Malaysian Kopitiam

Grabbed lunch here with a buddy, and to my surprise, they had dishes with soup and noodles. I'm only used to seeing that at Ramen or Pho places. I got the very thin noodles & the Malaysian Chicken Curry soup. Now, looking at the Okra & eggplant I figured it was not going to be cooked well enough, but to my surprise, they both blended well. I generally prefer them well cooked, in much smaller pieces, but I was willing to try how the chef prepared it. From the first spoonful, I was amazed at the flavor of the curry soup that lasted till the end. I had to finish something so good. :) The service was decent, non-obtrusive and also not overly friendly, just quiet and attentive. Overall, great tasting food with good service.

After having delicious Southeast Asian food in LA, my friend recommended Malaysian Kopitiam as a comparison point, and I’m so excited that we also have an amazing option in NoVa! The roti was delicious and piping hot — I’ve had flakier but the texture had a nice chew to it that was slightly reminiscent of scallion pancakes. The chicken in the curry it came with was unbelievably tender, and I usually don’t like chicken. The char kway teow is perfectly seasoned and not too salty, with juicy shrimp. Squid was not too chewy but had a little bit more coating than I prefer, although it had a simple seasoning similar to traditional Taiwanese flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. Rendang meat was tough and not as high quality but the flavor was perfectly seasoned. We are coming back to the tr

Very friendly restaurant. The food is delicious. We ordered the Roti Canai (2 pcs) Flat layered Indian bread served with a small bowl of Malaysian Chicken Curry. Singapore Noodle Stir-fried long thin rice noodles with chicken, egg, carrots, onion, bean sprouts, green & red bell pepper in curry flavor and the Dry Curry Wonton Mee. Wonton noodles topped with chicken curry gravy, U-choy bean sprout. Everyone around us appeared to be enjoying their meals. Fabulous for pace.

This is one of the hidden jumps of nova, it’s a family owned restaurant and the owners are humble and very accommodating and warm and cordial. This is a no nonsense place. Everything in the menu is quite authentic, I will highly recommend Beef Rangdang and chicken curry with roti; for one person meal Nasi Lemak(it comes with a a very appetizing complex tasting anchovy condiment)

First time trying this restaurant. The food was amazing, the portions were generous and the staff friendly and welcoming. We loved how the menu was coded to indicate spice level, vegetarian, and popular. Can’t wait to go back.
