As one of the only full fledged restaurants in JusGo, Mamak holds the distinction for being the only Malaysian establishment in Sugar Land (#1) and more importantly, is one of the best options for Malaysian fare in all of the Houston area. The combination of Malay Bahasa and accented Mandarin is often spoken by the staff, along with a few Teochew words thrown in between. They're warm, friendly, and make solid recommendations depending on preference. The interior is spacious, airy, primed with lots of open seating but is often empty. Almost each time I've dined here I was the only customer or among the only people dining at all. The roti canai is among the better versions I've had since being in Texas. The bread is perfectly flakey and is a lethal combo with their nicely spiced chicken curry. Equally impressive was the laksa, which featured a heavy dose of coconut milk and a broth that could cure any winter blues. Their generic chicken curry was everything but as it packed heat, flavor, and plenty of soft potatoes to go with the texture bomb of the white rice. Both the beef and chicken satay impressed, as did the char kway two which was only a tinge only with plenty of 'essence" in the wok char (#2). The only dish that didn't hit was also the most expensive one, which was beef rendang, one of my all time favorite dishes. While the curry was pungeant and flavorful, the meat was tough all the around. The chewiness is a turn off, especially when it comes to sauce heavy dishes. Mamak is the kind of place where good food and good company thrive. JusGo doesn't get a lot of kudos for featuring quality options but trust when Mamak is the real (Malaysian) deal. ___________ (#1) For now. (#2) Wok hei.

Great Malaysian food with many different flavors and textures. Food comes out pretty fast even for medium sized parties like ours.

This little place inside Jusgo had some of the most amazing food. Service is always great. Had the satay, beef flat noodles, golden rice with randang and fried chicken, roti with randang and roti with chicken. Everything was amazing

Mamak is another staple of the Jusgo Supermarket restaurant scene. Many of my Malaysian friends have emphasized that food here tastes authentic and comparable, if not better, than food in Malaysia. That's a very high praise. Every time I come, my must orders include the roti sampler and the satay combo. The roti is layered, soft, and so buttery- literally my favorite. The satay skewers with the paired sauce is delicious as well. The rest of my dish rotation includes the sizzling tofu, laksa, hainese chicken, beef rendang rice plate, and sometimes a noodle dish as well. Everything on this menu has great flavor profiles. I think my only slight qualm is how expensive comparatively the menu is here. The portions are pretty small compared to the prices. Otherwise, service, ambiance, and food are great.

F3. Fish Fillet Curry Laksa

Mamak is in a corner of the restaurants placed at the entrance of Jusgo. The restaurant was slightly dimly lit with cute light fixtures and lots of seating. When we got seated, ordering was very quick and so was getting our food. My friend and I shared the roti canai with curry sauce. The roti came out pipping hot and it was soft but not very crispy. I still thoroughly enjoyed it though! The dips and the roti were a classic and so yummy 8/10. My friend and I also both got laksas, I got the mamak and she got the fish-fillet. The mamak comes with chicken, fish tofu, fish skin, bean sprouts, and eggplant. Both bowls had so much protein which definitely felt worth the price! My bowl was room temperature as I ate it which decreased the appeal as the curry became lukewarm but my friend's stayed hot the entire time. The noodle portion and texture were good as well. My friend's bowl was also a little bit spicier than mine, which I would have liked more as it felt more flavorful. I also wish the laksa was a bit creamier.

I come here pretty regularly and it is still all good. My favorite is still the curry laksa. My guy that works there knows my order by now. Never crowded and the food comes quick. Great spot for Malaysian.

Fast service. Nice variety of dishes. We tried the fried rice, coconut rice, nasi lemak, roti with curry, and the beef satay. The taste is very authentic. The roti came with 3 different sauces- a curry, green sauce and a tamarind sauce. I had never had the tamarind sauce with roti. For me that one sauce made the meal unforgettable. The satay and peanut sauce with a side of cucumber was comforting. The nasi lemak was ok, not my favorite. The coconut rice was very underwhelming. The fried rice was nothing special. You can byob Totally worth a try. Would go back as other Malaysian restaurants are not in the area.

This place was delicious! I have never had Malaysian food, and I was pleasantly surprised. There was so much flavor and spice in all of the dishes I had! There were so many options as well, and the service was great! It is a tad hard to find as it is in a big grocery shopping center, but there's plenty of parking which was nice. I had the sweet and sour shrimp which was delicious because there were tomatoes and peppers in the dish which made it extra tasty.

Recently dropped by for lunch, and my friend and I enjoyed the food there immensely. We had the Char Kway Teow, Roti with curry chicken, and the salt and pepper fish fillet. Our favorite was the salt and pepper fish fillet, but we both agree that all that we ordered are good. The roti was fluffy and warm. The noodles in the char kway teow were seasoned well. Simply delicious, and we were stuffed at the end of the meal! Prices are also fairly reasonable. The food also came out quickly, and the staff helped with all of our requests. Will definitely come back again! Previously, I've also tried the curry laksa and hainan chicken with rice, which I also enjoy! The only problem I think is having to pick what to eat next time!!

Affordable Malaysian, one of the better Asian restaurants in Sugarland! Conveniently located inside the 99 Ranch. + Laksa is solid, not too oily. + Golden fried salt and pepper calamari is fire + Sizzling tofu is solid + Fair pricing + Nice ambiance - Waiter didn't hear us well and punched in an order for two appetizers when we asked just for a recommendation between the two...

Nasi lemak and roti
Jenny Q.

Ordered take out from here since I was craving Malaysian food. I got the nasi lemak and roti! Roti was done well, I could taste the flakiness and it paired well with the sauces. Both came with chicken curry which was so flavorful. I can't tolerate spice but I couldn't stop eating it! The coconut rice was so fragrant and the peanuts and anchovies combined made a good experience. I would definitely recommend ordering from here at least once!

What I ordered Delicious
Y T.

Me and my 5 kids went here to have a family dinner to teach them what an AUTHENTIC Malaysian cuisine is like It was amazing and my kids said it tasted like WAP What does that mean? I'm guessing it means it tasted great The service was good and the staff was really nice and I think they're authentic too The ambiance reminded me of a Malaysian mermaid Me and my kids are from Louisiana and it was our first time trying AUTHENTIC food from other places My son Jonathan said that he would come back So if you're from the country side this restaurant is for you My 24 month old also likes the soup

F1. Mamak Curry Laksa
Jessica Z.

Have tried different Malaysian restaurants throughout Houston and decided to give Mamak a try while in the area. Service was quick and the staff were attentive in taking our orders and food came out quick. We ordered the Mamak curry laksa, beef rendang roti and sizzling tofu which all had a great flavor profile. The roti is always a fan favorite with three different types of dips, my favorite being the beef rendang which had a nice salty spicy kick. The noodles went well with the bean sprouts which added a nice crunch and the soup was creamy from the coconut milk paired well with fish balls, eggplant and tofu. The sizzling tofu had a proportion of tofu which melts in the mouth to the sauce that included shrimp and mushrooms. This went super well with the white rice. Overall, a great dining experience and fulfilled our craving. Will be back to try their other dishes!

Food - 4/5 Service - 4/5…read moreAmbiance - 4/5 Overall - 4/5 Within this busy shopping center lies this small Malaysian restaurant. Parking here will forever and always be terrible, but besides that, this place was almost entirely empty, especially for a weekend lunch (we did come almost right at opening time, but there were only like a few other customers by the time we finished). I think the main issue with this restaurant is the menu. With a wide variety of options with different cuisines, I felt that the quality of dishes was lower than I wanted. That aside, I absolutely loved the roti canai, with it being almost perfectly crispy, buttery, and tasty. The fried rice was really flavorful with the salted fish, almost verging on too strong. The curry noodle soup we got was not very strong and was a little bit disappointing. The beef tripe was so incredibly tasty, though the spice was a little bit much for my family. The beef dry hot pot was nice, though I only really liked the beef and not much else on it (some of it was bitter, other parts were just too salty). I don't think this place is terrible. We did come as one of, if not the first, customers in the restaurant, so everything was made fresh and was hot as we ate it. I just think was so much competition surrounding it in this busy shopping center, I don't think it accomplishes enough to be a go-to place for my family.

We saw this place on social media and decided to visit for Mother's Day…read more First things first - parking lot was insane. So come early or you might circle the lot for awhile. We were seated immediately but our server was giving us attitude the entire time. He would constantly check on the other tables but never us. We had to flag down the other server whenever we needed something. Food wise, everything was just okay. The best thing was probably the roti canai and the stir fried flat noodles with beef. The green beans were flavorless, the sizzling pepper chicken was not spicy (we requested spicy) and no pepper, and the beef rendang was really oily.

BF hosted a major get-together for friends and chose this gem as the gathering spot. No regrets all…read morearound--everyone thought it was a great place to eat, catch up, and spend the afternoon. Malaysian Grilled Chicken Satay - Super tender with a sweet peanut sauce that really accentuated the flavors. Probably my favorite appetizer so far--had to be extra careful around my BF after this! Definitely my brother's personal favorite; I'm sure he ate 3 of them! Hainanese Chicken & Rice - Very tender and chewy with a mild flavor. The ginger-and-scallion sauce at the bottom was very refreshing, and the aromatic rice was among the most delicious I've had! I saw that the grains looked similar to Vietnamese broken rice because they weren't fully rounded. For some reason, this made the texture so much more appealing to me. Curry Chicken Puff - Love the curry flavor of this and the delicacy of the puff pastry. The shell isn't too thick, and the vegetables are very well infused with the curry, making them strong contributors to the overall flavor. Despite it being a pastry, I didn't feel overwhelmed by the carbs--indicating that the breading-to-stuffing ratio of this sat at the perfect pinnacle. Malaysian Roti Canai - One of my absolute favorite dishes here. I would come to this place just for this--the whole table compared the combo to crack. No joke. The chicken and potatoes are some of the most tender pieces in this dish, and you could slurp the broth like it's its own dish. I watched this go way too fast, and even two orders per table were not enough to satisfy the crowd. Malaysian Roti Canai (w. Egg) - Love the original much more, but this was still very delicious. They made the egg very thin, so it didn't overwhelm the roti. The egg took away from my favorite roti taste, but it was so well seasoned I wasn't even that angry about it. Malaysian Char Kuey Teow (Migoreng) - OOH. This has a unique flavor--much more savory than packaged ramen. The texture of the noodles is very inviting. It's much less salty compared to the pre-packaged Migoreng. The flavor was more umami. Rich, deep, and just the perfect amount to coat the noodles. Stir-Fried Mixed Vegetable (w. Tofu) - This is a very saucy vegetable dish, but I didn't mind it at all. I loved it, though it was the last dish I had and I was definitely stuffed by then. The sauce reminds me of a thinner Migoreng sauce--more viscous than a loose sauce, but not as thick as Migoreng. Very good, but my taste buds were definitely overwhelmed at this point. Malaysian Milk Tea - Not as sweet as I expected. I was told the tea leaves were imported from Malaysia, and our table ended up ordering six of them. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is something I'm very fond of, and the tea flavor is exceptionally rich. The milk infusion in this is peak. Malaysian Lime "Calamansi" & Plum Drink - Tasted like a lime-tamarind drink to my BF, while my brother and I thought it tasted like Vietnamese chanh muối. Overall, Uncle Chin's lived up to the hype, just as I knew it would from the day my BF brought home leftover roti from his very first visit. The buzz of having 16 people definitely distracted me from paying close attention to every dish--I even missed taking a few photos--but one thing remained true: everyone was talking about the food. Every time a new dish came out, the table erupted with commentary about its flavor, uniqueness, and overall impact. Some dishes stole the show more than others (my lovely roti, hello), but every single one earned its place on the menu. Very sad we didn't get to see Uncle Chin sing, but with 16 people to serve during the lunch rush, I'm sure he was pretty overwhelmed.

My goodness, what a hidden gem! From the outside, Uncle Chin's Kitchen looks like a generic…read moreneighborhood Asian restaurants you could easy pass by and miss, but the food tasted anything but generic! I literally had the best roti conai, roti telur, curry puffs, and stir fried vegetable dishes I've ever had in my life, and I've had quite a few! Definitely a big thanks to my fellow Yelper David for organizing this for a handful of us for a friendly gathering, where we shared a few dishes family style. Personally, I much prefer trying a little bit of a few things than one big dish that I can't even finish alone! I'll need to swing by sometime when I want to grab lunch or dinner since it's fairly close to me as well. I had people tell me not to move to Texas because I'll miss Asian food, but clearly Houston is another beast that does a lot of things right in that aspect.

The restaurant interior reminds me of the colorful 3D interactive street murals known to attract tourists to Malaysia, which is in theme with the Malaysian cuisine served. Unfortunately, when I arrived on Saturday, they were already sold out of the classic Singapore Chili Crab that was highly rated in other reviews. Instead, I ordered a few other unique Malaysian dishes that is specially available at Sambal Chef: Roti Canai with Beef Rendang, Malaysian Style Sizzling Tofu (with in-house made fresh tofu), Salted Egg Fried Chicken Wings, Cheo Koay Teow (Malaysian seafood flat noodles). You can literally taste the freshness in every bite, and the flavors are unbeatable! Despite tending to a busy restaurant, the servers were responsive and made friendly conversation. The restaurant is spacious, and the food was served quickly. I also noticed something that I truly admired: the eating plates are served hot to the table, which means they were freshly sanitized at high temperatures and provided extra assurance on the cleanliness of dining at the restaurant. I am already counting down to the day when they find a new location and reopen the restaurant!

The food here rarely misses. Can't wait to dine at Sambal Chef again in the future.

Overall, great food and a good experience, but they definitely need more staff if it's consistently this busy.
