawn mee. It was delicious. My prawn mee broth is flavorful, I can taste the shrimp in it. Good portion too. The curry chicken and beef noodle is delicious too. We also shared the rainbow ice. It's yummy! Definitely gonna come back again. read more

Awesome and tasty Malaysian food! Our family enjoyed the flavorful food served here. The owners treat you like family providing a caring service. read more

Had it delivered so to us the ambience is a nice home! Liked the food a lot. Singapore noodles with chicken - nothing special Basil chow fun with chicken - interesting in a good way. Tastes like chow fun with basil. Chicken with Chinese broccoli. Good quality and good stuff. Beef rendang - tender but nothing special. Not that much flavor Thai chicken crispy forgot the name - very good quality panko chicken cutlet. Sauce seems like sriracha + duck sauce, nothing very exciting. Best = roti canai. So good. Curry sauce delicious. read more

Stopped by this place because I was craving Malaysian food and I was getting a haircut nearby. I love Malaysian cuisine, because it draws influences from Chinese, Thai, and Indian flavors, and adds another twist, resulting in a pretty complex flavor profile. Normally if I was in this area, I would order from PappaRich in the Hmart Plaza right across; unfortunately, that store has been closed during the pandemic. I ordered the Roti Canai, Thai Style Red Curry, Chow Keuh Teow, and Nasi Lemak, which amounted to ~$40. Roti Canai: This is the dish I look forward to at every Malay restaurant, so I was disappointed with what I got. The chicken curry was standard, albeit a little low on chicken. The flatbread was not very crispy, flakey, or thin as those from other restaurants. In fact, I feel like I was eating a subpar cong you bing. Thai Style Red Curry: Tasted kinda watered down, not much flavor, not spicy at all. Lots of vegetables. Not worth the $14. Chow Keuh Teow: Fried rice noodles. This was good! Liked the peanuts and the chewy seafood. Nasi Lemak: Considered the national dish. Coconut rice with dried chicken curry and chili anchovy. Not sure what to expect from the description, but this was the highlight of my meal. Loved the fragrant coconut rice and the flavors of the toppings. Overall, I'm rating this 3 stars because while it was decent, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, especially with better options (PappaRich next door an Penang ~7 minutes away). read more

I got the chicken fried rice, which was very filling but a bit on the dry side. Because of COVID, I'd recommend ordering through the phone but you can also order at the side window they set up, which is where you also pay. The worker was very nice and the food was ready in about ten minutes. read more

Coco Asian Cuisine Restaurant - Chicken Fried Rice - Malaysian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

4.5 stars Love this spot!! It's our go to Malaysian restaurant for the past few years. Everything we've had has been super tasty and not too salty. You can tell them how spicy you want your food as well. You can order in or take out. They accept credit card. Place is relatively small but you can bring a party in. Parking lot is tiny and right on route 27 so be careful when backing out. Definitely a must try if you have not been yet. You won't be disappointed. :) read more

i have passed by this place so many times whenever i would drive through Edison, and i always thought it was some knock off bubble tea place for Coco inside 99ranch LMAO. but surprise it's actually a really good malaysian/thai restaurant!! and there's moge tee right next door if u do wanna grab boba after eating here!! i got two appetizers and two entrees which was a good amount of food to share for two people! each entree comes with a free bowl of jasmine rice too. for appetizers i recommend the roti canai which comes with chicken curry sauce. there are only two roti pieces in one dish so make sure you get two of them if you're there with more people. the second appetizer i got was the honey squid which was crunchy, sweet and sour? lol. it came with sesame seeds sprinkled on top. i thought it was a unique dish and definitely paired well with rice. for entrees, i recommend the jumbo oat shrimp !! it's like fried shrimp sprinkled with oats and pork floss??? again, rly unique dish but i thought the shrimp was crunchy on the outside but soft and flavorful on the inside. i think this was my favorite dish! the second entree is the hainanese chicken which was my second favorite dish. chicken was super chewy and flavorful as well. definitely dip it in that red sauce that comes with it. the menu has a LOT of options and apparently the lunch special here is worth it. the place gave off authentic malaysian/thai vibes, from the interior design of the restaurant to the workers. they were kind, attentive and friendly. also the prices are definitely affordable ! very comfortable, casual atmosphere. def recommend coming here for really awesome malaysian/thai food ...that's not penang (i like penang don't get me wrong) read more

I love the food here!! Whenever I call it takes about 20 minutes. The crispy hainan chicken(comes with rice) , roti Canai, seafood pan fried noodles, Shanghai fried rice, satay skewers appetizer, thai ice tea. They all were delicious. Noodles are up to you when you mix them for crispness. The hot sauce that comes with the chicken can be used on any of the rice dishes. Roti sauce went well with all dishes. Thai ice tea doused any spiciness i had during dinner, just wish they had a bigger size cup! read more

We've been to Coco before and are always happy with the food and service. The food is quite authentic Malay/Indonesian and all the dishes we ordered are delicious. Everything from the Roti Canai appetizer to the bean curd (with salted fish accent!) to the more exotic taro bird's nest is delightful. Standard fare such as the char kuey tiauw thin noodle (you can request the wider noodle as well) and fried rice are nicely prepared. Even the white coconut rice tastes and smells wonderfully fragrant. The servers are all friendly and more than happy to lend a shockingly cheerful choral accompaniment to the birthday song played when a party has a birthday cake coming to their table. Great dining experience. read more

This place NEVER disappoints! Been coming here for years! Tried the soft shell crab and sooooooo in love! It's light airy and crispy. You get the taste of crab with each bite. You get they come cut in half and dipped in batter with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Also just tried their version of Filipino sizzling pork sisig. Flavor profile is good. Wished it had a bit more crunch from the onions just to give it a bit more texture with each bite. But overall good effort. Definitely coming back. The kiddos love their honey squid and their crispy Thai chicken. read more

I've been coming here for quite some time now, even before they remodeled it years ago. I've always enjoyed their food. I've had the roti canai, seafood pan fried noodles, crispy squid, pork chop, young chow fried rice, and pad thai. They were all yummy :-) I haven't been here since the pandemic until today. I ordered chicken pad thai lunch special over the phone to pick up. They had a little pick up window on the side of their restaurant, which I thought was pretty a pretty smart idea. The lunch special came with a soup which was very flavorful, same great taste as I remember. Pad thai was good EXCEPT there were no peanuts!! What's a pad thai without ground peanuts?!? So I had to knock a star off for that one since I feel like peanuts make it taste so much better IMO! read more

A hidden gem. Great food and friendly service. My family and I have been here a few times and the food has been consistently good. Definitely have the roti canal, chicken wings and the seafood fried rice. Everything seems to be made fresh and is filled with flavor. Looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

The noodles for the seafood noodles were really chewy! Probably my favorite type of chinese noodles. Pad thai was delicous but it was missing the peanut bites that i love! The tofu & chicken were both really soft and not dry. The fried chicken wings were asian styled chicken wings so theyre not crupsy but wet & seasoned! I didnt feel as bad eating a few cause it didnt feel oily LOL They have a pick up window on the side & a parking lot in the front but also the back of the store. It is the right turn right before Hmart. read more

We were looking for an alternate place for Penang restaurant. We were not expecting anything out of the ordinary. Boy, were we wrong. Roti Canai hit the ball out of the park with flavorful curry and for $3.50 only. Broccoli and Tofu in garlic sauce had so much flavor. You cannot go wrong with pad Thai, so it did not disappoint. The red curry had so many good veggies and was flavorful, I wish it was a little bit spicier and more intense flavor. We are definitely ordering again. We felt so good after eating. As if there was good energy in food :) read more

It's okay. The portions are great and the prices are even better but I found every dish to lack in some way. The Pad Thai had something in the sauce that I've never had before and made me and my friend go what is in this? Cause it didn't taste like normal pad thai but couldn't pinpoint what they added which isn't usually there. I personally didn't like whatever it was and preferred how pad thai usually is cooked. The Hainanese chicken was...I've had better. It wasn't tasty, even with the sauce. It was just lacking in flavor and didn't taste fresh. I did enjoy the roti as it was thin and flaky and the curry sauce was good. The morning glory veggies were also okay but didn't taste fresh. I think overall that's how I would describe the food. On the okay side with not very fresh ingredients. read more

Love this place. Service is great and food is delicious. You will never regret going to this place. Customer service is fantastic.

Lunch special is good value. The portion size is big, and it comes with a soup (not Thai soup). We shared: -roti canai. This was tasty and came with a decent amount of roti. Probably one of the better roti canai's that I have had -chicken with basil: really liked this. Very tasty. -pad thai: this wasn't that great. Tasted a little bland. It's a huge serving though. I'll be back, although will avoid the pad thai read more

Coco Asian Cuisine Restaurant - pad thai, General Tso's Chicken, Roti - Malaysian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Hm....Edison What can i tell you all about Edison? Well, is in New Jersey. lol Okay, this is kinda out of the way, but I was in the area, another thing funny about this little Edison town is that not only located in New Jersey, but this town actually have this real Malaysia restaurant, and I'm sure you all know what I mean by 'real' Many of the International restaurant name might be "the real" whatever type food they're selling, but when you try it out, is gross, but not the Coco Malaysian restaurant First of all, let's talk about this location, and you all know, is in Edison, NJ, because I kept freaking saying it over and over again on top of this review. lol I don't think you can get here by train, you have to have a car Another funny thing about this area is, Coco Restaurant not the only International Restaurant here, in this area, is like a little Chinatown here, they have many stores signs wrote in Chinese and Korea But even though here is a small Chinatown, is not dirty at all like our lovely Manhattan Chinatown, so you can count on it is clean here :-) Parking is kinda suck, this building located at a strip mall which connected to hair salon, and other shops, in front of the restaurant only have 2 parking space. lol Yes, I'm not kidding, I said 2. lol I went late last night, so I have no problem finding parking space, that's because most shops next door are closed, but I hate to see what happen during restaurant rush hours Now for the food Food is good here and once again, like I mention earlier, is no fake Malaysian food here, not one of the Chinese take out that always showing the plate of Chinese food and always on the purple table and couple of flowers on the side. lol The restaurant is not very big, I'll says...maybe 75-100 seats, not good for group though, because is one open space, no private room, it will be too loud for group Seem like this place is more of the mom and pops restaurants, lots of locals goes there The Curry Chicken was just okay, but the Hainanese chicken was really good I will be back for sure, if you in the area, make sure you stop by here read more

Tried this place out with my family for the first time as we were in the mood for Malaysian food. Overall, it was okay. Was disappointed by the Roti Canai as it was lukewarm and not the Roti Canai we are used to/looking for. The Red Curry was on the watery side, but could be since I like my curry a bit thicker. The Pad Thai flavor was good! We felt that the service was a bit pushy as if they wanted us to quickly eat and leave. I did appreciate that the quickly refilled our waters without us having to flag someone down. Overall, 3/5 stars. read more

I hadn't have Malaysian food for a while and we order the Hainanese chicken over rice, Nasi Lemek, chicken satay and dipping fired calamari which weren't disappointed at all.
