Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 3.5/5 It's a roomy restaurant with family style round tables and a few smaller ones. I think they opened 2 years ago but we never made it here... since we live closer to the other spot on 20th avenue. Glad we did lunch here! The Hainan Chicken is better here. Very juicy, silky and tender. The fried rice was quite good - "wok hay", salt & pepper squid was yummy, and the Ong-Choy was good (but smaller potion than other Malaysian spot). Also tried their grass jelly brown sugar soy milk drink - very good. Overall, would come back for another round!
I haven't had really good Hainanese chicken in Brooklyn since both Nyonyas in Brooklyn closed. This place satisfies my cravings when I can't make it to Manhattan. Everything was so delicious, I ordered again the week after. My favorites are their Hainanese Chicken Over Rice, Chicken Satay, and Roti Canai!
Went here again and it is definitely to go spot to have malayasian foods. The staff and service are great. I will definitely come back here again
Pretty good southeast Asian food for the area, specifically the Hainanese chicken with rice and trio vegetable belachan. They also sell amazing pandan mooncakes during mid autumn festival!
Side notes: Prices might be a tad off. There's a more accurate menu on Google/like most other Chinese spots, they're more active on Google also. I went to this Malaysian place a couple of weeks ago with a large group. I have had Malaysian food from many different restaurants, and this was excellent across the board with a couple of definite highlights. The place was crowded and the staff was friendly, though a bit overwhelmed, so it took a while for the food to come out. This was also likely the reason why they forgot about one of our dishes (the Hainanese Chicken,) which was unfortunate, but we were full enough anyway. First arriving was our only small plate/appetizer, which was the Kajang Beef Satay for $10.95, consisting of marinated beef on skewers, charcoal-grilled to perfection, and served with peanut sauce. The price was for five skewers, and these were standard. The meat was quite tender compared to most spots, though I would say I preferred the satay sauce itself from Curry House. The only main dish that I thought was just okay was the Coconut Butter Chicken for $16, consisting of fried chunks of chicken with coconut, butter, egg, chili & pandan leaves. I found there to be a bit too much batter for my liking. The sauce had a slightly sweet coconut flavor, though the chili and pandan were light. This was fine. Next arriving was one of the best dishes of the evening, which was the Beef Rendang for $20.95, listed as tender beef braised in a thick spicy curry sauce with coconut milk and lime leaf. The style here was in-between wet and dry, though more on the drier end, which is my preference, with the coconut milk from the curry having a good amount of heat but not too much. The beef was a particular highlight, being both tender and very well-flavored, making this one of the better versions I've had. I liked the dish enough that I ordered extra, from the over rice section, for $11.95 for the next day, which was a generous portion and similarly excellent. Another highlight, though more unexpected, was the Crispy Rice for $13.95, listed as Fried rice with shrimp, onion, scallion, and egg. The rice had a very nice wok hei, and there was a crispiness throughout most of it, reminding me to an extent of the rice in bo zai fan and other similar claypot dishes. Outside of the texture, it had a nice scallion oil flavor, and there was plenty of juicy shrimp. I would heavily recommend this as well. Quite tasty also was the Kangkung Belachan for $17.95. Kangkung refers to water spinach, with the latter word meaning a spicy fermented shrimp paste, and this was also good. There was plenty of water spinach, and the shrimp paste had a pleasant funk and heat, but not too much either. There was also the Trengganu Duck for $22.95 listed as baked boneless duck cooked in a rich thick yellow curry with coconut milk, tomato, coriander, basil leaf, eggplant, and pepper. This dish is also available with other proteins at various prices. This was tasty, though the description is a bit wrong as the duck, while tender and flavorful, did have some pieces of bone. The curry was nice, being strongly coconut flavored, with I would say the closest resemblance being a Penang Curry. There was plenty of vegetables, with there being particularly a large amount of eggplant. This was nice, though I would get this with a different meat instead, such as shrimp or something else, as I believe the curry is a standout, even if the duck was tender and flavorful. The last main dish was the Chow Zhou Tilapia Fish, listed in some photos at $33.95, though I believe ours was listed as MP and was a bit under $30. The dish had a similar presentation to the boiled fish with ginger and scallion you can find at Cantonese restaurants. The fish was very tender, with the main difference being that the sauce was a bit sweeter by comparison to that dish, which I'm pretty sure was from dark soy sauce or something similar. The last dish was dessert, which was the Ice Kacang for $7.25, listed as shaved ice with red bean, corn, palm seed, lotus jelly, red rose syrup, peanuts, and coconut milk. Also listed as ABC, among other similar names, this was an alright version. It was less sweet than expected as there was a lack of coconut milk, with my favorite part being the red bean and palm seeds as expected, with the ice having a light floral flavor from the rose. They also gave us some Red Bean Soup at the end which was appreciated. Outside of them missing the Hainanese chicken, we had a very pleasant time here. The majority of the dishes were excellent, and even the dishes that we didn't like as much were still good. For the general quality and a couple of particularly outstanding dishes, I would heavily recommend this place, and I can see why they're rated so high.
The staff is super friendly and there's a very nice vibe. The food is very authentic. I think most people that come here are familiar with this type of cuisine and know how to order. I had a little bit of difficulty. For the appetizer, I got shrimp, dumplings, and the.Lobak. The shrimp dumplings were just a shrimp wrapped in a wonton square folded into a triangle and fried. They were super crispy and yummy. I got pineapple fried rice, a shrimp, chicken and rice noodle soup. We also got a half of the Hainanese chicken. I didn't realize that it came cold and was not accompanied by any rice. I also got a mango sticky rice to go. We actually enjoyed everything.
We stopped at Makan House in Brooklyn while exploring as tourists, and the neighborhood itself is definitely eclectic. The food here was so good--especially the roti. I honestly can't express enough how amazing it was, and the chicken curry dipping sauce alongside it was absolute perfection. I ordered the beef Pad Thai, and my partner had the chow fun. The portions were enormous--just $14 for plates big enough to share. We also tried the wings, which came out crispy and delicious. Everything was spot-on, and our server was incredibly kind, even offering recommendations when she noticed us looking up dishes. But truly... I'm still dreaming about that roti and curry. Wouldn't hesitate to come back if we are even in the area!
There are several large round tables. The owner is friendly and works fast. The staffs might be a little overwhelmed with the owner's fast pace. The owner needed to remind staffs several times to get rices or drinks to the table. The food is a hit and missed. The roti tasted like store bought. The chicken and beef were ok. The sweet and sour fish is a winner. It's not printed on the menu but it was written on the wall as special.
Finally checked out this spot. I ordered Asam Laksa, Drunken noodles with chicken, tofu satay and Thai iced tea to go. The food was piping hot even when I got home!! Thai iced tea is perfectly sweet and refreshing. Tofu satay was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and the peanut sauce was delightful. Drunken noodles were good, though I would have liked it saucier and spicier. Laksa was nice, bright broth with sour notes, fresh pineapple and cucumber and chewy noodles. The shrimp were a little too pungent, perhaps not the freshest. Overall I liked this place and will definitely be back to try more dishes.
The only Malaysian restaurant along Avenue U. Fortunately the food is pretty good! Check it out if you happen to be in the neighborhood. I highly recommend the Hainanese Chicken. The meat is very smooth and tender. This is one of the best versions I've had. And I've tried quite a few places for this dish. This comes with a house made special soy sauce. My next recommendation is the Seafood in Taro Nest. The "nest" itself is done pretty well. The taro had a smooth, tasty and not greasy consistency. Shrimps are pretty big. Seating. Quite a few tables in here. A couple of tables for four. Also several larger round tables for bigger groups. Decor. Simple. Some Malaysian handmade rattan fans adorn the walls. One grassy wall is dedicated to fortune cats. Service. Excellent! Server was so nice! Came back several times to check on us, if we needed anything. Come on by and check out the food! It's worthy of a visit even if you live rather far.
I ordered the Nasi Lamak and it was really good. The roti canai was flaky and flavorful as well. The other dishes looked very light and appetizing. Relatively spacious and clean! The service was fast and efficient. Very accommodating Will recommend to friends and family :)
Decent casual spot with authentic cuisine. Food was good. They didn't serve alcohol so we brought wine, no issues. Friendly staff and good service.

4.5 stars out of 5 stars. Makan House is currently probably the best Asian restaurant in Homecrest along Avenue U; and one of the better Malaysian restaurants in Brooklyn. The food is generally executed well, and is less greasy than other Malaysian restaurants we've visited. The shrimp here are deveined, too. Dishes we've had include: - Roti Paratha 印度麵包: $5.50; $5.99 with tax. Good. The roti could be little fluffier, but I haven't seen such a version in Brooklyn. - Seafood in Taro Nest 佛本飄香: $21.95; $23.90 with tax. The taro bird's nest is one of the better versions -- moist, and not greasy. The dish included only three shrimps, though. - Walnut Shrimp 核桃蝦: $23.95; $26.08 with tax. Large 16/20 lb jumbo shrimp, leaning more towards 16 lb. We ordered this for take-out, but this dish should be eaten at the restaurant. The sauce was packed separately. This dish also wasn't as greasy as other places. - Chow Kueh Teow 炒粿條: $13.95; $15.19 with tax. - Half Hainanese Chicken 海南雞: $16.50; $17.96 with tax. We've had versions here where the chicken is silky soft and tender, but also where the chicken was a bit overcooked. - Indian Mee Goreng 印度炒麵: $14.95; $16.28 with tax. Good flavors and many ingredients including scrambled egg, potato, tofu, onion, shrimp, and chicken. The dish is heavy, perhaps over-sauced, but not too greasy. - Kajang Chicken Skewers 沙嗲雞肉串: $8.95; $9.74 with tax. Kajang Beef Skewers 沙爹牛串: $10.95; $11.92 with tax. Both the chicken and beef skewers were excellent. - Fish Head with Preserved Vegetables Noodle Soup 酸菜魚頭湯米粉: $14.95; $16.28 with tax. OK, there could have been more sour notes to the soup. - Pineapple Fried Rice 菠萝炒飯: $13.95; $15.19 with tax. OK, a bit bland. - Bak Kut Teh 肉骨茶: $16.95; $18.45 with tax. Literally, "meat bone tea." A good version; serve this by including some bone, in additional to the other ingredients with each serving, when ladling soup into the soup bowls. Service, Atmosphere, Other: Customer service is pretty good; I observed staff helping elderly customers take pictures of their visit, and holding the door open for them as they left. Music plays a little too loudly from speakers at the front of the restaurant; it may be more pleasant to sit towards the middle of the restaurant. There is one well-maintained unisex restroom. There is a 3% surcharge for credit cards. Suggested tips are based on post-tax subtotals and start at 18%. read more
Had the Hainanese Chicken, Singapore Mee fun, Nasi lemak, chicken satay Skewers, roti canal, Malay fried chicken wings with pork floss and salted duck egg. The food was very good and flavorful. Bathroom is clean and the place is modern, clean and chic. Service was fast and friendly. read more
FINALLY - a Malaysian restaurant back on Ave U! VERY thankful for this. They've now been around at least a year I think? Had their food soon after they opened, & was extremely underwhelming. So happy to say they have def found their footing, & everything was on point. They sort of market themselves as SE Asian fusion, but happily, they are really Malaysian. The Thai food we tried was not quite there, but the Malaysian food sure was. Laksa, kangkung, roti, curries, & rice dishes were all very good. We also really like New Belacan on 8th Ave in Sunset Park, & LOVE Malay Restaurant in Flushing, but they are not so close by - this is our new home spot. read more
4.5! Cute new spot in Sheepshead with delicioussss Malaysian food. The service was so kind and quick! Every dish we ordered was delicious. I would come back and try more of their noodle dishes and beef rendang. At the end, they serve classic Cantonese sweet red bean soup to end it off. Would definitely come back and support this small business! read more

Stumbled upon this place while searching on Yelp. Have ordered three times already from here and every time it never disappoints. The prawn mee noodles are always so delicious - noodles have a chew to them and taste fresh. I like how they separate the soup from the noodles so they don't come soggy. The chicken with rice is also always really good. read more

Amazing night to celebrate a friend's birthday. The interior is simple with table and chair. It's bright and clean inside. We were seated by a friendly auntie waitress. We started with a free roti canai for writing a review. Then we got ready for the menu. We couldn't resists and wanted to try everything! So we ordered whatever we pleased. Seafood with taro nest - one of the best! The taro nest is extremely flavored well. It wasn't just a bowl that holds onto seafood, it was so pleasant to enjoy. Chiang Mai clams - extremely delicious. The tasty green curry flavor was so enjoyable with white rice. Haianese Chicken - soft and tender. Cooked to perfection. Tastes so good with chicken rice. Curry Tilapia - the fried tilapia was crispy. The veggies, especially the tofu puffs absorbed all the curry flavor. The sauce is banging. So tasty with white rice. Beef Rendang - the type is beef is different. This place uses beef shank and I'm used to beef brisket. Lady finger with shrimp - I'm not usually a fan of okra because of the slime, but it wasn't bad. The flavor was tasty. Lastly, we got a complementary dessert, Apam Balik. It was tasty and just the right amount of sweetness. It's soft inside and crispy on the outside. I washed it down with a Thai ice tea and it was more on the sweeter side. Overall, the service is impeccable, and hospitality is above and beyond. The food is definitely worth coming again. read more

Service was fast and friendly. Place was big by New York standards and the food was spot on. We tried their Roti Canai, Acar, Lobak and Char Kuay Teow. The place was a bit loud but that's typical of Malaysian restaurants. It was a Sunday and so there were many kids too. In all a great new addition to the neighborhood. read more
My lil sis and I decided to come in for an early dinner. The service is still amazing, the atmosphere is bright & cheery, and the food is delicious. My favorite appetizer is the roti. My favorite entree is the lady finger with shrimp. We will be back for more! read more
Fairly new Malaysian restaurant that replaced the Chinese restaurant. Service is good and fast. Very casual restaurant. We ordered the curry roti, fried pork intestine, seafood in taro's nest, some soup noodle (forgot the name), and basil clams. Everything was delicious, especially the clams and pork intestines. I could've done without the seafood in taro nest dish though. The taro dish was pretty dry. I was pretty full before the soup noodle came. Overall, a good restaurant added to the neighborhood. read more

Food: Excellent flavors in both the Hainanese Chicken and Chow Kueh Teow. Chicken is very moist and well made. It comes with a bed of cucumbers and soy sauce on the bottom. Chow Kueh Teow has squid and shrimp. Portions are on the smaller side, but I would recommend this restaurant! Service: Staff is very attentive and friendly. Ambiance: Restaurant is modern and clean. Good for both large and small groups. read more

Makan House has found a new home on Brooklyn's Avenue U, and I couldn't be happier. Once a beloved Malaysian gem on Allen Street in Chinatown, this spot continues to deliver the same bold flavors, authentic dishes, and unbeatable prices--just now in a more low-key, no-frills setting. But don't let the humble décor fool you--the food speaks volumes. We kicked things off with the chicken and beef satay, perfectly grilled and paired with a rich, nutty peanut sauce that adds the perfect touch of sweetness and spice. The coconut calamari, while it could've used an extra round in the fryer for a crispier bite, still delivered a tender texture and subtle coconut aroma. My parents especially enjoyed it. The Achar, a vibrant medley of pickled vegetables, was tangy, crunchy, and refreshing--an ideal appetizer to whet the palate. The true star of the meal was the Hainanese Chicken. Tender, silky, and served with a delicate sweet soy, it practically melted in the mouth. Make sure you have it with their aromatic chicken/yellow rice. My father couldn't stop raving about the salted fish with pork belly casserole--rich, savory, and deeply flavorful. Be sure to pair it with rice to balance the intensity of flavors. If you want to experience a bold taste of Malaysia, don't skip the Kangkung Belacan. This water spinach stir-fried with pungent shrimp paste is earthy, briny, and full of that deep umami kick that hits just right. The lemongrass clams were aromatic and well-seasoned,not saucy, but still flavorful enough to enjoy with a side of rice. Of course, I had to revisit a classic: the Char Kuey Teow. I remembered loving it at their old location, and I'm happy to report it's just as smoky and delicious as I remembered--chewy noodles, wok hei magic, and all. My mother ordered the Asam Laksa for a nostalgic hit of sour, spicy, tamarind-forward goodness, and it absolutely delivered. If you're looking for a dish with eye-catching presentation, try the pineapple fried rice. Served in a hollowed-out pineapple, it's as fun to look at as it is to eat. Makan House is still one of the best places in NYC for authentic Malaysian comfort food. It's casual, it's cozy, and it hits all the right flavor notes. Highly recommend making the trip to Brooklyn if you're craving something bold, aromatic, and soul-satisfying. read more

Happy to have a new option in the area! Have ordered takeout a few times and dined in once. Food is decent, portions on the smaller side. There seemed to be a lot of staff in the restaurant but service dining in was a bit lacking; food came out quickly but no one really checked in afterward nor could we flag someone down easily. They also recently introduced a 3% surcharge for credit card usage. Enjoyed the appetizers roti paratha and kajang satay (although the second time we ordered take out the chicken was too dry). Have tried their noodle dishes including chow kueh teow, drunken noodles and Indian mee goreng. I personally prefer their noodle soup dishes: kueh teow soup is a comforting broth with flat noodles, seafood tomyum rice noodles and seafood asam laksa are both tart tangy options. Tried the classic nasi lemak and hainanese chicken rice dishes - both were ok, although have had better elsewhere. Other dishes like the salt and pepper calamari, curry tilapia, lady finger shrimp belachan were pretty flavorful. Also couldn't resist trying the coconut pudding dessert which is pricy but delicious and addictive. read more
I am so happy to see Malaysian Cuisine finally on Avenue u and it is actually good! I took my family here on a Wednesday night and we ate a couple appetizers, entrees, and had an amazing Coconut Pudding dessert which was nothing I've ever had before. It was so refreshing and not too sweet. The texture was like Jello. The Roti Paratha is okay, but the Chicken Satay and Beef Satay were both really yummy. The peanut sauce is addicting. We also had to get the classic Hainanese Chicken which is marinated very well and has lots of cucumbers too! The Beef Pad Thai was good but the noodles were different than typical Pad Thai thin rice noodles. These were more wide. We also got Crispy Fried Rice and Indian Mee Goreng! The staff also brought out this dish called Achat for us to try which is like a cold pickled salad which reminded me of kimchi and daikon. It was really good. Everything was good and I will come back for sure. The inside is big and there's lots of seats for small and big groups. All of the waiters were excellent! read more
We came here on a Friday night and it was super crowded! Thankfully when we came for a table of 4, we got seated within 10 mins. Others that came afterwards were waiting a really long time. My friend waited 45 mins for a table for 4. It's a small place and being that this is new for the neighborhood, everyone is going to want to come here to try. We ordered the roti, Hainanese chicken, beef pad Thai, curry ribs with rice and chow keuh teow. My parents only liked the Hainanese chicken and the sauce that came with it. My favorite was the beef pad Thai - it was good in flavor. The curry for the ribs and roti was a little too salty though and the roti was a little doughy tasting. The service was amazing - everyone was so sweet and attentive (which really pushed the stars from a 3 to a 4). Food came out quickly too. I would probably come back again if I'm craving for some Malaysian food in the neighborhood but would not really say this place is worth an hour wait. read more

The salt and pepper soft shell crab is seasoned perfectly. Roti Canai was soft yet crispy. Will definitely come back to try the butter version of the soft shell crab. read more

Ordered lunch from here and was really disappointed. I ordered the "aromatic coconut shrimp" and there was nothing coconut about it whatsoever. Two stars because the shrimp was fresh and big. Lack of stars because the shrimp were oddly half peeled and cooked? Let me tell you how much fun it was to maneuver that while sitting at my work desk. The fried noodle thread was extremely oily and salty, completely inedible, and I'll mention again a dish called coconut shrimp with no hint of coconut in it whatsoever. For the insane price ($27.50) it was a complete rip off. Won't be ordering from here again. read more
