In Philly for the weekend and needed a Sunday evening cozy dinner for my family including a 10 and 8 year old. The service was quick and congenial.
We ordered - the Chicken Mango (not spicy), the chicken Satay, the Pineapple Fried Rice and the Malaysian Greens.
The fried banana for dessert was delicious.
Everything was great.
It is BYOB .

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Chinatown! We had the roti canai as appetizer and the nasi lemak as our main meal. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the service was very fast.

Don’t be fooled if you come into this place and it’s empty.

I came in here with my girlfriend and we were served hot, delicious food. I had the char kueh teow and it can go toe to toe with char kueh teow from a Kuala Lumpur hawker. I hereby certify this joint as a Malaysian!

This place is ok. When you enter it feels like it is still under construction.
The service is ok. Food is good. The portion is ok for the price.
The Haianese chicken was good, but the rice just doesn’t taste like it would normally would.

Pretty run down place. Food was pretty mediocre. Can easily skip this as a dining option as there are plenty of other options in the vicinity

I had been unfamiliar with Malaysian food, and found the restaurant a wonderful experience. The staff were professional and friendly willing to help us understand the offerings and make suggestions. The food was delicious and felt like it was an upscale version of the cook's family favorites. Incredibly bright and flavorful. We plan to return. A true delight.

Beautiful interiors. Great menu plenty of vegetarian options. Reasonably priced. They didn't know the exact contents of their vegetable dumplings as they buy from outside which is a bit concerning , if you want to check for allergies. Food was tasty.

Crazy yummy red curry casserole was to DIE for. Honestly super delicious food. Also, the cheesy decor brings it all together! I will definitely be coming back.

The curry w/ chicken & potato was too water down and not enough coconut milk. We also ordered the pad Thai which took forever to come out and when it did came out it’s was too bland and not enough tamarind in it. Not one person stopped or apologized for the late order. I lost my appetite and we ended up packing it up to go.
