    Ayam Gepuk

    The best Malaysian food in San Jose. You can't get more real than this unless you buy a plane ticket and fly there. One taste of their Nasi Ulam and I am back in my hometown of Penang. You can taste the care that goes into the preparation of the food. When you drink the laksa broth, you will know what I mean. The Chef/Owners Jai and Vicky Kandayah use authentic ingredients like fresh daun kadok for their otak-otak even though that's hard to source here. So far I've tried their Assam Laksa, Crab Laksa, Nasi Ulam, Seafood Yong Tau Foo, Otak-otak, Hainanese Chicken Chop with black pepper sauce, Char Koay Teow, Hokkien Mee, Popiah and Ayam Gepuk. All delicious! The Ayam Gepuk is super spicy if you like the heat. Not all the items are on their regular menu so you have to check their Facebook page to see what special dishes they feature on occasions like Malaysia's Independence Day or Singapore's National Day. I usually buy back to eat at home as the San Jose Downtown Food Hall where they are located inside, is pretty noisy. Other than that, this is THE place for epic Malaysian food in the Bay Area. Run here! Don't miss it. If only my wallet was as big as my stomach, I'd be here every week.

    I'm liking it so far. Inside the food hall building, you will find a delicious and authentic tiny spot, MYSelera Bistro. Not fancy here, but great for casual comfort foods and small eats. It's general southeast Asian Malaysian style. Order at kiosk and pick up at the counter. You can choose from small chicken snacks, noodles, rice plates, etc. Simple menu. Not a long menu. General market prices. Food portions aren't huge either, but delicious and satisfying for a quick stop inside. Staffs are honest and good people. I had the $18 Penang Char Koay Teo and it had good spicy prawns in it. Tasted authentic and looks authentic. It didn't take long to get ready. I wish the portions were much bigger though. Curry and naan or chicken wings also look tempting. You can always go with the rice plate options or chicken drumstick meal. Good. This tiny place is worth checking out for simple foods.

    Nasi Lemak with Chili Chicken Sambal
    Nina W.

    I found this Malaysian restaurant from Yelp and thought to give it a try. It's located inside SJ downtown food hall. The owner/chef looked familiar because I've seen him before. He was the owner/chef of Curry Leaves Bistro in Pleasanton previously. That restaurant has closed and he moved here now. He told me to order directly from their kiosk machine next time since the general kiosk overcharged $2-$3 per items because it's owned by DoorDash. I wished I knew it before. I ordered chicken sambal nasi lemak with extra sambal bilis (anchovies) sauce and mamak mie goreng. Nasi lemak was good (8/10) and paid $16.95 (overcharged $3 by using front kiosk), $3 for extra sambal which the picture in the kiosk was deceiving. It came in a tiny little sauce container not as advertised and pictured. Paid $17.95 for stir fry mie goreng (4/10) - the noodles were too soggy and wet. It was not "goreng". Goreng means stir fry and should be dry. Not really impressed with the quality of the food. Well, I tried and for sure won't get the mie goreng again.

    Heard about MySelera cos of their famous Curry Leaves Bistro location in Pleasanton. Nice to have the same great option in the South Bay. It's in a foodhall right downtown. Parking might seem a little tricky depending on the time but I found street meter parking right out front with no issue. The setting is casual and pretty nice, with other foodhall options also available (but I didn't try). A few large tables and also easy to grab and go. Love love love the nasi lemak with sambal! Really brings me home to Malaysian breakfast! Great flavors and large portions. Also love the many vegetarian-friendly options! Gonna have to come back and try the other stuff on the menu, will update the review more then.

    Nasi Lemak with Chili Chicken Sambal again no egg

    My wife says the nasi lemak spiced fried chicken is just as good as "back home". I don't know about that as I don't recall her being Malaysian. She did live in Singapore so that's close enough I suppose. Her opinion (I only had a taste): + Nasi lemak fried chicken is seasoned nicely with a light crisp. The sambal is a great dipping sauce for the chicken. It's served with coconut rice and side of fried anchovies. Only problem with meal is the missing half egg. (4 stars) + Nasi lemak chili chicken is boneless pieces of chicken covered in chili sauce. Rest is the same as above. (3.5 stars) - Restaurant is a kiosk in a food hall which can get a little dirty around the tables (2 stars) - Come to think of it the missing egg may be an add-on but the photo of the rice items make it look like it's part of the meal. Food is adequate and everything here is self served. Wifey says she'll be back. I don't mind tagging along but not sure if I'd come here on my own.

    Mamak Mee Goreng (Stir Fried Noodle) - 3/5
    Theo T.

    I'm Indonesian so always looking for similar cuisines in the area. Was excited to try MYSelera. MYSelera is located in a food hall grouped with many other restaurants. Parking is typical downtown San Jose: street parking or structure nearby. When you enter (at least on a Saturday) you are greeted by... nothing? The food hall was practically empty: only one employee at a different restaurant. No music, TV showing the Google docs app behind it. The counter for MYSelera was empty. Wasn't even sure it was open. Walked up to the kiosk and ordered the mie goreng and belacan chicken wings, waited 20 minutes (surprisingly long for no other customers), took a bite and... The mie goreng tastes almost like pad thai - very peanut-forward, not like any mie goreng I've ever had in Malaysia. The belacan chicken wings were freshly fried and very crispy -- but no taste of belacan at all; you could have told me these were just unseasoned fried wings and I would agree. 5/10 - unfortunately my search for Indonesian cuisine continues.

    Nasi Lemak, Malaysian Cha Siu Rice
    Nina C.

    As a Malaysian American, I am SO excited that some Malaysian goodness opened up right in Downtown San Jose. My parents and I visited their soft opening- when you walk in, make sure to order directly from the kiosk in the back! We were able to talk to the owners, who were very friendly and in known the Malaysian food scene in the Bay Area. We got the Nasi Lemak Fried Chicken, and the Malaysian style chasiu rice. We also tried three drink from their menu, ranging from Palm Sugar Milk drink, Grass Jelly Soymilk, and a Grass Jelly Longan. All were so good and aromatic! Eating in the DT Foodhall felt like eating in a Hawker Center, very lively, fighting for a place to sit :) will definitely be coming back tomorrow!! Soso lucky I get to have a taste some of my own culture so close by. I am definitely taking some lunch meetings and coffee chats more often!! Best wishes on the soft opening

    Authentic Malaysian food now available in San Jose. Same owner of Curry Leave Bistro from Pleasanton. The Nasi Lemak with fried chicken is legit. This is soft opening with limited menus.

    The Nasi Lemak here is legit. Probably the best I've had outside of Malaysia. Mamak spiced fried chicken was juicy and flavorful. The portion size was pretty good for the price as well. We also got an order of the boneless chicken with chicken rice, it was also pretty good but id stick to nasi lemak on future visits. Looking forward to the next trip to try the Chili chicken sambal! Only issue was they forgot the eggs on our Nasi Lemak and the water that was supposed to come with the chicken rice, probably need to check your bag while this place is still new.

    Nasi Lemak Mamak Spiced Fried Chicken

    Wanted to give the restaurant a second chance. So came back for lunch during weekday around 12 pm. Only ordered one Nasi Lemak Mamak Spiced Fried Chicken. Their two staff took almost 20 minutes to get it done although I was the only customer there. I'm Malaysian. The food here is not the Malaysian standard. Doubt I will give this restaurant a third chance. Disappointed as I was expecting this restaurant to be as good as Curry Leaves Bistro.

    Char kway teow!

    So happy we now have good Malaysian food in San Jose. Same owner as Curry Leaves Bistro in Pleasanton. Nasi lemak is amazing, the iftar special nasi minyak with chicken also so good. Today I lucked out with freshly made char kway teow! Excellent & so authentic!

    Came here for my birthday meal since I've been wanting to try it all year and here are my thoughts…read more FOOD: Dungeness Chili Crab (10000/10): This dish was a ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, one of the BEST food I've ever tasted. The crab was tender, coated in a rich, glossy chili sauce that perfectly balanced sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy flavors. It paired beautifully with a side of rice. I'm already drooling just thinking about it and would 100% order it again in a heartbeat! Char Kway Teow (10/10): Amazing stir fried noodles. The flat rice noodles had a smoky, slightly charred flavor and were tossed with savory Chinese sausage, tender shrimp, egg, bean sprouts, and garlic chives. The dish offered a satisfying blend of sweet, salty, and umami flavors. It was comforting, flavorful, and wonderfully satisfying without feeling too heavy or oily. Singaporean laksa (10/10): This dish was similar to a Vietnamese curry with a fragrant, coconut-rich broth that delivered a balance of savory, spicy, and subtly sweet flavors. The rendang chicken was super tender, the yellow noodles were soft and soaked in flavors. It was the kind of dish that made it hard to put the spoon down. SERVICE: Staff was super nice and accommodating. Even gave me a free side of rice and deserts to go since I really enjoyed their chili crab sauce. AMBIANCE: The place was very clean and feels very homy. They also offer free chicken soup for you to sip on while you wait for all the tasty foods to come. Overall, AMAZING experience and phenomenal food! Would come back every single day if I'd lived closer :(

The food was good, but portions were small unfortunately.... Flavors were a bit more muted than expected. Duck garlic noodles were the yummiest. We also got nasi lemak (not pictured) which had really good sambal on the side. Chicken satay was solid, but nothing special. Overall, I'm happy to see a Malaysian place on the Peninsula but it's definitely catering to the MP population (which is fine)! Just won't be my go-to when I'm craving Malaysian food flavors.

New location is much larger! Menu has gotten a bit easier to read. Decor and styling is a bit more modern, trendy, and bright. Nice to see that they have brunch sets that come at a slightly discounted price -- drink + main + appetizer. Did wish the portions were a bit larger however, but Menlo Park rent is expensive so maybe that's why? Quite busy on a Sunday morning, we had to join a waitlist and waited for ~10 mins. Seats are nice and cushioned. Convenient parking lot across the street. Char Kway Teow (4/5) -- revising my prior review, this was much better! I tasted a bit of the wok-he smokiness and it was sweet as well. My friend says he wished it was more smoky. Eggs + Kaya toast (3.5/5) -- pretty standard. I actually wanted to crack my own eggs, but that's just a me thing! Eggs were a little over cooked, but still delicious. Kaya toast could be a little crispier but the Kaya jam was very good. Hard to get this dish wrong! Nasi Lemak (3.5/5) -- Egg looked fried, but didn't really taste it. Wasn't bad but nothing really stood out as well. Coconut rice could have been maybe a little bit more fragrant but still good. Wished there was more beef rendang. Hokkien Mee (2/5) -- this one made me a little sad because this is one of my favorite dishes! Egg noodles didn't look the same, was much paler than expected. Didn't come with any sambal chili sauce at the side, so it didn't have much flavor as is. Came with shrimp and octopus. Calamari Juice (4/5) -- Not bad! Pretty good, but don't think I'll be craving this

The outdoor seating is just a few tables and chairs and the indoor seating definitely looks a bit cuter and more decorated but we were starving and happy to take the first table available. Service was super kind and even though we were the only party seated outdoors we never felt forgotten and our water stayed filled throughout the dinner. We got the Pok Pok Phu papaya salad which comes with little marinated crabs and was nice and refreshing and a just a hint of spice, the Tom yum rice which was my favorite and a standout dish - super flavorful, fragrant and generous amounts of seafood, the green curry with chicken which was a comforting classic, and the southern pad thai which was also solid and tasty. Everything was flavorful, generous in portion size and very enjoyable - we did ask for mild spice and would probably go for medium next time since I did want to enjoy some more heat with the dishes!

We also ordered the fish amok, cha eark, and kuy tiew cha and enjoyed all three dishes. The fish amok especially stood out since it came wrapped in a banana leaf, and you could taste that subtle aroma infused into the fish.

I get the jajangmyeon ($10.95 for a small) every time, mostly because the noodle texture is TOP TIER.

There are also plenty of ingredients mixed into the sauce, although I find it a little salty sometimes. The tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork, $15.95) is super crispy, and I really liked the tangy sauce with it. I personally prefer dipping the pieces in the sauce so they stay crispy, but you can also pour the sauce over if that's your preference! The restaurant can get pretty busy on weekend evenings, with waits usually around 10-30 minutes. There's plaza parking available nearby.

The noodles for both dishes have a pleasantly chewy bounce to them. They are thick, satisfying, and cooked perfectly right. The Jajangmyeon's black bean sauce was savory with a touch of sweetness and contains peas, onions, and pork. The Jjamppong has a spicy seafood broth with squid, mussels, pork, and veggies. Every meal comes with pickled yellow radish on the side to help cut through the richness of the meal. Service is not what you come here for. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and a part of that was because they skipped our name on the waitlist. They claimed they called it, but we were standing less than 15 feet away from the front door and never heard a thing. The music the restaurant was playing outside didn't help. Once sat inside, it is a turn-and-burn operation. Food is ordered, dropped off, payment is collected, and nothing more. Again, don't go here for the service, go for the noodles. The atmosphere is casual and bit cramped. It has a cafeteria-like feel inside and can get a little noisy. Parking can be tricky especially when busy since they share a small parking lot with neighboring businesses. Bottomline, Paik's Noodle is good for a quick and solid bite but that's about it.
