There are glowing reviews of this place and I can’t fathom why. The atmosphere was okay, very little ambiance and dare I say inhospitable. The service was okay. Server came around once to drop off food then never returned. Those things I can ignore, but the food. Boy o’ boy was the food lacklustre. There was little heat and salt so in general, tasteless. Oddly, some parts of the dish were hot and some were warm. The shrimp wontons were over done and warm at best. They seemed to be pre-made and frozen.
Honestly, this is the second location I’ve been to and both have been subpar experiences. They market the food items as being premium given the price, but there’s nothing premium about the experience. I probably won’t be heading to another of these restaurants.

22 % tips for group of people? That is insane. Order the $30 sampler it was rip off and the presentation was pathetic. Food was standard overall not recommended because of the tip issue and feeling like being robbed. Look.at the Currey beef dish on the picture and you tell me how horrible the presentation and making me feel like we are begging for their food. For the restaurant: if you are not ready to offer good quality and good value Sampler dish on your menu and please don't because it will ruin your reputation and the 22% Tips is a robbery and the is illegal and you will create a bad Karma for your business. We know people need to make a profit and living but that is absolutely unacceptable. Good luck of your business

Really really good all-around! The Roti Canai especially was very tasty! Portions are really good for the price. I will remember this place for sure and hopefully come here again.

We ordered takeaway. I remember going to banana leaf In kits years ago and being blown away by the food. Tonight the food was underwhelming, not the flavours or quality I remember. It's really too bad. I'm not sure if there is a difference between locations or if the food has just changed a lot. We ordered the mango prawns and half the mango were quite under ripe. The curry chicken did not taste at all of lemongrass and the chicken was big chunks of dry meat. The coconut rice was plain rice, not coconut. The beef skewers were tasty but small for the price. The roti canai was the best part of the whole meal. The staff were friendly at pickup and the atmosphere in the restaurant looked good.

Chicken skewer 🍡 appetizer for $8 wasn't a good value. Don't recommend.
Main dishes were good

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.
Tasty food - make sure try the beef rendang and satay skewers. Service was good and fast!

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.
