We had a wonderful dining experience at Rasa. We ordered the Massaman curry, roti canai, and nasi kerabu—each dish brought back memories of the local flavors we enjoyed in Malaysia. We also loved chatting with the owner, Kenny, who has plenty of fascinating stories to share. The service staff were attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Rasa is definitely a place we look forward to returning to on our next visit.

Ordered curry laksa but it was too oily and nowhere close to what we used to get in singapore. Had high hopes.

genuinely wonderful spot!!! we easily got a table for 4 during peak hours on a Friday night. the nasi lemak was delicious and the roti canai was so incredible I got another order to go. later in the night a bar refused me entry unless I threw it away so I literally cut my night short to protect this $10 roti canai, it was that good! this was my friends’ first introduction to malaysian food and needless to say they are all massive fans now!!!

It’s a delightful place with delicious and authentic (my Singaporean friend confirmed) restaurant. The food was perfectly spiced and well presented. The server was quick and courteous. I will come back again.

The waiter were caring and attentive. The ambiance was fantastic. The only thing was the food. Some of the blandest food I have ever had. I couldn't finish my meal, nor could my friends.
I believe this cuisine does not suit our south Asian pallette. However, we are all extremely adventurous and have eaten many different types of food.
The soup was basically what I imagine people in the great depression ate, boiled cabbage water. That was the wonton soup.

My friend and I came here on Xmas Eve. This was my first time trying Malaysian food. We were greeted and got a table right away I ordered the hot ginger and she ordered the Thai ice tea. For the appetizer, we had the dancing fries and chicken satay. The spicy mayo/curry dip was so delicious! It paired really well with the fries. The chicken satay was tasty and the peanut sauce was a nice touch. It was my first time having both appetizers. For the main dish I had the drunken noodles with shrimp. I had Thai drunken noodles before. I enjoyed my meal. My friend had Nasi lemak with curry chicken. She was not a fan of the anchovies in it and I believe they had it grounded up as well as fried. I would suggest you ask them to not add it if you do order this. I did not see dessert on the menu. I would def recommend the fries and drunken noodles.

It’s hard to find Indonesian food outside of Queens, we randomly walked by Rasa during the holidays and we had amazing Indonesian fried chicken and Laksa! Great spot and lovely people!
Great food! Really amazing table service as well, the staff was nice and responsive to out table the entire night.
The curry with roti was soooo good!! The Lychee Sakeitini is sneaky but highly recommended, the other drinks werent decent IMO but I had my favorite.

Food was just ok… the char Kway teow lunch special serving size is about half of what a usual serving is.
