Even better if you use their app and take advantage of the discounts they offer. The place is well maintain, very clean and though it's not, all the furnishings look new. We found that ordering the bigger plate is the way to go! A plate comes with a side, and two entrées, however, the bigger plate comes with an additional entrée, for only an additional $1.80. Making it a really good value, especially when you share a meal or if you're looking to take something home for later! When you order the teriyaki chicken, it's just chicken flavored with teriyaki, and you get a really large portion of chicken. I like my food a little spicy and found the black pepper chicken is delicious! My wife really loves their orange chicken, which apparently is their number one seller! In addition to a sods fountain with ice tea, they have four special drinks, which are a slightly higher price, but are very good... I prefer the mango tea! An important note, I've been to a number of other Pands, this one is the best one I've ever eaten at, which is probably one of the reasons we keep coming back, unfortunately they're not all this good! I highly recommend this location!

My recent visit to Malacca in Southlake, Texas, unfolded as a culinary journey rich in Malaysian authenticity and tantalizing flavors. I was eager to explore the depths of this culinary gem, and I must say, Malacca exceeded all expectations. To start, I opted for the Roti Canai as an appetizer--a crispy flatbread served with the house's special curry chicken dipping sauce. The interplay of textures, from the flaky roti to the robust curry, set the tone for what proved to be an exceptional dining experience. For the main course, our amazing server, Ivy, brought out a Mixed Vegetables Curry Clay Pot, which was a delightful medley of red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, okra, string beans, cabbage, and carrots, all simmered in the house's aromatic curry soup. The flavors were both comforting and bold, making it a standout choice. I also tried the Curry Chicken, a dish that did not disappoint, though my personal preference leaned toward the nuanced flavors of the Mixed Vegetables Curry Clay Pot. To cap off the meal, I indulged in Malacca Cendol for dessert. This traditional Malaysian treat was a symphony of flavors and textures, with pandan-flavored shaved ice, palm sugar, coconut milk, and green rice flour jelly, with some kind of sweetened beans. These are flavors that I would never expect in a dessert, but when eaten together, were delicious! During my dining experience, I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman from Singapore, accompanied by his two children. With their encouragement, I tried some off-menu Singapore-inspired treats, though I don't recall the name of the treats. These items, available for purchase near the register, were nostalgic delights for the Singaporean family, transporting them back to their childhood. The Singaporean gentleman highly recommended trying the Hokkien Mee on my next visit--an authentic dish featuring thick noodles braised with sliced pork, squid, shrimp, fishcake, and vegetables. His passion for the dish was infectious, and while it sounds tempting, there are still many other enticing options on Malacca's extensive menu that beckon exploration. From the Curry Chicken Noodle Soup to signature items like Mango Delight, Malacca Tofu, and Homestyle Basa Fish, the menu promises a journey through the diverse and delectable offerings of Malaysian cuisine. In summary, Malacca in Southlake is a culinary haven that skillfully captures the essence of Malaysian flavors. With a menu that boasts both authenticity and innovation, accompanied by a warm ambiance and attentive service, Malacca has firmly secured its place as a top-rated dining destination in the heart of Texas. read more

While on the search for a place to dine today, my little one and I stumbled upon Malacca Cafe in Southlake. What a delightful surprise! The manager kindly assisted us in choosing dishes that perfectly suited our tastes. Her recommendations were spot on, and we felt like we were enjoying a home-cooked meal. The portions were very generous and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. My little one loved the Mango tea, and she devoured the spring rolls and dumplings. As for me, I savored a delectable freshly made squid dish. We're already looking forward to our next visit to this restaurant. I would highly recommend anyone looking for something new to try or for a home-cooked meal with a taste full of rich ingredients to please try this amazing restaurant! read more

We noticed on the Yelp! map that there was a Burmese restaurant that we have never tried. We love Burmese food and thought, why not? What a gem of a place this was! From the moment we walked in to this immaculately clean restaurant, we had a feeling we had made a good choice. I ordered the Kyay Oh stew with pork meatballs and offal because I wanted something really authentic. My husband ordered beef flat noodles with added veggie stir fry. I have to say, my soup was so clean and fresh tasting. I took a gamble because not everyone can prepare the offal without an off flavor or scent. The flavor of this soup is something I will never forget and I loved the greens and quail eggs as well. My husband's noodle dish had an incredible flavor without being too heavily dressed or seasoned. Our waiter was very helpful in answering our questions. He was very friendly.

North Texas has just landed a casual Thai restaurant. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Located in Carrollton's many strip malls, the first thing I noticed about Mun Gai Thai Street Food was that it was packed on Saturday for lunch (very good sign). The center had an area for the servers was decorated like a food cart. Plenty of tables which the staff quickly turned over. 1 Star. Service - Speaking of servers, they wore bright street vests that construction workers wear which blended well with the theme. They were very fast and efficient. No issues here. 1 Star. Food - I'm not a Thai expert, so I don't know what makes it street food, but what I ate was very good. We started with the fried chicken skin. Great crunch, but the dip is needed to add flavor to the crispy, crunchy, but neutral tasting skin. The pork belly and BBQ pork, on the other hand, was an explosion of flavor. The pork belly was nice and tender, and the BBQ pork was sliced thin and had a sweet and savory sauce. This was the star of my meal. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. I am impressed. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed my lunch. If the restaurant is full, it's good. I'll be back. 1 Star.

Which it's much better than it looks in the menu, they've changed the presentation.

And because you build them yourself, you can have them as meat fill or less whatever you'd like. It's so perfect on a hot day. And then I was still a teeny bit hungry so I went ahead and got the tofu bites which were volcanically hot at first, but once they cool down, they were amazing. I like to split them open and then dip them into the sweet-and-sour sauce that comes with them. My friend likes to add a little bit of the chili sauce to it, make a little spicy too... The Beauty of all their appetizers is you can be creative with so many beautiful things ... they have for you to eat and can build your own. For example, when you get a soup, they come with pickles and mint and lime and other amazing ingredients so you can build it the way you want it and the beauty of getting the two I got today was what I didn't eat on the lettuce wraps I could add to the tofu bites and it was amazing . I had the Thai lemon tea, which is one of my favorites and then I had a coconut water, which was delicious. I highly recommend you come by and try.
