Was YS Designer at Langkawi a mag?
This was my third time visiting Langkawi, and I had a strong craving for fried food. I opted for the calamari, confident in their frying skills. The calamari had an amazing texture, unlike any I’ve ever experienced before. It was absolutely fantastic! I’m definitely looking forward to returning to Langkawi very soon. View all feedback.
What Tommy Zheng dislikes about Langkawi:
The experience was average. The menu was limited, the portion sizes were small, and the flavors didn't measure up to other Malaysian restaurants in New York City. View all feedback.
This is a respectable Malaysian restaurant, especially given the few choices available in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn. We ordered the roti canai ($6), nasi lemak ($16), and chow kueh teow ($16). I asked for my noodles to be extra spicy, but they came out completely mild; I had to request extra sambal. It's unusual that their house sambal isn't spicy either. On a positive note, the service was prompt, and our food arrived quickly. The bathrooms were clean, which is quite rare for restaurants on 8th Avenue in Chinatown. We also appreciated that they didn't rush us out of our seats, which is another uncommon experience in Brooklyn's Chinatown.

This restaurant is wonderful. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely incredible. We ordered several dishes to share family-style, and each one was better than the last. The flavors were truly exceptional. I had never tried Malaysian cuisine before, but now it’s my favorite.
This restaurant never lived up to the quality of Redang Island across the street, which closed last year. Overall, the food was pretty mediocre. This style of cuisine really needs to be homemade and authentic; otherwise, it comes off like a poor Chinese takeout. Even the sambal, which is usually a fresh and unique hallmark of authentic regional flavors, tasted like it was store-bought. It felt like an Italian restaurant putting ketchup on pasta. The biggest disappointment was finding a hair curled up in my Malaysian Buddhist vegetable dish—completely gross. We ended up just asking for the bill and leaving. The experience was very disappointing, especially given the food. I don’t understand the decent ratings this place gets, but maybe I’ve just been unlucky. We only tried five dishes, but I was still let down. The decor was nice, and most diners seemed to order the flashy pineapple fried rice. My advice: leave this spot to the tourists. Brooklyn Chinatown has some solid options, and there are a couple of Malaysian places in Queens worth the trip. I’ll keep looking elsewhere for good Malaysian food.
