Be aware of the short hair (boy cut) lady who will either secrectly add 18% tip into the bill or stand right beside you when you are paying to make sure that you pay 18% tip. She doesnt understand the fact that tip is earned but not begged. She gave 10% service but asked for 18% tips. When you gave something below 18%, she shouted at you being cheap while in fact she is the greedy and cheap one acting like a rude beggar. This business will not be there for long because they are pushing customers away.

Customers, beware! These tip beggars demand large tips despite providing terrible service and maintaining an unhygienic environment. There were food scraps from previous diners all over the place, and we even found a rock in our food. Despite the awful experience, we still left a $2 tip out of courtesy, yet instead of appreciation, they yelled at us. Perhaps their boss is exploiting illegal workers, or they simply don’t understand that tipping is optional. Either way, we’ll be taking our business elsewhere.

Got their whole Hainan chicken to go, chicken didn’t have any flavor and wasn’t very fresh. Thinking about the timing, believe my family might have gotten the stomach flu after eating Hainan chicken. I wish I saw more of the reviews before eating here, didn’t know they had a roach problem.

Must renovate the place. Everything is very old and cleanliness must be improved. This, I think because the place is very old. Butbfood is great and. Service is fast.

Coming here is a trip down memory lane as my family regularly ate here in the 90s when we would trek out to Flushing for a full day of errands. It was our reward before the long drive home. Of course over time the chefs and preparation of the dishes have changed. I can’t fault them for things not tasting like they used to, I’m nostalgic for something that can’t be replicated. It is still hits the spot though and satisfies that tasty rice craving. I hope this place continues to thrive as we certainly don’t need more fast food chains erasing our food memories.

Had the Hainanese chicken and Roti Canai here—both were delicious! The chicken was tender with fragrant rice, and the bun came warm and fluffy with a rich curry filling. Cozy, casual spot that feels like a true taste of Malaysia in Flushing. Great comfort food and friendly service!

Having lived in Malaysia for two years, and being convinced that Malaysian food is the best in the world, Malay Restaurant in Flushing did NOT disappoint! Especially tasty was the Chow Kway Teow. Sedap sekali!
Malay Restaurant showed why it deserves its good reputation. This place serves good meals at fair prices. This restaurant satisfies on all fronts. The restaurant staff exceeds service expectations. Long lines are worth it for more visits here.

Iconic mom-and-pop Chinese Malaysian place with a charcoal grill in the front. Though it's likely a source of much tension with the department of health, I've never been to a restaurant with a charcoal grill in the dining room that isn't awesome. Malay is no exception. Definitely get the skate and the sambal water spinach. The sambal fish (deep fried and stuffed with the spicy, shrimpy ferment) is also great.

Solid hole in the wall restaurant. Prices very affordable and flavors are good. Restaurant looks like it hasn't been renovated since it opened, which is not a minus to me. Restaurants that can withstand the test of time without changing rate higher in my mind.
