Been to several Malaysian restaurant and theirs is just typical, no special about it.
This is a Malaysian spot in Chinatown serving a bunch of street-style foods, desserts, and some drinks. I got the mee goreng (noodles) and they weren’t greasy. The tofu / tofu skin was fried nicely and a bit chewy. Good food.

Kopitiam is a bustling restaurant where guests order and pay at the counter before being served at their tables. The nasi lemak is a standout dish, featuring salty fried anchovies, peanuts, cucumbers, and a soy sauce egg. Although a customer noted that the rice was a little dry, they loved the dish overall and would return. The teh tarik is served uniquely in a drink bag with a straw, while the kaya toast is generously stuffed with jam.
The atmosphere is lively, with a playlist of Chinese pop songs adding to the experience. A customer enjoyed the iced Salted Bek-Kopi and Hor KaShai, highlighting the good value offered by the "Kopitiam Classics" set menu. The diverse menu provides a contemporary introduction to Malaysian cuisine, with popular dishes like Pann Mee, Char kway teow, and Hainan chicken rice. One reviewer found the char kway teow flavorful even after taking it home to Brooklyn, while they also enjoyed the honeycomb cake.
With great coffee and dessert options, Kopitiam is a must-visit for those looking to explore Malaysian food in a tasty, cool, and casual atmosphere.
