Had dinner here tonight with my Malaysian mom and it did not disappoint! The food was so good and very authentic. Definitely the most authentic Malaysian food I've had in Seattle. They even had an entire menu for halal options (just ask your hostess). I highly recommend the Chicken Satay, Char Kway Teow and Curry Laksa. The ambiance also felt so authentic, I loved walking in and seeing all of the Malaysian memorabilia. Will definitely be returning soon! read more

Malay Satay Hut - 7. Chicken Satay - Malaysian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

"Malaysian at its finest" Malaysian is not everyone's go to cuisine but for someone who is open minded when it comes to eating, I was pleased to find a new spot for something exotic. Malay Satay is a good place to get Malay/Singaporean dish - mixed with Chinese and even Thai flavors. A couple of favorites include hainan chicken rice, ho kee mee. Beff curry brisket, seafood laksa w/ noodle, stir fry vegetables (expensive but fresh & good) - eg: stir fry kangkung. They have a really good chili paste to compliment your dish. Plenty of indoor seating with a bar too. No outdoor seating but its always easy to get seated here anyways. read more

We came here for the hainan chicken and we're quite disappointed. The chicken plate is $19, with a much smaller than average portion and the flavor and texture are also below average. Chains like rooster and rice have better quality. This is probably a result of lack of competition. Overall we do NOT recommend this overpriced place read more

Food is great but the place needs to be deep cleaned. There is a layer of dust on most horizontal surfaces and there is a deflated balloon stuck on the ventilation intake vent. To the manager; take a day to hire a team to help you deep clean. Food and service is top, will return hoping for a cleaner environment. read more

I've loved this restaurant since it was in the earlier location in Seattle. I used to live in Malaysia, and the koay teow, roti canai and hainan chicken rice made me feel like I'd returned home. It was amazing. The last few times I've eaten there the food has been mediocre at best, but I was loyal. Last week I ordered the Penang Cjar Koay Teow for takeout. This should be a succulent, smoky dish redolent of seafood and dark soy sauce. The ultimate comfort food. The dish I unpacked at home tasted old, bland, and the flavor was just off. I added kecap manis and the chili sauce included, but my stomach revolted, and it took substantial antacid to overcome the reflux and I was sick after eating it. I will miss this place. I am very sad. read more

Time for some comfort food from Malay Satay Hut in BelRed. I enjoyed: - Roti Canai: 5/5 - Hainanese Chicken Rice: 4/5 - Malay Hokkien Mee: 4/5 - Penang Chow Kueh Teow: 4.5/5 Roti canai is one of my fave appetizers from this spot, and the kari (curry) is spot on. It's a classic Malaysian-Indian snack, and I missed getting it from the mamak stalls during my trips in The Before Times. The Hainanese chicken rice is delicious with richly scented rice and the most tender chicken, and I like that they offer a choice of dark or white meat. It also comes with a bowl of chicken broth. Both noodle dishes are great too, plenty of "wok hay" from being perfectly stir fried. Yum! Online ordering for takeout directly from the restaurant was easy and quick if you, like me, prefer not to use a third party service so more of your $ goes directly to support this local business. read more

Horrible service. Ordered 8 dishes. Had to keep reminding waitress of one remaining dish which then arrived at our table way after we had finished the other 7 dishes. Food was not as flavorful as other restaurants with similar cuisine. Ordered baby bok choy with garlic sauce which they then said they didn't have. Waitress suggested Choi sum which we agreed with. She then comes back and says they have no choi sum so how about watercress. We agreed to that. We then were served ong Choi (swamp cabbage), not watercress at all!!!! Bobba tea is horrible!!! My mango Bobba tea did not taste like mango at all. When I told waitress about it, she argued with me and insisted it was mango. She was very rude in arguing with me. Would not recommend eating here at all. read more

Had a bad experience here for their inconsistent service towards customers. I was parking my car and my pregnant wife walked in for seats. When I walked in, I noticed that she was arranged to sit at the smallest table. The table faces the entrance and was pretty chilly to sit there. What is worse is that there are bigger tables near it. I talked to the waitress and she explained the bigger table is for party of 4. BUT I told her there are another two bigger tables that sit 2 people. Then she said ok you can sit at the bigger table. But my wife already lost the appetite. I didn't try their food and probably won't ever. read more

I've been looking for a Malay restaurant for a while. East side Seattle has a lot of East Asian foods but not a lot of southeast Asian foods. I was super excited to find this place. We got the intestines, string beans, and Char Kway Teow (Curry fried rice noodles). They are all very tasty. The intestines dish especially is crispy but not too greasy. Will definitely come back again to try other dishes. read more

Came here for Sunday lunch, and had an amazing time eating delicious food! The interior decor was really nice, and the servers were very kind and welcoming. I got the Roti Canai and the Penang Chow Kueh Teow. The roti was really soft, flaky, and fresh, and the kueh teow was some of the best fried noodles I've ever had. My meal was delicious, and my friend from Singapore has been here 4x now, so I definitely plan on coming back! read more

Ok I'm updating my review, I think I was a bit too tough last time. I was craving roti canai tonight, so I went to get some to go. While there I got inspired and ordered roti telur and some pork fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious! There is only one lady on the front of the house that tries to juggle everything, tables, incoming people, to go orders, phone orders, and it shows. Service is a bit slow, but she's really trying hard. I appreciate the effort, trying to keep the business afloat in this tough times. A+ for effort, even though customer service suffers a bit. Anyway, the food was absolutely delicious and we'll be back to support them for sure. read more

My family and friends decide to take me here during my visit to Seattle/Bellevue. I was looking forward to this since it's been a while since I had malaysian food and it's tough to find it locally in San Jose. We order a large variety of different entrees since we were a party of six. Overall the food was very tasty with each dish having its own unique flavor. Portion size was good. Tucked in a strip mall, the interior atmosphere was nice and the service was attentive. If you're craving for something different from your routine Asian cuisine, give this restaurant a try. read more

Ordered take out from here recently and was no near impressed. I had attempted to order their hainanese chicken and rice and was told they were out so I ended up ordering it for take out the following day, which wasn't so convenient for me. For two orders of the chicken and rice plus tip, the total came out to $35. What I received was totally unacceptable, especially at the price I paid. In both orders, my bf and I had literally received just bones, skin, and very little meat. I found myself attempting to gnaw the chicken off the bones to no avail. The rice was overcooked, mushy, and flavorless. The soup that came with the meal tasted like hot water with a few green onions floating around. There was simply nothing redeemable about this dish or our visit. We were thoroughly disappointed with our meal and do not plan on returning to this establishment. read more

This will be the last time I order here. I ordered chicken rice, but the rice is not fully cooked, and the chicken is dry. The food is cold. This isn't the first time, and I won't be ordering here anymore." Not even worth for 1 star read more

Came here for dinner recently after a very long time, we used to come here regularly before, and with all the other options missed this place. I am so glad the food here is as great as we remember it. We started off with roti thelur, we have always loved this appetizer, it's simple and so delicious. For the main course, we got Tom Yum rice noodle soup, and curry lamb. The soup was delicious, perfect for a cold night. The curry lamb was exactly as we remember it, so good. We will be back soon. read more

An update since my last review. I've now ordered from Malay Satay Hut twice - once for take out, once for dine in. Both times, I admit, I was floored by how flavorful and diverse in taste the food was. If you're looking for something different from the dumpling joints (which are also delicious), I recommend a (dine in!) visit to this establishment. Originally, I was left with a bad impression of the place as I spent a very long time waiting to pick up my take out order (even though I'd arrived 15 minutes after they estimated my order would be ready). Perhaps they were just very busy that night! My dine in experience was much smoother, and the waitresses were friendly and prompt in responding to our requests. As I mentioned previously, ambiance is very cozy - lots of families seem to drop by, and the restaurant seems very accommodating to large groups. I would definitely come back for another visit! :) read more

Incredible food, awesome people! It is our go-to place for celebrations. The food is delicious & healthy.

Great place to get a taste of Malaysian food! Not completely authentic but it gets pretty close. Definitely must try! 4 stars because service is slow because of the lack of servers. Food is fast! read more

We had gone there mainly to eat crabs as the place was highly recommended for the same. Unfortunately, they didn't have crabs to offer. We ordered food from the regular menu and apart from their Mango Papaya salad everything else was not good at all. Service is below par. The restaurant had a very distinct stink which made us difficult to sit and try to savor the undelecious food. I felt it was waste of money. read more

I found Malay Satay Hut to be ok but not amazing. The appetizers tasted a lot better than the main course and saved their rating for me. For appetizers, the chicken satay is pretty good and also the roti canal is good which is like lacha paratha from India with a curry. The curry was amazing and I wish I would have had that with rice. For main course, I had the curry laksa which is like a ramen. I opted for the yellow wheat noodles. You can see it in the photo, it looked super appetizing. It comes with some shrimps and a boiled egg and two pieces of tofu. Also a couple of fish balls. Not much for healthiness apart from that, just carbs .The soup itself was also salty which led me to removing one star. That said my friends thought this place was a lot better than my experience. The place also has a nice vibe, big tables and service is nice and fast. You can probably spot your microsoft coworkers here at any time. read more

Malay Satay Hut - Curry Laksa with Yellow Noodle - Malaysian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Delicious authentic Malaysian food! I've had this in my bookmarks list for months since I returned from Malaysia. I finally made it here while on the east side yesterday and cannot say enough good things about the experience. Use Google Maps to navigate here as the iPhone maps app will get you lost! The restaurant is on the right side of the shopping center facing the Goodwill. The server was friendly and our food came out within 10 minutes, hot, piping fresh, and delicious. The Malaysian pad thai dish blew me away. I've never had noodles more fresh than these. I was going to order the chow kway teow but the server said they were more like beef chow fun (Chinese style dish) and I was looking for the darker Malaysian version of the dish. I opted for the Malaysian pad thai and found this to be more like a traditional char kwey teow that I fell in love with abroad! The mee siam was equally delicious - I'm not usually one for the thin rice noodles but this dish was amazing. I am eager to come back here the next time I'm on the east side! I feel like the less than stellar ratings of this establishment are by a lot of people who come in expecting Chinese or Thai food. Malaysian food is such a delicacy with unique flavors and tastes and needs to be appreciated as such. If you want authentic Malaysian/Indonesian/Singaporean food this will not disappoint. read more

The 4 stars is for the Hainanese Chicken Rice! I'm not sure where else in Seattle/Eastside that I can find this chicken rice. I come here solely for this and they never disappoint me. You can choose with white or dark meat and comes with rice cooked with chicken stock. The meat is not overcooked and the side sauce pairs well. I just wish the were more cucumbers. read more

Ate this after a long hike and the food was super filling! The Roti was easily the best part and most flavorful out of my options. The curry tofu pot was also a lot of food and pretty good. Wasn't s huge fan of the satay tofu, I didn't like how the bean sprouts and cucumber gave a very watery taste to it, but the curry side was good. Overall the food itself was pretty good! Also the bathroom was clean, and the ambiance was soothing. read more

The Malay Hokkien mee was yummy, flavourful! The roti canai was almost perfect, it was fluffy but would've liked the curry to be a bit more spicy. The nasi lemak's rice probably needed more taste of coconut and the chicken was sadly very dry, we couldn't finish that but the sambal was tasty. The chicken satay was grill very well but the sauce needed more taste. The kang kung was cooked very well! read more

Good spot for Malaysian food. For appetizers, I've tried the chicken satay and the roti canai -- the chicken satay & accompanying sauce were just ok, but the roti canai was amazing! For entrees, I've tried the curry laksa, mee goreng and mee Siam. I do wish the hard boiled egg with the mee Siam was a bit less well done, but otherwise everything was tasty. The portions are very large too, and I always have leftovers. The prices are very reasonable. read more

Malay Satay Hut - 5. Mee Siam - Malaysian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

So I decided instead of where my family were going to take me for Mother's Day, I wanted to dine at Malay Satay Hut. Plus it's about a 40 minute drive for us if traffic is heavy. Today was it only took us about 30 mins. Because of my past experience at Malay Satay Hut, which was probably a couple years ago, because I noticed I forgot to write a review of how amazing an experience it was. My first time at MSH I couldn't stop eating the Malaysian Pork Chop, I loved the egg plant with garlic sauce back then, and the Roti Canna(sp?)was scrumptious. More please! Well today not so much. I couldn't pinpoint why it wasn't as good as before. My first time there I would've given them a five star. Second time I went another five star again. But today I wanted to give a two star, but I decided to be kind and give them a 3 because it wasn't all bad. First thing for Mother's Day this place was not packed at all. Not like the other two restaurants my family wanted to take me. One restaurant in tukwila had a 2 1/2 hour wait, another place in Bellevue was an hour and a half wait. But I wanted my Malaysian pork from MSH. So they drove me there. Here are the... pros: the dishes were tasty, had flavor, but not excellent. Not busy on a Mother's Day. Our server was pleasant. The curry lamb was good. Too spicy for me, but my husband really enjoyed it. I tasted a little of the lamb, and had good flavor. Chicken Satay good, just a little dry. The best part of the meal was the roti canna(sp?) Cons: although not busy, it took a while for someone to take our orders. But that's really no biggie to us. We were patient. I was disappointed with the Malaysian Pork Chop. We drove all the way there just for it. It's not the same as before. My daughter said it tasted like they put a lot of ketchup. It's not the same dish as I remember at all. I just can't explain it! Maybe someone else can tell me what it is about the change of this pork dish. Egg plant with garlic sauce was tasty, but so oily we could barely eat it. We took it home to hopefully eat for leftover, and remove the oil it was soaking in. The beef chow fun was okay, but if you eat the curry lamb first, the chow fun will seem like it lacks flavor. I really wanted to get dessert, but after the disappointing meal, we decided to go a few doors down to boba express to get boba drinks. *I found out later that MSH was under new management by the family who introduced us to this place, now I know why it's not the same. With all the good reviews they received recently, I'm thinking maybe this place is a hit or miss. But my friend told me that the last time she went to visit MSH, she experienced the same disappointment, and she's Malaysian. I'm Asian as well, so I'm a person who will pretty much eat anything. It's really too bad, because we(normally a party of 15) were all willing to drive 30-40 minutes, but not anymore. . read more

Why did I go back? Think twice, maybe three times before dining in at Malay Satay Hut. Don't go when you're hungry and pack your patience. They prioritize take out orders over in house dining and customers at the restaurant feel it. There was a 15 minute wait just for someone to acknowledge we were waiting. No welcome, I'll be with you on a moment, nothing. When we were finally seated, it took another 20 minutes to place an order, then another 20 minutes to get our food. The servers at this place are experts in avoiding eye contact. After finishing up we Waited 15 minutes for the bill. Nothing. We finally got up from the table and stood at the register to pay. The server freaked out when she looked over at our table and saw we were gone. This was the only time they noticed us because they thought they would get stiffed. If they can't sustain a brick and mortar, can't be bothered with customer service and profit more from takeout, close your doors and focus on Uber eats, DoorDash customers only. My advice is to stay away and go to a spot where customers are welcomed. It's not Malay Satay Hut. read more

I was craving roti. It was good though it wasn't as good as I imagined it in my head. Maybe the anticipation killed it. We had a big group so we got lots of dishes. We would order again: * roti canai * yong chow fried rice * chow khue teow (chow fun-like noodles) We will not re-order: * black pepper and chicken * pineapple fried rice * pork chops The service was good compared to last time I went which is weird cuz I got bad service when the place was empty, but better service this time even though it was busy. Customer service is a crapshoot, I suppose. This really should be 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. read more

Walking in your nostrils are assaulted by the odor of fish sauce. You'll rapidly get over it and have a great dining experience. My family came in, and the four of us ordered four dishes. Yam basket: Deep fried yam cake in the form of a container full of goodies including shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, baby corn, and snow peas. We loved it. The yam itself was crispy and starchy, the basket full of treats. It probably could have fed two people by itself. Beef Rendang: Our portion by itself probably had enough fish sauce to drink up the whole joint. It had great complexity of flavor and plenty of savory beef in the thick curry sauce, but the serving was small for the price, looked like baby diarrhea, and was definitely too heavy on the fish sauce. Not saying I didn't enjoy it of course. Garlic Eggplant: Great portion size. Savory and flavorful, although it could have been tangier and the eggplant cooked more. Chicken Satay: Standard, nothing good or bad to say about it. All in all the food was tasty and different from the same old Mongolian beef- teriyaki chicken- phad thai grind. Prices are higher than other restaurants but feed 1.5-2 people each. I would eat here again. read more

The restaurant looks like a boat inside with tropical memorabilia around their bar area which makes the place unique. The staff are usually nice. This is a great place for a casual lunch. I really like the Malay hokkien mee noodles here. However, the meals haven't been consistent. 3 out of 4 times I've come here to order this, it's been amazing... but once it was extremely salty and impossible to even eat. Maybe it was just an off day because when I went again the noodles were cooked just right and very delicious. read more
