"For decades, Malay is where people in Flushing have gone when they're in the mood for no-nonsense, homestyle Malaysian cooking that isn’t trying to be anything other than tasty. Basically, grandma’s house. The longstanding local favorite still gets crowded with families by dinnertime. Squeeze into a table with a small group and try the rich curry laksa, BBQ skate, and big platters of crispy lobak. Keep in mind that it's cash-only for orders under $20." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
