The food and service was pretty good. The restaurant was spacious and sits comfortable. We had the non tradition hoi Nam chicken. It was roasted instead of the regular blanch. The roti and curry Brisket was good, wish there were more pcs of brisket and without the big potatoes.. We also had the chicken satay, it was tender and juicy. The mixed.meat rice noodle was tasty too, except there were too much sauce and the noodle was swimming in it.
Unfortunately Google does not have half star option but I will say it is 3.5 stars. Would have been four stars if not for some misses with a few items we ordered.It is not often I see prawn soup noodle here and I say it is pretty well done. I totally agree with one of the reviewer. There is not enough soup for the amount of noodles.Love the satay even if it went cold. The taste and charred texture on the outside reminds me of Indonesian ayam bakar.A friend who missed Ipoh hor fun liked the dish. I like that they added green chilli on the side that I am used to having with this dish. Teh Tarik was good too. Tasted better than another place that I know of.Unfortunately, some of the main dish was a miss. Starting from sambal stir fry mixed vegetables. It tasted decent but the sambal, which I was looking forward to, was quite disappointing. Though I can taste shrimp but there is no kick in spiciness at all. Just too sweet in my opinion. I was craving for good sambal belachan but I am not getting it.For lor bak, we think the five spice seasoning came in too strong, the filling felt too simple ( I thought they should at least have prawns and water chestnuts mixed in). Curry puff didn’t taste hand made. Too bad.Despite some of the misses, I still think it is worth another visit to try something else to see how it fare
the beef rendang & roti is a perfect combination. sooo good
John 3:16 has always been my favourite from the time I lived in Richmond. Real authentic Malaysian food which suits my palette of South Asian taste. Broadway restaurant is located veey close to No. 9 bus stop and a decent neighbourhood with nice ambiance. I felt more spacious and friendly here. Taste 8/10. Nice cozy music and prices are extremely affordable, compared to the Banana Leaf.
Tried this location a week after the Richmond location. I ordered the same dishes = Beef Rangdang and Beef Satay. Portions were still large :) I found that both dishes are less sweeter than the Richmond location so you can really taste the flavours. The beef is delicious! I personally prefer it less sweet just like this location. We also had their famous hainanese chicken chicken and it didn’t disappoint so you must try it. The dinning experience itself was great and much bigger than the Richmond location. We went there are around 7:30 p.m on a Thursday evening and it was not too busy. There’s a couple of parking spots at the back entrance in the back!
We love Malaysian food. Used to go to B…..L… but once we discovered John 3:16 this became the preferred place for our consistently well prepared and presented Malaysian favourites - especially for take out. Have never experienced dine in so cannot comment on table service or ambience. Good sized portions at reasonable prices. The rendang beef is melt in your mouth deliciousness. Perfectly puffed roti. Flavours and colours are outstanding. Try it and see for yourself. Order lots…there’ll be no leftovers.
I've been here a couple of times now and each time, they never fail to impress. I've only been for lunch so far, but the portions are generous and the flavours are explosive. My favourite is their laksa and my friends really enjoyed the Mee goreng and hainanese chicken.The service is always really great. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Great place to come for lunch! Will be back to try their other dishes!
The Beef Rendang was tender, tasty, and not skimpy in portion.The Assam Curry Mixed Veg (eggplant, okra, fried tofu) was good but too sweet. We asked for chili peppers which helped.The Roti Canai was on the sweeter side but the dipping sauce was very tasty. Came with potatoes on the side.The Tamarind Fish Curry with okra had a delicious tangy sour curry. This curry was my favorite; however, the fish was very battered and fried to oblivion so quite bland.It took awhile for the rice to come and we asked for it 3 times. Good but not in a hurry to return.
Hands down the best roti place that I have ever tried. The chicken and beef skewers were also one of the best since it was really juicy, however it is on the thicker side. Felt like the green bean sauce was way to strong and overpowered the dish. The rest of the dishes tasted average.
We came on a Friday and there were lots of spots available. I wish I could give them a 3.5 on here. The service was really quick and really good. Our waters were never empty and they always came to ask about the food.We ordered the roti canai, laksa and the char kway teow.The roti canai was the highlight of the meal. It was crispy, flaky and had lots of layers. The dipping sauce went well with it and although the flavour was not too strong but the roti canai was very delicious. Would recommend.Laksa - I like that you can choose what kind of noodles to get. We got the mixed noodles. The soup was on the sweeter side. Not much coconut flavour but very sweet. Very little seafood flavour.Char Kway Teow - not overly sweet or salty. Missing that wok hei (fire flavour) but very generous with the portion.Overall: I would come back to try their other items like the Hainan chicken and the satay. But based on the items I had I would have to give it a 3.5/5 for now. Get the roti canai
