Delicious Malaysian cuisine! I've visited Malaysia 10+ times and can tell you the food here at Ipoh Garden is as good as it gets in the US. The noodle dishes really have that wok hei flavor. Also, they have the perfect balance of noodles, veggies, meat, etc. Some people may wish there was more meat though. The roti canai was pretty good too! Located very conveniently near the airport. I would definitely come back to try their other dishes. read more

Right off the BART train station, it's a convenient delight to have this Malaysian restaurant easily commutable from where I was staying on the other end of the BART. Roti canai - reliably crispy and comes with a good flavorful furry. Belachan eggplants - the belachan flavor doesn't come across as prominently, and might have been more present if the green beans and eggplants were even softer. I have a preference for really well sautéed vegetables, whereas these still had their crunch--almost as if it were blanched and tossed quickly in the sauce. So if that's the texture you prefer, this would be the dish for you. We ended with a fried banana for dessert, which was a good way to end the meal. read more

The food was tasty and came out quickly. Portions are on the smaller side for the price, but still decent overall. Unfortunately, I can't give this place more than two stars because of how I was treated at the end of my lunch. I paid in cash and was just trying to swap some singles for a $5 so I could leave atleast a 15% tip. I was fumbling around in my pockets for maybe 20 seconds when the waitress came rushing over and in a rude tone told me: "sir, you have to tip 15% minimum." I was literally in the middle of figuring out my tip, so the whole interaction felt completely unnecessary and left a really bad taste especially when the only service she provided was placing down the check. It's unfortunate because I enjoyed the food, but I won't be coming back. read more

tldr rare malaysian restaurant serving up authentic flavors near millbrae BART station with friendly service my partner and i got the char kway teow, chicken satay, and roti canai. it's one of the rare gem places serving malaysian in the bay which has been very hard to find compared to the NYC metro area roti canai 5/5 was the most buttery roti i have had in a really long time! usually the best ones have crispy edges but also pillowy middle, which this one achieves. it comes with two small pancakes so perfect for sharing with two. i have been to southeast asia so u can take my word for it chicken satay 4/5 came last although an app, wish it came before the main entree but it was very authentic and had a good grill on it. peanut sauce was great but wish there were a bit more chicken char kway teow 3.75/5 it was missing a bit of flavor but had good wok hay/char from the wok which is very important for this dish, it needed a bit more lift so needed some hot sauce or supplement with the peanut sauce from the satay service was really friendly and they also speak cantonese! it's definitely a neighborhood joint with old and new customers in an unassuming setting. food may take a bit of time as the restaurant was packed on a sunday at 6pm. parking is a bit of a hassle since they don't have a dedicated lot but we were able to find parking on the street. overall very solid malaysian restaurant,especially when there isn't much competition (other malaysian restaurants) food 4.25/5 service 4/5 ambiance 4/5 value 4/5 read more

The food is not bad at IPOH. We had roti bread 2x $15.90, 2x big three belachan (string beans, okra and egg plant) $40, calamari $20, sizzling lamb $23, sizzling beef $23, ikan bakar (mackerel fish in banana leaf) $26, tom yam seafood soup $18, pineapple fried rice $18, laksa mee $19, chicken wings $12, garlic ginger salmon $23 and a fried banana desert $9.50. Nothing stood out as great. It felt more like Chinese food with a Malaysian twist. The kitchen took a while to make the food as we ordered a lot. Service was fine. read more

Wanted to try a new place (for me) tonight. Decided on this Malaysian spot by the Millbrae Bart Station and I'm glad we did! It was busy when we walked in and as soon as we were seated the entire restaurant filled up! It became lively inside. I noticed on they wall a recognition from Yelp in 2017. It was a "People Love Us" on Yelp mention, that proudly hung on their wall ;) Next time I'm having an order of Roti Canai to myself. It was so yummy!! read more

My first time trying Ipoh Garden. I got the V09okra, eggplant and green beans in shrimp paste. The okra wasn't fully cooked and still a bit hard. There wasn't much flavor overall. All veggies were sitting in chili oil. At $19.95 not worth it at all. Street parking read more

If your tastebuds have been stuck in a monotonous cycle of sadness, do them a massive favor and get over to Ipoh in Millbrae immediately. Came in and ordered a feast that honestly should be framed. First up was the Roti Canai, which was so flawlessly flaky, crisp, and chewy that tearing into it felt like unwrapping a delicious gift, especially after a heavy dunk into that rich, aromatic curry dipping sauce. Next, the Green Curry Chicken arrived bubbling hot in a metal pot like a beautiful, creamy potion of pure happiness, loaded with tender chicken, okra, eggplant, and green beans that made eating vegetables feel like a reward rather than a chore. Then came the Sizzling Beef, putting on an absolute theatrical performance on its hot platter while coating perfectly tender beef, thick-cut onions, and caramelized peppers in a glossy, savory sauce that had me scraping the plate. To put out the delicious fire, the Thai Iced Tea was the ultimate, creamy, sweet savior served over an mountain of ice. The service was lightning fast, the flavors hit like a culinary lightning bolt, and the portions did not play around. Ipoh has officially forced its way into my regular dining rotation, and I'm not mad about it at all! read more

Even though I used to work (somewhat) nearby, and despite passing by more times than I can count, I have to admit that I never felt much of an urge to stop into Ipoh. Curious, as I've always bemoaned the general lack of Southeast Asian options around, but, for whatever reason, I would always pass by without a second thought. However, after finding out from one of my old coworkers that this was where she'd go to whenever she had cravings for her childhood favorites, I knew I had to check this place out...and come back to try even more! Ironically enough, while Ipoh's location makes them super convenient to get to (there's lots of street parking around and SamTrans, BART, and Caltrain are all a short walk away), their nondescript appearance can make them easy to miss if you aren't looking. However, inside, this place is great! The vibe is super cozy and they have tables for groups large or small. As for the menu, it's extensive and chock full of options, from staples like Hainanese Chicken, Laksa, Mee Goreng, Nasi Lemak, Char Koay Teow, and Roti Canai. With nearly 70 other appetizers, soups, noodle soups, vegetarian, poultry, seafood, beef, lamb, stir-fried noodle, rice plates, and desserts to choose from, though, that's far from all they have to offer! -- (#A01) ROTI CANAI - Malaysian Crispy Pancake with Curry Sauce I've had this a few times now (and still no photo) and it's been really tasty every time. The roti is flakey with a lot of layers to it and I LOVE the curry dipping sauce that comes with it. Definitely worth getting! -- (#NR01) CHAR KOAY TEOW - Stir-fried Flat Rice Noodles with Shrimp, Squid, Bean Sprouts, Chives, Eggs, and Soy Sauce I've had this twice and I'm a bit torn. The first time, it was terrific - the noodles were cooked well, they didn't skimp on the seafood, and the dish was straight up delicious. However, the second time, the noodles were overcooked and the dish felt light on seafood. -- (#NR07) NASI LEMAK - Coconut Rice with Peanuts, Chicken Wings, Hard Boiled Egg, Chicken Curry Acar, Onion, and Chili Paste Ehh...this was just okay. The chicken curry was rich, the chicken wing was crispy and moist, and the rice had a strong coconut flavor. Sadly, though, the rice felt a little grainy/undercooked, the acar was really tart, and I wish the chicken had more curry. -- (#N02) LAKSA MEE - Spicy Red Coconut Curry Soup with Yellow Noodles, Shredded Chicken, and Mixed Vegetables Not the best laksa I've had, but it was one of the better ones and easily one of the heftiest. Not only was there a generous amount of chicken, but there was a ton of veggies in this, too. That said, it did make this feel like it didn't have enough noodles in it. -- (#D1) MALAYSIAN ICED TEA Not quite what I expected, but not bad either. I thought this was going to be more like a regular iced tea, rather than a milk tea, but at least it wasn't overly sweet nor overly milky. -- (#P01) HAINANESE CHICKEN with Chili Ginger Sauce A bit different from Chinese Hainan Chicken, but I liked this a lot. The chicken felt meatier, was far more tender, and it didn't have a bunch of bones. I also liked that they drizzled on some soy, but it did make it a little on the salty side. -- (#V03) STRING BEANS BELACHAN - Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic, Onions, and Malaysian Shrimp Paste Sauce To be honest, this was pretty unremarkable. On the plus side, the sauce on this was good and the string beans weren't overcooked. On the other hand, the string beans could've been blistered more and could've used more of the sauce. -- (#BL03) BEEF IN GREEN CURRY with Potatoes, Eggplant, Okra, and Green Beans Other than the choice of meat (I would've preferred chicken), this was great! While I wish the curry had been richer/creamier, it tasted spot on, there was a fair amount of beef, and it was loaded with veggies. Beyond the food, service here is pretty good as well. The workers are all really nice and happy to offer suggestions/help with the menu, the kitchen gets dishes out relatively fast, and I love that they don't really try to rush people to leave even at the end of the night. Since there just don't seem to be many Malaysian restaurants in the Bay Area, it'd be easy to say that Ipoh ranks among the best. However, the things I've tried have legitimately been pretty good. Nothing in particular may have amazed, but it's more than solid and I'd absolutely come back for their Hainanese Chicken, Laksa, and the first version of the Char Koay Teow I had! read more

Was in the area and decided to eat here. We came here expecting great Singaporean/Malaysian food but waas a little disappointed. We ordered some chicken satay, roti canai, Chili Padi beef, and Kangkong belachan. The roti canai was pretty good - crisp and fluflly however, the curry that came with it was blah and quite watered down. The chicken satay and peanut sauce was good. The chili padi beef - we expected it to be spicy was lame (with regard to the spice) and there was hardly any chili padi (thai bird chili) in it. we asked for some hot sauce or sambal and got what looked like sambal oelek. Not spicy at all. The kangkong was bland and did not have much flavor - definitely did not have the belachan (shrimp paste) or chili that this dish should have. Service was friendly. The food is not authentic Singapore/Malaysia cuisine. read more

I've doordashed the Char Kway Teow from here a while ago, but I had my first dine in experience. It was an hour before closing so the restaurant was mostly empty, but the servers were very welcoming. We ordered the Roti Canai, Malaysian Tea, Hainan Chicken, and the Kang Kung Belachan. The water spinach came out first, and it was well seasoned, punchy, with a kiss of the wok hei flavor, sooo addictive. The Hainan chicken came out after, and I thought it was solid. It was meaty and tender, well seasoned, but the sauce accompaniment was okay. Like other Yelpers said, I wish the Roti came out first but it came last and probably the tastiest dish of the night. It was extremely hot and flaky, and the curry sauce was super flavorful. The Malaysian tea was good! Strong and not too sweet. Would definitely return. read more

Service was decent. We were glad to e got there early. read more

Unassuming purple restaurant on the side of El Camino Real. The interior was also very simple with minimal to no decorations. However, the food was absolutely delicious! Every plate we had was a good balance of flavorful while not being too salty. Each dish had its own unique flavors with nothing to critique. Highly recommend coming as a group so you can try multiple dishes at once. The only reason why this is not a 5 star review was because of the service. While the server was very nice, we did have to wait half an hour from the point we sat down to the point that they took our order and another 30 minutes for food to come out. Perhaps it was because there was only one person running the show when the entire restaurant was packed so don't come starving. read more

Had a great lunch at IPOH on a Sunday at noon with my family! The restaurant is bright and the workers were very friendly. We ordered: - Roti (3.5/5) flaky and buttery with a yummy curry sauce, not bad but I've had thinner and flakier! - Hainan Chicken (3.5/5) with Rice (5/5) the rice was delicious with little crispy bits where the rice stuck to the pot and so much savory flavor from the chicken, the chicken was not dry and was already deboned but I think the flavor of the skin could be better. - Basil Tofu (5/5) SO GOOD I was amazed by how crispy the tofu was and the inside was so soft and creamy. The basil sauce they use is so fragrant and I really enjoyed the extra bell peppers they were stirred with. - Char Koay Teow (4/5) really good flavor that was unique! I thought it would be just like chow fun but there was a smokiness and savoriness that was a little different! I wish there was more seafood and more noodles! All the elements of the meal went very well together and made for a great experience. We will definitely be back! We just beat the lunch rush and by the time we were leaving there were some folks waiting for a table. Parking is easy, there is plenty of street parking behind the restaurant (the lot right across the street is for Peter's Cafe so be cautious parking there!) read more

IPOH Garden Malaysian Cuisine - Clockwise: Hainan Chicken, Three Veggie Stir Fry, Roti, Basil tofu, and NR01. Char Koay Teow - Malaysian Near Me - Millbrae, California

We came here right before the lunch rush came in. We decided on take out. When we first arrived half the tables were seated (some before us and some as we came in) by the time we left there was already a full house and new customers seated at the newly opened tables from the first wave. We waited for 37 minutes for three dishes. By the time we got our food the people who came behind us or ordered after us all got their food simply because they were dining in. The food is very basic and though the volume of food was decent, the ingredients for some dishes were extremely lacking. Laksa Mee - flavor was average, noodles were thick tasted overcooked. They skimped out on the chicken it was so dry, and probably 2 oz max, instead filled the soup with okra, bean sprouts, and green beans. Hainanese chicken - chicken texture was just bland and rubbery. Didn't taste anything like quality and very boring flavor. Char koay teow - mostly noodles, the egg was like shredded in size, three shrimps, and five tiny squids, and lacking in bean sprouts. Definitely a rip off for the lack of actual ingredients. Flavor was basic. Would not come again, basically they placed our order last even though we came before more than half the diners. No apology for the extra wait. Ambiance is just very international Asian vibes with random colored walls and ceiling fans. read more

Nice host and hostess. Went on Christmas Eve to try this place with the family. They gave my girls a small Christmas popper gift at the end of our meal. Roti was the favorite - 9/10 though smaller portion. Hainan chicken was 8/10 - balanced flavor with well prepared dipping sauces that compliment the chicken without being overwhelming. Laksa mee N02 was a red curry based broth with noodles and vegetables, as well as a little chicken that was a favorite for one of my daughters - 8/10 Green curry chicken was 6/10 Big three belachan V09 - had high hopes however it was disappointing as the vegetables were largely drenched in oil and soggy without any texture. The oil also minimize the taste of any shrimp paste. 2/10 Pad thai unfortunately was pretty bland and wouldn't order again - 2/10 One of the fee Malaysian places on the Peninsula that we were hoping would be a regular in our rotation but will keep searching. read more

Orders from last visit: Salt & pepper crispy chili fish ($20.95): the flavor was good, but not spicy Big Three Belachan ($18.95): solid / good, the Belachan dishes in general are solid Lala clam ($18.90): the clams were decent, but the flavor is not what we've had in Malaysia Singapore chili tofu ($18.95): it's a sweet and sour sauce, and the tofu we initially didn't like but the more we ate it the more we liked. We still prefer the tofu from Chili Spot in St. Louis. Dry curry beef ($22.95): The sauce was a bit one dimensional and could have used other spices-- but the beef was so tender, chewy and good and almost made up for the sauce Char koay teow ($17.95): Good! And has wok hei. Only 3 shrimps but they're good and mostly squid. Almost getting there with the ones we've had in Penang but of course the price here is multiple times fold (known to have the best best char koay teow in Malaysia) Next time: other beef dishes since they're beef is good, pumpkin dish (under vegetables), explore the lamb dishes read more

Visiting a friend in town and she brought me to her fav Malay spot. Super cozy inside and very hospitable family-owned business. Service was fast and good. Gave good recommendations upon request. The menu has so many incredible choices of authentic dishes. We did family style. My friend's favorite (and now mine) was the laksa mee noodle soup. It's a rich umami flavor and fills you with a warm cozy feeling. It's not overly salty. We also got the crispy pumpkin which was a treat but it does have a similar flavor profile to the laksa mee. I also heard the Roti appetizer tastes similar so if you want a variety of I'd pick one or the other. Our group had a good laugh after one of us was struggling to ladle the broth and noodles into our small bowls, so one of the servers came over and literally spooned the whole soup into each of our bowls. It was kind and amusing. We were pleased haha. We also got the classic Char Koay Teow. Compared to the mediocre oil-soaked black bean chow fun I got at a different restaurant a few weeks back, this koay teow is premium. Can't go wrong with this choice. Plus it's got a tiny hint of a spicy kick. Very subtle. Lastly, in trying to add even more variety, I got the Nasi Lemak which included coconut infused rice surrounded by an assorted "banchan-like" side dishes. Like sautéed sweet onions, ?kimchi, roasted peanuts, a crispy chicken wing(wasn't my favorite), cucumber, small egg, and glazed white chicken meat. It was a fun plate! And finally, for takeaway/takeout, I ordered pineapple fried rice (not pictured) to eat later. That's a great one. It also includes shrimp and raisins. Super hearty! I wanted to try the rambutan juice but they were out of that and out of the longan juice Overall, IPOH is a wonderful spot. Lively, warm and inviting. No dishes we have had had disappointed at all. So you must try it at least once. read more

I have been SEARCHING, nay, PRAYING for a spot in the bay which does a good wat dan hor and HERE IS THE ANSWER. This spot has an air of south east Asia to it, from the decor, the laid backness to even the fans on the ceiling. The servers were friendly and remind me of uncles and aunties in Singapore The wat dan hor is extremely nostalgic to me and they do a great job with charring the noodles to give the essential wok hei. The dish is HUGE though we devoured it in no time at all Roti canai was a dream as well, flaky with a curry sauce which had a great spice level to it. My only gripe is that I want even more sauce to drown my roti in We also got kang kung in the name of health, also so good and I'm definitely glazing these dishes due to their nostalgia for me. Again a large portion though I would have wanted even more spiciness. Drinks were also served in big mugs, can't really fault this place, great food, good portions and I'll definitely be back for everything else.

It's sauteed with lots of shrimp paste here and is saltier than I prefer but still good Basil chicken- always good Mee goreng- this was okay, a little lacking in flavor but mixing in the kang kung added salt to it Hainanese Chicken with Rice- we usually get chicken and rice when it's available and it was good here too Small portions and a little pricey, but still overall an enjoyable meal read more

The restaurant does not have its own parking lot but it is easy enough to find parking on the street. The inside of the restaurant looks nicer and cleaner than what we expect from its exterior. I love Hainanese Chicken rice and this version is pretty satisfying. A big bowl of fragrant rice with some tender pieces of chicken. The Big Three Balachan is very delicious, the beans are crispy fresh, the eggplant vibrantly purple and buttery. We find the flavor on the mild side, and the lady at the next table, who is from Malaysia, told us that they toned down the spices for American palate. So if you love balachan in its stinky glory, do ask the waitstaff to go heavy on it. We didn't know, but the waitress was kind enough to bring us extra balachan on the side. A wonderful last meal before we head to the airport to go home. read more

Wish there was more than one. - Filled me up, couldn't even finish it all THE BAD ° The hard-boiled egg with the Nasi Lemak still had some shell still left on it. THE UGLY ° (minor gripe) feel like the place could be tidied up just a little bit. - But it also just gives authentic vibes to it. read more

The establishment is clean and nicely spaced out. The servers greet you when you come in and allow you to sit wherever. Once seated, they provide you with water and the menu. We ordered the following: X2 Thai iced tea X3 Roti Canai X1 Chicken satay X1 Pad Thai Overall the food leaned more to the bland side, making us wish we requested for the Sriracha like the other table we saw. It may also be because we didn't properly read the reviews and selected what made this place rare so high. If we ever return, I'd opt for something else as the only order I enjoyed was probably the Thai iced tea because they come in large mugs. read more

This is an authentic Malaysian restaurant, easy to find but less easier to park nearby. When you arrive, you should drive to the railway side to get a spot.

The char kua tew is surprisingly good with a good wok hay! The bar kuu tea is strong and full with a flavor with Chinese medicine.

There are plenty of two hours free parking spots around this restaurant. We went there around 12 noon on a weekday for lunch and this place was pretty empty. They have an extensive menu. We ordered bunch of items to share. We ordered the Chicken Satay, Roti Canai, Cumin Lamb, Big Three Belachan, Mango Chicken, Pad Thai, Lala Clams, and Nasi Lemak. For dessert, we had Mango Sticky Rice and the Banana Goreng. The Roti Canai was luke warm when it got to our table. The Chicken Satays were the smallest pieces of chicken on skewers that we ever had. The Cumin Lamb was tender and flavorful. The Big Three Belachan was bland, and we couldn't taste any shrimp paste flavor. The Mango Chicken was mostly batter. There was barely any chicken. We were expecting stir fried chicken with mangos like other restaurants verses to fried battered chicken. The Pad Thai was the worst we ever had. They didn't use Pad Thai noodles and the sauce was totally off. The Lala clams were tasty and had a nice kick to it. Nasi Lemak was just ok, nothing special about it. The Banana Goreng was fried bananas with two scoops of ice cream. The Mango Sticky Rice wasn't too sweet, which we liked. There are two stalls in the women's bathroom. One of the toilets was dysfunctional. They used a piece of cardboard to cover the water tank, and the handle to flush the toilet didn't work at all. read more
