Contribute Feedback What Lisa M likes about West New Malaysia:
Right smack dab in the middle of Chinatown now, may West New Malaysia thrive in its new location with its dependable classics in two rooms decorated with modern accents and contemporary decor. Roti canai was spot on with a mildly spicy curry and tender bits of chicken. Char kway teoh had wok hay and I liked the addition of fish cake but prefer the more traditional style with chinese saisage and squid (hint, hint. View all feedback.
If u pay with credit card, then u need to pay 3% extra if the total.
It was so good!!! I ordered the roti canai, chicken satay, hainanese chicken, and the Penang Choy Kway Teow, and all of them were so flavorful and filling? I originally wanted something light, but ended up discovering all these great dishes. The hainanese chicken was the closest to the Singapore version I’ve tasted in America. This is a must try restaurant in New York!!
Loved the food here! Hadn’t had Malaysian food yet in the city so I wanted to try this place. Our server was really friendly and helpful and we loved every dish! I particularly loved the Hainanese chicken I could eat this dish every day. The chicken was perfectly poached and flavorful and the ginger scallion oil is really my favorite part and so addictive. I’ve had this dish in other places of the city not executed well, and this place did it right! The roti canai was a great appetizer the pancake was flakey and buttery and the chicken curry dip was great! I also enjoyed the dish the waiter suggested for us, Penang Choy Kwai Teow it had great wok hei and I love he fun noodles in general. Very reasonable pricing would definitely come again!
Overall an excellent value for money: great food, sizeable portions at an incredible price. Would recommend.With my wife we went on a Saturday at launch time as walk-in and after 5 minutes we were able to get a table. We went as we saw it recommended in the Michelin guide and we wanted to give it a try.Food was really good: we had the Roti Canai (amazing! …best roti I had and the Peanng Coconut crispy shrimp (which was okeyish for appetizers, my wife ordered the Indian Mee Goreng (which was extremely tasteful and I ordered the Nasi Lemakas recommended in the Michelin guide (and it was amazing…reminded me of a Peruvian dish called “Aji de Gallina” . Overall the dishes were full of flavours with great combination of spices. I’m not an expert in Malaysian food but you could tell they were very authentic.A mistake we made was that when looking at the main dishes’ prices we thought the portions would be small, making us order appetizers. Unfortunately, we couldn’t finish all the food as portions were huge! (always a good mistake to make Service was fast but not pushy (which is a rare find in Chinatown . Overall the staff was friendly and attentive.Atmosphere was okeyish but given the prices you can’t really expect a fancy restaurant.Highly recommended.
We visited here after an event for dinner. Staff were friendly and fast! Food was overall ok but some space to improve.I won’t recommend the Indian bread in the appetizer section. It was small and not outstanding.Fried noodles were good. It was delicious.?The curry beef was my favorite!Black rice sweet soup was small and a little bit watery.
