First thing I’ll say is our server Hailey was great. Since the new ownership the food is a shadow of itself. The dishes used to be amazingly well rounded. They had new dishes but we ordered the classics we knew from the original location. The flavors just aren’t there. This was a legendary establishment and the food just isn’t the same. Hopefully they can take some time to put the work into these dishes to meet the level we all loved.

Laksa lemak was not the taste you would find in Malaysia. It's more like Thai curry because it was rather sweet than savory. Fried rice was a bit too salty, maybe becauase of the anchovies. What I didn't like the most was they forced a 20% of tip on us (3 pax), included in our bill.

This new location is just average compared to the original one that was shut down a while back. The service was poor, given they auto add a 20% service charge to your bill. They also have a much more limited menu and not some of the classics they used to have like frog legs. The curries were sweeter and more cocunuty and used a lot of turmeric. Guess they have new cooks now. The chicken wings were extra oily.

Oh wow! How did I just find this place out? Its amazing!!! Everything was simply incredible. The food was perfect. Roti Jala very tasty as a starter. Then we ordered the chicken which was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We also ordered the laksa noodles which was heaven and we also got the ribs. Please order the coconut shake and the passion fruit green tea. Wow wow wow! We will be back for my birthday with our friends!

Heard many many great things about this place but sadly did not live upto the expectations.2 of the 3 stars go to Roti Jala and the chickpea curry, which we reordered. The cocktails are good too. But fried rice and the chicken fries disappointed us. They lacked the typical Malaysian flavor that we expected. Dessert was okay. Might be we caught them at a bad time.

Do not come here. The original kedai Makan is GONE. This is an entirely different restaurant with different owners, chefs, and menu. The dishes are less than mediocre and tastes like just another generic "Asian" Restaurant in Seattle, for an outrageous price tag too. An absolutely guttingly disappointing experience compared to the original. This is a bait and switch scam where they purchased the original restaurant and swapped everything with panda express. Boo.

Honestly the most satisfying meal I’ve had in a restaurant in a long time. As a vegetarian with an active lifestyle, eating at restaurants can be unrewarding at times - dishes are often either monotonous or lacking sufficient protein. I was delighted to find that the Nasi Lemak was absolutely stacked with wholesome protein-rich ingredients! The meal had peanuts, egg, tofu and chickpeas, and each was thoughtfully and skillfully prepared. And that was just one of the plant-based menu options on offer.Someone in the kitchen there clearly has direct experience with eating vegetarian - I felt very seen and understood by their menu offerings. The culinary splendor was paired with service that felt like a well-oiled machine, and a lively, upbeat atmosphere. I will be back!Vegetarian options: A must-visit for vegetarians!
Really authentic and flavorful dishes! We got Nasi Lemak, mango salad, Pan Mee, Roti Jala, all were really great! Reservation is needed even on weekdays as this place seems full even on Monday evening.

Enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner here! Reservations are recommended and also the staff were so helpful letting us move the time back when something came up. The staff were so sweet, the food amazing (and came out absurdly fast), the atmosphere just lovely. Hard to pick favorites because everything was phenomenal, but the laksa noodle soup was probably my highlight!

A nice malaysian place in the heart of cap hill.The spicy peanuts are delicious.The items we ordered were unique and flavorful.The malaysian nemasak was some good and had a lot of toppings along with the jhala roti .We ordered the carrot cake which was good but not the best . There was a weird after taste to it which was my personal opinion.Overall this place is nice but definitely not long wait times this place usually has.
This is my new favorite restaurant. The nasi lemak with chicken was so tender, perfectly spicy, sweet, and creamy I was wowed. The cucumber pineapple salad was the perfect compliment, fresh, crunchy, and bright. The vibe was perfect and chill and the music eas pretty much my perfect playlist.
