    Fried chicken lunch special  Minced pork w string beans Roti w curry chicken  Fish soup
    James C.

    Great little spot. Super friendly family owned place. Everything was delicious. The fish soup was a little too fishy for my taste, but that's how it's made. Plenty of other soups to try next time. The minced pork was delicious as well as the fried chicken pieces and roti with chicken curry. All spot on yummy. Pulau Ka-pow! In

    Palau Pinang has been around for decades but I never ventured to try this Malaysian restaurant as my first choice is usually Taste Good while in Elmhurst. Curiously, we decided to give it a try since we found a spot in the parking lot. We ordered salt and pepper squid which was perfectly crispy. The entrees we tried were Hainese chicken rice and Beef Rendang with rice. They were humble options that packed a great flavor punch. The beef was stewed until tender and my chicken was nice and juicy. Portion wise, I think Taste Good is still better but the flavors were very complimentary here and the interior seems more modernized. They have an expanded menu so I'd like to try their Taiwanese offerings in the future.

    Been coming here since I was a kid. Never had a bad meal here. Gets busy if you come late lunch but service manages to keep up. Food has always been great here. The roti and curry is our go-to app and we always get the hainanese chicken. Their Malaysian food is very good and one of the reasons we always go back. The parking lot is always full so I would not even attempt to try to go in because it's crazy trying to leave. It's a shared lot with multiple other restaurants and a grocery store.

    Overall great restaurant and didn't get too busy while we were there for Saturday lunch. My friend who is from Malaysia really likes this restaurant. The beef chow fun was on point. It had soft, smooth, slippery rice noodles that were perfect. The wok hei was on fire. The tot devoured this dish. I really liked the sarang burong. The taro was shell was very crisp and thick. It had a good amount of taro filling. The chicken was very soft and shrimp was fresh. It was a tad sour, but I am not sure if that was part of the flavor profile. The roti canai - the crepe was large (unlike other places where you barely get anything). The curry was not the best I have had. It tasted a little watered down to me, but it was decent. The House Special Seafood tofu dish was quite good. The tofu was very soft and fresh. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the shrimp was also fresh. The salt and pepper pork chop was a miss. The char kweoy teo was quite good. I would get this again. Would definitely return!

    This is my second time here. I'm from Malaysia and this is always a great way to curb my cravings for home food. Some of the dishes lean salty but overall taste very good. The service is so friendly and attentive. There's plenty of seating and usually not a long wait. It can be a little noisy but not too bad. I'm sure I'll be back!

    4.5 Stars, rounding up to 5 Stars! What a nice surprise! I was hesitant to try this restaurant since it had mixed reviews. But I'm so glad we gave it a try! I had lowered my expectations for this restaurant, given the mixed reviews, but everything we ordered was fantastic! We ordered both Malaysian dishes and Taiwanese dishes, and they all exceeded our expectations! Also, prices are very reasonable; but with a surcharge if paying by credit card. These are the 10 dishes we tried: ~ Stinky Tofu ($12): the tofu was minimally stinky and could have been stinkier (lol) but I actually like it this way. Flavors weren't overpowering. ~ Clams w.Basil ($21): this was a basic dish and was good. ~ Fried Oysters $19): the oysters came with a side of oyster sauce but honestly, you don't need it. Sprinkle a little salt, and they're delish! ~ 3 Cup Chicken ($19): this dish came out Smokin'!! Be carefully not to touch the plate cause you'll get burned! This may be the best 3 Cup Chicken I've ever had! ~ Fly Heads ($18): someone once asked me if this dish was really made of fly heads....of course, this person was lo fan! Hahaha This dish never disappoints. Ask for it extra spicy! Sooooo good! ~ Belacan Special (Veg w.spicy shrimp paste) ($19): Veggies never tasted so good! Very flavorful! ~ Lamb Rendang ($22): I've only ever had Beef Rendang, so was looking forward to try this lamb version. It was delicious! The meat was very tender and tasty. ~ Curry Beef Stew ($22): the curry flavors were too mild for me, and I wish it had more of a curry flavor but this dish was good nonetheless. Another tasty dish! ~ Shredded Beef w.Scallions ($18): the shredded beef was perfections. Good dish! ~ Mee Goreng Noodles ($12): omg this noodle dish was fantastic! Noodles were perfectly al dente, and sooooo flavorful! ~ White Rice ($2/bowl): note that none of the entrees come with rice, so you must order separately. Note that this restaurant has square tables, as well as round tables for larger groups. ***One strike against them is that they do NOT have Lazy Susans for the round tables. Lazy Susans are a MUST for round tables; making it easier for family style shared meals. There are about 3 round tables, which seats up to 9 adults comfortably (10 if you're all on the thin side. lol). They will tell you that this table seats 12, but honestly, you can only seat 12 people if you have kids and/or thin people. (My party of 10 adults sat elbow to elbow). Free parking in the lot in front of the restaurant. This is a shared lot with the other businesses in the strip mall; including a supermarket. Parking can be challenging on a busy day. Customer service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. On this Wednesday evening, this place was packed! Very popular restaurant! I can't wait to come back to try their other dishes!

    Was in the area and decided to come here for some Malaysian food to bring home. Service was friendly and my order was ready as promised. Got the crispy squid, salt & pepper pork chops, Hainanese chicken over rice and roti canai. Fyi, there's an additional 3.5% surcharge if you pay with a credit card. I had high hopes but unfortunately, everything only tasted fairly mediocre. The chicken was dry, rice had too much ginger with barely any chicken flavor, the curry was very thick & sweet, roti was not crispy, the squid was bland and pork chops tasted weird & also sweet. Even my kids didn't like the food :(

    Returned recently for take-out, and dined-in a few days ago. Good portions, for the low prices, in their lunch options (came with soup), and over-rice dishes. We liked the Beef rendang, Nasi lemak (with chicken rendang, wished there were more anchovies), Salted fish/chicken fried rice. Pinang Udang Mee has spicy, light, shrimp-y broth, al dente noodles, shrimp, fish cakes and other toppings. All flavorful dishes without being too salty. Wasn't into the marinade and texture of the fried pork chop. Hainanese chicken was not as tasty as Batik's for me. Since 2 years ago, noticed the decor has changed. On a cool rainy day, it was kind of cold inside (good thing we ordered soup :) ).

    Service was good. They are very attentive; my cup is always filled to the brim with water. Food is good. Love the water spinach! Pork chop tasted too much of ketchup. A few items on menu was fair price, others were really expensive! Homemade Roti Canai was REALLY good! 3.5% extra if use Credit Card

    We came here on a blistering cold day and was welcomed by a very cheery staff all decked in holiday cheer. Special shoutout to PM whose smile and joyful spirit warmed our souls. The food was spectacular and just what our whole family needed. From the roti to the noodles to the soup to all of the sizzling meat available, couldn't have been happier. Definitely a sweet spot for a lowkey family gathering. Saw a few couples, a few young family, and a few extended family gathering here. Believe they just hit a decade (?) on Boxing Day. We wish them many many successful years ahead!

    after having been to taste good (my fav malay place in the city), I had to see how this place compared! I think each has their own strengths dishes I liked here: satay, hainese chicken, clay pot pork belly, pearl noodles dishes i'd pass on next time: beef rendang (beef not tender), roti (not flaky enough) , clams (very fishy and sandy :(((( ) super yummy and a good price for how much food you can get! def coming back and highly recommend!! call ahead to make a reservation for peace of mind.

    How's the parking around 3 pm on a Thursday?

    There is a free parking lot and you shouldn't have a problem finding a spot in there at that time.

    I called like 25 mins ago and the recorder said they’re having gas ssue. So when is the place opening up? I am sure they want to serve their regular customers already.

    They are back in business after a brief hiatus! They re-opened last Wednesday 8/7/19

    They are temporarily closed. Anyone have any idea when it should open back up?

    No wonder they never pick up...

The beef satay is another highlight, well-executed and flavorful. The Singapore rice noodles could use some refinement. They're properly seasoned, but lack anything distinctive to set them apart. The beef chow fun, on the other hand, is done well, the noodles hold their texture without breaking apart, and there's a nice portion of beef. And don't skip the treats at the counter, made fresh daily. The roast pork buns and curry puffs are definitely worth trying.

The chicken is dark meat, and everything is Halal. I don't expect the chicken to come deboned & without skin (other Hainan Chicken Rice / Khao Man Gai places keep everything intact). The grilled chicken was tastier with a marinade/sauce on it. The texture did taste a little like it was cooked in a convection oven. The broth that came with it tasted like it was made from bullion powder. The 2 sauces were very tasty & made the meal. There was a sweet chili one and the funky/spicy one - make sure to ask for both. I guess I had a high expectation seeing 3 Malasian-Thai Aunties working there / hanging out on break. The staff was SO friendly. The menu is Malaysian with a few Thai dishes.

I ordered the nasi bungkus with fried chicken. This dish comes wrapped in a banana leaf and then wax paper and it's exciting to be able to unwrap it when it arrives at the table. It has a complex heat, tempered with bitterness but is not overly spicy. The fried chicken was incredibly tender- when I attempted to separate the drumstick from the thigh, the bones just pulled right out. The meat is also deeply seasoned throughout. A really fantastic piece of fried chicken. There is ample sauce to season the soft, fluffy rice and the green beans provided a welcome vegetal bite. I loved the hidden hard boiled egg buried in there. I also got a very interesting dessert, Ice doger. It has a base of pink shaved ice and coconut milk and is topped with avocado, black glutenous rice, basil seeds, coconut and cubed white bread. The flavor combination was unique and fascinating. The creamyness of the avocado lends itself perfectly to a dessert, and the grassy vegetal after taste adds complexity. The herbal, sour notes from the basil seeds and the richness of the coconut complement the sweet base, seasoned with condensed milk and the cubes of white bread soak up all the liquid as the ice melts. I loved this dessert. My food took quite a long time to come, but the service was very friendly and helpful and my water was refilled often.

The fish was smoky, crispy on the outside moist and flaky on the inside. The meatballs had that unique texture of bouncy and chewy. It had good flavor. There were two different types of noodles in the soup that the meatballs came in. We were also surprised the fried fishcakes also came in a noodle soup. Apparently, the combo comes with noodles in soup even though that's not what the picture looked like. The crispy chicken lived up to its name; it was very crispy but not a whole lot of flavor. Still the crunchy texture made it addictive. If you like authenticate Indonesian flavors you will definitely be happy here.

    As stated before, I finally came back to try the savory foods from Tea Cup Cafe!…read more Starting off, my fiancé ordered the Crispy Fish. The sauce that was served was absolutely delicious with the signature tanginess and sweetness of Thai food. The hot pot that I ordered was also enjoyed to the fullest! The food here was super good but also I love liver so I was glad they had a hot pot option that included that! After a delicious meal, we finished off with the mango bingsu which also was a huge hit! The bingsu was super fluffy and light! This meal was definitely worth it and didn't leave me feeling super heavy. The service was also great even though they were always full house with some parties waiting and only one person serving. I will be back next time to try their Thai barbecue which I saw people having and I could stop looking at! On top of all this, the server or manager even gave me a free Melona ice cream which I paired with the bingsoo after he saw that I was pregnant which I thought was super sweet. I don't live too far from here so I also want to add that even though I have not added a review, I always go to this restaurant to grab a coconut Thai milk tea to go (I am not even a huge Thai tea fan)! For some reason, I love the coconut thai tea from here and always find myself craving it.

    Best hidden gem In Elmhurst area and that says a lot given all of the quality Thai food the area…read morehas to offer. This place started off as a cafe, then started offering more and more food. They're always friendly and food is always fresh. Great to see that they continue to expand!
