West New Malaysia

I didn't plan to eat here, but my first choice Malaysian restaurant didn't take cards. We didn't have a reservation, but luckily we got seated in minutes. I saw a lot of people ordering Hainan Chicken Rice, so I went for that. We also got Deep Fried Jicama Roll and Choy Kuey Teow. The chicken rice tasted just like home, and the chili and garlic sauce were perfect. The appetizer was good, but the kuey teow didn't have that "wok hey" flavour, and the noodles were wider than what we're used to in the UK or Malaysia. Overall, it's a good Malaysian spot in Chinatown.

Amazing food and for the price it’s worth it! My friends and I shared for dinner so we were able to try multiple dishes. Out of all of the dishes we tried, we all agreed that the Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai were the BEST! The Nasi Lemak wasn’t really spicy but the combination of the curry chicken and the anchovies and the peanuts really sold the dish. The Roti Canai was really good and it also included the curry chicken and a nice thin roti that is more similar to paratha than naan. Very delicious, highly recommend!

West New Malaysia delivered a deeply satisfying dining experience with each dish highlighting the layered influences that define Malaysian cuisine, shaped by Malay, Chinese, and Indian cultures over centuries of trade and migration. My boyfriend and I truly loved the experience, and every course reflected both technical skill and cultural understanding. We began with Roti Canai, a staple with origins tied to South Indian flatbreads introduced to Malaysia through Indian Muslim communities. The roti was expertly prepared, flaky and layered with a light crisp on the outside and soft, elastic texture within. It was served with a curry sauce rich in aromatics such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, curry leaves, and onion. The sauce had depth without heaviness, allowing the spices to bloom while r

Our go to Malaysian restaurant in the city. Their Hainanese Chicken rice is really great. Chow Kuey Teow is pretty good. The Kangkung Belacan could be a bit spicier. Service always excellent .. attentive and prompt. Drinks are great too ...and saw that they started doing Kuih Talam and Kuih Lapis but we were too full to try this this time. Next time...

Let’s start with the positives. The service was genuinely friendly and very accommodating, especially when it comes to vegetarian options. The space is modern and clean, though it doesn’t particularly evoke that distinctively Malaysian feel in its decor. The menu is broad, with a wide selection of classic Malaysian dishes — which is great to see. The food we had tasted good and was nicely presented. But if you’re coming in search of authenticity, you’ll likely be quite disappointed. Take the Nasi Lemak, for example. It was decent, but came with raw peanuts — which is a big miss when it comes to authenticity. The satay tofu was overly oily, the fried chicken wings looked more like modern bar fare with a pandan leaf added as a bow tie, rather than the traditional pandan-wrapped Ayam Goreng
