Been here twice during quick layovers at YVR, I can’t wait to come back! It definitely satisfies my cravings, especially when I haven’t seen my mum in awhile. The Ipoh hor fun and chicken rice are great! I’ve been taking the curry puff to go for a snack while travelling!

We enjoyed a lunch of Ipoh Char Hor Fun, Sayur Lemak and Lor Bak rolls, and every dish was flavourful, fresh tasting, nicely spiced and satisfying. Service was friendly, attentive and efficient. The restaurant location is conveniently central, with ample parking, but in an area undergoing redevelopment. Highly recommended, for delicious and well-served Malaysian cuisine!

Very authentic Malaysian taste!
We ordered the kari laksa which was very good, the broth was thick and strong in flavor. The nasi lemak was good too but the barbeque or fried chicken that came with it was a bit sweet.

Must admit the hananese chicken with rice dish was great even though I was skeptical and didn't think it would be so soft and tender. The flavors were great and perfect portion size. Also tried the durian pulat which was fine too

Overall, everything was excellent. I chose the heavier-flavoured dishes, and they were all very nice. The restaurant vibe is good and you can tell all the guests seemed very satisfied with their food and drinks.

2025.10.01 First time visiting a Malaysian restaurant, wanting the flavors without the spicy heat. Upon entry by the entrance, there's a QR code to scan with your smartphone to be placed on a waiting list to be seated. Once you are seated, there's a tablet to use for entering your order. There's no explanation of the food or spiciness levels on the tablet.

The food is very good tasting, bold flavors, along with more neutral taste of choices of rice to help bring the palate back to a neutral state.

Their roti canai was an absolute delight, freshly made, still very warm, soft, airy. Tear off a piece of warm roti, dip it in the sauce provided, then coat it with sugar, and taste.

Their ginger garlic fish has a choice on the tablet upon ordering of either spicy or not spicy; came with a strong tasting sauce, it was also delightful with a protein.

The Sambal mixed vegetables had eggplant, green beans, okra. I didn't care for the slimy taste from the okra, so I'd avoid this dish in the future and select only the green beans.

Hainan flavored rice was chosen as a neutral base to cleanse the tongue back to neutral. The Malaysian coffee was nice, the Malaysian Iced Tea was overly sweet.

I can taste here why it is so popular and definitely recommended. No free WiFi, add 2% for a credit card charge.

Bought takeout for Hainanese chicken. Not only is the portion very small, the chicken is soggy and old. Rice is clumped together wet like congee. Long wait for service. Very disappointed.

Food is incredible, full of variety and the renovations have improved the atmosphere a-lot compared to recent years.
