"Nyonya is one of our favorite Malaysian spots in Manhattan, not only for the excellent food, but for the warm, lodge-like atmosphere you get to eat it in. We’d recommend coming with a few people: the homey, dark wood dining room is deceptively large, extending to a back area full of big round tables. But even if you bring a smaller party, get the glorious platter of cold Hainanese chicken, the fresh okra and shrimp stir-fry, and tangy asam laksa. You’ll be glad you have leftovers. Keep in mind it's cash-only." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
