★★★★☆ 4.0 Arshaq Meraj · Jan 2026

The waiter were caring and attentive. The ambiance was fantastic. The only thing was the food. Some of the blandest food I have ever had. I couldn't finish my meal, nor could my friends. I believe this cuisine does not suit our south Asian pallette. However, we are all extremely adventurous and have eaten many different types of food. The soup was basically what I imagine people in the great depression ate, boiled cabbage water. That was the wonton soup.

It’s a delightful place with delicious and authentic (my Singaporean friend confirmed) restaurant. The food was perfectly spiced and well presented. The server was quick and courteous. I will come back again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Freda Lee · Feb 2026

We had a wonderful dining experience at Rasa. We ordered the Massaman curry, roti canai, and nasi kerabu—each dish brought back memories of the local flavors we enjoyed in Malaysia. We also loved chatting with the owner, Kenny, who has plenty of fascinating stories to share. The service staff were attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Rasa is definitely a place we look forward to returning to on our next visit.

I really love Malaysia food and this spot does not disappoint. We opened with the chicken satay and the sweet peanut sauce on top is insanely good. I’d highly recommend to Get the beef rampang! It’s perfection. Great service, chill ambiance

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ivan Perez · Dec 2025

Great food! Really amazing table service as well, the staff was nice and responsive to out table the entire night. The curry with roti was soooo good!! The Lychee Sakeitini is sneaky but highly recommended, the other drinks werent decent IMO but I had my favorite.
