I think they opened 2 years ago but we never made it here... since we live closer to the other spot on 20th avenue. Glad we did lunch here! The Hainan Chicken is better here. Very juicy, silky and tender. The fried rice was quite good - "wok hay", salt & pepper squid was yummy, and the Ong-Choy was good (but smaller potion than other Malaysian spot). Also tried their grass jelly brown sugar soy milk drink - very good. Overall, would come back for another round!

Known for their chicken rice, my group, and I ordered some of the house chicken, roasted chicken, pork belly, and a few other goodies, such as the Kalamansi limeade, char kway teoh, and Asam laksa. The chicken rice come in a cute paper packaging, a good portion of food. House chicken is moist, roast a little less so. Only thing lacking are the sauces. The ginger chili sauce is given in such small amounts and isn't flavorful enough to give that oomph chicken rice has. The Asam laksa I would skip, it's nothing to write home about. Char Kway Teoh has that good wokhei flavor and we rec. The teh Tarik and white kopi were quite watery so I'd skip that too, but the limeade was great!

My favorite was probably the Hainanese Chicken, which was relatively tender. String beans were quite good too because their belacan was flavorful. On the other hand, I found the Curry Young Tao Fu to be a little underwhelming, especially the bland tofu. As for the Roti Cani, that pancake was somewhat doughy, but the curry sauce was good. I did order the Chow Kueh Teow, but they did not serve it. We were too full anyway, so we decided to save that for our next visit. Unfortunately, this restaurant is far from my home. Otherwise, I would be back right away.

We got the laksa, sizzling tofu, and the bird nest (taro basket with vegetable and seafood/chicken) The sizzling tofu is so good. I love this dish.

They have white rice or yellow rice (soaked in chicken soup). The portion size is very generous, we had leftovers enough for another meal. I highly recommend this place! Definitely a place you don't want to miss out.

The satay chicken sewers were tender, not dry at all and paired well with the peanut sauce. It does have a little kick to it, which gets a bit amplified with the heat. The pork chops were a more citrusy Peking pork chops, which isn't a bad thing. They were tender and meaty, with just the right amount of batter to not feel like you're just eating dough. This paired well with their chicken rice. The laksa noodles were decent but a bit underwhelming. We expected more flavors but it fell a bit flat. Prices are reasonable and the serving size is pretty good. Worth to try other things on the menu.

The rice was fragrant and perfectly cooked in coconut milk with pandan, and every bite had layers of flavor. It came with spicy sambal, crispy anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, hard-boiled egg, and fresh cucumber -- the balance of savory, spicy, crunchy, and creamy was incredible. The shrimp lo mein with veggies was absolutely delicious, and the chicken satay skewers with curry sauce on the side tied everything together perfectly. Comfort food at its finest -- especially on a cold, rainy night. Service was great -- genuinely kind and sweet -- and everything was reasonably priced. Definitely recommend if you're looking to try something flavorful and authentic. I'll 100% be back. Ambiance was lowkey cozy and warm.

We opted for the 15 course dinner that samples through their entire menu. It is a perfect amount of food for two people and I recommend this experience very much. The meal starts with a cozy chicken and noodle broth soup which was so warming and comforting, just what the doctor ordered in this weather. The second round of food was two types of salad and a corn fritter. I loved the pickled salads as they had a nice crunch to them and tasted delicious. The fritters are a good size but a little bit greasier than I liked. The last round is where all the curries are brought out on a hot plate. There's shrimp, lamb, beef rendang, chicken, tofu etc. There's also white rice and skewers of chicken and beef satay coated in a delicious peanut sauce. Some of the curries I liked very much - like the fried tofu and the sauce on the shrimp curry was divine. Beef rendang fell a little flat for me as it wasn't as decadent, thick or spicy like authentic rendang is. The lamb curry had a sweet taste which I found a little odd. The chicken satay was juicy and delicious but the beef satay was rubbery and hard to chew and a weird texture. I definitely expect better from a satay skewer. Our server was kind and kept the flow of the food going. The final course is a little coconut pandan flan which was very very good but the texture is firmer than what I like. Flan should definitely be a bit softer and creamier. Either way it's tough to nail a 15 course dinner expertly but I do think if they made a few needed changes to the quality of food this would easily be a 5 star experience! If you live nearby, definitely give this beautiful cozy family run restaurant a try!!

Side notes: Family-run place, so if you're going to go here with a bigger group, call early to make…read moresure they have the dishes you want. Would recommend the Bakwan, the Empal Goreng, and the Sayur Santen the most, with the Talor Tahu and various Bakwan being very tasty. Rating is for the area (in Queens, this would be an upper 3 as being a milder but tasty Indonesian spot, but worse than Sky/Awang.) I have been to this small family-run Indonesian restaurant a handful of times since my old review back in 2022, and over the many years, I have found some dishes I have loved more than others, of course. From the small plates, I would recommend, as before, the Bakwan for $9, consisting of crispy corn fritters cooked pancake style with scallion. The texture of the dish is wonderful, and the dipping sauces, whether they be the sweet chili sauce or the peanut sauce, work well to help with the slight oiliness. The sate is also pretty tasty. Of the multiple types, the Chicken Satay was the most recent one we had (which is cheaper at $11,) but I think the beef one (for a buck more) is better. We also had the larger Sate Madura a previous time, which was also very tasty. Another tasty dish is the Talor Tahu for $18, listed as a seasoned egg omelete with bean curd, mushrooms, and veggies glazed with Indonesian soy sauce and shallots. The price might look high for a vegetarian dish, but it is quite large, and the mixture of vegetables adds a nice mix of textures, including a good amount of crunch. The sauce is nice as well, adding a slightly sweet flavor, and goes nicely with the soft omelete. One of the most recent dishes I tried here is one of the best, which was the Empal Goreng for $21, listed as sliced beef marinated in sweet Javanese spices pan fried topped with Indonesian soy sauce. There was plenty of beef, which was cut thin and cooked beautifully, with the flavors reminding me a little bit of lemongrass dishes from Vietnamese spots, outside of it also having a slightly spicy kick. There was otherwise some lettuce, and the dish was served with some achar/acar, an Indonesian (and insert ASEAN country here) mix of pickled vegetables including cucumber, carrots, and onions. My other favorite dish here is a vegetarian dish, which is the Sayur Santen for $18, listed as lightly battered broccoli and cauliflower in Indonesian herbs cooked in spiced coconut milk topped with bean curd and carrots. There is a nice mix of textures, with the batter indeed, as listed, being very light, with the cauliflower and broccoli still retaining some crunch. My favorite part of the dish is the bean curd, which absorbs the delicious slightly sweet, and lightly spicy coconut milk. Another group of dishes that tend to be good are the various Belado, a pepper mixture with various spices that is somewhat similar to a sambal. This is available with Ikan, or crispy fish, for $20, or with Terong, or crispy eggplant and tofu, for $18. The crispy fish was a bit less spicy the most recent time, while the vegetables retained most of the kick from previous dinners, so I slightly preferred the vegetables. If there was one part of the menu to stay away from, it would unfortunately be the various kare, or curry. The Beef Rendang for $21, or pieces of beef simmered for hours in coconut milk and spices, is just alright, being a bit too soupy for my style (as I generally prefer drier rendang in general,) with the spices being a bit too light, whether it is the coconut milk or chili. The same can be said for the $19 Kare Ayam, which is also a bit too mild for my liking. From previous memory, I would also not recommend the Ayam Goreng, or their spiced fried chicken as it's a bit dry. The Nasi Goreng, for a variety of prices depending on protein, is also just OK. The dish listed as Indonesian fried rice with protein, scrambled egg, and protein was $18 in our case, for a chicken/ayam version. The portion was plentiful, but it partially lacked the wok hei I associate with this dish. The egg is nice, and there was enough chicken, but it was also a bit too plain. Speaking of light dishes, they have given us the Pandan Coconut Pudding for $7 a handful of times. This is a lightly flavored pudding with a very mild floral (from the pandan) and coconut flavor. Due to the texture and the light coconut sweetness, it reminds me a bit more of some kue you can find in some spots, such as Lady Wong and otherwise. It's a decent final bite. Outside of one particular part of the menu, I have liked this place every time I've been here. The food in general is pretty consistent, outside of maybe the spice level in a dish or two, but this is more expected in a casual spot such as this one. I'll go back again, probably in another few months, and sample more of their dishes. The rating is for the area, as it would be closer to a 4 in Queens, but I would still go back.
