    Penang fired kuey teow
    Samuel F.

    Nestled in Crystal mall's food court on the second level, you'll find a Malaysian food gem. I ordered the penang fried kueh teow and the home town fried chicken wings, and I was happy with what I ordered! The noodles had a smoky wok flavour, not too salty, and was cooked well. I also liked how the noodles were on the drier side but packed with flavour. Highlights included the clam and shrimps. The fried chicken wings were also tasty. They were made to order and had a beautiful crust on it. The seasoning wasn't too salty and the meat was juicy and tender. I will definitely return to try their curries and Hainan chicken.

    Hainanese chicken

    Got the full Hainanese chicken for takeout here for around $35. Would definitely recommend it. It's really flavorful and juicy but not overly salty and the chicken is deboned and not too fatty. Also comes with three delicious sauces (sweet & sour, soy, ginger) Note: This restaurant is a food court stall located in The Crystal Mall (near the back).

    Always delicious and never disappoints. The new version of Nasi Lemak has blue rice! Penang Fried kueh teauw hits the spot every time. Located inside Crystal Mall food court so seating can be tricky during rush hour.

    Amazing find in burnaby crystal mall! I wanted to try something different so i thought why not Malaysian Cuisine. For food court standards, there are above average in quality and quantity. Went with the Laksa Noodle soup and chicken chop Combo. The Laksa flavours are there. Soup was smooth and silky. As a personal preference, they could give it a more intense flavour...but as it is, its still good. Nice, invigorating soup on a rainy day. Definitely cleared the sinuses and warmed the soul. The tofu puffs were also nicely cooked. They were able to absorb the laksa curry flavours but still maintained a nice crunch to the skin. The chicken chop was awesome. Nicely deep fried with an extra crispy skin and juicy and moist meat. Boneless and nicely arranged. Can't ask for anymore. Simply delicious. The legendary chinese 5 spices very aromatic. Each and every bite size piece was coated and cooked to perfection. They also give you a buzzer while you wait. I waited probably 5 mins, then order came. What a meal. So simple yet, sophisticated in flavours Also very affordable and open till 7pm nightly...the staff very attentive and accommodating. Service is amazing. Cheers! Happy eating!

    Good food here, and no line here on a busy Christmas Even lunch in 2022. It was a 10 minute wait for one dish. They have buzzers, and our food came out faster than estimated. * Roti Prata w/ Curry Chicken ($12.95) - 4 stars I enjoyed this! The roti was buttery and flaky. Curry was good, low/medium spicy. Chicken had some bones/fat in it, FYI, I didn't mind but some of my friends wished for just regular chicken meat.

    Chicken Rice & Bak Ku Teh
    Zach T.

    The chicken is flavorful and soft. It is also boneless and comes with a decent portion. The chicken is served cold. The rice for the chicken rice is a little bland and would taste better with the soy sauce on it. The soup for the chicken rice is a little sour. The chicken rice also comes with pickles instead of cucumbers which is weird. Overall, the chicken rice is still delicious. As for the bak ku teh, it comes with a bowl of rice and a bowl of herbal broth with pork. Since I did not have that, I would not comment on it. The store is located in Crystal Mall food court with lots of other stalls as well. Generally, the food court seems clean. The store also accepts credit cards among various other payment methods.

    Fried kuay teow
    Kate C.

    Was looking for cheaper Malay/Singaporean cuisine since a Nasi Lemak for some reason costs over $16 for very simple ingredients. I'm not sure if this Crystal Mall food court Ipoh is related to the restaurant called Ipoh in Marpole. I did expect quality to be a little worse since it is cheaper and is in a food court. We ordered Nasi Lemak and Fried Kuay Teow. Nasi Lemak - rice definitely isn't very coconut-y. The sambal was tasty but lacking spiciness. The chicken wing was fried really nice and light - very juicy. The best Nasi Lemak I've had is from Shiok. Fried Kuay Teow - this is the first time I've had Malaysian kuay teow since I don't really like the singporean version. I really like this style and it resembles Hong Kong style fried flat rice noodles. It had prawns, clams (although very flavorless clams), eggs, chinese sausage, chives and bean sprouts. It was ok but missing the wok hei (high stiry fry heat). It satisfies my cravings but something is missing from each dish. For the pricing, that is what you get.

    Itried their "Roti Prata with Curry Chicken" special meal ($13.75). What they served was some kind of roti, but it certainly wasn't Malaysian style roti. Sometimes it's called roti canai, or in Singaporean cuisine it's called roti paratha. In fact, the roti looked suspiciously like Indian style roti you can get raw in the frozen food section of Superstore. You can sit pretty much anywhere in Crystal Mall while waiting for your order because they give you a beeper that sounds an alarm when your order is ready.

    Not sure if I got the wrong dish from IPOH, but I was quite disappointed with the main I ordered. I got the curry beef brisket with rice as well as an order of Malay style chicken wings. The curry brisket was quite cheap, priced at $12.25. Unfortunately the quality also reflected it. First off, every piece of beef was cold in the centre, which made me suspect they have a pot of beef in the fridge and just toss a few chunks in the curry when an order comes in. Sadly they didn't warm it up enough. Secondly, the curry sauce was just lukewarm and quite bland. I don't taste any of the spices, which is quite disappointing since they boosted to be authentic Malaysian food. On top of the curry beef, there were also carrots and potato chunks. The chicken wings in comparison was much better. It was deep fried properly with a crispy skin. The chicken wings were also seasoned perfectly, it was juicy with every bite. Definitely will order it again. Unlike some of the food court stalls, Ipoh gives you a buzzer to alert you when your food is ready, so you don't have to stand and wait for your order. It took around 15 minutes for us to get our order.

    I've been here for twice already and the food was impressive in my opinion. Their Chicken and Laksa Combo ($9.50) was big and filling. Laksa didn't have much toppings, however noodles and soup were tasty. Chicken was rather lukewarm; however the portion and taste were great. I think the whole combo would be TOO big for one person. I didn't have to go all the way to Hawkers Delight for Laksa ,and Ipoh is definetely closer distance from my home. I also tried Malaysian wings($5.99) earlier for dinner. Chicken wings were fresh and crispy. My only gripe was staff gave me few napkins after ordering wings. I mean you get all messy and greasy after eating and why giving so less? Anyways I totally recommend Ipoh for some Laksa and the rest of the food. Char Kway Teow looked quite yummy and I want to try it next time.

    Fried kway teow
    Jon C.

    Put some respect on Ipoh's name. It's a holy establishment in the most dilapidated mall... to all those who gave this place 3 stars or less FOH. You come here for one reason and one reason only, to wait 15+ min for the fried kway teow with the creamy-egg gravy. If you ever enjoyed Chinese peaches and cream corn soup then you will enjoy this overly starchy sauced fried noodle. The added pickled jalapeños just takes it over the edge. All the weird texture matched with the wok flame flavour.... makes sense just like when Jay Z did that weird mashup with Linkin Park. Side note, there's always this older Asian couple with 3+ heavy bags of grocery and like 5 take out boxes occupying the handicap table. Say hi to them when you see them. They a hoot.

    Chicken Laksa
    Jurn L.

    This update is really just to add my collection of pictures from Ipoh Bean Sprout Chicken in Crystal Mall. Now I haven't been to Crystal Mall since pre-covid so I'm not 100% which stalls are still opened.. but I'm hoping this one still is, as it is one of my favourites. As you can see from my pictures, I've had their Chicken Laksa numerous times (each picture is a separate visit). I love noodle lifting their laksa as they give a generous amount of noodles, and a mix of the yellow noodle and vermicelli noodle. I know a lot of different laksa spots that don't have that combination, and only one kind of noodle. I absolutely love the broth. And as mentioned in my previous review, it's the perfect amount of flavour and spiciness. And there is a good portion of quality chicken. May be awhile before I go back to Crystal Mall, but certainly give them a try if you're there!

    This food court stall is amazing. I have never seen so much variety and flavour in a food court. I come almost every other week to try something new. It's like I'm in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore again.

It was not the best, but tasted alright though. My parents would've liked the soup to be a bit spicy. Sliced pork with garlic was good. Deluxe Fried Rice was fresh and tasty.

The food is typical mid end banquet style, but the flavours are good, and the value is there. Lettuce wrap - standard restaurant fare. Decent quality. Fried green bean - nice and spicy, thanks to the house chili sauce. They can tune the spiciness on this one. Default is on the spicier side. Tasty. Shanghai fried noodles - standard restaurant fare. Hot & sour soup - better than the competition. Not sure what's special about it, but it stood out. Chongqing deluxe fried rice - one of their signature dishes. Great mix of flavour. Crispy rice with shrimp soup - honestly this would be the one dish that wasn't that great. Rice blocks were crispy, but the shrimp soup was nothing special. I'd skip this dish. Other than the crispy rice, everything is pretty standard compared to similar places out there. Expectations were met. Very good value. I'd gladly eat here again. Recommended.

They're a Northern Chinese spot that specializes in Guangxi cuisine and located right next to Onezo Tapioca. Even though it closes at 9:00pm, there were still people after us that came in for late night eats. We didn't have any issues with service; they came by to fill our tea several times. Just wish they gave bigger cups. Food comes out in a hurry. The menu is short and sweet: noodles, rice meals, appetizers, wontons and drinks. Trip #1 First visit was on a late Wednesday evening (around 8:30pm). - Mama's unique special milk tea ($4.80) - we added grass jelly ($0.50) which was unfortunately from a can. The milk tea was different than the norm as there was sweet fermented rice bits mixed in. Decent but don't think we'd get it again. - Sour and spicy crystal noodle ($6.98) - glass noodles with minced pork, bean sprouts, cilantro and peanuts. We got our dish medium spicy which was mild. Broth was excellently balanced; loved the sour notes. Glass noodles had a satisfying bite and cilantro added freshness to the bowl. - House special escargot rice noodles in spicy noodles ($13.98) - escargot, pig ear, beef, tofu, marinated egg, shrimp and pork intestine. There was also pickled green beans, bamboo shoots, tofu skins, wood ear mushrooms and peanuts. Really different with a good variety of textures and flavour. Loved all the types of meat, especially the tender beef, pork intestine and pig ear. Escargot was tasty but we wanted more. The tofu skin and wood ear mushrooms underneath were excellent. - Fresh meat wonton ($5.98) - this comes in a light broth with 15 homemade wontons, pickled seaweed and baby dried shrimp. Broth is basic but the wontons are great. Trip #2 Second trip was on a Friday evening (around 8:00pm). - Braised beef, pig ear and tofu ($10.98) - the beef is the same as what you get in their noodle bowls. Pig ear wasn't crunchy but the sauce (some sort of Chinese mushroom) was good. Tofu was fairly standard. For the price, it's a small dish; I didn't think it was worth it. - Shredded chicken, vegetable and cold noodle with house sauce ($9.53) - they asked us how spicy we wanted it; we went with spicy. Again, it's not so don't worry. The noodles were thin and the sauce was almost like a dan dan mein. We liked how it wasn't overwhelmingly peanuty. - Beef and escargot rice noodle in spicy soup ($9.98) - the beef is super tender. Again, the escargots are hard to find but everything else in this bowl is delicious. Tofu skin, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, peanuts and pickled green beans. Satisfying and spiciness finally came through. An interesting twist to the usual Northern Chinese spots typically found in town. Cash or debit only.
