    Penang bdde char kway teow, Fried rice
    Jenny N.

    Good!! I like this place! Similar to one of my favorite Malaysian restaurants that doesn't exist anymore, so this was a nice find. It's simple, but i love the roti with the various curries. The salted egg fish (?) was a family favorite, but i wasn't a fan of the salted egg texture on the outside of the fish even though it did taste good. The sizzling tofu was another family favorite. I thought the fried rice was okay, flavor was kind of bland and it wasn't anything special. My family definitely would come back though. Service was pretty good too

    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
    Trish N.

    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.

    Wat Tan Hor

    Char Koay Teow and Wat Tan Hor ( Cantonese Fried Noodles) is really fantastic, the wok hey is incredible. Chicken Satay is great. Will be going back to dine more.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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!

First of all, the waitress that took our order had us tell her what the menu item number was for each of our orders. Which was fine, except she didn't seem to understand one of the numbers. Her English seemed limited - not the end of the world. When I physically looked at the tablet, I corrected what almost became a mistake, and then she proceeded to walk off without taking our menus. All the prices have increased since the last time I came, which is not abnormal, but something to keep in mind. The food itself was fine. We ordered curry chicken laksa, a mee goreng, and a roti canai. The laksa was good, but my colleague mentioned her mee goreng had very little protein in it. So when it came time to pay, our waitress just brought the tablet and asked if we were paying together or separate. I proceeded to take out my credit card, and given this is yet another Chowbus establishment, the POS system started gratuity at 18%. There was nothing about our service that garnered 18%. I don't even recall our waters getting refilled. I didn't want to bother pressing the custom button to have to do mental math while the server waited so I begrudgingly selected the 18%. And I already know Chowbus calculates tip AFTER tax, which is another annoyance. Here's the kicker. After I received my receipt via text, I then realized there was a 3% credit card fee. At no point did our server mention this. And as I was going over the receipt, I also found out that the credit card fee was calculated based on the subtotal, tip and tax. This setup felt very predatory and not transparent. Their math and the lack of effective communication has ensured I will not be returning. A little honesty would go a long way.

    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.

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.

It is anything but in point of fact, it is in my estimation, a unique culinary experience. I don't write from the perspective of comparing this food to other Malaysian dishes that I've had in point of fact to the best of my recollection I don't think that I've ever had Malaysian cuisine. But if this restaurant is an example, I have missed a great deal. The food is very unique the servings are very gracious charitable. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the distinction of this particular cuisine and given the portions and quality of food that is served. The service is quite simple and the restaurant is actually quite small. However, I must tell you from A service perspective. It's truthfully amazing because the takeout business is extremely active. Not to mention the fact that the chef walks out and speaks to people will share anything that you want to know about Malaysian food and obviously from the quality of the food that I ate not only is his explanation thorough but my guess is his skills are incredible. As I said it is very small so it's difficult to Alpine about the ambience other than it was quite clean and given the number of whom I suspect were Malaysian people it's obviously quite popular within that community. So I take that to be a sign that this food is quite native in nature. I had a pork meal, which is only on Sundays. I spoke to the chef about it, and he explained that the preparation started one day in advance of actually serving the meal, so I understand why it is only served once a week. Although I must tell you because I lack familiarity it seemed to me that I would be hours and hours trying to replicate any of the dishes. All I can tell you is this if you are in an exploratory mood for a cuisine and have had or have not had Malaysian before I suspect this is a place to go. Quite informal, extremely fair pricing very generous portions great service very pleasant people and frankly it's a a family affair of what you will see many when you go. Quite a lovely experience.

Their decor was also on point and the little murals were such a nice touch. While I think I enjoyed the food more at their previous location, they managed to expand on their variety to offer vastly more dishes. They were consistent and the food was spicy when warranted. Char kway teow was always a hit and their beef rendang was fabulous. I think the satay was a bit overpriced, but it was ordered every time, along with the roti canai. I had read that there was a rental dispute, when it came to the building's owner. While I do hope they emerge somewhere in the city, I'm not all that confident that it will happen.
