    As I get older the more I crave my ethnic food. Married to someone not my same race sometimes makes it difficult to eat out. We don't like the same food. I am so glad to find this hidden gem! Casual dining with authentic Chinese Malay Singaporean style cuisine. And the desserts are authentic too! I celebrated the year of the Horse with this Asian dessert!

    Been wanting to try this place for awhile. They have really friendly service and a nice entry way to Malaysian-Chinese food fusion. We went with what they recommended and I enjoyed the chicken with ginger and the noodles was delicious as well. Place is somewhat small, but seems like several people got carry out, so I'm guessing that is their main business. Nice place to try if you never had Malaysian food before

    A hole in a wall kind of place! But probably the best food in town. I never had Malaysian cuisine so I knew either i would never come back or this could be my go to place for the some awesome meal. Chef was brilliant in curating the curries (lamb curry was dope) and my fav was the mango dish Service was quick. Where the person taking our orders was able to talk on the recipes. Hell ya definitely coming back!

    Amazing family owned joint! The owners are so sweet and the food is one of a kind. The menu is super extensive but we keep trying new things and everything has been delicious. The rendangs are all great and so are the curries. The Nasi Lemak is so good. We recently had their desserts and they were unique and tasty too. The owner really brings his unique flavors from his country which is such a blessing to be able to get access to!

    Char Kuay Teow!
    Mark N.

    All right, me and hubby were looking for a great little Malaysian spot and boy. Is this a hole in the wall! We were greeted by a very nice young man upon entry and boy. Did we notice that there was hardly any seating inside! We sat down. We were given menus that probably could have been wiped down a few times before we got to them and looked at a very tempting menu! We ordered roti paratha and char kuay Teow - and the flavor was spot on for both! I really enjoyed the food for sure-it appears they do a lot more takeout because the restaurant just doesn't have enough room for customers. But the biggest problem was seriously expensive and outrageously high service charge that was not noted on the menu before we ordered. Now I usually give a very nice 20% tip and did so here but when I looked at the printed receipt, I saw a mandatory service charge that was almost as much as the tip-I was a bit blown away! I will go again, but I won't tip if the service charge remains. That said? I will go again because the flavor was spot on, and my Malaysian friends would be satisfied eating there. I am that certain. If you want to try a nice flavor of Malaysian food? This is a great place to try.

    Malaysian style okra and Crab Meat Egg Drop Soup
    Bill G.

    I'm going to go ahead and give this place a 5 star review based on my single visit. I was going to wait until I've ordered here a few times to give a more comprehensive review of their dishes, but I'm going to guess that it's going to be all 5 stars anyway. I ordered an unusual choice I suppose, which was Malaysian style stir fried okra. I also had the crab meat egg drop soup. Everything was superb! "Tiny" doesn't begin to describe the interior. Plan on getting your food to go. When I was in there, the couple of tables were filled by a families with young children. I could sense that they were regulars here. It somehow endeared me more to this place, even after squeezing by, and around them to pay my bill and collect my food. The kind owner lady apologized for the small quarters, but at the same time, you could tell she was proud of her little spot here, and she's confident about the food she serves here. They offer a lot of authentic (based on Yelp reviewers more familiar with this cuisine) and inventive sounding choices. Although it's a 35 minute drive for me, I absolutely will be back!

    Located in a strip mall off Dundee, this hole-in-the-wall has delicious Malaysian cuisine. I loved the Nasi Lemak (national dish with blue rice, egg, cucumber and chicken) and found that the Haianese Chicken with rice was very tasty. The blue rice is made from butterfly pea flower. My order was really easy to place and it was ready and warm for pick up. There's not a lot of dining space but many people I saw picked up carry out orders. The portions are generously sized and I'm excited to try other dishes on the menu. Service was friendly. Will return again.

    Chinese Pancakes with Beef.
    Kitty L.

    This was the third time that I went to HD Cuisine for carryout orders. What made this pickup so special was that, Lin (one of the owners), who was busy helping in the kitchen at the time, came out to say Hi and thank me when her daughter told her that I was in! That made me feel very touched! This kind of hospitality is hard to find! There were two customers dining in at the time, and a third one standing at the door waiting for her order. I always ordered on the phone, and my orders were always ready when I went at the time that they promised. So, I suspected that the customer might have ordered at the restaurant, and hence had to wait. This time we still ordered the Penang Char Koay Teow with Shrimp (with no bean sprouts), which has become my favorite from HD Cuisine. We also ordered a Singapore Fried Noodles, and Chinese Pancakes with Beef. The Chinese Pancakes were fluffy and had light crispy skin, I enjoyed them very much. The other two dishes had "Wok Hei" that not many other carryout restaurants can offer! All the food was very tasty and flavorful. I am glad that I found this restaurant from Yelp!

    Wow, some of the best food that I've has in a long time! This is your little gem-hole in a wall- take out joint with amazing food. They have a few folding tables in and outside the restaurant, but most of their businesses is take out. They sell very delicious Malaysian/Penang. The staff is very friendly, although a bit limited. Indian Murtabak and Lentil Curry: Little pockets of a curried chicken mixture with delicious lentil curry to dip it in. Perfect Appetizer! Penang Char Koay Teow with Chicken: fresh ingredients with rice noodles! Malaysian Mee Goreng with Beef: yummy and flavourful noodle dish. Nasi Lamak with chicken rendang: so very flavorful! Savory, spicy, and crunchy. So so so good! I can't wait to come back to try more dishes!

    I ordered a to go from HD Cuisine for lunch. Place is definitely small with only a few chairs inside and outside. The person taking my order was friendly and I believe he was also the one cooking my meal. I didn't have to wait long for my food. I got the Penang char koay teow with beef since it was suggest one of the most popular dish there. Yummy and flavorful. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

    I had been wanting to go to HD (Hawker Delight's) Cuisine for a while and just recently got a chance to check it out. I have had the type of pan-Asian food they serve here not only at a different restaurant in Chicago burbs but also, in Singapore. So, I was familiar with their type of cuisine. I did a dinner carry-out from here. I ordered their (C2) Malaysian Ayam Masak Merah which is a chicken in sauce dish that comes with rice, (N2) Filipino Fried Pancit Bihun which is a stir-fry noodles dish with some veggies & egg that I got with chicken, and (N11) Penang Hokkien Mee which is a noodles soup dish with shrimp, fish balls, pork slices, veggies, hard boiled egg in a shrimp flavored stock. I was informed that the order would be ready in 25 minutes when I placed the order and it indeed was ready in timely manner when I went to pick it up. The restaurant employee at the front counter helped me with taking plasticware and chopsticks. I received good service while paying and picking up my order. The restaurant itself is pretty small and the dining area is even smaller. So, dining in is not a good option unless you're flying solo or have just one additional person with you. And that too will only work if other patrons haven't already occupied the sitting area. During warm weather months, they do have some outdoor seating available. Let's talk about the food now. I really liked all the dishes I ordered. My top favorite was the noodles soup dish. That shrimp flavored stock of the soup was everything. It was aromatic, rich, and full of flavor. The noodles (a combo of yellow and rice) were properly cooked and it's taste along with the soup was just perfect for my liking. I couldn't get enough of it. Having it made spicy was a plus. Drinking the hot spicy soup was soul soothing. A bonus in that soup was fish balls which were not mentioned in the menu. This dish is highly recommended. My next favorite were the Pancit noodles. I hadn't had them in a while so, it was a logical choice and worth it for that matter. This dish was also well prepared and its flavor was pretty good. I liked the noodles texture and flavor that were stir fried with chicken, egg and veggies (cabbage, carrots, celery, onions). I had it made medium spicy and it came out good. Last but not least, the Ayam Masak dish was fairly decent. It's a semi saucy chicken (bone-in) dish prepared with chilies and spices in a chef special tomato sauce. I had it made medium spicy but should have gotten it spicy. It had a bit of sweet taste and I didn't care for the chicken being bone-in. The menu didn't clarify that. Overall, I had a good experience here with my take-out order. The food was delicious, prices were reasonable and I received good service. Their menu has a nice variety to choose from including beverages and desserts. Also, check out their specials of the day which are not on their carry-out menu. E.g., they have Hainanese Chicken and Rice and Cumin Lamb dishes. I would highly recommend checking out this restaurant.

    Went by a second time and got a few new dishes to try. Malaysian Mee Goreng --this was super interesting. I could taste a bit of the Asian ketchup/tomato sauce in the flavor profile. Slightly sweet and sour. And savory. Kinda like Italian pasta with a major Asian spin and flavor profile. Had potato, fried tofu slides, peanuts/nuts? Eggs. Onion. Really flavorful. Slightly spicy but like 3/10 on spicy level, barely noticeable but the kids will. Beef Rendang-- this was super delicious. The curry paste flavor was strong and beef was very tender. Great over white rice and let the rice soak up the sauce. This reminds my husband of how his mom makes beef stew, which also had major Southeast Asian influence in the way she made it. This unfortunately was also a little bit too spicy for my kids, but it's perfect for us. Bo Bo Cha Cha-- had no idea what this dessert was, so thought to try it. I tried the chilled version after refrigerating and the heated version and liked both. The heated version surprisingly didn't taste sour, which is what you typically get with banana. The creaminess and sweetness really come through and I liked that the heated version the tapioca was also soft. Chilled version the tapioca was a bit too hard in its core. The dessert is actually pretty sweet, but it's like the Asian type or sweet, so it's not too sharp. They had all sorts of roots in it-- red sweet potato that's soft, taro, purple sweet potato which was kind of crunchy, etc. it was really pleasant, lots of flavors and textures. I probably will get a tub for holidays to share with family. Very unique!

    I stopped by HD Cuisine because I never had Malaysian food before. This small restaurant is in a plaza next to the dollar store. There are many only 3 tables indoors and 2 more outside. Space is extremely limited if you are considering dining in. If you are, avoid lunch or dinner rush. The food definitely tastes great when eaten right when it's made. We ordered the Malaysian Mee Goreng lunch special , chicken rice lunch special and for dessert, Pulut Hitam. The Malaysian Mee Goreng reminds me a bit of another version of Pad Thai. The yellow noodles are chewy, mixed with chicken, eggs, bean sprouts and tofu in a semi spicy sweet potato peanut sauce. Oh and the chunks of tiny potatoes in the dish are my favorite!! I love it! I can eat this dish a few times a week! Lol Since I stopped by during lunch hour, it also came with an egg roll and drink. The tiny egg roll was crispy and delicious. Love the dipping sauce that came with it too! The chicken dish we got was pretty much like Hainan chicken. The ginger/ scallion dipping sauce give the chicken a boost of flavor. The white rice that comes with it was my favorite too! Has a nice broth like flavor infused in it. We originally wanted to get Bo Bo Cha Cha since it was a popular dessert dish but they ran out already :( Pulut Hitam was oh so delicious!!! Highly recommend. The dish consists of black glutinous rice pudding with drizzles of coconut cream. I inhaled this bowl of dessert even though I was already so full lol I think there was also a few pieces of dried longan fruit. They also make some Chinese , Filipino, and Thai dishes as well. I cannot wait to come back and try their other dishes and maybe finally get try their Bo Bo Cha Cha dessert before it sells out!

    Is this halal restaurant and if it is there is pork on the menu right?

    You can choose halal certified chicken and lamb dishes. HD Cuisine also has halal option for beef rendang. Be sure to specify when ordering as we do have pork on the menu. Our kitchen staff throughly cleanses and keeps the proteins separated.

    Do they have tables for a dine-in option?

    When I was there they had one little table for 2 by the door. Not particularly comfortable but possible if no one else is there.

    Do you have any halal meats?

    Yes Come in to dine

    Are there gluten free options? Thanks!

    You can ask GF noodle options and I know they have GF soy sauce

There's a kind of "night out" vibe here, even if you're just grabbing dinner on a random weeknight. The menu is creative, with specialty rolls and fusion-style dishes that feel a little more elevated than your standard lineup. When it's on, it's really on. Service is iffy to be honest. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable, and the whole experience feels polished. Drinks are well-crafted, and the patio (when open) adds a whole extra layer to the experience. That said, this is where the missing fifth star lives. Shakou can be a little inconsistent. Some visits feel like a five-star experience, others land closer to "really good, but not unforgettable." A few dishes might lean a bit too sweet or not quite balance the flavors, and during busier times, things can feel a little rushed or loud. But even with that, it's still an easy recommendation. This is a great spot when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale without going full fine dining. It's stylish, flavorful, and usually delivers a really solid experience. Four stars, comfortably... with just enough flashes of brilliance to make you keep coming back!

We had to stand in the lobby for 5 minutes without much information, while other groups who came in without a reservation after us were seated before us. Furthermore, the reservation was for the "Patio" and while technically we were seated on the "Patio", I would say it was the bottom rung of the patio. Sat at the first table outside the restaurant, underneath the awning with a bird's nest overhead chirping the entire time. Essentially in my opinion, when you make a reservation somewhere, you don't really expect to be seated in probably the worst location they have to offer. Food was pretty decent. We had two bowls basically. Both were okay, like any Sushi style restaurant, prices were a bit high, especially considering their location in the heart of the AH downtown. I would come again, but for a first try it wasn't anything special for sure.

My kids ordered the spider roll, dragon roll and beef udon that came with a california roll. The rolls were a good size and had a good ratio of rice to other ingredients. The pieces of sashimi are good sized with appropriate amount of rice in each piece. The salmon kama is a nice appetizer. It comes out scorching hot and crispy. It can be tricky to eat because of the bones, but worth the work! I really like the design of the booths with the authentic decor resembling Japanese architecture. I don't like that the tables are consistently sticky when we eat there and if we don't get a booth, the tables are wobbly. No matter where we sit, there is always a table with a wobbly leg. The service is always super welcoming and friendly. Our waiter may have been new and still in training because we waited 24 mins from when we asked for the check until it was brought to us. And even then, I had to ask the busboy to remind our server for the check because he kept walking in and out of the room taking other tables' orders and refilling water. Upon realizing the long waiting time, the server was apologetic and still very kind which I appreciated. As we were leaving all the other staff made a point to say thank yous and good byes.

    I have been eating TTOWA for over a decade(?) since I came across Terry's stand at a festival in…read moreDTAH. The food is consistently delicious, the service wonderful, and it always makes me feel special when Terry greets me at the restaurant! There are tables accessible at the time I eat dinner, haha, but they fill up later! The restaurant is dark and quiet and the bathroom is clean. We're a bibimbap family--chicken and pork, respectfully. Sometimes in a hot stone bowl, sometimes not. The buns, japchae, and assorted bonchon are all delicious, too. I prefer the aioli sauce over the traditional sauce on my bibimbap. I still remember how during COVID Terry had the ability to donate meals to thank the frontline workers. Also, one time, something was missing from my delivery order and Terry himself drove it to my house to apologize! Those are the offerings and moments that make a giant difference. Overall, I am always happy with the food, service, and love supporting a small, local business!

    The only words you need to know: Dak buns, hot stone bowl, pork belly, craft beer. Or simply order…read morewhatever you want... it won't matter because it's all spectacular. This is not Korean BBQ where you get a plate of raw meat and cook it at the table; if you want that kind of "interactive dining experience," head up to Vernon Hills, Ttowa has the experts in the kitchen to do the work for you (not to mention, better than most of us ever could). Did I mention the dak buns? Just to be sure: Dak Buns!!!

    Had a very nice lunch at Kimbop. I tried the beef bulgogi bento box and my wife had a couple of…read moresushi rolls. We thought the sushi was pretty, and had good textures, but wasn't very flavorful. The bulgogi was less pretty, but tasty, with rice and glass noodles and a standard salad. The miso soup was good. The place is small, but there are a half dozen tables, and everything is decorated and there is music playing. It seemed cozy and cheerful. The server was very helpful and quick to respond to questions or requests. We will have to come back to try the fried chicken and the ramen and see what we like best.

    I've ordered takeout from Kimbop in the past, but this was my first time dining in. The place is a…read morelittle bigger than I expected! We started with crab Rangoon, which we both enjoyed. For our entrees, we both ordered sushi. I wish I could remember the name of the roll I ordered, but it disappeared from my mind the moment my friend's food came. I ordered one sushi roll, which arrived in 10 pieces on a regular plate. Whatever it was, it was fine. Meanwhile, my friend ordered 2 crunch rolls, which arrived on a massive wooden platter. Twenty pieces in all, but substantially more food than you'd expect from two rolls. And, it was really, really good! We ended up sharing both of our entrees, and had an entire crunch roll leftover to bring home. A few weeks later, I'm still thinking about that spicy crunch. I'll definitely order one for myself the next time I'm there.
