★★★☆☆ 3.0 David H · Mar 2026

The restaurant is located in a strip mall that includes a supermarket, and the parking situation is a total nightmare. It’s to your best interest if you can park somewhere else. The free parking isn’t worth the grief. Inside the restaurant the ambiance was cozy and inviting. It was still during the 15 days of Lunar New Year celebration so there were a lot of festive decors! The menu was extensive, covering Malaysian, Taiwanese, and Thai cuisines. We went at 7 pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was about half full. We ordered two Malay curry dishes which are supposedly pre-stewed. However, we had to wait for a whopping 25 minutes to get the first dish, and the second of the same curry chicken 5 minutes later. In my opinion, they were a matter of plating since the curry was prepared ahead of

This is my second time here. I’m from Malaysia and this is always a great way to curb my cravings for home food. Some of the dishes lean salty but overall taste very good. The service is so friendly and attentive. There’s plenty of seating and usually not a long wait. It can be a little noisy but not too bad. I’m sure I’ll be back!

I came here for dinner on a weekday around 5pm and was seated right away. There were many empty tables at this time. I specifically wanted to try their Taro dish and it was decent. It was crispy, had green peppers, peanuts, shrimp, carrot pieces, mushrooms, and inside was full of taro. I had the same taro dish at a different Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown before so I was comparing this version to theirs, and I realized this restaurant’s version was not as good but still decent enough where I enjoyed it. The waitress was attentive and friendly.

★★★★★ 5.0 Alan Hartman · Feb 2026

This is my first time trying Malaysian food and I was excellent. The bbq pork chop and bbq meat skewers appetizers were especially good.

A neighborhood gem! Lovely restaurant in Elmhurst serving Malaysian, Taiwanese, and Thai dishes. All food ordered were very fresh & cooked to perfection! Having been here for the first time, the clientele seemed to be regular customers which is very notable for an establishment. Happily enjoyed the food & hearing customers chat with the staff as they often dine there and hope to visit again soon!
