What a gem to find, we went on a Monday afternoon and we were blown away by the quality and taste of the food. The chef/owner came out to talk to us while we ate and was very friendly and was a blast to chat with. We ordered the Assam laksa, char Kway teow, and half a duck. The Laksa was deliciously sour and the half duck was outstanding! This was a highlight of a small trip through Chicago and we couldn’t recommend it more!

This place far exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing, and service was quick. Everything we ordered looked and tasted great. Prices were about on par with other similar restaurants – it’s not cheap but I wouldn’t call it expensive either.

Surprisingly good restaurant. Decent prices, nice decors, and tasty food. The only comment I have is the portions were quite less compared to other restaurants with the same price range.

The owner of the restaurant is very nice and chatted with us at the end of our meal. The front desk lady had a bad attitude though and did not even say hi when I said hi to her. She should not be greeting customers with that bad attitude. The Nasi lemak is great, the beef rendang was just okay.

Average service, seating area was ok. Portions were good with reasonable price . Hainanese chicken was cook perfectly and tender. Beef loMein was good , beef was tender , I love the vegetables comes with the LoMein. Chicken and shrimp with Tofu dish was mild flavor, it goes perfectly together . 4 stars for the foods.

Great food and excellent service. Waitress was very helpful and answered our questions and made excellent recommendations. We ordered 4 dishes and it fed us 4 quite well. Definitely recommend the Malaysian dishes and not the generic Asian foods. The Malaysian foods really shine here.

What happened to this place. Let me just start by saying that the food itself was pretty delicious. However, that’s about the only good thing I experienced.

I am not from Malaysia, so I could not tell if it is authentic or not. Overall, the food was tasty but did not surprise us at any point, the portion sizes were appropriate. The server was friendly and nice.

If you have time, stop in. They have been low staffed each time, but if you are patient, the food is WORTH IT! During this visit, the waitress/hostess was swamped and thanked us profusely for our patience, but she remembered everything and was very thorough. We will definitely be back!
