    Inside

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    Kat Z.

    We came here on a Thursday and were seated immediately. The servers were all super attentive and friendly! This was my first time eating Malaysian food and it was yummy. My favorite two things that we ordered were the roti and the chicken/potato curry. FYI the chicken is drumsticks!

    If you're looking for a cheap restaurant with really big portions (even enough to feed two people…read moreat a time), look no further than Big Potato Restaurant in Milpitas. I remember this place used to be Chef Chengdu, but recently closed down and rebranded to become Super Potato. Here's my take and my experience on this place, as a first timer thus far: - The food was honestly out of this world, and when I say the portions are BIG - they were actually enough to cover the container (and even more). That's how much they have. I got the beef tripe with Chinese broccoli and rice, and while I had wished they included more Chinese broccoli, the sauce of the beef tripe was SO pungent and aromatic that I was able to sauce up my rice and enhance the flavor of my plain white rice. - The hospitality of this place was quite well - the waitresses are very attentive to each detail. Our requests were met conveniently without any hesitation. Ambience was also pretty well maintained. I'm definitely gonna come back and have more!! A budget friendly place forsure :)

Coming in with a party of 2 around 7 pm on a a Saturday evening, there was no wait as there were plenty of tables available. The menu is accessed via QR code, and you place your order through the phone. Food came out reasonably quickly and hot. My husband got the pork belly rice plate, which was very large and filling. If you eat smaller meals then two might be able to share. I tried it as well and thought our cuts were mostly fat, but they were flavored well. I ordered the Shezuan (mala) potato noodle soup. 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.

The concept might be simple but the possibilities are endless! I went absolutely overboard with my proteins (both beef and lamb), enoki mushroom, napa cabbage, tripe, baby corn, fish balls filled with roe and tofu skin. I saw that they had tofu mochi too and it was one of the best new things I decided to give a try. The bone broth was rich, flavorful and had that perfect mala kick with the numbing spice. I got mild flavor so it was not the kind of spicy that I could not tolerate. Each topping also soaked up all the flavorful broth. My friend got the medium spicy bone broth and that was packed a punch! I love how all the ingredients are fresh and fully restocked. The staff is very efficient. And they also give out vouchers, and free oranges.

On the positive side, they do offer a large variety of ingredients to choose from. When my bowl was served, I realized it wasn't the one I had ordered. They had accidentally switched my bowl with another customer's. Later, while eating, I came across some of the marinated cilantro beef, which looked raw. I asked the server if it could be cooked a bit longer, but she explained that it was supposed to be pink. I tried a small piece, but the texture was still very tender, which made me uncomfortable. It also didn't have the texture of what I expected from beef. My cousin also had an issue with her bowl. The lotus root slices were cut fairly thick, so after cooking, it was still undercooked and crunchy. Overall, it was a disappointing experience due to the cleanliness concerns, the order mix-up, and the food quality. There are plenty of ingredient options, but I don't see myself returning.

The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating. But it looked just like the menu picture so maybe the description is wrong. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce came with 6 pieces. Very juicy.

It was very authentic and refreshing. Chicken noodle soup was amazing! I don't know about the 8 hour boiled chicken since it tasted like chicken breast broth and not bone broth but it was super delicious. The noodles were slimy and it was very comforting. No chili oil was provided on the table. The server spilled some broth on our table while carrying a hot bowl of soup. I recommend asking the servers to use a serving plate to bring over food to the customer's table. Spicy chicken with honey and potatoes- We've tried this dish at many different restaurants, mostly without potato chips and we didn't like it here. Some pieces of chicken were bland and others absorbed most flavors. The honey did not help the dish at all. There was no balance of flavors. I did not like the addition of packaged wavy potato chips into the dish. Dai style seafood- This dish was very disappointing. It was served cold which was the highlight of the dish but nothing tasted fresh. This dish took the most time to come out. The dressing tasted well made, it was sweet and savory but the seafood hadn't absorbed the dressing. There were mussels, clams, squid and calamari in it and the balance of flavors was out of proportion. Laksa shrimp fried rice- Good wok hey, chewy mushroom bits and little pineapple bits but shrimp was very hard to find. The addition of egg was nice. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce- Nicely fried very tiny pieces of chicken with 1 tsp of tangy sauce. Good dish. Nothing extraordinary. I would come back for the chicken noodle soup on a cold night!

The braised noodles soup feels a bit like Pan Mee from South East Asia except the soup from the steak (more like beef ribs) is super tasty deep beef broth (no hint of msg which is good). The big beef plate reminds me a bit of the Peruvian stir fry with the sliced and fried potatoes. What a great find and a great opportunity to try out Henan food.

    Milpitas is the spot for Noodles…read more.. In the last couple of years there are a decent amount of Chinese Noodle spots that have opened. Each one of them are slightly unique, and they're all really good! If the high ratings weren't a accurate indicator, then the packed venues are definitely a conformation. Henan Noodle isn't the biggest venue, it's actually on the smaller side; small mom & pop operation. The place is charming, clean and inviting with a minimalist decor. The restaurant is located in a small plaza off N Milpitas Blvd. I forsee challenging parking during peak times; the lot is not that big either. The service was fine. Everything necessary was already laid out on the table, well organized and ready to dine in; bowls, chopsticks, cups, napkins, soup spoons and cold water. Scan the QR code on the table and place your order. Food came out in a timely manner. I'm not sure if lady running the place (at the time of our visit) speaks English; she gave us instructions in Chinese, I'm guessing Mandarin.

Well balanced, not too salty, gamey or creamy. Just perfect! The pieces of fish were so tender, good amount of noodle and that pickled cabbage...just brilliant! We didn't feel the need to add anything. ~ Lamb Stew Noodle 羊肉烩面 - 4.5/5 Another banger! The broth on this one was a bit bland, while it tasted clean and healthy we thought it was lacking a bit of flavor. We added a bit of Chili oil and walah!!! Perfection... lol. At least to out pallets. Everything else was perfect. The dishes are very filling, even though they don't look that intimidating at first. I can't wait to try some of the other dishes. I'll be back!
