I've been coming back to One 2 Snack for a couple of years now and for good reason. They have very good food. The laksa is delicious and I have friends who swear by the kwetiau. However, having said all that, I do have some minor gripes with the tiny restaurant that could. First, there is barely any place to sit down. It's alright when you are the only one in the restaurant, but when there are several people ordering and waiting for their order, finding a quiet place to eat your meal can be a tall order. There is a food court nearby with plenty of seating, however, upon entering this food court there is a sign that explicitly say no outside food allowed. Second, and something I find quite annoying because it has happened on multiple occasions, is that I'll go to One 2 Snack with the intention of ordering a certain dish, but once we get there we are told that the dish is no longer available and is sold out. read more

This is my first time trying malaysian foods,.but it was so.good i wish i can come everyday。 Their opening hours were little bit of strange compared to other family resturant, but its worthy to go,plus you have to order early before 3pm (ingredient limited). read more

The BEST laksa in the city. Always get the mixed noodle. The service is also next to none. Bryan is amazing making sure that everything is exactly as you want it. Be warned that they run out of food if you don't preorder. read more

This place doesn't fuck around. The lack of fuckery here is rare. Just a hole in the wall joint run by the same family offering made to order Malaysian takeout from an unremarkable Scarborough strip mall. There are some small tables and stools, but that's it. It's a small menu (been here about 3 times, still working my way through the menu - have yet to try the weekend only dishes) and everything I've had has been excellent. The laksa (which is incredibly easy to fuck up) is one of the best I've ever had and the char kway teow is damned near perfect -- not too dry and excellent hit of heat. For some of the dishes, they offered a free upgrade to half egg noodle and half rice noodle, which gives you a nice texture contrast. Being as good as they are and staffed by the same family, it gets busy. It's a steady stream of takeout phone orders and Chinese aunties and uncles floating around. Oh - in case the clientèle didn't give it away, it's really cheap too with most dishes around $6 - $7. At this price point, you are usually dealing with pre-made 'Chinese' food served in metal troughs warmed by heat lamps. With all this, you would expect service to be curt, bordering on rude. But the cashier is a true gentleman. Offering suggestions and helping those unfamiliar with Malay cuisine. That said, don't come here expecting them to be able to bend over backwards for you. While huddling over and enjoying my eat-in meals here - I heard "No - sorry - we can't make that dish mild - it comes spicy or extra spicy. Please try something else." I dig that level of purism -- basically, "No, we will not dumb down the dish, you plebian.". However, they were able to accommodate the lady's vegetarian restriction with some off-menu modifications. Firm, but fair. Even when we ignore the value here, the food is some of the best Malay I've had. And the service and decor is everything you need and nothing you don't. Is it any wonder that I try to find any excuse to pop by the area so I can grab something from One2 (*ahem* three into the four)? read more

as a Malaysian I can say that this place has really authentic Malaysian street food and it's REALLY GOOD. There aren't many places to sit and the food took a long time but honestly, the food was so good it was all worth it. Portions were large and most customers are like family to the owners it was so cute. read more

As good as it can get this far from home. All the flavours unique to Malaysia are here. nasi lemak, char kway teow, wat tan hor all hit the spot. The curry is also very good, has the right flavour and I can taste curry leaves, scratches my curry itch every time! Best of all are the kuih-muih (desserts), kuih dadar, kuih talam, kuih lapis, even kuih with durian. You can even find Malaysian style savoury taro cake (芋头糕) here, tasting just the way it's supposed to taste, and served with the right kind of chilli sauce. If you are getting a made to order dish like the CKT or wat tan hor, do yourself a favour and ingest it on premises, don't ruin it by keeping them steaming in the container for another minute! read more

Great price, great flavour, great portions. Great for fatties and foodies. Laksa and char Kwa Tew were very well cooked. The Stir fry is proper and has the smoky flavour that a lot of places don't. read more

you know this small, unassuming place in Dynasty Place plaza is worth checking out when there's barely any space to stand inside as it's filled with middle-aged ladies who know what's good. dine-in space is *very* limited, most take out orders. run by mom, dad, and son; mom runs the stove, dad is second in command, and son mans the frontlines with incredible patience and courtesy. they are non-stop all day long yet still take phone orders. desserts are essentially offered weekend only unless you order by the tray for a weekday, and run out by early-afternoon (2-ish if you're lucky). the pandan crepes are sooo pillowy and filled with not overly sweet dried coconut i believe. delicious! food is easily sold out by end of the day so call to place your order before you go! read more

This place is a wow! In the good way, the price-value of the food is really really good, yes the place is a little hard to find but here is my experience: I called them with 30 min to place my order I got lost between the stores of the mall and I call them to verify where they were located, even with indications I was struggling to find the place so I called again the young guy very kindly took some of his time to get out of the store and find me and took me to the restaurant. I call that good service. read more

Yummy! Very good food! Very friendly staff. The place is very small, but the food amazing! We ordered their 3 signature dishes and all of them are really good. This place is definitely recommended. The price is excellent very cheap! You should definitely go try their food! read more

Very good, highly recommend this place. Only complain is the food is slight oily. Msg is on the lower scale. If you want to try their dessert, come early on Saturday or it'll be sold out by noon read more

One2 Snacks - Malaysian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

See all

This place is small so be prepared to wait for a spot or even your order. We arrived at 1pm on a Sunday and there was no space so we chose to take our food to go and eat in the car. It was soooooo worth it! Succulent chicken sate, the nasi lemak with dilis (coconut rice with sambal and small fried fish) was such comfort food! We also truer various deserts whose names I have forgotten. They were tasty enough. Their Char Kwey teow was just ok. We will be back for the laksa! read more

What can I say? We live in Mississauga and whenever we head eastbound or pass through Scarborough, we will never fail to drop in for a meal PLUS lots of takeouts. Love love love their Laksa, Char Kway Teow, Wat Tan Hor Fun, Mee Siam, Hokkien Mee, Nasi Lemak, Curry Chicken to name a few as well as most of their traditional snacks "Kueh". This is a family business and service from the whole family is just incredible. I say super 5 or even 6 stars for their service. Wish they were in Mississauga so I don't have to travel that far to enjoy this type of gourmet Malaysian food at such affordable prices. read more

Desserts are offered on weekends only, a few varieties of Nyonya Kuih (steamed "cakes" made with some combination of rice flour, glutinous rice or flour, coconut milk, grated coconut, and other yummy ingredients) are available each day but they fly out the door fast. The stores opens at 11am, once I was there shortly after 12 only to find out that the desserts were almost sold out. A must-try, but make sure you go early and on weekends only. read more

Great little place. Amazing food. We got the char kway teow with an extra egg. It was slightly over $9 with tax, which is on the pricier side for a noodle dish in this area, but the quality of the ingredients, portion size, and taste more than made up for that. The gentleman behind the counter was extremely helpful and spoke great English, which was helpful as we were slightly indecisive. The chef whistled a catchy tune that complimented the sounds of the kitchen, a balance that was definitely transferred on to the noodles. read more

Tasty chow kwai diu and curry laksa!! Better call to pre-order, otherwise wait at least 30 mins or probably 1 house at busy hours.

After a friend recommended this place a few months ago, I finally got around to picking some food up from here. I called them 3 times and they ended up calling me back right away. Made an order an hr ahead and still had to wait an extra 15 minutes for our food. This place is BUSY, but for good reason. Tried their char kuey teow and curry laksa. Both dishes were HUGE portions and delicious! I loved the smokey wok flavour in the char kuey teow. I will definitely be coming back here to try some other dishes! read more

They are the best. Authentic Malaysian food and price is reasonable. I will suggest calling ahead to place the order. The wait is kind of long. read more

A secret joint the missus and I frequent. Tiny shop located in a not so inviting plaza. What it lacks in accessibility and flair, they make up with their flavour! Their char kway teow is so flavourful it hurts, (literally! It's spicy!) but so good. Curry laksa is another banger with very deep and rich flavours that will make you come back, guaranteed. They serve traditional desserts on the weekends, but the majority sell out before the afternoon, so if you get to try them, give them a try. Be warned, if you plan on coming later on in the afternoon, you may have to wait up to an hour for your food, especially if they are slammed with orders. Most people in the know will wait for their oh so dank dishes without a second thought. The owners son, Brian, usually takes the orders and will happily answer all questions. He will make sure you get your order right, and on time. He will even go as far to inform you on what best to do to keep your takeout the freshest possible so you can enjoy the takeout at home. Highly recommend One2snacks to anybody whose looking for something different and with bold flavours. A real gem! read more

I absolutely love coming here whenever I crave Kway Teow ! I give this place a high rating because of the prices. The prices are amazing for what you can get. I've usually order the Kway Teow since I love this dish. Then I usually get a side such as the chicken satay skewers or the curry puffs. The curry puffs are mainly potatoes in a puff but I enjoy the curry taste. The noodles are great though and I get the Kway Teow every time. Excellent prices and big portions ! read more

Amazing food! Authentic food the staff are super friendly and they really take time to explain their food. The people that goes yo this store are super nice as well you get that good vibe from everyone. read more

This place is a hidden gem.... So hidden that I never the plaza existed!! Ignore the store front that looks unappetizing with random food posters and battle your way to the cashier. Every item on the menu is delicious and affordable. I recommend the durian dessert, if you're lucky enough to find any left. Like most people that have already mentioned, call to order before heading. This place is BUSY. I waited over 30 minute for just two dishes. Would not recommend dining in as the place is small and line ups are shoulder to shoulder. read more

I have not had Char Kway Teow so greasy. It is soak in oil and plenty of MSG. This place is cardiologist's best friend. I can feel my blood vessels are plugged with oil droplets now. Next time I am going to request less oil and no MSG. Try their rice wrapped in pandang leav, $1.35 each, very tasty. While waiting for your food, go to Ho Ho Ho right across from One2 Snacks. Ho Ho Ho sells fish ball by the pound. They also sell curry sauce ($4.50) so you can make your own curry fish balls at home. Once you tried Ho Ho Ho you will never pay those over priced fish balls at shopping mall. read more

Fantastic customer service here- we ordered from their catering menu for a dinner party and they were incredibly helpful. They worked with us on amounts to order, vegetarian options and gave recommendations. Their curry laksa, char kway teow and nasi lemak with chili padi chicken are phenomenal. And the desserts are subtle and not too sweet. I usually point at a different one each time because I don't know what they're called but I haven't been disappointed yet. read more

The curry laksa is really really good. The Hokkien Mee is a little too salty for my liking. Call in your order instead of going there and ordering because you have to wait 30+ minutes for your food. read more

Learned about this place thru a Globe and Mail article which highlighted lesser known spots in the East End. It lived up to the hype. If Malaysia is "truly Asia" then this was authentic street food. What stood out for me was the time that it took to cook each dish. You could that they were not just mass-producing all the dishes. By the time I got there, half the dishes were sold out at 2PM on a Sunday! My only suggestion is for this family to diversify into the food truck business and bring their awesome food to the downtown streets. They would make a killing! read more

Add me to the list of fans of this fantastic little joint churning out to-die-for delicious Malaysian dishes! I've been here once before, and we were lucky enough then to nab a couple of seats, and know how busy this place gets. This time, we placed a take-out order by phone, timing it for after Thursday's lunch time rush, and were told the food would be ready in 25 minutes. This was perfect timing as it took roughly 30 minutes to get to One 2 Snacks from downtown. This time we ordered: Char Kway Teow with egg (2 orders as we cannot get enough!); Chicken satay; Mee Goreng and a dish we'd never had before - the Meehun siam: - Enough have been said about ther Char Kway Teow on Yelp - the "wok hay" is very apparent (a good thing) and it's filled with chicken, fish, and egg - that I do not need to say more. - The Meehun siam was a revelation! Only a few photos of this dish on Yelp and not many comments, but took a leap of faith, and went for it. The vermicelli noodles were flavourful, and not oily at all! In fact, they were fluffy, again with wok hay, and lots of fillings. Amazing and will definitely be part of our standard order. - The Mee Goreng was carefully packaged as takeout, with a foil liner for this dish in particular to prevent melting of the styrofoam box (Not sure why the other noodles were not packaged this way). The noodles were a little bit soft (would have prefered al dente) but it could be due to time sitting in the car to take home. - Chicken satay - the peanut sauce is good, but not even needed when the chicken meat itself is so flavourful, and tender. You'd think with three kinds of noodle dishes that it would be difficult to discern the flavours between each, but they all had their own distinct tastes as well as texture. When we arrived for pickup, the parking lot was full. Despite it being afgter lunch, there was a line to pickup, but everything was ready. And all the seats were filled. How they manage to keep the prices so low is beyond me! Under $38 for our entire order (4 orders of noodles + satay). And now we have tons of left-overs to continue to enjoy the yumminess of One2 Snacks. The only disappointment is that we did not order the Laksa, as we didn't know if it would travel well as take-out, and wanted to avoid any potential spills in the car. read more

I ordered Char Kwey Teow with extra egg, at about 11:45 am lunch time, and there were many people, and the food took about 20 minutes to be served. The portion size was huge and the taste is really close to what you you can get from Malaysia. read more

My parents brought home some takeout from this place. And it was very very delicious. As a person that grew up in Malaysia, I would say that this tastes like real Malaysian food. read more

The hype about this place is justified. Portions are big and food comes with tons of "wok hay" which literally translates to wok breath and is used to describe food that has been cooked in a well worked in wok over very high temperatures, a highly coveted quality in Chinese food (this place sells Malaysian street food but the owners are likely Chinese-Malaysian - they can speak Cantonese). **ALWAYS CALL IN AHEAD ON WEEKENDS!! They receive tons of large catering orders on weekends and wait times are often an hour+. Don't let yourself be disappointed and call ahead. Often times your call will go unanswered but they WILL call you back (their VM is always full but unless your # is blocked from call display they will call back) - if they don't (only happened to me once), they're probably so busy that you won't want to wait that long anyway. Weeknights wait times are more manageable, but why not always call ahead just in case. I love spicy food so always order their dishes extra extra extra spicy, which usually comes out at a perfect spicy level for me. This did bite me in the butt once when I got the Mee Goreng - it came out so spicy my nose was running like a faucet within a couple bites. Still ate the whole thing though, it did take a couple of meals :). Strangely, my favourite dish is the Hokkien Mein, which is a non-spicy soy based stirred fried yellow noodle. Their chicken satay, the only dish of theirs I've tried where portion is on the small side, but is phenomenal. The meat is expertly seasoned and comes out perfectly cooked and juicy. Lastly, I would say food, price & portion would've garnered this place 4.5 stars but the service most definitely brings it up to 5. The place is family run, with the parents in the kitchen and the son being the cashier/order taker; I believe he's also the chef behind the desserts that are available only on weekends. He is always very polite, respectful, and apologetic when there's a wait. All around a very well run family business, and I'm sure they're doing quite well by it too - sure hope they are, they work their butts off. read more

Food is good...slightly bland. Service is great. The wait....horrible. TIP: Call in advanced to place an order. Pick it up in an hour

This small food store in a nondescript plaza is a true gem. This is one of the most unpretentious restaurants ever. They just want to serve good food at reasonable prices. In this modestly decorated place, you can find some delicious malaysian/asian fusion food. I'm no expert on Malaysian food, but the food here is very similar to Chinese food, but tastes notably different due to the use of various spices. Kind of in between Chinese food and Thai food.The Laksa is flavorful, and not overly spicy. Though you can ask for stronger spice level if you like the heat. The stir fry dishes are also excellent. Great portions too. I wish they would open every day. They are closed Mon-Wed but I understand those days are duds for the food industry. They do have a few tables for sitting but you're better off getting take out. read more

Tastes alright. Curry laksa is spicy. Be careful if you cannot handle spicy food.

This place is good for your taste buds and wallet! It's a hidden gem amongst the typical chinese 'restaurants' in the plaza. The Malaysian food is consistently yummy! I've had the curry laksa, char kway teow and loh meen (sorry for the spelling if it's incorrect). The desserts are also really really good!! read more

I had the curry laska and the chicken satay, both are a must try for anyone that goes there.

You will have to wait, but it's worth it. Today I tried the curry fish ball soup and the thin rice vermicelli noodle stir fry. Asked for mild spice on both and they were both spicy and full of flavour. read more

Wow. We were in town for a conference and were near this tiny little Malaysian gem. It's a mom and pop in an Asian strip mall in Scarborough. Get the Char Kway Teow -- it's a heavenly noodle dish. Friendly staff, very helpful. They get very busy, so patience is key. read more

What I missed in Malaysia ? Char Kwey Teow, hey seems like old times, yes ! Now I know where to get my favorite Malaysian dish. Next in line Curry Laksa. read more

Food is amazing! Call in advance to order or else you'll be waiting at the counter for a loooong time. They really should open Mon Tues and Wed though, and move to a bigger location and hire some more staff. The lineups and the long wait are a bit of a deterrent sometimes. read more
