Very quiet restaurant.
Fast and pleasant service.

The goreng tofu didn't wow me.
On the other hand, I really liked the pineapple seafood chicken fried rice, especially since the dish is very hearty.

It is undoubtedly a very good option to eat and taste Malaysian dishes. The service is very good and the food has amazing flavors. Very good prices. You can get parking on Davie Street.

Done with these guys. I know ordering Door Dash I am not expecting 5 star dining but it’s like they couldn’t care less. Ordered the Mango Chili prawns……no chili was harmed in the making of this dish, plus all the mango still had the green skin on….really???? Ordered the wok fried egg plant, has a 96% approval on DoorDash, wow purple slime that tasted of oil, no garlic, ginger, not even a hint of salt, no seasoning of any sorts. You want an awesome eggplant dish, go to Hestia on Davie st, amazing Eggplant hotpot, even with delivery. I don’t usually post reviews but after spending $140.00, I felt the need to say something……wait I will say the Roti was as usual very good.

I dine at this restaurant often. The food is great! On this visit and only this visit I had a very poor experience. I ordered the Mee Goreng and decided to add chicken. When I got my meal I noticed that there were only a few small pieces of chicken,, the rest was tofu which came with the meal.

I sent my meal back and to my surprise was told that the three pieces of chicken were correct. I felt bad for the server, he was kind and also agreed with me that it didn’t seem like a lot of chicken. It was odd to me that I was offered to order a different meal from the menu instead of just giving me a few more pieces of chicken.

I’m sure if management took the time to come and speak with me they would have recognized me as a regular customer.

I asked for the owners name and they gave me an email that would just end up in managements inbox. Super disappointing. I bring my entire family to this restaurant when they come to Vancouver twice a year. I/We will not return, upsetting to say the least.

Pay attention to the specials and the sign outside. $15 curry is a really good deal that's not on the website

Service was very friendly and understanding that I couldn't handle spicy. Water refilled regularly. Also food came in reasonable portions

Very good Malaysian food. I really enjoy. Would definitely comeback

Vegetarian options: Lots of salads and curry dishes with no meat

It had some good reviews on Google and TripAdvisor, but was it really true? Yes, indeed. Not a lot of street appeal, but welcoming, proficient, professional and reasonably polished while retaining a "mom and pop" kind of atmosphere.
We had the 9 course special. Great selection of goodies; if you don't like them all, order a few with friends and pick and choose your favorites as they come to the table.
Portion were generous - don't order more than one entree unless you plan to leave something behind or can accept a take-out box.
The only 4-star rating is the neighborhood, I wouldn't hang out here after midnight (much like much of Gastown).
