Ordered 1/2 Hainanese chicken and vegetable with shrimp paste. Total was 35.00 plus tips/tax. The two dishes were good but it was a bit too much for two tiny girls. We should've ordered the 1/4 chicken instead of the 1/2. read more

Love this place. I've been ordering take out here more often, than dining. Great either way. I usually go for the curry chicken noodle soup and the Roti Boom. The food is amazing! I love the saly swimming in my veins, it feels so good. The other dishes are all quite good too, like Hainanese chicken, pineapple fried rice. Parking is not too bad in the area. Wait staff is nice read more

Great curry Great satay Great food This is a hidden gem but you won't regret it. Try it out. I like it a lot! Cash only read more

***PREFACE: I have never eaten Malaysian food before*** I strongly dislike downtown Flushing around Roosevelt Avenue and the train station. It's not exactly my idea of a peaceful dining environment. Therefore, I am a strong supporter of exploring Flushing beyond the 7 train station. Kissena Avenue is a nice stretch upon which we found Satay. I have been itching to try Malaysian, so I figured, "why the hell not?" Definitely a good move. For starters, service is extremely nice. They are pleasant, friendly, and even conversational to a certain degree. Here, one doesn't feel like they're being looked at funny, or chastised for wanting a fork (I can use chopsticks, but I have a fear that I'm not using them right). The waitress actually said a few words to me in Spanish (I'm not Hispanic but I think it's a nice gesture, considering I really look it). The menu is humongous and extensive: it's tough for a newbie like myself to pick dishes out. But I knew I wanted to try the roti canai: it was delicious, flaky and thin with an irresistible dipping sauce (bonus points for letting you keep the sauce to play around with on your main dishes). The Chili Chicken was hella spicy but delicious; an excellent companion to the coconut rice. I can't wait to return and try more items! Malaysian food is delicious... I think I'll have to cheat on Thai. read more

A good Malaysian restaurant. Love their roti canai. Like everyone said it is cash only. They have some Thai and cantonese dishes. Portion is great so you do get your money worth. They speak cantonese, mandarin, and pretty good english. Sometimes during dinner service they are packed but the wait is usually good. Lunch time is never that packed so no need to worry about starving while waiting. They have like three parking spaces in the front of the restaurant. Other wise you would have to find street parking. read more

Terrible service. Ordered delivery...ordered roti but they didn't give me the curry sauce. Ordered house special salad, most of it was onions and way overpriced $9. The hainan chicken was ok but the ginger sauce wasn't that good and it didn't come with rice. All 3 items total $31 not worth it. I was looking forward to the roti with curry sauce but it was such a disappointment I didn't get the sauce. read more

Not sure why this place is listed twice on yelp, perhaps to hedge the lower ratings? I don't want to spend too much time on a poor review. Ordered takeout. Took too long, looked and tasted terrible, unidentifiable solids drowning in copious amounts of greasy liquid, smelled bad and cost far too much. My wife tells me the owners are not Malaysian so may just be imitation malay food. Will never go back here. Disclosure: I have been to Malaysia a number of times so can gauge authentic malay food to some extent. read more

I came here almost every week while I do my laundry next block. The food here is tasty and rich in flavor. Good in portion too. My all time flavor is the dry noodle with Cha SIEW. Their Cha SIEW is so good that I can eat them all just by itself. read more

We ordered 3 noodle dishes and 1 rice dish on a Monday night just to find out over an hour and a half we ordered our food, it has yet to be delivered. We called numerous times asking about where the driver is and all we were told is "he is on the way". They didn't even bother to contact the driver and ask him to let us know. It's reasonably fine to be 10-15 minutes late, whether it's due to traffic or weather, but being late for over an hour is unacceptable. My family and I waited patiently for the food until everyone gets cranky due to expecting food an hour ago. No warning whatsoever leaving us wondering where he could be. We will NOT be ordering from this place again. read more

The curry for the roti was very watery, and lacked flavor. The bread was tough, thin, hard to chew. I could find better roti bread and curry for a better price in Chinatown or literally any other malay store in flushing. We ordered two haianese chicken with rice and I found multiple pieces of plastic (clear plastic and white plastic) in my rice. The order in total for two roti and two haianese chickens was $34. Not worth it. Don't come here. read more

Hainanese chicken rice and Roti Canai pretty good.

No. Cost cutting to the extreme. Poorest quality, lack of freshness, and worst cuts of meat, poultry and fish. An able chef might be able to pull it off nonetheless. Not here. Over cook and over/oddly spice everything as you will, but still it's obvious your are serving us up garbage. I am still hoping to find an around the corner restaurant in this part of Flushing to praise. Not Satay for sure. read more

Why does the woman at the restaurant always have a chip on her shoulder??? She acts like she's doing ME a favor by taking my order, unless she's got some type of partnership in this restaurant, get rid of her because she's bad for business. I know everyone has good & bad days but she seems to have a bad day everytime I see her. She should not be front of house...she would do better in the kitchen where customer service is not required. I LOVE their food though, it's sooo yummy!!! read more

Picked up my order yesterday. It's so sad how terrible the food has gotten. I used to come here for birthday celebrations but I think that Corona has hit this spot hard. They don't have anymore chicken Kebobs only beef and they taste terrible like mystery meat it kind of falls off the Kebob stick, my family couldn't even finish our orders. We also noticed the dipping sauce was extra watery. We were all very disappointed.. hoping they will make a strong comeback after this is all over. read more

This is one of our favorite place to go at least couple of times every month. The place is clean and food is tasty. We order Roti Canai, Sea Food Tom Yum soup and Pad Thai most of the time. The waiters are friendly and service is fast. One less star is because of the inconvenience for paying cash only, they should start accepting credit card, life will be much easier. read more

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. This was my first time at Satay and the waitress was nice enough to make some suggestions. We started off with the Roti Canai and the Beef Satay with peanut sauce. These were perfect to share for a group of 3 or 4. I ordered Haienese Chicken (half). The chicken rice was very flavorful. I will definitely order this again. We saw our neighbors eating a soup with pork and noddles topped with anchovies. I will try that next time. read more

I've been coming here since I was a little kid and their food has always been on point. I always order the roti! Service is great read more

So I've been here 100x. It's my go to Malaysian restaurant. I always get roti Candi and prawn mee. Something about the soup is just amazing. This time I ordered roti boom, prawn mee, spicy Thai chicken and the stir fried pearl noodles... oh yeah and the Malaysian spinach thing I always get..The food was good but the roti boom was a tad bit hard. The curry was on the cold side andddddd The spicy Thai chicken didn't come with not 1 rice? That was a little disappointing. But other than that I have to say it served its purpose. read more

Three of us dined here, now I'm not an expert on Malaysian food but luckily one of my American friends grew up in Malaysia and has a very good knowledge of the cuisine. We'd gone past Satay many times en-route to the numerous temples in the area and she'd always said this place looked good. The service was quietly efficient, it wasn't friendly but it wasn't unfriendly either. All of us enjoyed our dishes and the coconut rice went down well and I enjoyed the flavor of the tea served with the meal best. One friend said the lamb rendang was superb and the other with a less adventurous palate wanted something not spicy and the hainan chicken recommendation was just right for him. Would I eat here again, yes I would, would I try a different Malaysian place if in the mood for the countries food, yes just to see how this place compares. My friend who grew up in Malaysia was effusive in her praise. read more

This place is ok. My bf ordered a chicken and rice dish and I ordered a noodle soup. When his dish came out, it was 70% rice, 20% scallions,5% sauce, and finally 5% scraps of chicken. The chicken pieces weren't even whole! To their credit, the little scraps of chicken were very tasty but barely enough to be filling. That's kind of sad. My own dish was not bad. Flavor was decent, wasn't too oily and the noodles were actually very tasty. Maybe they were just having an off day? I'm willing to come back to give it a second try. read more

Since this place is named after the dish, I sampled both types of satay: beef and chicken. The meat and the sauce are decent, but I prefer the satay at Malay Restaurant with the slightly crunchy caramelized tips. People have good things to say about the Hainanese chicken rice, and indeed the "oil rice" itself is above average. We ordered a half chicken, and it was overcooked. My son declared it "tasteless and tough", and every piece had a significant amount of bone, as well as bone shard. Not enjoyable. We tried a couple of stir fried dishes: Kapitan and Pearl Noodles. The Kapitan Noodle was a small disaster--IMHO the reason this place averages only 3.5 stars. The taste was on the outside of the noodles (the inside was tasteless), and the rice noodles were just a little too "al dente" (something not good for rice noodles), and broken into little pieces so that there was not a single long noodle. The inside is a little run down, and this would be excusable if the food was better. Unfortunately, it is not. read more

food has downgraded, feels like the original chefs aren't working here anymore or at the moment. food tasted significantly worse, seasoning was overly salty where it should have been sweet. and to make matters worse, i was given my take out order in a plastic bag with a tear. half my food fell out on my way home! went from hangry to super saiyan in 3 seconds just like that. read more

I like this place a lot. It's in flushing but away from the congestion of the heart of flushing, which is a nightmare. Love that they give generous portions. Sure, prices went up, but who didn't! Portions stayed the same. taste really good and generous portions bring customers back. This is the only place I know that uses blood cockles in the char kuey teow...just like how it's eaten in Kuala Lumpur. Hawker dishes are tastey and it's fairly good price. It's cash only. Parking is very limited, you have to drive up to the sidewalk to park. read more

first time came here. I think the restaurant is kind of mix of Thai and Cantonese as well. food is average . price is Chinatown price. so it is good for those look for something cheap and taste not that bad. ordered Cantonese chow fun. and chicken oil rice. the grass jelly with soy milk was OK. I expect they the grass jelly home made. read more

I am super glad that this place is located in a place far, far away from the closest subway, tourist attractions or certain trendy, stylish group of people. I can't help it but have to be selfish and protective about this place. Lots of locals here and it is constantly busy with customers in and out. Food is always good. Period. read more

The captain noodles were really good minus the squid. My girlfriend wasnt a big fan of the squid with it. The coffee tea drink was sweet & really good The roti tissue looks great & tastes good too. The chili chicken was good too. Overall a good experience, im not sure how authentic as im not chinese Malaysian but im definitely coming back read more

Rude service, for a party of five they came over and demanded more tip on top of what we'd left. The waitress's sour attitude was a downer. Food was underwhelming. There are many better options in Flushing. read more

Dirty...food had a white worm string that still was moving. ALSO, they charge tip without stating so on menu...then they cover it up if you complain and give you another receipt to cover their tracks. Abrupt and rude, and they only accept cash? Shady place. read more

The food here is delicious! We ordered Hainanese Chicken, which was silky smooth, bean sprouts, Oyster Omelette filled with juicy oysters, and satay tofu, which was crispy and tasty. We also took away nasi lemak and some Malaysian sweet desserts: "ang koo" steamed cake, containing palm sugar flavored coconut filling. I'd highly recommend this place- simple, casual place for some delicious food. The staff were also super-friendly! I'm Malaysian, and I'm amazed that the chef can hit all the favourites so well! read more

This is a great and authentic (actually not sure because I am not Malaysian lol) Malaysian restaurant. Came here for a family gathering and ordered a variety of food, including curry lamb, clams tom yum, baby oyster soup, Singapore fried mee hoon, sarang burung, hainanese chicken, bean curd with fish head and tooting in casserole. Family reaches the consensus that sarang burung is the best and fried mee hoon the second. Rest of the meal is also good. Will come back again! (Not 5 stars because this is a cash-only restaurant) read more

Food was very good. Place is a little run down inside, the pictures on line are not what they seem. Did not like that the tried to scam me with the sales tax. They added a sales tax amount that was totally incorrect and when questioned claimed the tip was included. Be aware of your bill and pay attention . The are a bit dishonest when comes to the bill. read more

Although this place is pretty small - so small that sometimes I am tempted to just reach over and grab some food from my neighbor - the food is pretty good. They have a very long menu and a lot of very authentic dishes representing traditional Chinese and Malaysian fare. Along with the Meegoreng ($7) and the Hainanese Chicken over rice with cucumbers ($5), there are so many dishes to choose from. We usually start with the Roti Canai which has some indian flair made up of really light and flaky dough that is dipped in chicken curry sauce usually with a piece of chicken and potato included in the bowl. If you have to go with one appetizer, this is the one. There's also a sweet version that is kind of coated in sugar but definitely you need to try to Roti Canai - at $3.50 or $3.85, I could eat two of these as a meal - but who am I kidding, I'm greedier than a hungry hippo ( I said greedier, not as big as one so stop wipe that grin off!). If you want another starter, get the Satay Bean Curd or Satay Chicken to share - it's lightly fried tofu or skewered grilled chicken with a peanut dipping sauce. If you aren't worried about being classy, you can use those sticks that was filled with pieces of meat to pick your teeth later on, but I find that unecessary cause in this place, the food usually goes straight down and rarely touches my teeth. If you're a woman, maybe you can use them to hold up your hair like Chun-Li did in the video game Street Fighter instead of digging around for a pencil. YATAH!!!! If you've never had Hainanese chicken you have to order it. It's basically very tender steamed chicken with bone and skin on over sliced cucumbers and covered in a light and sweet soy sauce. It's served with a bowl of chicken flavored rice. Man, we should all be so lucky to live so close to this place. We've also tried the noodle soup with prawns and vegetables and that is also really good but way to hot for the summer time. Last time we got the salt and pepper fried squid which was $10.95. It was one of the pricier dishes on the menu but it was done pretty well - a little peppery but otherwise I liked it. Sometimes we also get this bird's nest dish made up of a bowl made of fried taro - ohhhhh man it's really good. For my Pinoy or Manila brothers, you know what I'm talking about - the stuff that makes taboing necessary since it sticks to your ribs like nothing else. Anyway, this fried taro nest is filled with stir fried vegetables, sometimes meat, and sometimes seafood. It's really good and a great dish to split amongst several people. As for drinks, we usually get the Malaysian Iced Tea or Iced Coffee which is strong flavored drinks, smothered and sweetened with condensed milk. Don't put extra sugar - it will be enough. If you have room for dessert and it's rather warm out, try to shaved ice. We prefer it with red bean, condensed milk and some fruit like lychee or longan, but ask them what they have. There are just so many dishes to choose from, seriously - I go there often and even I try to get there early because looking at their menu is like doing a book report in 2nd grade the night before it's due on the mutations and homeo migrations of the earth worm and his cousins in Antartica - your eyes just basically start to glaze over after a while. The only thing I don't care for is that they don't take plastic. I either saving up for a trip around the world or trying to figure out a way to pay for my mortgage in hotel points and I'm short a few miles and points this month so the fact that they don't take credit cards kind of irks me a bit but it's still worth it. And they have a few parking spots so I guess I can forgive them for now. Enjoy folks. read more

I love, love, love this place! The fast service, the food, the portions, the flavors, and the price! Just so delicious! We always get the same things - roti canai, roti tissue (sweet, buttery, crunchy deliciousness), satay. coconut calamari, Hinanese chicken, hainanese rice, the singapore noodles... yesterday we tried the pork with preserved cabbage (I wanted something that reminded me of Taiwan), and the shaved ice. A feast for a family of 5? 6? Three people, wolfed it down. Their take-out's great too... the flavor doesn't change too much. read more

Restaurant advertises to sell Malaysian dishes but when I ordered Mee Rebus and Satay, both taste nothing like Malaysian dishes. In fact, it tasted really weird and strange for my native tongue (I grew up in Singapore and ate Singapore-Malaysian food my whole life). The Mee Rebus was so sweet that I almost spit it out. The Satay tasted sweet too, the meat was tough, and portion was so tiny. For a satay dish (4 skewers with 4 pieces of meat per stick) for almost $10, with such weird taste, it is considered really expensive and unfilling. My friend ordered a Hainanese chicken rice: they served us a chicken rice with more chicken fat than chicken meat, so much so that my friend had to keep spitting out the fat as she ate. On top of that, instead of selling both as one dish, they sold the rice separately, which is ridiculous! I tasted my friend's dish which also had weird taste, not even close to the delicious one sold in Singapore and Malaysia. Very disappointed to say the least. Even our appetizer, Roti Canai, tasted like it has been dipped in sugar. The original Roti Canai is supposed to be savory with many layers and onion-flavored but this one is so sweet, one-layered, and no onion or Indian spices at all! In fact, all the dishes my friends and I ate are super sweet. On top of that, none of the staff are from Malaysia or Singapore, or speak the native tongue. It seems like these are folks from China trying to imitate Malaysian/Singaporean food but fail miserably. For the quality of the food I received, the prices are considered extremely expensive. What was worse, I was forced hand them a 20% tip even after I had fully paid for the entire dinner otherwise, I cannot leave the restaurant (they prevented me from leaving). Definitely would NOT recommend coming there ever if you want authentic Malaysian dish. read more
