Fantastic restaurant with a great atmosphere. Sometimes they have big potted pepper plants that are beautiful and well cared for. All the food is flavorful and delicious. The menu is not just Malaysian, there is food from all over southeast Asia. I could be mistaken but I think the owners and some of the staff are Singaporean. The price can be a little higher than similar restaurants in the Triangle but it is worth it, especially if you are dining in.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options.

This was a very nice dinner experience and loved tasting the delicious Malaysian food. Recommend the roti canai with curry ayam, beef rendang, sambal oeleck fish, and sago pudding. The flavors of the curry were impeccable. Casual yet nice ambience of the restaurant.

This place is wonderful. The service is the best and the place makes you feel like family. I come here regularly so everyone always knows my order but I’m sure all the customers get this great kind of service. The food is really excellent and always comes out pretty quickly. Fresh veggies and delicious food. My favorite are the sizzling beef and all the appetizers. The steak is flavored well and super hearty with excellent portions. I LOVE this PLACE!!

I've wanted to try this place for years and finally did with my girlfriend who lived in Singapore for years. Walking in, us fifty year olds were the youngest people in the joint. The service was very quick, super friendly, and attentive. The ambiance/environment is good. The tables are not crowded, there is bar seating as well as a patio, and the noise level was good. We kept commenting on to each other about the eclectic mix of background music and left to dig deeper into classic country and oldies hits. The food was downright epic! Whatever top menu tofu, shrimp, and coconut udon noodle thing we had was beyond delicious. BEYOND. The chicken and bok choy in a white glaze was amazing. I also cant remember what the tofu appetizer was called with shredded veggies on top but I would give you my pet for a lifetime supply. The cocktails even were just... wow. And for what they charge!!!??? This place is downright divine. Highly recommended.

Kid-friendliness: Spacious and not too stuffy to bring the kids along. If you've ever gone out to east in SE Asia, you know the workers will flock to dote over any young human. I imagine they are super welcome of kids here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Its ground floor and right on the sidewalk. Tables are spaced well. You can easily get to the patio if someone held the automatic door.

This was my first time at Rasa Malaysia. Our waitress had recommended the perfect dishes. She was so sweet and happy that we were there. Our food was so delicious. I will definitely be back. Thank you for having gluten free option. I got shrimp vegetable delight and the fried fish filet with coconut sauce. The French Martini was amazing. I wish I had enough room for dessert.

The chicken lettuce wrap and chicken satay were both superb! We will definitely come back again to try their other dishes. The service was very attentive without being overbearing. We arrived just before closing and the manager was so kind to stay open for us.

Stopped here on our way back from the mountains. Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff and delicious food. I had a chicken satay and it was easily one of the best I ever had. If only it was closer to home! Highly recommended.

I have a summer home in Southern Village and this is clearly my go to Restaurant! I love Simon, Penny and all the staff. The food is always good and if I am meeting up with friends for lunch from another area, they always want to go to this restaurant. My daughter and her husband, and three grandchildren also love this restaurant. I like eating inside, but it is very special for Sunday nights when there’s music on the green and I can enjoy outside, even bring my dog and have a lovely meal

We eat at Rasa Malaysia a lot. We love sitting in the cozy indoor dining in the winter or the beautiful tucked away patio in the summer. My 11 year old son literally begs for me to get their Thai fried rice all the time. I love mi goreng and of course the classic pad Thai. The owner is wonderful and it’s such a rare treat to eat at a place where the owner is there making sure food and service are always great. He will make sure they leave certain things out for my kids (our me:) and that we get everything just the way we like it. With so many corporate options taking over I love that I have a great independently owned authentic Malaysian restaurant so close!

Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options and the owner modifies dishes for us easily.

Kid-friendliness: They have always been warm and welcoming to my children and always modify the Thai fried rice for them. I’m sure they would modify other dishes too. I have never hesitated to bring my kids and it’s my 11 year old son’s favorite place to get Thai fried rice. The chicken satay is also a decent option for kids who want something simple. When it’s warm we sit in the patio with the kids.
