Best food ever! Best roti canai and char kwey teo in North America.

The food was absolutely phenomenal and the Roti Kani is a must have (they have a vegetarian and non vegetarian options for it). The serving sizes were also very generous and the prices weren't too crazy. The service was a little slow but we did go at a super busy time. The staff was also super nice and considerate of dietary restrictions. Definitely a great Malaysian spot to visit.

Great food. And service. !!

My husband and I have ordered takeout before, and have never been disappointed. We decided to go in to try the food fresh, and it was such a pleasant experience! Our waiter was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome right away. He gave us some great recommendations. The place was pretty crowded on a Wednesday, which to me was a good sign. We ordered the mixed satay, chicken curry w/ onions, and a beef dish recommended by our waiter. Everything was really delicious. Our only complaint was that our entrees arrived before our appetizers, but we didn’t care too much because it was all so tasty. At the end of our meal the staff was really attentive about providing take out boxes, and as we left, multiple staff members gave us a genuine thank you. Overall, we’ve been converted to regulars! Don’t hesitate to try this place!

Really good food! If you like Asian food highly recommend!

My friend and I went to eat there, my friend food came and while I waited for mine I watched several Chinese people come in and get their food while I still waited for mine. My friend finished his plate, and I still had no food, only a bowl of coconut rice. I was told service is usually great here, so please don't go solely on my experience. The waiter was pleasant, but someone dropped the ball on my order.

The tableware didn't seem to be washed clean. There were black stains. The dishes tasted much worse than what I ate in other Malay restaurants

One of my favorite restaurants. I’m actually a regular here. I am here atleast once a month. I sit literally at the same table. The staff is sweet and very kind. Their price ranges are great. For both of these I paid under $30 and still was so full I had to take them home. They have authentic Malaysian cuisine. Super yummy!!

I miss living in Philly just so I could eat here. It's always busy here with people waiting outside in the rain just to get their food. They greet you immediately when you enter, seat you, and bring you hot jasmine tea. They're attentive with service, but they give you plenty of space. The restaurant is big as far as Philly restaurants go, but if you can't get a seat takeout is your next best bet. The food comes out hot, fresh, and quick.Do yourself a favor and order your own roti canai because you will not want to share. The chicken is tender and chopped into bite sized pieces with soft potato for flavor and texture. My favorite dish is the noodles with salted fish, but everything here is delicious. This is the best Malaysian food stateside and you should try everything on the menu.

We wanted to try Malaysian because we really love Thai food and wanted a different experience. The waiter was nice but not very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. We ordered shrimp puffs as an appetizer and after taking a few bites we realized the shrimp was wrapped in bacon and deep fried. No where on the menu does it say the shrimp puffs are wrapped in bacon. We were highly offended because we do not eat pork. When we told the waiter about what happened he acted as if he didn’t know. He resolved the issue by taking it off the bill, however this ruined our whole experience at this restaurant. Moreover the food was just ok, nothing to get excited about.
