Tried the $59 tasting menu figuring why not as I’ve never had Malay Cuisine before. Sadly I was greatly disappointed. Out of 12 items only 3 I’d consider decent.Satay Chicken was cooked well but the sauce that accompanied it was borderline lackingCurry Beef was tasty but only had 5 chunks of MeatCoconut RiceRest of the items just lacked flavour or taste. Flavours were quite muddled.Similarly drinks were not good. Singapore Slings were too sweet, and the Negroni was awful. One sip and I was done. Had the The Tarik but that too tasted like it had been sitting in a pitcher for hours. Flavour was watered down.Service wasn’t steady. We had 3 plates show up and then waited 20 minutes for the next round. Meanwhile our neighbouring table kept getting their plates all at once. Seems like a lack of refinement.Don’t fall for this tourist trap because of its proximity to Stanley Park.

Must try Malaysian restaurant They have something for everyone; vegetarian, seafood, chicken, meat, and gluten-free options. We ordered: Roti Canai $7, kung pao chicken $26, ginger beef and broccoli $26, pineapple seafood chicken fried rice $25, Pandan coconut panna cotta $4, and peach Bellini. My personal favorites: The Roti Canai and the Pineapple Seafood Chicken Fried Rice served in a pineapple! The Kung pao chicken was good but had a spice that made it taste different from the other kung pao chickens I've had. Service was fast and the main course came out 5 minutes after the roti canai. So make sure to specify which dishes you want as appetizers and to not bring your mains at the same time. Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Parking (pay by phone street parking)

The place is extremely expensive, the food prices that they charge you are almost like a resort restaurant. Ambience is 2/5 at most with cheap IKEA cutlery. Most dishes start at $25 and then they expect a minimum 20% tip at the end.Easily 90-100$ for 2 people.

We ordered pineapple fried rice, mango papaya salad, and wok-fried clams. This combination worked just right for us (2 ppl). All of them were great! Just clams had some sands in it, which was annoying but the sauce of it was perfect. The happy hour in this restaurant is really friendly too. It is 11:30-5:00 EVERYDAY! I can feel they truly want you to enjoy their meal with a good price! Highly recommend! Love this place.

The food was overwhelmingly sweet, to the point where my friend couldn't eat most of their meal. I too struggled to finish the prawn in the mango and prawns dish due to its excessive sweetness. Additionally, the service left much to be desired.

My brother and I stopped by on our way out of Vancouver for dinner.Ordered Assam Tofu and Char Kway Teow. The food wasn’t as flavourful as it looked. Lacked a bit of spice and a kick. I ended up adding some chilli oil and lime juice. The lime juice really helped. Overall an average experience. Service and atmosphere was good.

I was serve by this Brazilian server and she was absolutely lovely, I don’t remember her name but she gave me an amazing service. She recommended this peach Bellini and made it very quickly and even gave me the little extra from the blender, it was fantastic. 10/10 will definitely comeback if the service is always like this!
