    Sarang Seafood $27.50
    Ai S.

    Came here for the first time on a Friday for lunch and was seated right away with no wait! It was our first time here, so we asked the staff for their recommendations and ordered the following: ~food~ - Roti Canai $7.50: I loved the one! The Roti was crisp, but still had a nice chew to it and was not too oily! Portion size was ok, I think just enough for 2 ppl to share as an appetizer! - Sarang Seafood $27.50: Interesting dish for sure! It was fried taro paste in a bowl form with a seafood stir fry inside! In my opinion, I think it was just ok! A little overpriced for the amount of actual seafood in the dish (there were about 4 pieces of shrimp, small pieces of scallops and squid). I think the dish could've used a bit more flavor and maybe better quality seafood? Overall ok! ~overall~ Service was great, very quick and the staff were very friendly! Lot of seating indoors, so would a good spot for larger groups too! Plenty of parking in the plaza as well! Overall, pretty good, I may come back to try some of their other dishes since their menu seems quite big!

    3.5 *** rounded up to 4 **** The restaurant is much bigger than it looks like from the outside. Parking was not an issue with plenty of spaces available in the plaza. The ambiance inside was dim and I found the decor to be a bit strange; I felt like I was dining at someone's grandmas house. Service was good, the staff were eager to take our order and were helpful and polite. They also checked on us regularly without being intrusive. #MalasyanEats: ~ 10. Spicy Crispy Calamari Strips - 3.5/5 Your standard Fried Calamari. I thought the Calamari could be fired a bit longer for a better crisp. ~ 115. Mee Goreng Fried Noodle - 4/5 We opted to try something different. Indian style stir fried noodles with shrimp, tomato, bean sprouts, egg, vegetables and ground peanuts in some sort of sauce. Tasty without being overly spicy. DESSERT: ~ 170. Ice Kacang - 4/5 Ummm...this thing was much bigger than we anticipated. Not as fine as Snow or Hawaiian Shaved Ice, but very tasty. Shaved ice with red bean, sweet corn, plum seeds, jelly served with red rose syrup, and condensed milk. Not too sweet either. I did find it strange that they started putting up chairs on the tables cleaning up around 7:45 on a Sunday evening when they close at 8:30. Almost like they were giving customers a hint to leave... that was weird! I'd come back and try other items on the menu.

    Came here with a friend for a quick bite. The food was really good! Service was normal speed. Space was clean. Wasnt too crowded on a wednesday Lunch. Nasi Lemak beef 7/10 Kari Mee 10/10 really good flavor for curry soup Roti Cannai 8/10 Tastes good when hot

    112. Chow Kueh Teow Fried Noodle
    Emily C.

    Was in search of malaysian food and came upon this place. Very packed when we went around 1pm on a sunday. Sadly they did not have the chicken and rice dish which is what we came here for. The roti was a bit too thin and flaky for my liking and wish there was a thicker curry sauce. Nasi Lemak lacked in flavor and was just mild in all tastes. Chow kueh tow was almost like pad thai and was salty.

    Pleasant surprises around every corner at Layang Layang! Walking in the first time you won't know what to think but don't worry, never had a bad dish here. The ambiance isn't anything spectacular but the service is always quick and friendly. I don't know where the recipes come from but they feel passed down through generations. Every item is a story in taste. Love Layang Layang

    my in laws introduced me to this Malaysian spot, and wow their food is amazing. As someone who loves eating chinese, thai and indian food. Im shocked that I never tried Malaysian. They basically offer similar features and ways of other cuisines, so when trying their food, it felt very comforting and delicious. My favorite right now is their coffee ribs, and their migoren noodles, but all of their dishes are amazing!

    After we landed in San jose, we tried this Malaysian restaurant because we were in the mood for hainamese chicken rice. Parking: plenty free shared retail parking Reservation: just walk in. Big space for small and big group. Restrooms: singles women and men restroom. Once we were seated, we ordered: Nasi lemak Char thaw we Roti canai Kangkung blachan Overall food is ok. Roti Canada is too crispy and thin, the curry sauce just plain sauce no potato. The coconut rice on nasi lemak could be use more coconut milk. Beef is great, juicy and tender. Chaw thaw we could use more eggs and better yet, flat wide noddle instead thin thai style noddle. Service is fast and nice.

    Char Kway Teow (炒粿條). Stir fried noodle dish
    Mercy H.

    Came here on a busy Friday night around 7pm, and Layang-Layang was hopping! Despite the crowd, the service was impressively attentive and efficient. We were really pleased with how quickly our food arrived--all dishes were on our table in under 15 minutes! Our water glasses were also consistently refilled, which is always a plus. Since we weren't super hungry, we shared the Char Kway Teow and the Kangkung Belacan. The Char Kway Teow was delicious, with a good depth of flavor and sizable shrimp. The Kangkung Belacan was also satisfying; the kangkung leaves were tender, and the belacan (shrimp paste) was well-balanced and not overpowering.

    7. Satay Tofu
    Sonu N.

    Love this place with a tropical vibe, excellent attentive service, and fantastic Malaysian food!! I always have a hard time ordering because the menu is so long and has so many good options, with vegetarian options are plenty and while marked. We started with tofu satay-- crispy tofu, stuffed with cabbage and smothered in a amazing peanut sauce-- yummm!!! I ordered the sizzling princess tofu-- it arrived at the table, not sure if me or the dish was bubbling more with delight! The tofu in this dish is eggy and flavorful-- I know I can't recreate this at home so it is special. My husband enjoyed his noodles-- and we even enjoyed the leftovers a day later! Plenty of plaza parking. Good for groups. No outdoor seating. We did not have to wait at 8pm on a Saturday night.

    Malaysian food is hard to come by in the US so I was keen to try this restaurant. I ordered a Char Kwai Tiew and Roti. The Char Kwai Tiew was very good with a good "wok hei" though a little small for the price ($19.50). That said, eating out these days is expensive everywhere with inflation. The roti was good. They have an extensive menu and I'd like to come back and try their Princess tofu and which is made in house and some of their other dishes. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Sally L.

    this was a pretty underwhelming experience. ordered the hainan chicken but it was pretty flavorless. usually i like the rice to have more flavor. sauce options weren't that good. i have had much better hainan chicken. also my chicken was sooooo boney. every bite i had to rip my chicken apart and spit out the bone. pretty disappointing. typically you would want a more meaty chicken for this type of dish.

    This was the first time I dined at Layang Layang and had a wonderful experience. The staff were so incredibly nice and checked up on us frequently. The menu is a bit daunting but I loved everything we got. The seafood chow fung, fried fish, calamari, and roti. The fried items were perfectly crispy. I brought home the leftovers for my husband to try, and although soggy, he said the flavors were great. I'm super excited to come back and try other items!

    151. Princess Tofu (Vegeterian)
    Anu P.

    I've been here twice. I'd give 3.5 stars. Service here is really nice and food comes out fast but the dishes are either super hit or super miss. It's never crowded when I've gone and there's a lot of space to sit. I got the roti canai which was really good - not too oily and curry was spicy. I actually think this was so good it could bring my review up to a 4. Must try. I also got the princess tofu (veg). This is house made egg tofu and I love egg tofu and the crispiness was done really well but I didn't like the sauce that it came with at all. I ended up just eating the tofu and not the curry/sauce. Also even at spicy the flavor was kinda off and not spicy. I've also tried the pad thai - this was fine it tasted good 4/5. I got the malaysian iced tea - it's mainly sweetened black tea with milk.. it was strong but overall just tasted like black tea, I would skip. I do like how extensive the menu is. so I would consider coming back here to try other things but unsure if I would go out of my way

Turns out potato noodles are really soft with basically no bite or chew, so they weren't as fun to eat as expected. Flavor and portion size were still good. The mala / numbing spice is particularly strong here, so if you like it, you'll have a good time. While everything was satisfactory and tasted good, I don't think I'd seek this place out as it wasn't as memorable. Decent if you're already in the area though.

Other than that, the rice noodles are thin and silky and hold the sauce nicely. The sauce is also delicious. We also ordered the fish congee which was simple but comforting.
