I have passed by this Malaysian spot many times and finally gave it a try. I'm glad I've gave it a try and then found out about their lunch special. The food was pretty good and tasty. I had the Indian Mee Goreng and it was very tasty and drier than other places I tried which is good. The Hainanese chicken was tasty too. As some places take the bones off this one was included. The roti canai was the least favorite as it wasn't the very thin ones that I'm used to and seem more like the ones from supermarkets. The Nasi Lemark has so much texture and combination and this is a dish that can never go wrong. Lastly, the Hakka noodles with soup is a dish my dad enjoyed but I personally wouldn't get it. The crispy fishies add really nice flavors though. The service was attentive and they give you space and let you enjoy your food until you're ready. The interior is pretty big and can hold big and small groups. read more

You can't beat the price of the weekday lunch special. Got the hainan chicken and the nasi lemak. Both were good. Maybe because we just had half a banh mi per person, so we were stuffed for hours. read more

The chicken of the roti canai was so soft. The roti was nice and crispy. My favorite was the saucy captain noodles! Also very soft and flavorful. Couldn't finish the plate since the portion was large. Fish curry laksa was good, not very spicy so it's good for soup. Service was fast and the workers were very polite, attentive, and they speak different languages/dialects. Nicely decorated with dim lighting which was relaxing. read more

The restaurant truly delivers quality. The employees show sincere interest in guests. The plates look professional though taste too salty. I'm spreading the word to my family about this place that offers both good food and good service. The setting suits friend groups wanting good food. read more

I've been going to New Belacan for so long. I want to say over 8 years for sure. This place is cute and the owners are nice. I usually order: Roti with curry Roti with egg Capitan noodles Flat noodles with the seafood and pork gravy, I forgot the name right now Pad thai Satay chicken and beef with this yummy peanut sauce Fried rice with chicken and salted fish The service is fast and portions are decent sized. I love the wok hay on the fried noodles. It's always been the same! Also the takeout is good too. read more

Came here for lunch to order something quick and easy. With it being in Brooklyn, parking is semi difficult to find. Standard Asian restaurant custom with it being in 8th Avenue of Brooklyn - brought over hot tea for the table which was enjoyable. They do speak English as well as Chinese. It was not crowded when I went and was able to sit anywhere. We ordered the Needle Noodles [stir fried noodle with minced pork]. Although it only has pork in the description, it did come with chicken and shrimp too. Lots of bean sprouts and leeks as well. We also ordered the Roti Telur. It didn't have a description on the menu but it's like an Indian pancake with a curry dipping sauce. The curry was alright, not a ton of flavor but still good for dipping. The only thing I didn't really enjoy was that the pancake had raw red onions in it (cut up). It was deliciously crispy though. We split the meal and was very affordable. Bill came out to $20. It's a quick lunch and it was good as well for the price we paid! Very friendly staff as well. read more

The best malaysian style curry chicken! Flavor is fantastic and generous portions. Highly recommended!

This is a decent Malaysian restaurant. The service was a bit slow while there wasn't much traffic that day. I ordered a Captain Noodle dish and the food was not bad. I definitely recommend coming here to eat the price and portions are good. read more

Ordered lunch from here a few days ago and waited inside while they prepared my food. The crisp, flaky Roti Canai came with a side of their chicken curry which was SO finger lickin good! My main was Laksa soup with Chicken a flavorful coconut curry based rich broth with noodles and bean sprouts. The curry was a bit milder than expected and I would definitely order it spicy next time. To wash it all down I got some tea with milk which was sweet and perfect. Definitely coming back to try some more of the delicacies they have to offer ! read more

Never again return to this restaurant! read more

When I entered, there were several parties inside. I ordered the black bean sauce yong tau foo as the lobak was sold out. While waiting, there was a TV showing ABC 7 news. A worker was making satay skewers. Several parties were about to leave. There were several calls incoming to order delivery or takeout. My order took some time to prepare as it needed to be fried. The ingredients are typical at other restaurants I have ordered from. read more

I was craving some Malaysian food and saw this restaurant so decided to take some takeout to try. I got two orders of the roti canai, haianese chicken with rice, and curry beef stew with rice. In total it was less than $30 so not bad. When I brought it home, the roti canai was hard and chewy. The curry they gave was a large chunk of oil. I tried to stir it but the oil wasn't leaving. The curry beef stew was not bad but the beef pieces weren't tender. The haianese chicken I was disappointed in because it was small pieces of chicken and the rice was meh. The chicken pieces were more bone than meat. read more

New Belacan Restaurant - Seafood Over Rice - Malaysian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Belachan Grill offered a wide variety of dishes, each one more enticing than the last. I enjoyed the Nasi Lemak, a fragrant rice dish served with spicy sambal, beef rendang and a boiled egg. It was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. I also tried the Roti Canai, a flaky flatbread served with a side of flavorful curry sauce. The texture of the bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My other favorites include Hokkien Mee & Seafood Hotpot Curry & Teh Tarik. Absolutely devine! The owners are exceptional. They checked in to make sure everything was to our liking. They were so friendly and welcoming, making us feel like we were dining with friends rather than in a restaurant. 5 stars to Belachan Grill and to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Malaysian cuisine, this is it. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the owners were incredibly friendly and hospitable. read more

I went her with a friend of mine whose local since I love the Chinatown in sunset park we went under her recommendation to this Malaysian spot. This place is really authentic also good food takeout or delivery with a little different spins on things like the chicken satay peanut sauce which was thicker and better tasting in my opinion. The chicken was like a Chinese bbq stand style. Also the chicken roti was delicious so I know this place is legit. The nesa lemak is different fully sushi rice and the sardines where in a different sauce as was the pickled veggies but still delicious. And the #4 Kure teanoodles were the best part. read more

My family is from Burma and very partial to Southeast Asian cuisine. The pungent, garlicky, spicy flavors of Malaysian food remind us of home in a city where Burmese food is rare, so we have Malaysian food often. I was absolutely ravenous when I ate here and still I found the food underwhelming and lacking in depth of flavor. The menu is a very pared down version of the fare you'd find at many other Malaysian restaurants. A lot of the menu consists of Chinese dishes. The roti canai, a classic dish, was really bad. The sauce is almost entirely oil, and the roti is paper thin and kind of stale. We ordered multiple stir-fried noodle dishes including the char kway teow, a classic Malaysian dish. While they each had the charred, "breath of the wok" flavor we seek, the noodles were incredibly underseasoned. The belacan they make in house is really tasty though and so I found myself pouring this all over the bland dishes we ordered here. The coconut rice had barely a hint of coconut in it. While the noodle dishes were bland, other dishes were overly salted. Service was friendly and prompt, and prices are low. I'd definitely go to other Malaysian restaurants over New Belacan. read more

Been here a couple times before and had no problem with the food. Food came out relatively fast: I ordered lumpia and roti for appetizers. I always love the roti for its crispiness. The lumpia was okay. I probably wouldn't order it again. Then I got the Indian mee goreng which basically tasted like chow mien. I also tried the sambal shrimp and pattaya chicken for the first times. I did enjoy the sambal shrimp-- it was very flavorful. Although the chicken was slightly dry, the flavor made up for it. For dessert I ordered shaved ice, trying it for the first time and it was pretty good. read more

Idk why this place gets such a bad rep, the food is good if you order authentic dishes. Came with a large group and ordered 15 things in total so I was able to try a lot of different things. Will note that if you speak Cantonese, its a lot easier to order food and the waiters will be able to recommend you good food Roti canai is always a must, it was good here. Roti telur is a roti canai with egg in it. I've had this at a different place and didn't like it so I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We ordered both chicken satay and beef satay. The chicken was a little on the dryer side but still good. Beef was better than the chicken. The egg and pork chow fun was super interesting. Our waitress asked if we wanted to try it yin tang style meaning there were 2 types of noodles. There was crispy mei fun on the bottom and chow fun on top. A must try The veggies were great, they have a few different ways to cook it but ask for Malaysian style since its the best. Sizzling beef was pepper beef served on a cast iron plate. Super flavorful and good portion size The pan fried rice cake is different than regular rice cakes at Asian restaurants. Instead of the flat round rice cakes, these resemble a square and are seared on all sides. The outside is crispy and inside is soft. The sting ray was very interesting. The meat comes in strands. Didnt taste super great but was a fun thing to try. read more

Horrible restaurant. It used to be good but now it's just junk. They changed the way they make the Roti Canai. I was shocked when it was brought out. It looked like a piece of corn tortilla. The sauce was cold and bland. The sizzling tofu was awful. It was not even sizzling. The dish was not hot and tasteless. I ordered pan fried noodle. It was not even pan fried!!!! It was just plain wonton noodles over bland brown sauce with beef. I was what the hell is wrong with this place now? Of course questioned the waitress about these dishes. They always come up with BS excuses. I would love to see Gordon Ramsey do an episode of Kitchen Nightmares of this place. He would say, SHUT IT DOWN!!!! read more

Roti with curry was not as bad as some of the other reviews, but the Bah Kut Teh (herbal soup) had huge pieces of fatty pork belly and not much herbal flavor to it. Pineapple fried rice was delicious but the chicken and shrimp in taro nest was very soggy. Me friend and I hoped for authentic Malaysian food but was disappointed. The serve was very bad. One of the waitress was very rude and was not helpful at all. We wanted to keep one of the menu but she didn't even ask and just took them away. read more

This spot is my boyfriend's favorite for Malaysian food. It is operated by an older asian couple and everytime we go, they are always so friendly! We both ordered the prawn mee to go and they gave a good amount of food. The broth was light and flavorful, with a slight kick of heat and the noodles were fresh. All their dishes are great! I've had their Hainan chicken, their shrimp with okra and char kurey teow! I would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for good Malaysian food. As an FYI, it is take-out only and they do accept card! read more

It's just okay Malaysian food. I've had better in Chinatown. I got the two dishes to share with my mom. The lunch special is cheaper than other dishes and less amount but it's good for one. They uses baby shrimps btw. Wanted to order the Hainanese chicken lunch special but they don't serve the chicken until 1 pm. (Reason is unknown) The wet looking egg drop noodles was okay too. Got to break apart the noodles that are clumped together in the egg stew so there is flavor when you slurp them up. I got it with seafood; there's choices of other meats too. Didn't finish it all so I had the leftovers for take out. Overall, it was decent place to go stop by for lunch but don't see myself going back. read more
