There is a good Malaysian food spot in Richmond but I wanted to give this mom and pop spot a try to give an opportunity for new places. However, I was a bit disappointed but not too much as prices were decent depending on what you get. We got the chicken laksa, Nasi goreng, Mongolian chicken, and kuih lapis. Chicken laksa is the ideal order as the soup is decent and the pricing is fair. It is not the best as the soup didn't carry much flavor and the noodles were a bit on the softer side. It was filling however. Nasi goreng is solid. The vegetables felt frozen reheated and wilted, but at least the cucumbers were fresh. The amount of shrimp, squid, and fish cakes was dismal. Flavor profile is good. The Mongolian chicken is okay. It's not fried as the batter is quite soft. It is saucy which my friends were craving. I enjoyed the flavor profile of this one though. The dessert is good. Kuih Lapis is a colorful dessert so it appealed to me in both taste and presentation. One red flag I noticed is that I heard beep after beep of microwave sounds. It's as if all the dishes they prepared well in advance and just reheat for us, plus they walled off the kitchen and the back completely, giving the impression that they want to hide something. Most renowned places won't hide the back like that, as you can at least take a peek of what's cooking behind the scenes in most places. Service is good as they refill complimentary tea throughout our dining experience. Pay at the front for the bill. read more

The service was slow though food was tasty but small portions with the noodles. Didn't notice a restroom. This was a bit disappointing. Only six tables in the small restaurant read more

It's a cozy little restaurant. We went for a walk at Steveston during lunch time and first I was hesitate to go in because there was only 1 table of customer but after I check out their review and want to give it a try and no disappointment!! It tastes authentic. And as soon as we sat down, half an hr later the restaurant was full! I really enjoyed the laksa at Nyonya House! The soup is rich and creamy with a wonderful coconut aroma. This coconut soup tastes like something authentic that they made. Not just add coconut milk. I asked the staff there and she said they cook the coconut soup in house! The noodles are 2 type mixed with egg noodles and vermicelli. There are even dry shrimp on the tofu puff to make it more authentic !! We also ordered the chicken Satay which is also juicy and tender. The Hainaese chicken is deboned and the flavor is delightful. Their menu also has many Malaysian desserts. I think next time I have to go back to try the dessert. read more

Great food. Friendly and efficient service. Small dining area that's great for small groups. Chill vibe. Family run business. We ordered many dishes and unfortunately forgot to take picture of everything but nothing was disappointing. Everything was delicious! Multiple paid parking lots nearby. read more

Nyonya House - Malaysian Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Lovely restaurant with very lovely staff. Small restaurant but we managed to get a seat before it got too busy. Beware, parking is limited and the parkade isn't cheap. $9 for 2 hrs. Now onto the food: Bak kut the - pork rib in herbal broth. Delicious! The broth is wonderfully herbal, lot of meat on the ribs. Maybe not for everyone, but definitely for me. Absolutely love the flavour of the broth. Chicken satay - very good. Unfortunately they were out of beef. The flavors especially the sauce is super tasty. Looking forward to coming back and trying the beef. Lamb Rendang - love the lamb. It was very tender and the very flavorful. A bit of a kick, but it was the perfect amount of spice . Rainbow ice kachang - very interesting. Would be perfect on a sunny hot day. The floral syrup on the top I'm usually not a fan of but it's light and the flavours of the rest of the shaved ice is very good. Would come back and try the other dishes. read more

Found this little mom-pop family run gem about a year ago. It's not a big restaurant, seats maybe 24. Generally, only 2 people working: mom out front and pops doing the cooking. Initially it was good, but has gotten great in the last couple months. For starters, we usually order one of either the Shrimp roll, Tofu Goreng, Salad Roll, or Roti Canal. Of those choices, I'd say the Roti is probably the weakest but still tasty. Just prefer the Shrimp roll or Tofu Goreng. For mains, usually order the seafood laksa which has a really good helping of shrimp & squid along with standard egg, fish cakes, etc. My wife usually orders the Hainanese chicken rice and has never been disappointed. Free street parking available if you're willing to walk a block or two. We now end up going at least once a week! read more

I found this no frills restaurant while we were on our way to another restaurant in the area. The restaurant is small and only have 1 staff when we came in for lunch on a Monday. We ordered the fried tofu appetizer which came with fresh veggies. Flavor was great. We ordered the chicken curry and the hor fun noodles. Curry was ok and I wouldn't recommend the hor fun as it was pretty bland. The chicken rice was flavor full. read more

There are ice kacang and Chendol here! Plus home made sambal and kaya for sale. A great addition to the food scene in Steveston. This place has better food than the other Malaysian restaurant in the area. A smaller menu but has some of the favorites. Even though it's called Nyonya, the dishes are not really Peranakan here. The dishes are more of the noodle soup (curry Mee, prawn Mee and Assam laksa) and bak Kut teh. The rice dishes are Hainanese chicken rice and Nasi lemak with rendang (beef and lamb) or curry (chicken or pork ribs). And you can't leave out the roti and satay. I like you can get food not commonly available like the shrimp roll (hae chor, a teochew dish) and fruit rojak. We had the chicken curry Mee, prawn Mee soup (penang style with a bit of spice in the soup), cassava cake and wanton Mee with char siu. Everything was good though I'm not sure if the wontons are house made. It's all shrimp and tasted like CP frozen wontons. I notice they don't have dishes which require wok hei cooking so none of the char kway teow, nasi or Mee goreng or hor fun dishes are on the menu. The only downside is the limited tables (4-5) for 4 people and the long wait for food and any extras. It's still only a mom and pop operation with the husband cooking and wife running the front of house. Bring lots of patience and don't be hungry when coming here. P.S. I appreciate they include the pickled green chili for the wonton Mee which is common in Malaysia. And they didn't charge me for cut red chili in soy sauce which is also a common condiment for any dishes in Malaysia. It just took a long time to arrive. read more

Authentic KL flavor. Owner so nice. Portion adequate. Nyonya cake has nice coconut sticky rice flavor and texture.

I am from Singapore so I know good Malaysian food when I taste it. First of all, adorable girl greets you though she has a "on strike" poster on her table . Her parents are the chefs and wait staff - truly a family small business! I was impressed by the amount of items on the menu. Everything from char hor fan, Chendol, cassava dessert, bak ku teh, lamb rendung ... along with expected staples like laksa and hainanese chicken rice. We ordered lamb rendung and chicken rice. I liked both and found it pretty authentic, even though we asked for mild spice. The lamb was fresh and in general they were very generous on coconut. I saw someone order chendol and it looked amazing. I am excited to go back to the other dishes. I am quite sad it's so far in steveston but the chef definitely has talent. Go try it! read more

Got takeout today. Service was great. Food was prepared fresh, nicely packaged for transport and most importantly, very tasty. Will definitely be back. read more

This small restaurant is located at the waterfront so parking may be a little bit of a challenge, depending on when you go. We got there a little after they opened so paid parking was still available. We liked all the dishes we ordered - seafood laska was my personal favorite as I love noodle soup. I like the fact that their seasoning is more subtle and not greasy like other restaurants. If you like strong and bold seasoning this may not be the place for you. If you're looking for comfort home cooking, give it a try. read more

Fantastic flavor, unique tastes, friendly and fast service. Great place if you're in the area!
