Halal Malaysian been here twice and it’s amazing!! Everything I’ve had has been so good the broth, meat and even veggies! They have great milk chai as well. Everytime I’m in NYC this is a must eat - staff is also very helpful and kind. Be ready to tip extra tho as they say it’s required as a service charge.

A good place and menu but didn't meet the mark for me.Malaysian combo - this was the best. The chicken satay was juicy. The puff was tasty.Roti Canai - Felt very heavy from what I have had usually. The curry had taste but the punch was missingNasi Lemak with Chicken curry - The rice again was heavy didn't taste like usual light coconut rice. Chicken was decentMee Hoo Goreng - Decent taste. Good quantity

Made ressos for 6 people (4 adults + 2 babies) for a Sunday at 1. Not everyone arrived until 1:30 but luckily they were able to accommodate us, which was much appreciated, especially with babies.To start, I had the iced butterfly pea yuzu tea. It was nice and refreshing, and not too sweet. For food, we decided to order a bunch of things to share:-Satay tofu puffs - the satay sauce was really good. This comes with 7 pieces-Roti canai - can’t go wrong with roti canai. The curry it came with for dipping was great. Although for $10, I would have expected the roti to be a bit bigger-Char kuay teow (rice noodles with chives, bean sprouts, eggs & soy sauce with chili sauce) - this is usually my go to dish at Malaysian spots and it did not disappoint. Usually, it’s make with thin rice noodles but here, they used broad noodles, which I actually preferred because I love me some broad noodles. The flavor was great - plenty of wok hei. For the noodle and rice dishes, you can choose your protein (shrimp, tofu, chicken, beef, squid, seafood). We went with the shrimp and they gave us plenty of plump pieces of shrimp. 10/10 would order again-Kampong fried rice (eggs, onions, sambal anchovies, chili, carrots, peanuts, shrimp paste, cucumbers, and an egg on top - for the protein, we went with shrimp and again, they give a good amount. The fried-Mee Hoon Goreng (thin rice noodles with bean sprouts, carrots, scallion, eggs, fried shallots, with chili sauce)-Hainanese chicken - the chicken was overcooked and a bit dry. It also looked darker than most Hainan chicken. The rice and the ginger chili sauce were good thoughThe food is good but not Chinatown good and of course, not Chinatown prices. The portions are also smaller. But if you’re looking for good Malaysian/Singaporean food and you don’t want to trek to Chinatown, then Rasa is a great option.
I've visited 2x with my family, and each time has not let me down. Previously in 2023 and again last week. Both the food and the service were excellent! We came here because the restaurant serves halal Malaysian food. We recommend: Satay Chicken, Murtabak, Rendang Beef, Pad See Ew, BBQ chicken, and Basil Fried Rice.We made reservations in advance as a large group of 16 , we were promptly seated and wait staff was very attentive. Amazing overall experience; definitely worth visiting in NYC!

Incredibly nice service and delicious food! I came multiple times over one trip and am so happy I did. From the minute I walked in, I was treated like a regular and warmly invited into the calming space. The staff even took the time to get to know me and offer me tidbits about the area to make the most of my stay. The laksa was wonderful, so flavorful, full of veggies and just the right amount of spice - don’t miss out on this spot if you’re in the area!
