"Came here out of curiosity. Been craving Malaysian food and options are VERY slim. For the longest time Satay in Hoboken was the only game around short of traveling into the city. I’ve traveled to Malaysia myself and have tried everything from street foodand hawker stalls to nicer sit down restaurants so I’d like to think I have a pretty good idea what Malaysian food should belike. I was pleasantly surprised to find the taste and quality to be quite good. I ordered the following Roti canai the roti(crepe) was great! A touch too crispy but that is a minor gripe. Overall the quality of the roti is very very good. The currysauce was also very good, just mildly spicy, nothing too overwhelming. Beef rendang (lunch special) let me get this out ofthe way and say rendang is pretty hard to get right in general (especially with beef). Taste wise it’s just the right level ofspicy and savory. A touch salty but I’m a lot more sensitive to salt than most. My only critique is that I wish the beef werejust a bit more tender (some pieces were but others weren’t). Overall, I’d def order it again as it still satisfied mycraving and gets most of the way there. Portion was also just right for lunch especially with an app. Note: lunch special camewith a spicy chicken soup which was really good! Thai iced tea just right, not too sweet, and not watery. If I had to ask formore it would just be a bit more tea but my preference is always stronger tea flavor. Would order again. I will definitely beback to try more of the menu and plan to bring my family and friends in time. The staff are quick and courteous and the diningroom is clean. Lots of take out orders."
