I had a great time with some friends during lunch.
We ordered classic Southeast Asian dishes like Hainanese chicken, roti canai, mee siam, beef rendang, and Penang Asam Laksa. The mee siam and laksa were my favorite. The Penang Asam laksa is different from curry laksa because it uses tamarind-based flavors rather than coconut, which makes it more sour and spicy.

I came here for a big family lunch and we ordered a BUNCH of items because there were so many we wanted to try. There were some really delicious dishes and some that I would recommend skipping. Get: Roti Canai, Curry Stuffed Combination Soup (flavor was so great and soothing), Beef Rendang (great flavor and so tender) Skip: Hainanese Chicken (this was honestly kind of dry and not impressive), Indian Meee Goreng (didn't love the flavor combination here)

They lost some dishes since moving to the new location (like pattaya chicken), but their service improved despite the much higher traffic, and overall food quality remained as high as before, still at great prices (well, Bidenflation is not their fault and is raising prices everywhere). Do recommend.
Be the first to ReplyBest Hainanese chicken (海南鸡饭) in Chinatown.
The chicken was as tender as it is in Singapore.
Be the first to ReplyI have not been to the new location since the restaurant
I have not been to the new location since the restaurant moved but since my friend never had Malaysian food, I decided to give them a try to see if the quality I know have changed. Arriving at 2pm-ish the place was busy, but they were able to clear a table and quickly seated the six of us. Initially look shows that the place was clean, fairly newly decorated and similar in size. They have two storefronts that makes up the restaurant. In order to try as many things, my friends agreed to do family style at my suggestion and we ordered 3 appetizers, a rice dish, a noodles dish and 4 entrees. It was a feast. The wait staff were very helpful as we needed changed plates, forks, and knives through the meal. They checked on on us and ensure everything is satisfaction. Everything was delicious and well prepared. Highly recommended the Sarang (stir-fry in a taro nest), Hainese chicken, curry beef brisket, any of the fried flat rice noodles, and roti. I forgot how good Malaysian food had tasted. Definitely coming back here.
Be the first to ReplyGood Malaysian option in Chinatown.
It was quite busy when we visited during a weekday lunch. Menu is quite extensive, with all of the regular Malaysian options. I ordered an Indian style noodle dish (can't recall the name). I actually didn't taste that Indian to me, but was still tasty (similar to pad Thai). I also tasted some of the Nasi Lemak, which was good (especially the coconut rice). Big portions, and reasonable price.
Be the first to ReplyOrdered delivery through Grubhub but it got delivered
Ordered delivery through Grubhub but it got delivered directly by the restaurant. Got delivered quickly and accurately. Really good portions for the appetizers! The curry for the Roti Canai comes in little cups with lids. Roti was both crispy and chewy. Curry was flavorful with a little bit of heat. The chicken in the curry was tender. Satay chicken skewers were delish! Had that nice grilled taste. So much flavor. A little sweeter than expected, but our fave of the night. Chicken wings were good. A little dry, but good flavor and still tender. Not sure if we'd get this again though. Will have West New Malaysia on our list for our next visit to NYC/Chinatown! There's a lot more on the menu we want to try!
Be the first to ReplyGreat pork chops.
Recommending to have them with a glass of beer. The service was nice and attentive. The place overall is a nice spot for a date night or hanging out with friends. Side note - usual wait time is going to be around 30m during evening hrs for 2ppl so plan accordingly.

I ordered take out and it was great! I had the roti canai, curry beef brisket, and the mee Siam. The roti canai and curry beef brisket were delicious! The spice level was great too. I would not recommend ordering either if you do not like a little spice in your food. The take out was packed very nicely and I appreciated that they took the time to pack the food containers securely so nothing would spill or melt through the lids.
Be the first to ReplySo, they moved and guised under a new name.
Only realized it when a review I posted 5 years ago appeared for the same business. Food was ok-lah, priced higher and charges 3% if paying with credit ... in 2023!? Oh btw, do not advertise on your menu 'chendor' when you don't intend to sell cendul. "We don't have chendor only the bean that goes with it. Want-ah?"
Be the first to ReplyI cannot believe this is the same restaurant I used to go
I cannot believe this is the same restaurant I used to go to for years in the Chinatown tunnel. It felt super nostalgic to taste the food again. Relocated in this newly renovated space, there's ample seating and more modern decor. We ordered the char kway teow and it was delicious! It's been a while since I've seen fish cakes in this dish as many Malay places have since cut it out due to increased costs. They didn't skimp out on the seafood at all here and the portion sizes are massive. I did wish there was more of a kick but I still very much enjoyed it. We also ordered the curry beef brisket and I loved how it came with a burner to keep the dish bubbling hot. The curry was flavorful and enough spice. The beef brisket was stewed so nicely, I could cut it with a fork. The pieces were tender and juicy and absorbed all that curry flavor. There were fair amounts of fatty pieces so keep that in mind if you prefer leaner pieces of meat. The portion, price and quality cannot be beat.

Be the first to ReplyWest New Malaysia has moved around the corner to Bayard St!
West New Malaysia has moved around the corner to Bayard St! Their new place has plenty of seating and the staff are still just as friendly as ever. On my most recent visit, I ordered their satay tofu ($10.95) and their egg and noodle scramble ($13.95). The tofu was interesting bc the peanut satay sauce was spooned on top of the pile of cucumbers and tofu, instead of stuffed like at Nyonya's. I think I prefer the stuffed version bc it's easier to eat and this way you get a bite of the sweet and nutty sauce, the crispy tofu, and the crunchy cucumber and bean sprouts altogether. Their flat rice noodle has tons of wok char flavor and is served in an eggy gravy that feels silky and luxurious. Still a solid choice for a meal in Chinatown!
Be the first to ReplyI've been eating from this place for years but never tried
I've been eating from this place for years but never tried their new location, they used to be in a tunnel at their old location. My mom grew up in Chinatown and this has been one of her go to places back in the 80s-90s and it feels crazy to still be able to eat this now. Honestly it isn't as good as the old location but I haven't found another Malaysian place as good as this one. The curry beef brisket has always been my go-to growing up and even now, it definitely could've been more tender but still good when paired with rice. Their pineapple fried rice tasted like it had a hint of ketchup or tomato which hit great for me. The roti canai has never been my favorite so I was pretty whatever about that I had to keep my girl happy because she wanted that. Finally the hainanese chicken was fire, it was the perfect balance of soy sauce and paired great with the scallion garlic sauce. Overall, eating food from this place gets me in the feels and I'm gonna continue to come to get that.
Be the first to ReplyFood and staff are good.
Could use a bit more salt on the chicken and sauce. And less sugar on the fried fish. Amazing food and the shaved ices are a must. My personal favorite is the lychee ice. Really fast service and nice staff. The place can be packed during dinner time, so plan accordingly.
Be the first to ReplyService was quick and friendly, everything we ordered was
Service was quick and friendly, everything we ordered was ready right away. Favorites were the roti canai and curry chicken and rice. The chicken meat is moist and tender, the skin is with excellent firm texture with no fat under it. The chicken rice is nice as well. Highly recommended.
Be the first to ReplyWe were frequent visitors at New Malaysia when they were at
We were frequent visitors at New Malaysia when they were at their old location. This was my first time dining here, but my mom and sister have been before. My mom made a reservation for us for a table of 5 for 7pm on a Friday night and they even sat her early. We had a nice table in their adjacent dining room, which was nice. We ordered a few dishes, including one New Years special of braised oysters, mushrooms, and bak choy. It was great. Roti was quite good with a huge chunk of chicken in the curry sauce. Hainanese Chicken was tender and juicy. One minor snag that they fixed - their Chef's Special Fried Rice with squid, covered in omelet and tomato sauce - is not actually the Chef's Special. If you order it off the menu by the number and name, they'll give you something else. Two waiters confirmed this. So make sure if you want that dish, list out all the ingredients - it's called something else in Chinese. Service was attentive and food was a good price.
Be the first to ReplySolid dining experience.
Their forte is definitely the curry. The Roti Canai and chicken/beef skewers are so flavorful and delicious. We also tried their fried shrimp in salty egg but it fell short. It was not crunchy enough so I'd stick to non-fried seafood items here like the Nasi Lemak which is always good. Service is attentive and the space is clean though on the small side so check in if your group is larger than 4.
Be the first to ReplyAs a native Malay, this is one of the best Malay
As a native Malay, this is one of the best Malay restaurants I've been too in the United States. The O-Jian (oyster omelet) is one of the best made, not salty, not fishy, just right. The rendang (beef stew) tastes just like ones back from Malaysia and had the perfect amount of spice. The kang kung (morning glory) with squid was also perfectly cooked. I recommend getting the hainese rice instead of white rice as it goes well with the chicken as well as the rest of the dishes. The restaurant is pretty small, so we did have to wait a little bit, but we spoke to the owners in Cantonese and they were very friendly and understanding and helped to get us seated. A must try place if you want authentic tasting Malay food.

I have always liked your food, but today I found out that the portion has been reduced by half and the price has risen a lot. I am really disappointed this time! no good
Be the first to ReplyI was walking around chinatown when I noticed this new
I was walking around chinatown when I noticed this new restaurant that I've never seen before. My boyfriend recognized this place and said it used to be somewhere else in chinatown and they relocated here. When we went in, we were greeted immediately and seated. This place is very new, cute, and clean. We ordered and the food came out quickly. We ordered Hainanese Chicken over Rice (my favorite dish), Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak, and Iced Coffee. They make the Roti Canai smaller than what I typically see at other Malay restaurants. Service was good. Loved the food and am looking forward to come back if I am in the area again.
Be the first to ReplyThe restaurant just moved to 69 bayard is nice but a little
The restaurant just moved to 69 bayard is nice but a little smaller than the previous location. My malaysian friend introduced me to stingray dish. I was surprised that the had that in the menu. It was actually pretty good the texture of was really smooth. I totally recommend it for those that are adventurous.
Be the first to ReplyIt's been years since my friends and I ate at West New
It's been years since my friends and I ate at West New Malaysia. This will always be dubbed "That Malaysian place in the tunnel". They've reopened their location to a more foot traffic touristy area. Cleaner and brand new. After shopping and errands, was happy to stumble on this place. The food was ok, not as memorable in taste as much as I'd remember it. The roti canai pancake was tiny and not as large and flaky like other Malaysian restaurants I've been to. Curry for the appetizer itself was small and no signs of proteins were in it, only potatoes.The satay tofu with peanut sauce was enjoyable as the tofu was fried well with the peanut sauce and salad sandwiching the tofu was cold. A nice temperature mixture for the taste buds. Mee Siam was ok - it was sweet more than spicy (don't know if that was the intention for this dish).An ok alternative for Malaysian food if you want to stay on the Bayard and Canal St. side. Cleanliness, service, and wait times were good and we were properly taken care of.
