We ordered food delivery from this restaurant for the first time. There are both Malaysian and Chinese menus. Both are extensive. From the Chinese menu we had wanton soup (one of my “test dishes”) and curry with mixed vegetables soup. The wonton soup was good and the curry vegetable soup was really good– flavorful and with the vegetables cooked, but not overcooked. Although it was marked as “hot and spicy”, I found the heat level to be moderate, and I’m not a fan of mouth-blasting food. There is a good selection of Chinese appetizers – rolls, dumplings, sesame and peanut noodles, and pancakes, one intriguingly described as “Indian pancake”. Chinese-American classics are on the “Chef’s Specialties” list. There are also items I haven’t seen before: Trengganu chicken, a curry and Tofu Nyonya, for instance. We had the curry beef (is that Chinese?). It reminded me of a London or Glasgow curry house offering. There are lots of vegan choices, as well as noodles and noodle soups. You get the picture. The Malasian menu is intriguing. I had a seafood dish I would order again. To judge from the descriptions, there is an Indian influence here. I can’t comment on ambiance, decor, table service, or cleanliness because we had delivery. However, the food arrived hot and ten minutes earlier than promised.

Ive been going here for over 10 years. Their quality has slowly been going down for years now. Honestly I am so disappointed tonight. The rice that came with the meal, the container wasn't even full, and it was just rice. The rice in the other dish was mushy like it was old. And 20$ for a few pieces of chicken worth 7$. So sad. They haven't updated the place in a decade and have been slowly squeezing it for more profit until they eventually give up or whatever. Never ordering from here again, its time for them to retire. The quantities and quality have been going down for years, and now they don't even fill up the rice container anymore. I was SHOCKED. Do yourself a favor and go to one of the other 1000 restaurants in Hoboken.

Food is good, one of the best lamb and shrimp dishes. Service is helpful but a little too pushy for me ( turn over of tables , metropolitan) hard to get answer on menu question. Typical Asian decor, metro style. I go there for the food for years and the consistency is there!

10/10/23 first time here.BYO & no cork fee.We were excited to try this place. Quaint and small tables. We had a Roti curry appetizer and chicken w/noodles dish, both really good.We had the seafood lovers special, which was perfectly lightly fried but lacked creativity, no sauce or anything to go on it. Although the lightly salted flavor was good. Only two scallops and 3 shrimp, the rest was squid. The rice was good.Friendly people working there, service was good.Next time: more noodles!
Super tasty food. OK service (they know their place works, so there is no extra effort to smile or welcome guests, its rather cold service!), smallish portion sizes for the price point, small space(so often feels cramped)All the four stars go towards the tasty food. We tried Roti Cana, Pad Thai, Kari Sayur. All were made fresh, pipping hot and tasty.

Cute spot we stumbled upon. Service was very quick and the food was good. The roti with the chicken curry appetizer was delicious. Seafood lover plate was good as well as the basil beef ( didn't have much basil flavor and tasted more like a beef and broccoli with a higher price tag). We were in and out in about 25 minutes. 3.5 overall so revisit to try their curries.

This place is adorable on the inside. I’ve walked past thousands of times - don’t be like me. Go in! Had the spring rolls, malaysian fried noodles, and sizzling tofu. All super delicious and satisfying. They were offering a 10% discount on cash transactions, fyi.
This is a small restaurant but they did have one big table in the back. We tried various types of noodles, had the famous taro nest -abc?, chicken casserole, Malay style chicken - comes with dips, curry roti was a must! Light and fluffy. We have been here several times and tried lunch and dinner type foods. It appears that no matter what you try, it's going to be tasty!!

Literally the worst food I’ve had this year. Wish I could get my money back. I was hungry but couldn’t eat anything but the salad…which was just ok. I threw the rest of it in the trash. And for me..who was taught to never waste food…that was a big move. I don’t usually write reviews but this place was so so so so bad I wanted to warn anyone else. Don’t eat here. Horrible. Very bad.

The food is good here. But they have horrible service and hospitality.We were having appetizer and my husband was still working on it and they came up to the table to clear it out, even took the cutlery from my husband's hand despite him still eating.Same happened after we had our main course. They are in so much rush of clearing the table and kick people out of the restaurant and not at all apologetic about this behavior!The most ridiculous is they add 15% gratuity by default. Though no wonder given their service, no one would like to tip them!

Good food. Substantial portions. 10% discount if you pay cash! Definitely need to try this authentic Malaysian restaurant.

Food was delicious but the service was very poor. Waitress was very rude. I'd only do take away from now on.
