Malacca Cafe - Nasi Lemak - Malaysian Near Me - Southlake, Texas

Wow, the food here is incredible. Everything is so authentic and made with love. You can taste the vibrancy of the spices. The food is delicious and you can tell it's made from scratch. The rendang, laksa, mi goreng, kang kong, etc., were all superb!!! I was so impressed with the fact that they made a hard to find type of Malaysian dessert called, queh, a gelatinous sweet desert assortment with flavors of pandan, coconut, and gula melacca (coconut sugar). So amazing! read more

I've eaten here several times and the food is so good and fresh. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is lovely, quiet with soft music. This is a gem in Southlake for lunch or dinner. read more

We had a party of 10 with 3 kids and they placed us in their party room which was PERFECT. The kids got to play with the interactive wall while we browsed the menu. We ordered the roti, squid in black bean sauce, sizzling tofu, crispy noodles, basa fish, and the fish porridge. They were all delicious. A lot of the dishes seemed more aligned with Cantonese food than Malaysian, but I can't complain - I love Cantonese food. The presentation was on point and the details of the decor were upscale and modern. I would love to come back and try the Hokkien Noodles. Service was great too! read more

Amazing cuisine. Friendly service. First time trying Malaysian and it did not disappoint! Everything was fresh. We are looking forward to returning. They are BYOB until they get licensed. read more

We had steamed dumplings (pork) and Malacca satay (chicken skewers). The dumplings had a thicker skin than Chinese dumplings we are used to. Can tell it was freshly handmade. The satay had a coconut seasoning and peanut sauce--slightly sweet and tasty. For entrees we shared Malacca tofu, belacan style Kangkung (water cress spinach), and hokkein mee (thick noodles with mix of meat). Each dish was surprisingly good and flavorful. Our family (with two younger kids) is used to Chinese cuisine and wanted to try other Asian foods. This restaurant did not disappoint! The table setup, decor of leaves cutout walls, tv showing the "how to" of the cooking, floor to ceiling screen of ocean life video, light jazz music made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The servers were pleasant and helpful with questions. Food was served quickly and seemed right off the stove. Everything about this place was amazing. My husband and I are already talking about when we will be back. read more

Love the ambiance and beautiful decor. Service was excellent. It was my first time trying Malaysian cuisine so I had the waitress make some suggestions. Well to my surprise I love tofu. Thank for your a great experience and I will definitely come back to try more items on the menu. read more

Malacca Cafe - Malacca Sizzling Tofu! Yummmmm1 - Malaysian Near Me - Southlake, Texas

See all

Hidden gem! The food, ambiance and service was top notch! Was very glad we took a chance at this place and will definitely be going back.

We ordered take-out for these; Malacca Sampler Roti Canai Char Kuey Teow Wat Dan ho Dried wonton noodle Malacca tofu Dried Sautéed string beans Sauté Broccoli with chicken Malacca Cendol A side of chicken rice What we liked and disliked; The dried wonton noodle tasted just like Malaysia with pickled green chili upon request. Our favorite dish overall. Malacca Sampler; only the satay and satay sauce and crispy shrimp cakes were yummy. The fried tofu was actually fried taupok which wasn't what we expected. It was hard and dry after being fried. The 5-spice meat roll was soft and mushy. The roti canai wasn't cooked inside and curry was weak. Char Kuey Teow was good with wok hei but has no Chinese sausage like Singapore version. Wah Tan Ho and sauce was very delicious. This was our 2nd favorite. Malacca tofu was the biggest disappointment. The fried soft tofu itself was very silky smooth but the sauce has very little ground pork and vegetables. There was no eggs on the tofu maybe because it was a take-out. The sauce was mostly liquid and starch with very little ingredients other than the shrimp. Definitely will not order this again. So far, the best one in the US was at Banana Leaf in Philadelphia, PA Sauté vegetables were tasty and Cendol was good. The chicken rice was too wet and soft and flavor was off. Will not order this next time either. Overall not too bad. Will go back to try other dishes for sure. read more

The food was mediocre at best. The service was terrible. The ambiance was ok. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

Incredible, authentic Malaysian experience straight from Malacca. Great service, wonderful food...I recommend it! Don't forget to ask for their ghost menu, you won't be disappointed. read more

It was the best let me say I don't really like infused food but let me tell you I got the 3 layer milk tea and got some of the curry and the sauce was prefect it wasn't to spicy we also got the fried pork I forgot what the name was but it was the best and also we got the the steamed dumplings and they were incredible good and everyone was so nice trust me come here it's one of the hole in the walls of Texas. I forgot to take pics of the food when it got here it was that good read more

love the ambiance -- the walls have a cute visual projected onto them whenever we swing by. overall thought the food was good. especially liked the SSS (something something squid??) and the bali fish. rice was a little dry and almost crunchy in both the white rice and the pineapple fried rice so that was a little off putting -- maybe day 2 rice? loved the green plum (?) drink -- salty and fizzy and reminiscent of this other drink in malaysia i forgot about read more

One word....Authentic! The Cantonese fried mee was crispy and seafood was large and generous. Okra blacan has the right heat. Nasi lemak, pork chop and char-kuey-teow.....everything was delicious. End it with Lou Hon Guo = refreshing read more

I loved this restaurant. The food was great and the service was amazing!! The decorations were great and the ambiance was awesome.

Malacca Cafe serves such a great authentic Malaysian food with so much variety of delicious menu. If you haven't try it before please stop by. The wanton noodle is so tasty and served with shrimp wanton with chasiu, exactly the same taste as in Malaysia - a must try dish ! The Cantonese style watan hor is also one of my favorite. The gravy is being cooked so well in perfect texture with the stir fried noodle in such a great "wok hey". Chicken rice is also very tasty with option of either steamed chicken in hainanese style or crispy fried chicken. The Satay is the best I ever had in Dallas so far, with just a bite you will know how perfectly it is done , it can definitely beat many Malaysian hawker satays. The quality of food and the ambience go beyond my expectation. Restaurant is very clean , modern and well setup. Thanks to Ivy for offering such an great Malaysian food in South Lake and the Awesome chef. We enjoyed the food so much. The dessert is so tempting which will be our next round of target. So please go for it and give it a try, I assure you will be satisfied with their food. read more

Amazing Malaysian food. The fusion of Chinese, Muslin and Indian influences make this cuisine a delight to the palate and transports you to Southeast Asia. I highly recommend it and you will not be disappointed. Bravo Malacca Cafe. read more

Best chicken wings ever!!!!! Love them! Love this place- I go here at least once a week ! All the food is amazing flavor and quality!

I was looking for Cantonese style fish porridge for a while. I used to order it at 369 Chinese BBQ but they dropped the dish since the new owner took over. Surprisingly, Malacca Cafe has my favorite dishes, and they make it even better! read more

The food, the service, and the restaurant were all fantastic.! I highly recommend you check this place out!

The best Malaysian food in town! We love it! The pork satays is die for! The tofu dish with shrimp sauce is delicious. The service is warm and helpful! Definitely, we will come back again very soon! read more

After reading all these 5 star reviews I had to try this for myself; I really question the legitimacy all these 5 star reviews. Whoever wants to know the real truth I encourage you to visit this place once. As a honest review, maybe this food experience was below average and maybe they were having a bad food day. No offense I know it's sink or swim in this restaurant industry and I wish the best for them. I would not recommend their Roti cannai as it just did not taste good; the roti tasted like it came out of a frozen package, flat and the side of curry was tooo salty and not savory at all. Roti canai was 0 out of 5 stars I also order their chicken and rice and it was so dry ( 1 out of 5 stars). How in the world could this place mess up two of the most basic staples of Malaysian cuisine??? I also purchased some dessert to go- some Malaysian dessert and it was soo expensive like $16 for 6 pieces. Anyways it didn't taste good either. This my husband did not like it either. Maybe i came on an off day. I wish the best for this place and you have to try it for yourself. In the economy I don't want to waste my money again on inconsistent food as it is over priced and below average On a good note, they had good service read more

The freshest, most flavorful Asian food in our area. You can taste the quality ingredients (all homemade from scratch per our waitress) The care they put into the preparation and presentation of the food is evident. The Red House Pork chop was amazing. Tender pork with a light crispy crust tossed with a tangy sweet sauce. The sauces that are paired with each dish are delicious! The decor and ambiance were also very chic. So happy to have such authentic cuisine so close! read more

Having lived in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, we long for authentic Malaysian food. We finally found it at Malacca Cafe. Though there are some others in the DFW area nothing comes even close. The food was really authentic in every way and the taste and aroma took us back to the memories of hawker stalls in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Owner Ivy knows what the customers want and serves the best with love and care. It is not just a gastronomic delight but also a place to hang out with your friends and family. This is the best! read more

The people don't care about you. We waited 2 hrs for part of our order. They didn't even say sorry. The old lady didn't even apologize. When we were brought one food dish we were told it was one dish but it was a totally other dish. Pork vs chicken. Who does that? But they didn't care, again. read more

Nothing negative to say. The food is probably better than 95% of all similar places in the area and look forward to coming back.

Excellent place & excellent food.., Excellent people.., Very great..,Try the dessert ABC such a fun dessert., Very unique..,

Hidden gem! Flavorful Asian fusion in a tasteful, nice setting. Staff was very friendly & informative. We tried new-to-us items & they were great. Will definitely come again. read more

I stopped in for a snack mid afternoon The restaurant is really nice and service was great. I had the chicken skewers which were delicious. I think the peanut sauce was a tad oily but the flavor was good. We will definitely be back for a full dinner. read more
