Layang Layang is my favorite spot for Singaporean/Malaysian food. I used to be a frequenter at their Cupertino location. Same delicious food at the Milpitas location. I prayed for years that they'd reopen in Cupertino again. The Bay Area needs more Singaporean/Malaysia food!! Some of the must try dishes here are: * Mee goreng: spicy street noodles * Kari Mee: noodles in a spicy coconut curry broth with chunks of chicken and potato * Chicken Satay: Grilled chicken skewers served with a peanut sauce * Roti Canai: crispy flatbread served with a curry sauce * Mee Siam: Stir fried rice noodles * Nasi Goreng: Malaysian fried rice * Ice Kachang: Shaved ice topped with rose syrup, and condensed milk. Under the glorious ice, you'll find red bean, grass jelly, corn, peanuts & agar agar making for an unexpectedly delicious dessert (This was my favorite dessert growing up) read more

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! read more

Malaysian food always hits the spot, and this place does it right. A large location (looks bigger on the inside than the outside), this is a good place for large group gatherings and smaller catchups alike. We came here as a group of four on a Saturday afternoon before a movie screening and every dish was pretty good, the standout being the bird's nest (nest is edible), fried tofu, and noodles. Next time I want to check out some of the desserts as well, but unfortunately we were too full to even fathom another bite. A good problem to have! Service is friendly and parking is abundant. This is located in a very popular strip mall with a ton of options, but I would recommend coming here for a taste of authentic Malaysian cuisine. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Food was yum! The noodles were seasoned well and the tom yum chicken was flavorful. However the tom yum taste does get a bit overwhelming after eating a lot, so I think it's definitely meant to be more of a sharing dish. The pearl mee was well made but the noodles caught me off guard! Next time I would probably order the chow kuey teow instead because Im a big fan of rice noodles Service was really good! They were super attentive and really nice. I was surprised by how attentive they were and their quickness with everything. Besides the delicious food, I would come back to eat just because the service is great. Store ambiance is like a casual restaurant. Very homey and feels like a mom and pop shop. Clean and spacious! read more

We went to lunch with a group of friends, so it was nice to order some familiar dishes, as well as, new dishes. One friend had been here many times, so he recommended a couple of his favorites like, which was new to me. The new dishes were... Mee Goreng Fried Noodle: Indian style stir fried yellow noodle in special mild sauce with shrimp, tomato, bean sprouts, egg, vegetables and ground peanuts (4/5). Flavorful because of the curry and soy sauce. Sizzling Beef: Stir-fried sliced beef with green pepper, onion in black pepper sauce served on sizzling plate (4/5). The beef was tender and the black pepper sauce was done well. It goes well on steamed rice. String Beans, Eggplant, and Okra in garlic sauce (4/5). This combination of vegetables was delicious and simple yet tasty. Not too oily. Malaysian Fried Rice: Malaysian style fried rice with shrimp, chicken, egg, basil, and vegetables (4/5). Full of flavor with a nice smoky taste. We ordered a couple of our favorites like... 2 orders of Roti Canai: Homemade Indian style pancake with curry dipping sauce (4/5). Sarang Seafood: Fried taro nest topped with shrimp, squid, scallop, corn, snow peas, black mushroom, and cashew nuts (4/5). Good as usual. This is one of their signature dishes. Malaysian Ice Coffee (4/5). Subtle, and creamy. The service was very good. They, all were friendly and attentive! A good sized restaurant but only two restrooms for the entire place. Plenty of parking available as they are located in a fairly large plaza. read more

I've never had Malaysian food before, so I was excited to finally take a visit. Service and ambiance were good, they were polite and checked in on us. They gave us recommends such as the seafood sarang and coffee ribs. The roti canai with the curry sauce was delishhhh. I loved it! Deep curry and coconut flavor. The laksa was also pretty good, warm and hearty. The coffee spare ribs were okay, I didn't enjoy the flavor and there were bone shards throughout. The seafood sarang was visually very appealing. The flavors were good. The down sides were that it was warm, maybe even lukewarm. If the taro base was freshly fried and the seafood sauce was more abundant, I could've given it a 5/5. But it was very luke warm and a bit stale. The food all came out relatively fast, so that could've been a sign that most of it was precooked. I would go back if the food was heated properly. read more

I was trying to go to super potato next door but it was closed for the holidays! So we decided to try out Layang Layang next door- which was a great decision! The food was flavorful and the service was great! My water glass was never empty! It felt like a family owned place that had some regulars which is a great sign! Once we ordered the food came out pretty fast. I tried the Malaysian ice tea- kind of tasted like a milk tea and not too sweet which I liked. Our roti came out first which was super light and airy and crunchy. Dipping it in the curry sauce was so good! I wish we ordered more but we had three more dishes coming haha. Then the prawn mee noodles came out- loved the broth it had a nice kick (spicy) and tasted delicious! Next came the chow kueh teow kind of like a skinny chow fun noodle fried in a wok with plenty of bean sprouts for texture. Our final dish was the sizzling lamb the meat was very tender and had lots of black pepper flavor! Every dish we had was great! I would definitely recommend! read more

One that slipped through the cracks when we stopped here in October. It was so good I wanted to weigh in and rave about the place. At least the quality of the food. Once again our good friends Aroon met up with us to add some class to the table. He also helps us order correctly and explains the cuisine. A good friend to have! Parking is a snap. Plenty of that. But it sure gets busy in the restaurant. As a result, the service suffers a little bit. It can get quite loud, too. Everyone is professional, some friendlier than others. There's no denying how delicious the food is, especially the Sarang seafood. The Hainan Chicken must be very popular; there's a limit on how many orders you can get and they ended up running out of it. The restaurant itself was a pretty laid back, non pretentious diner. Again, loud with a huge crowd. I recommend increasing staff and better communication. read more

Roti 5/5 - this was my favorite thing here. Taste is very consistent compared to other places. The curry sauce is very good and flavorful. It's more on the thin side but taste is good. But the only con is how expensive it is! $10 for a small piece of roti Chicken satay 5/5 - this was also very good. Chicken wasn't dry. Sauce that it comes with gives it a nice flavor. Bird nest looking dish 3/5 - this wasn't that good. I was curious about this dish because the reviews say this is good but I thought it was alright. Nothing special about it. read more

My BFF and I went here and shared Roti, Kang Kung, and chow kuay teow noodles. The roti was ok, I wish the curry was warmer (it was cold). The Kang Kung was good, but you have to like shrimp paste.

Layang Layang is delicious Malaysian food, which tastes like a flavorful mix of Thai, Indian, and Southern Chinese cuisine. Fish sauce is a key ingredient in many of their dishes in the best way! One of my favorites is the Princess Tofu. It's perfectly crispy on the outside and soft like egg pudding on the inside so comforting and satisfying. The sizzling beef is also excellent, and their roti is always a hit. One dish I always love is the spinach like vegetable they cook it so well! I can never remember the name, but it's tender, garlicky, and full of flavor. Definitely a must order! The Milpitas location is more spacious than the Cupertino one, which makes for a more relaxed dining experience. Overall, both their food and service are consistently great. A reliable go to spot for Malaysian flavors. read more

This is very unfortunate to report, I do not like leaving bad reviews. I tend to be very forgiving and understanding, not stress about minor oversights at restaurants . However,I've never had food so terribly mediocre at any restaurant EVER. I feel I'm doing a PSA by posting this - eating out is way too expensive these days to waste your money on bland food. Yes, it was that bad. We had three dishes - Chicken Captain Kee - absolutely NO flavor. None. The noodles tasted like whatever package they were in. I've never experienced a dish with no flavor before. - Basil Chicken - underwhelming. The baby corn had the most flavor. That says a lot. - Chicken Satay - just ok. Chicken a bit dry, flavor mellow, sauce a weird consistency. Oh we did have roti and that was really excellent. Sadly, it set us up to believe the rest coming would be just as amazing. This was so disappointing because I finally got my teen to try a new place - this is not an easy task! This experience only strengthened his stance on sticking with what he already knows and likes Really wanted to like this place. The service was good and folks were nice. Restaurant is nice and roomy. read more

Had a very good time at Layang Layang. Firstly, the service was awesome. The staff was friendly and the food came very promptly. It was hot and fresh. Now, this was our first time there and also with Malaysian food. We ordered a sarang Mango chicken, which turned out to be our favorite. We also had the Assam Noodle Soup. The waiter advised us to try another one like it which tasted less fishy but we didn't listen to him. We should have because this one was a little strong for us. Last one which turned out to be our least favorite was Number 91. It seemed that the vegetable was still uncooked or not very fresh to begin with. It was too chewy for our liking. Both the drinks were awesome. We will return to try more dishes. read more

Layang Layang used to be super popular with multiple branches but now the Milpitas one is the only one left. Compared to many other Malaysian/Singaporean restaurants here in the Bay Area this is definitely one of the upper echelon. The Hainan chicken is really good but it's super super annoying that they constantly run out so if you want to eat it you may have to call ahead to make sure they reserve it for you. The Roti Canai is also tasty and freshly made. I like that you get a completely different flavor as you devour it because it goes from chewy to crispy as it cools. Coffee ribs is not as good as another place I've had but decent. The seafood in a nest is so so. Sizzling beef is tender. What I think they should improve on is Singaporean chili prawns which is too sweet and not as good as I've had in Singapore. I wish they have chili crab or black pepper crab but I guess the lack of the Sri Lanka Crab may be why. They made Chow kway Teow non spicy which took away the soul of the dish. I wish they didn't. I do like the pearl mee (mouse tail noodle too) Once again I wish they would offer more Hainan chicken especially letting you choose leg or wing portion. They Chicken Rice needs improvement as it's not aromatic or flavorful. Service is good as they have more waiters than most Asian places so you can get someone to help you with things but the place itself is just a space with some Southeastern decoration. The following is from my review before: I used to come here often before the pandemic and also when it used to also have another location in Cupertino so I'm glad I get to try it again. The food is still good and if you miss Malaysian/Singaporean food this is probably the most authentic and down to earth restaurant to have it. I love the thin roti, the hainan chicken, and chow kueh teow (pan fried noodle). In fact almost all the fried noodles are good especially the mouse tail noodles . read more

Overall, a decent spot to grab Malaysian food. There is a HUGE menu, so there's definitely something for anyone. Lots of seating inside and it's a cozy family restaurant. I got the Chow Kueh Teow, which tastes quite similar to a Chinese chow fun. But once I added the chili sauce given, it had a lot more flavor! A little spicy... Noodles were great. The squid was cooked perfectly. The shrimp could have been a little better... they were slightly cold(?), but I would order this again! Not bad. read more

I've never had a bad dish here and I've been coming here for almost 20 years. The prices have steadily climbed and I'll be the first to admit that it's not cheap to run a restaurant in Milpitas, but the flavors are solid. That distinct wok fried flavor and complex combination of sweet, sour and spicy Malaysian taste runs through the dishes through and through. Roti never disappointed, always love getting the Mee Goreng, Eggplant, and Kangkung Belacan. If you want something truly delicious, treat yourself to a fried fish! The fins are delicious crispy treat! I recommend coming for an early lunch or a late lunch, since some things are prepped earlier in the day, everything tastes better. But it's even better if you can avoid the lunch rush! read more

Love Layang Layang. Their food is always so tasty. Just have to be aware that it leans towards the spicy side so go for mild or not spicy if you are like me.

This is my goto spot for Malaysian food because they have so many dishes to choose from, service is quick, and the food just hits the spot. If you come here you have to order the roti because that's a classic dish! I also really like their noodle dishes. So far I've tried the Chow Kueh Teow Fried Noodle, which is kind of similar to a pad see ew, and the Mee Goreng Fried Noodle. Both were delicious! I'd say the Mee Goreng noodles are more firm and have a bouncier texture compared to the Chow Kueh Teow noodles which were torn into small pieces during the cooking process. We also ordered their beef rendeng which I really liked because the texture of the beef was so soft (kinda like shredded beef). For veggies, I would recommend their Kangkung (ong choi) which was flavorful and had a light crunch to it. The mango salad was very tangy due to the sauce and it also had a bit of a kick to it. I would probably skip the mango salad and nasi lemak. read more

I started to come here to eat with my vegetarian parents about 10 years ago. Our favorite dish is the Princess tofu dish. Although it comes with only 6 pieces of their amazing tofu, it was delicious and worth the price (~16.99) in 2015. But they have really increased their prices and now the dish is almost $25. We don't eat here anymore as there are so many more affordable options. Well today I was craving some Laksa noodle soup and I came here during their lunch hour which closes at 3p. I was on the other side of town and rushed to get there asap. I ended up arriving at 2:35p and they refused to seat me stating "we don't seat people after 2:30p". I totally understand they have their right to maintain their policies but it would have been nice to see something online or established stating so. There were so many employees ready to tell me NO, I felt so unwelcomed. So many employees there and all of them just standing there and staring at me . read more
