Layang Layang is my favorite spot for Singaporean/Malaysian food…read more I used to be a frequenter at their Cupertino location. Same delicious food at the Milpitas location. I prayed for years that they'd reopen in Cupertino again. The Bay Area needs more Singaporean/Malaysia food!! Some of the must try dishes here are: * Mee goreng: spicy street noodles * Kari Mee: noodles in a spicy coconut curry broth with chunks of chicken and potato * Chicken Satay: Grilled chicken skewers served with a peanut sauce * Roti Canai: crispy flatbread served with a curry sauce * Mee Siam: Stir fried rice noodles * Nasi Goreng: Malaysian fried rice * Ice Kachang: Shaved ice topped with rose syrup, and condensed milk. Under the glorious ice, you'll find red bean, grass jelly, corn, peanuts & agar agar making for an unexpectedly delicious dessert (This was my favorite dessert growing up)

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 :(

Mohinga fish soup: the national dish of Myanmar. The base is fish and there are big chunks of soft onions and small chunks of fish inside. It tastes like crab soup with a subtle spice aftertaste and a very, small fermented taste. Tea leaf salad: The small green Thai chilis are SO hot and made me cough instantly. A decent tea leaf salad with nice crunchy bits through you can find it better at other places. Indian mee goreng: Too sweet for our taste and less soy sauce than we like. It tasted like the primary sauce ingredient was ketchup. Plenty of large shrimps and nice pieces of potato and bell peppers. Hainam chicken combo: yellow color chicken and rice. The sauces this came with were great. The bones were a bit sloppily cut but it still tasted good. Roti pratha: This used to be my lunch often in Singapore, so nostalgic! Roti with coconut curry for dipping. Came super super hot and fresh.

I ordered my curry hot and was pleasantly surprised that it actually had a good kick and made me sweat. Most places I go to don't ever make it spicy enough. The curry was really flavorful and the portion size could easily feed two! Like massive. Definitely not enough rice compared to curry. The thai tea was really refreshing and the perfect drink for my meal. Appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. There was one server holding it down when I came during Monday around noon. There was about 5 parties including myself and she was very efficient. I was able to dine in and get out of there within 30 minutes. The place is very casual.

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.

Somewhat experienced with Singaporean food because of family, so I do have higher/different…read moreexpectations. Generally good but it's different than what I expected. 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! Overall I can see why Must be Thai is a popular favorite for Thai food and I'll definitely be back more often :)

We came on a Sunday and there was only one other party dining there, which honestly made us feel a little bad because you can tell they're probably struggling to get much foot traffic. The lady working there was very friendly and service was good whenever she was able to get to us. You could definitely feel that it's a small local spot doing its best. Food-wise, everything we ordered was solid. We got both the chicken and beef skewers -- both had great flavor with a nice grilled char that really came through. 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. Overall, I still prefer Chez Sovan personally, but this spot is closer to home and reasonably price. I would definitely come back to be able to support a local business!

They used not super unripe papayas that some places use and are way too hard to eat, and you can tell they actually pounded the papaya in the mortar and pestle, because the papaya was tender and absorbed all of the yummy sauce The kuy tiew cha is like pad Thai but has a more tomato-y flavor than tamarind The stuffed chicken wings had a nice grilled char and lemon grass flavor

I've been to Paik's Noodle several times and have also tried locations in other cities! I forgot…read morewho originally recommended this place to me, but I'm glad they did Their prices are super good and their food is consistently good. I get the jajangmyeon ($10.95 for a small) every time, mostly because the noodle texture is TOP TIER. The noodles are thick, chewy, and springy, and they pair really well with the jajang (black bean) sauce. 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. Would definitely recommend if you like or want to try jajangmyeon!

Paik's Noodle has multiple locations around the Bay Area and it's about the same experience at…read moreevery location I've visited. I ordered Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong. 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.
