Sambal Chef - Pearland

Update: Restaurant is closed and not open until august 8th, 2024. I'm not sure if previous owners still own the restaurant. One star because I ordered food to go, got there, place was open and ... order was canceled when i got there....because the restaurant is not open to the public yet. Disregard precious review. WOWOWOWOW! Best Malaysian restaurant in anywhere. Get yourself some roti canai, satay and literally anything else off of the menu. The staff is so attentive we never had to even ask for anything. They were so nice as well. We got mee goreng, water spinach, tofu, and the appetizer. LOVED EVERYTHING and cleaned our plates. We will be back again and again.

The food is excellent and friendly atmosphere will come back to eat and will introduce to all friends and people who ask for restaurant or special Malaysian food

Highly recommend this restaurant. It has good food and reasonable price during this economy. My favorite dishes are roti canai, Singapore Chili Shrimp, salted egg tofu and vegetable with Sambal sauce.

Sambal Chef stands out for flavorful food, cleanliness, and friendly service. We stopped by for the first time a week ago and ordered roti canai, chicken satay, and eggplant with shrimp. All the food was well seasoned and flavorful. The roti was light and fluffy. Dipped in the accompanying sauce, it became a perfect balance of texture and flavors that melted in my mouth. The chicken satay was perfectly cooked with a slight grill flavor. The sauce that it came with was sweet and buttery. Together, they created a harmony of flavors. The eggplant and shrimp was a stir fried dish and was a little too oily for me, but still tasted great. Great customer service added to our pleasant experience. The owner came by a few times to check on us. We talked about his restaurant and Malaysian food. Next, he surprised us with a sample of a beef dish which was also delicious. We would recommend Sambal Chef if you want flavorful Malaysian food at reasonable prices and friendly service. We have added it to our restaurant rotation and will be back to try the rest of the menu!

Excellent and authentic Malaysian food. Probably the only place in and around Houston that serves chili crab and black pepper crab when crab is available. They offered switch to lobster as crab was not available one time and it was equally tasty. I am so glad to have found this place...
