I came with my friend for lunch. We decided to share an appetizer and each get our own entree. When we initially placed the order, the server warn us that the portions are big. But we still decided to keep our orders the same because we came in hungry. We decided to share an appetizer of NYONYA LOBAK It's a good variety of different things on one plate. Pretty filling for an appetizer. I personally decided to get the CURRY MEE with YOUNG TAU FOO The curry soup is delicious on a cold winter day. It warms up the soul. I didn't feel that it was very spicy. I really enjoyed the fish cake. It has a bit of minced fish inside which is almost tasteless. It's really well stuffed inside. Overall: 1) Very fair pricing on food, but Cash only 2) Good portions, so don't make a mistake like me and over-order read more

Friendly servers, very attentive and accommodating - we had a nut allergy and pork aversion, and they helped us navigate these dietary restrictions. Food is a on point and delicious. We enjoyed everything we ordered- crispy garlic chicken, crispy seafood egg noodle (yee mee), chicken satay (peanut sauce on the side), kangkung belacan, roti canai. Reasonably priced and generous portions. read more

Return or not return? Maybe. Cash only was a turn off. Had to run around on a rainy night for an ATM which the older gentleman never bothered to say there's an ATM at the entrance. Massive portions, and don't come here for friendly service. Food so so though inexpensive by NYC standards. Beef Rendang meat not so tender and lacks richness though sauce was edible. Vegetable curry too thin and again not as flavorful as it needs to be. The #11 noodles was the best of the lot. Decent, but not great. Malaysian iced coffee was excellent but was filled to the rim with ice. Way too much food for two people. read more

The restaurant is large, the service is quick and attentive. The menu is extensive and very interesting, seems and tastes authentic. Nasi Lemak was the favorite, so much flavor! The sting ray was tender and the sauce was powerful and a little spicy. Would definitely return to try other dishes. read more

Nyonya was a place we came to as kids 10 years ago and I'm glad to return to the city and still see that it is going strong! The waiter was so helpful navigating the menu and ordering the correct curry. This restaurant has amazing heart and if you haven't tried it yet you definitely should! It is a nice spot that might be easy to overlook if you aren't looking for it. Best curry I have ever eaten. read more

Upon arrival and entering the restaurant we see numerous signs stating Cash ONLY. Thankfully because I'm used to bringing cash when I'm in Chinatown we are excited to be seated quickly since we are here right before the dinner crowd. The waitress immediately brought us water and gave us the menu. It took a few more minutes veggie they came to take our order. We decided on the roti, stir-fried seafood flat noodle with egg sauce, stir-fry in fried taro basket & Hainanise chicken. The roti came together with the stir-fri in taro basket. Highly recommend roti as it was thin, flaky & came with a nice curry dipping sauce. The taro basket was nicely grilled and filled with stir-fry of chicken, shrimp, cashews, snow peas, etc. Highly recommend both. We also ordered the stir-fried seafood flat noodle with egg sauce & Hainanise chicken. While both are delicious I probably would try other things on the menu. Overall the service is good and the food is craving worthy. read more

This place has been hyped up and decided to take the dive. It's cash only and there is an atm by the door. The roti canai was solid but not great which will be the theme here. 6/10 The haianese chicken which is cold was a solid 7/10 And the beef curry was not great at 5/10. Most food is microwaved since it came out so quick but very affordable under 20 per person with an app. read more

Neat malaysian restaurant near Chinatown serving malaysian staples at an affordable price point. Roti canai was good (a tad too crispy, but paired well with the curry). Wat Dan hor was also done well, good wok flavor on the hor fun noodles with plentiful of veggie and good sauce. Hokkien mien was just decent, didn't stand out too much. Huge portions on everything! Great service, and plenty of seating for small and large groups. read more

Nyonya - Malaysian Near Me - New York, New York

The ambiance of the restaurant is pretty basic but I wasn't expecting much to be honest. The size of the restaurant is good and it is very busy which is also good. The service was good and they have friendly staff. My fav 2 dishes were the Roti prata And Roti canai they are both good. I prefer the thicker one. The Fried crispy vegetarian duck is good but to me it didn't taste like duck and the texture is very saturated with the sauce. Both the Malesian tea and coconut Coconut drink were good Sesame chicken was a good sized portion along with the Vegetable dumplings. I was not a fan at all of the Ginger duck which is why my rating was a 4 because I have no idea what that was...def didn't taste or look like duck. Peanut pancake w ice cream and Profiteroles are good dessert choices. We ordered a lot lol read more

If you're in Chinatown and craving some incredible Malaysian food, Nyonya is a must-visit! This spot has been around for years and has even made it onto the Michelin Guide, so you know it's legit. Not only are the prices super affordable, but the food is packed with flavor and keeps me coming back every time. My go-to dishes? The Hainanese chicken is ridiculously tender and tasty, the steamed fish in their house special sauce is bursting with flavor, and the prawn mee is hands-down one of the best I've ever had. This place has that cozy, old-school vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden gem. Just a heads-up--they're cash only, so don't forget to bring some bills. If you're in Chinatown, Manhattan, make sure to check out Nyonya--you won't regret it!

food was delicious! malaysian is a cuisine i dont often get the pleasure of trying and this place was amazing. service and vibes are alright but honestly who cares when the food is good. honestly with asian places when the service is bad thats usually a good sign (not saying they were bad tho.) the sambal shrimp and beef rendang reminded me of other asian dishes but the roti canai is would stood out the most. flakey and delicious roti with some sauce. lowkey next time i come id just order 3 of those. cash only but they have an atm. read more

Food was delicious! Roti canai is super good. You can tell it is good if the texture is like crispy tissue. Nasi lemak was awesome. I loved the anchovies and vegetable side. It was super addicting 8 can say though the chicken that came from the Nasi lemak was disappointing. Now to the hainese chicken--I loved the chicken but the "special Thai" sauce on top was not good. I wanted to try something new but basically I just wiped off the sauce and ate the chicken. Overall chicken was soooooooooo good (without the Thai sauce). We asked for the hot sauce and soy sauce on the side and tipped the chicken in the normal hainese sauce. Never getting the Thai sauce on top again buttttttt food was still very delicious. read more

Came here on a Thursday night and just had to wait 5-10 minutes. The restaurant was super packed so we were excited to look at the awards on the wall and menu as we waited. We sat and ordered the Roti Canai, 1/4 Hainanese chicken, and seafood crispy noodles. The roti was so thin and crispy and it came with a flavorful Indian curry sauce you can dip it in. The Hainanese chicken was cooked perfectly and had a light sauce and hot sauce to dip the chicken in. Lastly, the seafood crispy noodles were in a tasty broth with shrimp and vegetables. The restaurant was run well and the waiters were attentive and efficient. Definitely worth coming to try! read more

Nyonya came highly recommended because I have been on a hainan chicken craze! So we finally stopped by on a Sunday late afternoon/ early dinner hour. It wasn't too crowded. Restaurant is simple, not fancy by any means. And they only take cash! So remember to get enough cash! We ordered the roti, hubby loved the curry sauce the dunk it with! And of course the hainan chicken (1/2 order), veggies, sizzling beef with black peppercorns and the mango chicken (which hubby loved! As it came cooked with fresh mango and in a fresh mango!). We ended up finishing most of the dishes! We also got a chicken rice, which didn't really have much chicken broth flavor. Overall solid food, I enjoyed the hainan chicken and would likely return for a casual down to earth meal. read more

Tasty as I remembered having it 10 years ago. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. Well, at least for me. I feel it's all possible thanks to their cash only policy. The roti canai is just as chewy and flaky as I remember it!! It brought back the same excitement I felt when I had it here the first time. I had curried chicken and rice as my main and that was soft and flavorful. My favorite dish though, was the fish soup!! It's a melting pot of flavors. You get a little bit of salty, sour, savory, and varying textures from the cabbage, crispy fish, tomato, ginger and greens!! This soup would heal plenty of hungry stomachs in the fall and winter. read more

I think the quality of the food at this place has gone down tremendously. I came here maybe 15 years ago and I loved their food, but now the taste and flavor is not the same. Mee siam - i ordered this dish a year ago ans the flavors ornthebspice was there, when I had this yesterday, it was very bland. It's a night and day if you look at the pictures to compare Wonton mee - unfortunately the simplest fish is where they messed up. Not just one but twice. The wonton was raw and I showed the waiter, he took it back and had a new one sent out right away. Again the wonton was raw at thisb point I told them to cancel it. I am not risking to eat raw pork. The garlic chicken - a dish i can actually say it was not bad. The garlic and soy sauce together was good. It was not too oily nor salty.. Curry mee with shredded chicken - the chi Ken slices were way too overcooked that it became very dry even with the soup!! read more

Nyonya on Grand Street has the finest Malaysian cuisine in the City. I have been eating here for a number of years and like the Roti Canai, duck and the Haianese Chicken. This time however I found the chicken pieces to be rather bony and the meat meager. The mound of rice served in a separate dish was well made. Service is fine. Here it is cash only and a sign indicates that in the front. Restrooms for ladies and men are located in the back. read more

This place is cash only but they have an ATM nearby. Our group got the roti, chicken satay, green beans, hainan chicken and rice and the sizzling tofu platter. The roti was nice and flaky. The sauce with the chicken satay was very yummy and a bit different from the typical satay sauce. It was more sweet onion forward than peanut flavored. Overall, everything was good and served was good. read more

There are only a handful of places in Brooklyn to get good Malaysian food. Unfortunately, their Brooklyn location closed but I am glad that their Grand St. restaurant is still in operation! Some of my go to dishes are the roti canai, Hainanese chicken, Masak Lemak, fried pearl noodles and Yau Tau Mei Fun. Workers were always fast but during rush hours, a bit difficult to get a hold of if you need your water refilled or the check. *As a reminder, this is a cash only restaurant. read more

I ordered the salt and pepper fish and all I got was a mountain of veggies with one to three thin slices of dried salted fish. They wanted to see if I'd eat it this way knowing that they didn't give me what I ordered and I immediately noticed. I sent it back and asked where the fish was? Anyway, their roti and curry appetizer was good. read more

Overall ok/good. Not excellent. Perhaps a bit Americanized? Satays weren't seasoned enough. Pork intestines weren't crispy enough. They accept cash only and includes tax. read more

SERVICE - located on the border of Chinatown and little Italy - cash only - can be crowded during peak times so you may need to put your name on a waitlist and listen for when they call your number - some servers were friendly while others were curt - ambiance good for a semi casual meal - tables are close together which makes it challenging to have a conversation without eavesdropping on the table next to you MENU - Malaysian Chinese food - some vegetarian and vegan options upon request - average price ($18 per entree) FOOD - roti prata (5/10): thin flaky roti with a side of curry sauce. I got the vegetarian curry since the original comes with chicken. The size of this is enough for two people to share as an appetizer. I thought the best part was the curry sauce as it was spicy yet creamy. The roti was so thin it was hard to break off without it flaking all over the table. - chow kueh teow (5/10): stir fried rice noodles with tofu and mixed vegetables in a soy based sauce. This was the only noodle dish that could be made vegan as the rest of them had egg noodles and/or fish sauce. It was just okay but nothing wowing. The portion is very generous and can be shared between three or four people when paired with a curry or stir fry. - curry mixed vegetables in clay pot (5/10): curry sauce with fried tofu puffs and a variety of vegetables. I was hoping for more tofu in this but they only gave two pieces in the entire bowl. I liked the variety of vegetables and how they were cooked but not mushy. The curry felt oily and salty. WOULD I GO BACK? Most likely not. The vegetarian options were limited and the service was not the greatest. read more

Worth the trip into Chinatown! We had the half Hainanese chicken with chicken rice, an absolute must. The rice is incredibly flavorful and aromatic, and pairs perfectly with the tender, juicy chicken. We also ordered the crispy seafood egg noodles, which instantly brought back memories of Malaysia, nostalgia in a bowl. We've ordered from Nonya NYC on DoorDash several times and it's always consistent and satisfying, but dining in was great, there's a lot of tables and the restaurant itself was busy but not loud after midday. Everything tastes even fresher and more vibrant in person. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area or even making a special trip! It's on the Michelin guide too. read more

Came here for their lunch special on the weekend and got the king pork buff rice plate. The soup that came with it was good and filled with veggies and some chicken. The portion size is big but it is mostly rice. The pork was sweet and not really anything special served on top of a bed of iceberg lettuce. I would maybe come back to try their dinner options. It was pretty packed when I went but I didnt have to wait too long since it was just a table for one. As the waitress will remind you before you before you even get seated, CASH ONLY!! read more

Went with a friend for a quick lunch. It was fairly crowded but nothing too crazy. Got a seat fast. Ordered the mango chicken from the lunch special, and my friend got the Hainese chicken over rice. Both our meals came with soup. Also, ordered the Roti to share. Food came out fast and waitress was attentive and kept filling our water when necessary. The mango chicken was a bit of sweet and sour and flavorful and kept me full. Hainese chicken was tasty and saucy. The Roti is always a hit with the curry accompanying. Prices are reasonable for lunch. Spacious clean restaurant with authentic food and prompt service! read more

Came here for dinner on a Monday night with a crew of 6. We opted to go family-style and shared a bunch of dishes. Having lived in Singapore, I definitely miss Singaporean and Malaysian food and was excited to get some of my old favs. However, for the most part the food didn't live up to my hopes. We got: - Hainanese Chicken Rice: honestly just ok. It could have been more tender, juicy, and flavorful. The chili sauce was also watery and they didn't give enough for half a chicken. - Char kway teow: the noodles they used weren't the standard ones (at least that I was used to in Singapore) and it was missing wok hei. - Chinese watercress: solid, but I don't think this dish ever really stands out. - Beef rendang: this was one dish I would go back for. The rendang was flavorful and beef tender. The servers were really nice and the restaurant is very large, which is nice as you shouldn't have to wait for a table. Note: they are cash only. read more

We also ordered pan fried noodles and Malaysian noodles- everything was flavorable and good quality ingredients read more

What an amazing experience. As you enter you're greeted and asked how many so they can accommodate you accordingly. Once they seat you they bring you your menus. They have bathrooms, which was great to wash your hands before eating. Plenty of tables and chairs. Amazing decor and vibe, & whoever was playing music definitely knows how to keep the party jammin. (Lol). Honestly loved their customer service, friendly and attentive. The chicken soup was delicious. Nice little starter. For the first time trying out Nyonya Satay, which is basically chicken skewers. It comes with a sauce and uncooked onions and cucumber. So freaking good though. * Nyonya satay $16.95 with choice of beef or chicken. Served with peanut sauce. Not sure what the sauce taste like i was a bit scared to try it after dipping the Roti Canai. That sauce was spicy. ( not a fan of spicy food) * Roti Canai is (Original, Thin & Crispy) $8.00 It's malaysian all-time favorite crispy style pancake served with curry dipping sauce. These thin pancake was something different. Taste was bland but good at the same time lol. Not sure how to explain it, but i guess thats why u gotta dip it in the sauce. Last meal was * Mango Shrimp With Rice $14.95 Mango and shrimp stir-fried with rice, typically includes peppers and onions in a sweet and sour sauce. Now this was tasteful, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. The fact that they actually add real mangos is sooooo good. You have the option of asking for it spicy, but ya girl said "nuhuh please don't. " Will definitely come here again and try a couple of more things. read more

We highly recommend visiting Nyonya for an authentic Malaysian dinner. read more

We tried the curried beef and hainanese chicken. They were both great. The beef tasted even better than my mother in law's. The value is great too compared to the prices we pay in Seattle.

An easy walk in, with quick and attentive service. Simple but spacious interior. We ordered a few dishes: the thicker roti with curry (4/5), the chicken satay (5/5), curry with rice and beef(3/5 - I wish we got chicken instead of beef but we didn't want to deal with the bones), and a vegetable with shrimp paste (3/5). We also got hot tea, Malaysian ice tea, and the black sticky rice with coconut milk for dessert. Would definitely recommend a drink but skip dessert.
