Visited Malaysia beef jerky and got 2 pounds of jerky. The storefront is small and only fits about 3-4 people standing space inside. I got a half pound of spicy pork jerky, half pound of regular pork jerky, half pound of spicy beef, jerky, and half pound of regular beef jerky, along with some coconut pastries, and puffs. They have a lot of biscuits on the shelves behind the counter service was good. There was only one person in front of me when I came on a Saturday morning and my total came out to about $60 with two types of biscuits + 2 lbs of jerky. read more

I was recently in Ipoh, Malaysia and had the best chicken jerky. When I knew I'd be in New York for two days, I made sure I had time to pick up some because fresh jerky is hard to find in Northern California. Malaysia Beef Jerky is a tiny shop located on Mott Street in Chinatown. They have all kinds of jerky - beef, chicken and pork. They are already sliced and you buy them by the weight. I got half pound of chicken and half pound of spicy pork and came out to be $36! Whoa, I had no idea it was that expensive for a pound of jerky! To be fair, they were delicious! It was fresh, good texture, thinly sliced and flavorful. Most importantly, it brought back happy memories of my trip to Malaysia. Service was quick and they do take credit card. read more

There are many Beef Jerky places in Manhattan Chinatown; competition is fierce! I've always gone to Jung's Dried Beef but recently have tried two other places: Ling Kee Beef Jerky and Malaysia Beef Jerky. Malaysia Beef Jerky is pretty good: -- it's more reasonably priced than Jung's Dried Beef ($52/lb) but prices aren't as good as Ling Kee Beef Jerky ($30/lb). -- Their "spicy" beef jerky is so flavorful and spicy. -- Texture is more like a pressed meat, and much more moist that the others...maybe too moist? So if you want Jerky, they're all pretty good but there is a clear winner among the 3 Jerky places. My ranking of the 3 main Beef Jerky places in Manhattan Chinatown: 1.Ling Kee (superior) ($30/lb) 2.Jung's Dried Beef ($52/lb) 3.Malaysia Beef Jerky ($34/Ib) read more

Malaysia Beef Jerky - Pork Square Jerky - Meat Shops Near Me - New York, New York

This Malaysian style beef jerky was a pretty interesting snack stop in Chinatown. Definitely different from the typical American jerky most people are used to. Instead of being super dry and tough, the meat was thin, slightly sticky, juicy, and packed with a sweet smoky flavor. The texture almost felt closer to grilled meat than dried jerky. Cool little shop to try something different while walking around the area. I could see some people loving the sweeter style more than others, but overall it was tasty and worth trying at least once. read more

Malaysia Beef Jerky - Spicy Beef and Pork - Meat Shops Near Me - New York, New York

There's nothing like Asian beef jerky and this spot specializes in it! You can buy as much or as little as you like while being charged by the pound. For 1/4lb, it's $7.50 equaling $30/lb. I ordered 1/4lb Beef Jerky and 1/4lb Spicy Pork Jerky, which was 4 pieces of each. The beef jerky ended up being heavier so I think I ended up with 3/4lb in total instead but it's all good since this stuff is delicious! They also wrap it up in wax paper and then plastic as it can be quite oily. To be honest, the beef and pork tasted quite similar with the beef tasting a bit meatier. I also didn't notice much difference between spicy and non-spicy. If you're picking one, I'd just stick to the classic pork jerky here. It's a great snack and trust me, you won't be able to have just one! I love how fresh these jerkies are too. You can see them grilling them right in front of you. It's a delicious eat that you can save for later too since I know you're probably full from all the other Chinatown eats in the neighborhood. read more

This moved from their prior shop, which I think was on Elizabeth. Still wonderful jerky, but the prices have gone up a bunch! I wish they had a fruity beef jerky, but they said that's not in the plan for now. A tasty treat - especially fresh, but not cheap! Like the pork jerky the best! What a wonderful fragrance :) read more

This might be the most underrated snack in Chinatown. They make Malaysian Chinese-style jerky at Malaysia Beef Jerky, and it's not your typical jerky - it's soft, tender, smoky, and sweet. It's closer to smoky barbecue candy than the dry, leathery jerky most people are used to. They have pork, beef, and chicken options (I like the pork one the most). The flavors are bold but balanced, not too salty and not too dry. Everything is grilled fresh right in front of you, so you get it warm with a slight smoky char, which makes a big difference. You can eat the jerky with congee or just snack on it. Tucked right in Chinatown, Malaysia Beef Jerky is a family-run, multigenerational spot that makes everything fresh daily. The jerky are sold by weight, making it perfect for a snack or a souvenir! read more

My nephew loves beef jerky and when we passed this place I knew he was going in to check this place out. I personally am not a fan of dried beef jerky until I came here. There was really a nice selection of beef, chicken, or pork jerky. They also offered spicy jerky. Everything was just so fresh and you buy it by the pound. He bought the regular beef jerky and it was so tasty. The beef jerky was warm and tender. It was so delicious. Not that typical dried hard jerky that I normally stayed away from. This is definitely a place that I will be coming back to on my own. read more

I did not realize they moved!! I think they used to be a block over on Elizabeth... and I actually thought they closed. But passed by and I blinked 2x... this is their new location. Tucked away in a small cozy stall closer to Bayard. Same aunties churning out delicious jerky! My favorites are the spicy and non-spicy pork jerky. It's $15 for 1/2 lb now... but you can mix & get 1/4 lb of your picks. It's plenty for a snack. read more

Malaysia Beef Jerky - Delicious Malaysian jerky - Meat Shops Near Me - New York, New York

Asian beef jerky is so good! It's not like the overly dry and hard jerky you get from bagged products. I've been buying from this spot and another nearby older shop for years and they're both delicious. Spicy pork is the go to, but the beef is good too. Super tender and packed with flavor and just a small amount of spice. The only downside is that it is $30 per lb now, but it is a still a go to snack that I get any time I'm in the city and something I bring back for the family. Unlike the other spot, they also have an online shop if you're craving it, but unable to get it in person or if you want to send some to others to try. Best to eat your jerky within 3 days or refrigerate it. I'd be surprised if it lasted long enough for you to need to refrigerate though because these get straight up devoured in my family. read more

I was interested in Malaysia Beef Jerky because I could not bring it back from Macau. There are 6 favors available spicy beef, beef, spicy chicken, chicken, spicy pork, and pork. You order by the pound and can ask for sample if you don't know which one you want to buy. You can see them grilling them in the shop. Best to eat within 3 days. I prefer the non-spicy versions. Good snack from time to time. read more

GOD TIER JERKY! That's it I said it! So one day this location popped up on my Instagram feed. Basically educating me to enlighten myself with some amazing smoked meats that's if I was to ever visit NYC. IG was not wrong, I'll tell you that AND GUESS WHAT! I finally went to the big apple! So their site mentions they have been serving their delectable goodness since 1996! That's almost 30 years! Bravo! Smokey, spicy, sticky, chewy I mean just plain old FRICKEN BOMB. I mean finger licking good. Now just an fyi, the only issue I had was finding this location on apple maps, it said it was at this specific location but there was a thrift shop there. After exploring Chinatown, we ended up finding it. Boy was that a mission. So they got a few options on their menu and let me tell you that smokey sweet aroma is filled in the air once you walk in. Sliced, spicy, non spicy, ground flat versions. All smoked up, all sticky and like I mentioned the best jerky I've ever had. Super fresh, so flavorful, damn good. This is a family owned business, you are dealing with. Hard working individuals who have mastered their craft since day one. Also the shop is so small, you can barely let anyone pass beside you but I'm a big back so that was my case. Yet they serve the most delicious smoked meats ever. I'm extremely thankful I stumbled upon this place. I can honestly say it was dream come true. Gave me a new standard to what jerky is and should was be like. And just to specify, the spicy sliced pork was my favorite, sliced beef was just as good but that sweet and spicy kick with the pork was something else. Thanks for making dreams come true Malaysian Beef Jerky! read more

Stumbled upon this spot & my mom and I escatic..so got my dad's attention.& He got spicy pork & beef, I got 1/4 lb pork & beef..another great find!! read more

This place is a must whenever I'm in Chinatown! They recently moved to a new location on Mott Street and everything is still the same! You can't go wrong with whichever you get! I personally love the spicy pork & spicy beef jerky! Always fresh and the meat is very tender! It is very pricey but worth it! For 1/4lb, you get about 4 squares slices and 1/2lb is about 7-8 square slices. They pack them in individual bags and label them. Definitely worth trying! read more

They moved locations and it's not cash only, they accept credit card/tap to pay now! They've been around for a very long time and their jerky is always a hit with family and friends. I usually get pork or chicken, not really the beef because I think it's just not as tender. It's smokey, sweet, soft, and tender! They have square pieces or strips of jerky, but they're both same price. They put it in a baggy and weigh it in front of you. read more

This spot is a staple of Chinatown & I'm glad it was able to survive COVID, when other food spots shut down. My go to protein is the chicken jerky, both spicy and non spicy. $15 for half a pound, it was a lot to eat but worth it! This jerky didn't come to play--it came to flex. Every strip looked like it survived a desert, a campfire, and a motivational speech. Tough? Nope, it was moist, soft, and tender. Tasty? Yes! Like chicken went on a vision quest and came back full of wisdom and showered with flavor. Smoky, savory, and the best part, no MSG or preservatives!! read more

Perfect place to stop for a high-protein snack in the middle of Chinatown! I was walking around and craving a small bite to eat when I stumbled on this gem. They have spicy and non-spicy versions of beef, chicken, and pork squared jerky. This type of jerky is much more tender than American jerky that you may be more familiar with. I had the spicy pork squared jerky, and it was delicious!! SUPER tender and juicy. I asked for 1/4lb which was $9 including tax. Not sure if you could get less than 1/4lb, but that's what I chose because that weight was on their menu. I would love to try their sliced jerky next time to see how it compares to American jerky and the squared Malaysian version I had. The shop is small, but the service is very friendly and you can be in and out very quickly. They take card/Apple Pay as well, which is always helpful to know. read more

Perhaps THE souvenir to bring back when visiting nyc. Well if your friends and family are foodies and are flying within the US. This family run business has some serious knowledge on how to make the juiciest and tenderest jerky. Forget dry stringy jerky that hurts to eat, come try Malaysian jerky that is saucy and oh so tender. We called in our order, as we knew we wanted to bring some home. They vacuumed sealed our order and labeled everything for us. We went with the spicy pork, regular pork, and the beef. Of the three I would say the spicy pork is the winner, although you cannot go wrong. I did notice the pork was more tender than the beef. I would say the jerky is on the sweet side but a sweet savory not a candied fruit sweet. I believe this spot is cash only so be sure to bring some. Note we place our order over the phone in Cantonese but the staff speaks English as well. When we came to pick up our order we even got to sample the chicken flavor which was also delicious! read more

I am a BIG fan of Malaysia Beef Jerky! I always try to make an effort to come get some jerky to bring back home when I'm visiting NYC. Although it's a small storefront they make their jerky in-house daily and it is very fresh and high quality. It is a little pricy (I paid ~$48 in cash for 1.5 lb of jerky) but so worth it. They have pork, beef, and chicken jerky but my favorites are the spicy pork and spicy beef. In my opinion it's not really spicy, but just more flavorful than the non-spicy versions! Both are really tasty nonetheless as they are smoky and very tender. It's also awesome how they don't use any preservatives either when making their jerky. I love how they have great packaging too, there are stickers that clearly label what jerky is when you purchase it. It comes in a bag that also isn't flimsy so when you get your warm jerky it doesn't tear or get wet. Would highly recommend giving this place a try and treating yourself to high-quality jerky! read more

This is a take out spot. They display the jerky in glass cases. It's pricy compared to bulk jerky, obviously.. but a lot, $30/$31 per pound. I got a large piece of each, spicy beef, pork, and chicken. The beef was just okay.. it did have a nice kick though. The spicy pork jerky on the other hand, wow! Delicious! Spicy, sweet, chewy, pulls apart... definitely a must try. Will post about the chicken later read more

These jerkies are the best. I've been eating them since I was young and it's no doubt similar to the ones in Malaysia. Is it pricey? Yes, it's $29-30 a pound, but it's truly worth to spurge once in a while. It's also great for souvenirs for anyone in the states. These jerkies are different than Slim Jim's, it's sweet, smoky and tender. The service is quick and friendly with Chinese Aunties. It is also super fresh. It was still warm when I got it and some were being grilled. The shop is small and they also have some drinks in the fridge and cookies on the counter. They will move next month. read more

This store FEELS like what Chinatown is & what's to come for the future. I've walked by the storefront many times, but was never interested to go in until I saw a Food tour on the social medias. I can see why they have been awarded Michelin stars. It's a small shop but extremely well organized and there is someone freshly cooking the jerky on a grill set up at the front windows, two huge displays with at least 10 different kinds of jerky. There's also very fresh looking butter, cookies, eggroll cookies, those fried Malaysian flower lacey cookies. A small fridge to the left with a few limited drink options - water, Vita chrysanthemum boxed tea, lemon, iced tea. It was a little overwhelming, the customers ahead of me bought half a pound a spicy chicken. I think half pound was $10, quarter pound $7. I asked for a quarter pound and if I could mix and the worker said yes. I got three pieces of the beef (on the right side, and spicy pork (also on the right). They told me the difference between the left and right cases, I think the ones on the right were juicier. Left may have been just smoked ones? I'll have to go back and do a real comparison taste test. They packed the jerky up very nicely in separate wax bags with new but retro (play on old school Chinese product) stickers - very nice branding! And then put it in an acetate plastic sleeve. The thought and care at the shop really shows, but still in a very humble, homey, non-shiny Chinese space. The jerky was still warm! I ate two slices right out front of the shop. The marinade is a kind of sweet, soy sauce, marinade, very typical of Cantonese cooking. Very strong! I couldn't really taste the difference between the regular and spicy at the time. The next day I tried the jerky again to compare, and I didn't taste any spice from the pork. Both still tasted about the same. However, I prefer the pork over the beef. The beef definitely had more of the meat flavor coming through. I think, pork, and maybe chicken; is a lighter cleaner, jerky experience. 2-3 groups of tourists stopped in quickly as I was eating. I guess jerky crosses all cultures. read more
