    Roti Canai - Malaysian-style Indian flatbread with curry dip
    Vic L.

    I've been meaning to try this place out for a while now but there always seemed to be a long line outside. So it's nice to finally get a chance to dine in. I came on a week day a little before the lunch rush and didn't have to wait long. PARKING: There is a small parking lot in the back (mostly marked for the clinic) with additional spots in their underground garage. SEATING: It's a medium size place which is ideal for parties of 1-6 people. It's a hybrid booth and chair situation. FOOD: The Roti Canai appetizer was yummy and the curry dip was pretty mild for those who can't handle spice. We ordered the soft-boiled organic pastured egg (2 per order) and it came in this container where we were told to wait for the water to drain. Sadly, I would describe the egg as barely boiled since both the yolk and egg white had not solidified. I prefer my eggs a little more cooked so I passed on it. The salt & pepper chicken wings were solid. Loved the crispy skin and there was plenty of meat. The Dry Wonton Mee with curry chicken was packed with a lot of flavor. It also had a mild kick to it. The wonton was served in a smaller bowl with soup. Their Hainan Chicken which was okay. It came with three dipping sauces and some sliced cucumbers. Overall, I thought the flavor was good. Plates were a decent size and great for sharing. If you are craving Malaysian/Singaporean food, this place will scratch that itch. I do plan on coming back to try their other dishes.

    We had just visited Malaysia and were missing the food there. We decide to go to Ipoh Kopitiam during our 48hr SoCal trip. The food was amazing and the pricing was extremely reasonable. We LOVED the roti, it was made in a way where the bottom was more dense and soft and chewy. The Hainan Chicken Rice was tender and made perfectly. The only thing is that the ginger sauce was a little lacking in flavor. We sat outside but it wasn't too noisy at all. It was a little dim but each table has a mini lamp. Service was friendly and quick. We loved that there is parking on site. Definitely put yourself on the waitlist on Yelp to prevent a long wait.

    Normally there is a huge line every time I drive past, but this time I got lucky! I came during their afternoon tea menu, but was still able to get their Hainan Chicken which I heard is what they are known for. The service was quick and the food tasted great! I have to compare it to Savoy Kitchen which is the other famous Hainan Chicken place, I would say you can taste the quality difference! Definitely worth trying out at least once!

    Ordered food togo and it took about 17-18 minutes for it to be done. It was during dinner so it was busy. The chicken wing was crispy and juicy. Not too salty either You cant really go wrong with the hainan chicnese since its their specialty but the rice was a bit too dry for me. I had to drown it in the soy sauce they provided. The red sauce was actually spicy today. Might have changed their recipe since it did look like it had more oil that usual.

    I've eaten here several times and despite the often long lines I keep coming back. The food is really good and service is fast. I like the variety on the menu. The only downside for me are the lines to get a table. When I went after 1pm on Saturday, there were more than 20 parties ahead of us!

    Staff were friendly and efficient. The tables were clean and the food was delicious! We enjoyed the roti, the spicy dipping soup sauce was my favorite. The salt and pepper chicken wings were good too. The Singaporean noodle soup was comforting and the stir fry beef noodles were really good too. The hot Milo and Malaysian milk tea reminded me of a Hong Kong cafe.

    Came here for an early dinner. Heard this place is very good and the wait can be long if you come later. Glad we came here at 5pm. You can find parking in the back of the restaurant and there also an underground parking. We parked in the underground parking and took the elevator up to the street level. The restaurant is nice and clean. Plenty of tables. They also have outdoor seatings. They have two sets of menus depending on the time of day. One set of menu is their Lunch/Dinner Menu. The other Menu is their Tea Time Menu, which is from 3:00pm - 4:45pm. We got seated right away since we came at 5pm. The staffs were nice and welcoming. We ordered the A1 - Roti Canai for Appertizer. For the Main Dishes, we got the R1 - Singapore Style Hainan Chicken Rice and the R4 - Nasi Lemak w/ Rendang Curry Beef. Foods came out so quickly. We loved the Roti Canai, it was so good. The Singapore Style Hainan Chicken Rice was not bad at all. It was tasty. As for the Nasi Lemak w/ Rendang Curry Beef, wow, it was so good! Loved every bites. I finished the whole thing. It was that good! Loved it! Would definitely come back here again in the future.

    We waited 45 min -1 hour on a Friday. A1 Roti Canai $9.50 is really good and shareable. The pancake is fluffy and light and combined with the sauce is even better. N3 Singapore Curry Laksa Noodle Soup $16.95 is really good and highly recommended. It's a big portion and the flavor is delicious. It has a slight sour taste to it. I definitely regretted not ordering this one. But I got to try a little of my friends. R4 Nasi Lemak with Rendang Curry Beef $17.95 is good but I wanted a more soupy dish. The meat and sauce is good. Meat is well seasoned and not dry. Parking is tight but the underground has bigger spaces.

    Place is clean and well maintained. Got the Nasi Lemak and Malaysia Fried Rice Noodles and they were equally delicious. Very filling for breakfast. Parking is good with underground parking and street parking. Service is good and shall be back again.

    If you're craving legit Malaysian comfort food in the SGV, Ipoh Kopitiam in Alhambra definitely delivers!! This spot is always busy (expect a wait), but it makes sense once you taste the food. They really lean into traditional Ipoh-style flavors, and you can tell they care about authenticity. My personal favorites were the Milo (so rich and nostalgic) and the kaya toast. It was crispy, buttery, and perfectly sweet. Super simple but so satisfying. A lot of people rave about the wings and the Hainanese chicken rice too, and honestly, they live up to the hype. Overall: worth it for the flavors alone. I'll definitely be back.

    Suhyun K.

    Been wanting to try this spot and decided to try with my roommate! I love that they have yelp waitlist so I don't have to wait outside. The store itself is small but they are very fast. I personally really liked their appetizers more than their entree but I want to try the curry noodles next time! I would say the price is cheaper compared to the quality that you get. Would come back!

    I LOVE IPOH KOPITIAM! Wait time is always so long though, but it's worth it imo. This food reminds me of home (Indonesia) especially the char kwe tiaw and the rendang. The have inside and outdoor seatings. I always come back for the kwe tiaw, it's SOOO GOOOOD. Every other menu that we tried was also good, NOTHING ever disappoint. I love taking all my friends/family here.

It can get a little pricey if you order a bunch of dishes with a group but it is completely worth it for the quality you are getting. One nice bonus is their loyalty program. If you spend over 50 dollars they give you a stamp card and once you collect ten stamps you get around 20 dollars off or a free dish. Definitely a good incentive to keep coming back. If you are looking for authentic Indonesian food in the Rosemead area I honestly do not think there is a better option than Medan Kitchen. Highly recommend giving it a try.

My parents have been coming here since their hey days, and I apparently came here with them as a baby. Quality and authenticity of the food here is so good. First of all, we came about 40 minutes before closing. They were about to seat us outside, but then the waiter noticed that we had two babies int he party. He was so nice. As soon as he saw that, he told the restaurant we couldn't sit outside, that we should be inside because it was cold and dark out. He earned major kudos from my mom with that thoughtful gesture. We ordered 2 orders of the hainan chicken with rice, beef curry, fish with cream sauce and pasta, and duck pasta. Everything was amazing. The hainan chicken rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was a clear favorite in the group. The beef curry was filled with umami, and the beef was braised so tender. The beef curry was my dad's and my favorite. My husband and daughters enjoyed the duck pasta the most. It had the essence of a spaghetti, which the little girls loved, but the uniqueness of duck which my husband loved. My mom really liked the fish in cream sauce. No fuss or frills, just delicious food and fast service. If I lived nearby, we'd come much more often!

Parking is easy enough and plentiful if you use the neighborhood but be mindful of pedestrians. You can see school kids walking around during the weekday. The food is where this place deserves my respect. I'll have to come back to taste the rest of the menu but the three I got were delicious. Roasted Cornish Hen: crispy and savory. The meat is a little dry but it goes well with the three dipping sauces they provide as well as the moist seasoned rice that it comes with. It may be a bit dry for some people but that's the riddle of the Cornish hen, it's quite difficult to have it be moist AND crispy. Baked Escargot with Herbed Butter went very nicely with the bread it was paired with. The slight sweetness of the bread coupled with the herbaceous butter and snail made for a decadent bite every time. I'd love there to be more butter so that it doesn't run out before the bread does. Baked White Fish Filet was moist and delicate in flavor. You get a choice for the sauce: tomato, cheese, or cream. We chose cream and it worked very well. Both the cream and the fish were delicate enough but still presented their own flavors. Will definitely come back. Service is quick. You write your name and they try to seat you ASAP. DO NOT COME PARTIAL!!!!! They will not seat impartial parties during rush hour. Remember that and fact it in!

They serve authentic Indonesian foods that remind me of Jakarta. Today I was really craving Ayam Goreng Kremes, because it's been many years since the last time I had it. Nasi Ayam Kremes is a combination of Indonesian style fried chicken, white rice, perkedel (fried potato pattie), fried tofu, fried tempeh, and sayur asem soup. The chicken is deep fried after it's been cooked in herbs and fully marinated. Very flavorful as I can really taste the different herbs and spices. Over the fried chicken is a generous serving of savory crunchy crumbs. There's also a side of medium spicy house sambal. I would recommend adding some kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) and use this as dipping sauce. The half fried chicken is rather small, about the size of a Cornish hen. The soup is pretty good, even though I am not a fan of sayur asem soup. This tamarind-based soup contains green beans, chayote, corn rounds, and peanuts. The deep fried marinated tofu and tempeh are so yummy! They truly remind me of the good ol' days living in Indonesia, as they are the staple foods of the locals. The perkedel is just passable, possibly because it is served cold. Unfortunately, it isn't as crispy as it should be. The restaurant is small. Other than the kitchen crew, only one person was doing all the work. Good and very friendly service. My order did take a long time, however. If you're in a rush, you may want to eat somewhere else. Indo Bistro is the place where you really want to "santai" which means relax, take it easy. Indo Bistro is an Indonesian restaurant, mini-mart hybrid. They sell a variety of pre-packaged Indonesian snacks, shelf stable groceries, and also freshly-made market snacks, such as pastel, lemper, bakcang, rempeyek, etc. I also tried their savory snack Lemper, which is sticky rice stuffed with shredded chicken that's been cooked in coconut milk. After it is wrapped in fresh banana leaf, it is then char-grilled. Their lemper is really good, but very greasy. It's basically food and lip gloss in one. BOGO Lol Next time when I'm craving more Indonesian food, I'll be coming back to Indo Bistro. They have really good chicken satays.

I really enjoyed the texture of the fish roe on top of the fried rice - I've never had something like this before. I also ordered the truffle wok seared noodles with beef (I liked the mushrooms in this dish). For dessert, I had the Vietnamese coffee flan and the pink mekong. I loved the presentation of the pink Mekong, and the various fruits were yummy. As for the atmosphere, it was very cozy and I took a lot of nice photos in the front of the restaurant by the pond. This restaurant would be perfect for a romantic date night or a lunch with the girls. The service was great - everything was very timely and detail-oriented. Everyone was kind and attentive, I felt very welcome.

    And to think - my husband and I were going to cancel our reservation because of a food influencer…read morethat could not have been more wrong about their assessment of this restaurant! The food was tasty and not overly salty as previously mentioned by others. The portions were generous, more than enough for a party of four. The service was excellent! Thank you to Conner and his team that served us during our meal. The price is affordable! We've been to other places that have charged more for less. A good option for large groups, they have plenty of space! My main goal for this review is to encourage giving this place a try for anyone that is on the fence! I know when we were reading/watching reviews, it was mixed but we gave this place a try anyways and we enjoyed it! Hopefully folks are pleasantly surprised!

OBVIOULSY, I and was pleasantly surprised by how well everything was prepared. The drinks were excellent...especially the Iced Tea and Hong Kong Coffee Milk Tea. I really appreciated that neither drink was overly sweet, allowing the tea and coffee flavors to shine through. One detail that stood out was how thoughtfully the food was served because the sauce for the fish and walnut shrimp was kept separate instead of being poured over the dishes. This helped maintain the texture and prevented everything from getting soggy before it reached the table. The pork we ordered was tender, flavorful, and most importantly, not greasy or overly salted. The skin wasn't hard ans overly crunchy. The crunch was light. My favorite dish of the meal was the string beans with ground meat. The beans were cooked just right with plenty of flavor, making it the standout dish for me. The staff were also wonderful throughout the meal. They were polite, attentive, and quick to help whenever needed. Great service paired with well-executed food made for an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely come back again.

    I know Henry's Cuisine has a strong following and plenty of glowing reviews, so this is simply my…read morepersonal experience after two visits. My first dinner here was actually quite positive. I came with a large group of 7 adults and 4 kids on a very busy night, with a crowd waiting outside the restaurant. Despite how packed it was, service moved steadily and dishes came out in a timely manner. Most of the food felt very homey -- the kind of comforting dishes that reminded me of meals my grandmother used to make. That first visit was pleasant enough that I decided to bring my dad back specifically to try their signature Vietnamese lobster dish. Unfortunately, the second visit turned out to be disappointing. We intentionally came for lunch to avoid the dinner rush and were seated within 5 minutes. The restaurant was only about 75% occupied. Drinks arrived quickly, and we ordered salt and pepper tiger shrimp, green beans, and the house special lobster with an extra order of e-mein noodles on the side. Our server briefly returned with a live lobster in a metal bowl, mumbled "4 pounds," and walked away. A few minutes later, the shrimp and green beans arrived along with rice. We ate, waited, and continued waiting. By the time we had completely finished the two dishes -- probably about 25 minutes later -- nobody had checked on us, updated us about the lobster dish, or even acknowledged the delay. We finally flagged down another staff member and asked for the check because at that point the lobster still had not arrived and we were ready to leave. We asked if the lobster could simply be removed from the bill, but were told it was already being prepared. Ironically, the lobster dish finally appeared moments later, the e-mein noodle followed a few minutes later. For what is marketed as their signature dish, the lobster itself was honestly not very memorable. The preparation with green onion and basil was interesting since it was our first time trying lobster this way, but neither the flavor nor the presentation justified the long wait (if that's what it was or just an oversight in the kitchen) or elevated expectations. What stood out more than the food was the lack of service and communication. Delays happen, especially at busy restaurants, but a quick check-in or update would have made a big difference. The restaurant also automatically adds a 12% service charge to the bill. While automatic gratuities are becoming more common, and in this case, I even added extra just to bring the tip up to 15%. With that expectation, there should also be a basic level of attentiveness and customer service. Overall, the food and service felt comparable to a typical Chinese comfort-food restaurant like Sam Woo, satisfying enough for a casual meal, but not particularly memorable considering the Michelin Guide recognition and pricing. Personally, the experience did not justify a return visit. I'd rather go to places like Lunasia or Kim Tar Seafood, where the overall experience feels more polished and consistent with the price point.
