I had an enjoyable dining experience at this authentic Malaysian restaurant in the heart of Boston, run by welcoming owners from Malaysia. Although the service was very attentive, the Char Kway Teow lacked that flavor.

We ordered 2 main dish with a mongo sticky rice and fresh green apple juice also durian shake! Mango sticky rice was amazing! Drinks are so nice also..The first dish we got was a Hainanese Chicken half porsion was disgustingly bad.. I lived in Malaysia and Penang before of course I don’t want to have a same taste here in US… but how chef can serve such a bad old chicken for their customers!After first bite me and my friend we got shocked!We were so hungry and we ended up sending back our first dish..The second dish was Hokkien Mee..I posted to picture how much water left from the dish lolI didn’t wanted to complain or make upset anyone I just had that dish because I was so hungry..It was watery and bad but we ate it anyway!!The server was okay he apologized for the food and brought us new menu.. we were thinking to order another dish but the server didn’t show up so long so we decided to not order anything elseSo sorry but please don’t serve old chicken!Never again

I have never had a bad experience in all the times I've been here. The staff are nice and the food is excellent! My favorites are the roti, fried pearl noodle, ginger duck noodle soup, basil fried rice, pineapple fried rice, and curry fish fillet pot.

The watercress dish was my favorite for the dinner. My second favorite was the chicken sauce that came with the Indian bread. Both I would highly recommend you to try.Nonetheless, the oyster omelettes were not good as expected. The oyster was separated from the omelettes and both were seemed overcooked.Service seemed alright. They got us the wrong dish but managed to have it changed for us pretty quickly.

Great place in Chinatown to grab a meal! They have a giant menu and everything looks delicious. I had the ginger and scallion duck with rice once a the duck noodle soup another time. Both dishes were good and the portions were quite big. I think there prices run on the lower side compared to similar restaurants which made this place a real gem!

I love to eat Malaysian food at this restaurant! It's tasty!Roti Canai, water cress with preserved bean curd paste sauce and Hainanese chicken are my favorites at this restaurantThe atmosphere is like having food with family. The service is fine, but I expect the food more than service hereWill come back with my family when we visit Boston

The food was great. Now it is horrible and not authentic at all. As a Malaysian, the quality of the food is a shame to Malaysia. It should not be called as Malaysian food.

False advertising on the menu. I bought the Fried “Ice Creams” , but it came with only one fried ice cream with two fried bananas.

Excellent service, spacious restaurant. Unfortunately the food was served cold. Small portions for the high prices. Mediocre and underwhelming. Disappointing.

Is it common practice to include a $5 tip without the customers knowledge and consent on a takeout order and refuse to give the customer their copy of the credit card receipt. When questioned about this the answer was that what we do now. Tried calling them when I found out from my mother a day later but no answer.My family is never going back there again.
