Satay is a decent restaurant that I frequently visit, particularly for its authentic Malaysian cuisine. The restaurant's ambiance sets a comfortable and inviting tone, albeit quite standard and nothing out of the ordinary. The service, much like the ambiance, is typical and straightforward, without any particular aspects standing out or being exceptional. However, where Satay truly shines is in its food offerings. The menu boasts a selection of dishes that are undeniably delightful and satisfying.One of my favorite dishes is the Chicken Curry mee. This dish is a culinary delight with its robust coconut curry flavor that encapsulates the true essence of Malaysian cuisine. The potatoes in the dish are cooked to perfection, tender yet firm, complementing the flavorful chicken. This dish is a real treat and a must-try for anyone visiting.Next is the Seafood egg scramble chow fun. This dish is an interesting concoction that beautifully blends the characteristics of soup and sauce. The result is a smooth, easy-to-eat dish that is both comforting and mouth-watering. The seafood component adds an extra layer of flavor and texture, making the dish even more appealing.The Chili chicken, another dish on their menu, is a bold and spicy choice. While it tends to get soggy quickly, the chicken features the fiery kick of birds eye chili and a generous serving of stir-fried shallots. The combination of flavors in this dish is simply delightful, offering a true taste of Malaysian cuisine.While Satay may not be classified as a top-tier restaurant, it's an excellent place to visit if you're in the mood for some authentic Malaysian dishes. Its charm lies in its simplicity and focus on delivering excellent food, making it a reliable choice for a casual dining experience.

The restaurant might not boast fancy decorations, but what it lacks in decor, it more than makes up for with the authenticity and flavor of its dishes. The Char Kway Teow was a standout for me, I will say very classic taste. truly one of the best I've ever had. Not to mention, the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Malaysian flavors!

Pros: not so expensive considering it's 2024. Roti tastes good, but sauce can have more kick to it.Hainese chicken is smooth but def plain tasting itself, rice is great texture. Should have more chicken to go with rice.Soy sauce noodles was underwhelming, short and hard to eat, lacked flavor despite made in sauce ironically. Shrimps were great.Eggplant tofu tastes healthy despite being fried.Ice kachong tastes best as a drink but make sure to mix it.Overall hard to get parking in the area and if you're nearby great stop by, but hard to justify a 30 plus round trip drive.May order other foods next time since it's hard to find good Malay.

Love this place. Very authentic flavors at a reasonable price. Don't like to come to Flushing often, but have to make the trip to have good food.

Food was good. Laid back family style restaurant. For the location, price and the look of the restaurant, it was within my expectations. Appetizers were definitely better than the entrees. Malaysian style fried rice was really good. Roti Canai was also decent. I actually liked that the roti was thin and crispy. I have had Roti Canai many times, including in Malaysia, and most of the time the roti tasted just like the store bought packets. This one seemed different, in a nice way. Chicken and beef satays were really good. Wasn’t a fan of the Ayam Rendang. I would definitely go back to try different items.

A good authentic Malaysian food outside of busy Flauhing area. They have 3 parking spot on the sidewalk. Usually no long wait for dinner or lunch. It is a cash only business.The food is always on point. The price is still fair considering inflation.

Couple of favorite dishes is not available on the menu...a little disappointed.Staffs are friendly and portion is good to share.
Came back for the roti canai. The roti was super thin. Wish it was had a-bit more bite. Hainese chix rice soaked up the leftover curry chix. So delish. The grouper w tofu was satisfying. And the cold Hainese chicken topped w cilantro and w cukes was perfectly cooked.
