    This place is ideal if you wanted to have a quick bite inside, they have a couple tables. This is more of a take out place though and the lady working the counter was super friendly and explained/answered any questions I had about the menu. She was a sweetheart. The hype is real, this rice was absolutely perfect. I can eat rice everyday of my life and this place fits right in my top 3 places with great fried rice in Katy/Houston. We got a large pork/chicken fried rice with no onions and extra egg. This dish/size could easily feed at least 4 people. I can't wait to go back and eat again and again. Trying new dishes for sure but that rice will always be part of w.e meal we go with. Super happy we finally gave this spot a try, everyone needs to check this place out if fried rice is your thing. Cheers!

    Orange chicken with hair in container.

    Major fail. The sweet and sour chicken do not not come with peppers, onions, etc. it only came with sauce and rice. Another order had hair in the container.

    47. Shrimp Egg Foo Young
    Steph D.

    I was surprised to see the full menu. I've driven by here 100 times and honestly thought this was a quick counter-service, prepackaged or street food type of place. I ordered Shrimp Egg Foo Young ($12.95) and 2 Eggrolls ($3.00) through DoorDash. The shrimp & egg patties were delicious and huge! I also have to say this was some of the best, fluffiest, steam rice I've ever received in a delivery order. I prefer a savory brown sauce with Egg Foo Young but this sauce was just a little too sweet for my preference. The Eggroll was pretty standard fair. Meh. But, they have me intrigued. I definitely want to try some other dishes from this location.

    The food is excellent and made to order. The sign does say to go but there are a few tables to sit at inside. I will definitely be back!

    Very nice desk lady, clean place, fast service. I would return back if I need a quick bite of some Chinese !

    I'm more interested in animal rice

    I'm an advocate for human rice, and that starts by enjoying the Rice Bowl in Katy. Indonesian food is hard to come by in the Houston area and this is a really good version of it. I would give it five stars for the excellent food that we had here, except that I saw all the fake reviews which kind of put me off a little bit. Having said that I still recommend it for sure. But not the Chinese American food, just the legit Indonesian stuff.

    Sesame chicken and Sweet and Sour chicken dinner plates
    Star Y.

    It's a quaint spot! Fantastic service, and pretty good food! We tried the Sesame dinner combo and the Sweet and Sour chicken, they were delicious and hefty servings. I had to take some home. I loved the egg roll and the cream cheese puff yum !!

    Best in town. Packed with flavor and served hot. You can tell the food was cooked on a seasoned wok!

    I will be quite honest with you that I really have no experience with Malaysian food. In point of…read morefact, I've bypass this restaurant numerous times simply assuming that it was Chinese. It is anything but in point of fact, it is in my estimation, a unique culinary experience. I don't write from the perspective of comparing this food to other Malaysian dishes that I've had in point of fact to the best of my recollection I don't think that I've ever had Malaysian cuisine. But if this restaurant is an example, I have missed a great deal. The food is very unique the servings are very gracious charitable. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the distinction of this particular cuisine and given the portions and quality of food that is served. The service is quite simple and the restaurant is actually quite small. However, I must tell you from A service perspective. It's truthfully amazing because the takeout business is extremely active. Not to mention the fact that the chef walks out and speaks to people will share anything that you want to know about Malaysian food and obviously from the quality of the food that I ate not only is his explanation thorough but my guess is his skills are incredible. As I said it is very small so it's difficult to Alpine about the ambience other than it was quite clean and given the number of whom I suspect were Malaysian people it's obviously quite popular within that community. So I take that to be a sign that this food is quite native in nature. I had a pork meal, which is only on Sundays. I spoke to the chef about it, and he explained that the preparation started one day in advance of actually serving the meal, so I understand why it is only served once a week. Although I must tell you because I lack familiarity it seemed to me that I would be hours and hours trying to replicate any of the dishes. All I can tell you is this if you are in an exploratory mood for a cuisine and have had or have not had Malaysian before I suspect this is a place to go. Quite informal, extremely fair pricing very generous portions great service very pleasant people and frankly it's a a family affair of what you will see many when you go. Quite a lovely experience.

We were hungry, so we decided to order two entrées and the roti canai (plain). I usually enjoy roti, and while this was tasty, it was not my favorite. I think it was dryer than I've had before, so maybe I'm just used to more grease. Our first entree was the curry chicken, and it was tasty. Surprisingly there are only a few chunks of potatoes but lots of chicken. The curry sauce was good, but it was exactly the same as one of the roti dipping sauces. The star of the meal for us was the fried Hainan chicken. It has so much flavor and a nice crisp exterior. It was on the pricier side, but I would definitely recommend ordering it. They brought out a chopped ginger dipping sauce, a darker sauce, and a chili type sauce, so there were lots of options to choose from to add even more flavor to the chicken. Our food came out very promptly, the servers were very kind and friendly and seemed genuinely pleased to hear that we enjoyed the food. We definitely plan to come back!

    Food - 4/5 Service - 4/5…read moreAmbiance - 4/5 Overall - 4/5 Within this busy shopping center lies this small Malaysian restaurant. Parking here will forever and always be terrible, but besides that, this place was almost entirely empty, especially for a weekend lunch (we did come almost right at opening time, but there were only like a few other customers by the time we finished). I think the main issue with this restaurant is the menu. With a wide variety of options with different cuisines, I felt that the quality of dishes was lower than I wanted. That aside, I absolutely loved the roti canai, with it being almost perfectly crispy, buttery, and tasty. The fried rice was really flavorful with the salted fish, almost verging on too strong. The curry noodle soup we got was not very strong and was a little bit disappointing. The beef tripe was so incredibly tasty, though the spice was a little bit much for my family. The beef dry hot pot was nice, though I only really liked the beef and not much else on it (some of it was bitter, other parts were just too salty). I don't think this place is terrible. We did come as one of, if not the first, customers in the restaurant, so everything was made fresh and was hot as we ate it. I just think was so much competition surrounding it in this busy shopping center, I don't think it accomplishes enough to be a go-to place for my family.

    We saw this place on social media and decided to visit for Mother's Day…read more First things first - parking lot was insane. So come early or you might circle the lot for awhile. We were seated immediately but our server was giving us attitude the entire time. He would constantly check on the other tables but never us. We had to flag down the other server whenever we needed something. Food wise, everything was just okay. The best thing was probably the roti canai and the stir fried flat noodles with beef. The green beans were flavorless, the sizzling pepper chicken was not spicy (we requested spicy) and no pepper, and the beef rendang was really oily.
