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!

Our go-to place before was banana leaf in China town and we've been to others including Pappa rich and while each is good in its own respect sambal is great. The owner is friendly, the food authentic... portions good and price great. Can't wait to return... We had the chili lobster, roti canai, beef rendang and Chinese broccoli with garlic...all great

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...

Their curry puffs used to be pretty big but now they're so tiny, probably half the size they used to be and at the same price. And now I just bought a wa tan hor which is not a cheap dish, and I find it full of artificial crab meat (instead of a bunch of different fish balls like it normally would be) with 3 pieces of shrimp and some squid. In fact, what I got doesn't even look like the picture on their site. I'm so disappointed. I wish they had at least called to tell me that they didn't have all the ingredients of this dish and gave me the option to switch. I guess I will have to go to Chinatown for better value and a more authentic dish now.

You can tell the chef/owner cares deeply about delivering the best and takes much pride in their cooking. Would definitely recommend if looking for a taste of Malaysia!
