    This is my second time here and business is booming since the TikTok reviews. Was a bit disappointed in the food this time around. Nothing really stood out so not sure I will be back.

    We stopped by Curry House for a weekday dinner and had a great, no-fuss experience. Service was quick. We ordered the tofu satay, eggplant in garlic sauce, and vegetable curry with white rice. The food was flavorful, served piping hot, and arrived quickly--perfect for a casual dinner. This isn't an upscale spot, but it's clean, spacious, and comfortable--not cramped at all. If you're in the mood for hearty, tasty food without the frills, this place is definitely worth a try!

    I went inside Curry House to get lunch today. I got myself a curry chicken on rice bowl for $11.50 and a roti canai appetizer for $5.50. Wait time was a couple of minutes and luckily there was a long green bench to sit and wait for my order to be ready. Once I opened the curry chicken on rice bowl, I saw that the rice was very soggy and wet. Did not really like the texture. Wish it was not soggy or sticky. You can choose chicken with or without bones and I got it without. The chicken was very soggy too and the curry flavor was not strong enough. Wish it was stronger with more potatoes. There was a lot of curry sauce to drench the rice in. With the roti canai, the Indian pancake was very crispy and fried. The sauce was very good and I can taste the spiced flavor. The restaurant atmosphere is very modern with few people in it for lunch today. It is very clean though.

    Came here with a group of friends on a Saturday. Plenty of seating and able to accommodate us. The food was really tasty and authentic. My friend raved about this place for a while and it lived up to the hype! The owners also gave use a dessert on the house that was made with their own adjustments and it was amazing! We loved everything that we got. The only thing was the little bean things in our vegetable dish that none of us actually liked and we didn't know what kind of bean it was. My favorite dish was definitely the nasi lemak! It was so good!!

    It was my first time trying Curry House after a friend recommended it, so I decided to order takeout. I went with the Kapitan Noodle (Malaysian), a pan-fried udon dish tossed in dark soy sauce with pork, chicken, squid, and shrimp. It looked amazing and smelled even better. Unfortunately, the noodles were a letdown. The udon was overcooked, it wasn't spongy or bouncy. Since the noodles are the star, it really fell flat for me, which was disappointing. I also tried the baby oyster omelette--it was fine, but nothing special, as I've had better... Meh!

    Curry beef stew over rice

    Decent spot for Malaysian food in Chinatown. Not too many people on a weekday during lunch time. Service was fast and friendly but, because we were practically the only table of diners there the entire time, the servers were staring at us while we were eating, which I did not appreciate. We ordered: Spring rolls- Ordered this off of their dim sum menu. Tasted standard and came with a tasty sweet and sour sauce. They came out hot and crispy. Satay tofu- Liked how the tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Served with tons of crunchy bean sprouts and a fairly mild satay sauce. Char kway teow- Loved this dish! The noodles were perfectly pan fried with a smoky flavor and the addition of seafood and Chinese sausage worked perfectly. Curry beef stew over rice- Beef was very tender and curry was flavorful but not too spicy. Loved the fried potatoes as well! Overall, the food here was good and the prices are reasonable as well, given the portion size. Some things to improve on: 1) Some classic Malaysian dishes like rendang and laksa are noticeably missing. Consider adding these to the menu? 2) Recommend that the servers at least pretend to be busy instead of staring at diners during times of low foot traffic.

    This place is still a staple in our haircut Saturdays. It's never so busy that you can't get a table immediately, the food is cheaper and have huge portions, and the service is super fast. We are almost through the entire menu and very rarely did we get something we didn't like.

    Nasi Lemak [bottom], Curry Egg noodle with Young Tau Foo [top]
    Vincent V.

    A table for 2 last Sunday. Me and my wife had an early lunch right before church service. I would rank this higher than most Malaysian restaurants within the vicinity. I ordered Nasi Lemak and wifey ordered Curry Noodle with Young Tau Foo. Excellent, excellent nasi lemak, rice is succulent and fragrant. Fried anchovies are spot on. Crunchy and savory, just how it supposed to be. Most places would serve the anchovies stale and hard to chew but not theirs. Definitely a must order again for me, generous portion, could be split into 2 people if you are not too hungry. Wifey enjoyed her stuffed eggplant Tau Foo, she said the eggplant is soft and sweet. Lovely lunch/dinner spot, we will be back!!

    This was one of our first stops when we arrived in New York for our family holiday vacation. Nice little cozy mom and pop spot in Chinatown. Place was pretty busy but we got seated within 15 mins. Staff were nice and they seem to have regulars that are in and out throughout the day. Our food came out pretty quick as well once our order was placed. We went with some lighter dishes since we planned on walkin around a little more. We got the oyster omelet, seafood noodle dish, tom yum soup and some pork ribs. I would say the ribs were the biggest hit with our table.

    Fried squid w/ salt & pepper

    We walked in as a group of 9 on a Thursday night and were seated right away. The place is spacious, clean and modern compared to other Chinatown restaurants. The staff were friendly and attentive; food came out in quickly. Half of our group are non-Asians and it was their first time trying Malaysian. We ordered several dishes to showcase the different flavors and spices. Everyone was surprised by the larger than average portion size. Our group loved the food and plans are in the works for an encore soon.

    Really good spot and glad we came here. On a Sunday, there was a lot of space available though the restaurant was still busy. Food came out Asian style - as in it comes out once it's ready, and the apps came out within 10 minutes of us placing the order. The noodle didn't take that much longer. Before we started eating, we were contemplating ordering more but we're glad we didn't! The portion sizes of the noodles and satay tofu is pretty big. I imagine most things on the menu are of good size as well. Flavors are on point, though I tried to get our noodles "less spicy" but they took out the spice entirely. So if you plan to order a spicy dish, either keep it as is or know that they likely don't do a milder spice option.

    nasi lemak
    Morlene C.

    When the place is packed on a weekday afternoon, in a neighborhood filled with amazing eats, you know it's probably pretty good. It's safe to judge a Malaysian restaurant by their Nasi Lemak, so I knew I was going to order that when I solo dined here recently. They kept it traditional, complete with crispy anchovies, hard boiled egg, sambal and peanuts. I paired it with a satay chicken app. The portions and the crowd were harbingers of good things to come. The chicken satay came with 4 generous skewers of dark meat, with that signature sweet marinade and peanut sauce over it. I found both chicken satay and nasi lemak serviceable but not so memorable. I think it's about the quality of the ingredients. As a solo diner, I also found the portions, which were mostly family sized, made it difficult to try more of their menu. The flavors were solid and the kitchen was pretty efficient however. I like WokWok across the way for some of my other favorite Malaysian dishes.

ROTI CANAI - 7/10 Roti canai is a flaky and soft flatbread pan fried until golden. It was served with a small bowl of chicken curry. The roti was smaller than I expected and it wasn't as crispy and airy as I had hoped. SATAY CHICKEN - 10/10 Whoa, this was surprisingly delicious! The chicken was seasoned well and grilled/charred in high heat. Making the chicken even more flavorful. The best part was the creamy peanut sauce drizzle on top. Chef kiss! HAINANESE CHICKEN (1/2 portion) - 8/10 Tender and silky chicken. I love the ginger scallion and spicy chili sauce. I've had this same dish in Malaysia and taste very close to it. I thought they put way too much soy sauce on the bottom of the chicken. It took away the taste of the chicken itself. That's just my personal preference.

The intense umami punch makes eating this vegetable dish fun! You can taste the "wok hay" - iykyk! Food came out quickly and served piping hot. Attentive service.
