AYAM

I am a huge lover of indonesian / malay food, which can be difficult to find outside asia, so was so excited to see Ayam coming to astoria. The design is very cool and the selection of dishes is great. Wonderful to see murtabak on there. My only small gripe is that for the price I would expect a little more effort in some of the dishes or bigger portions. The quality of the chicken is great, but the grilled chicken plate is esentially just chicken, rice, and a few cucumbers. Another vegtable or some aromatics would help.

This is a great little casual Thai Malay spot. Nice simple design. We liked the funny chicken themed decor and posters. There are a couple tables for 2 people to sit in and a high top bench area. Otherwise its ideal as a quick takeout spot. We ordered the Murtabak, Pad Kra Pow, and Fried Chicken Rice. The food was very tasty and filling. The Murtabak was especially flavorful and unique. Service was friendly and great, and pricing was very reasonable.

Flavor and execution wise, one of the best nasi lemaks I've personally had. The chicken was fried perfectly and was so tasty with the sambal and coconut rice. I do feel the portion is a little small for what you pay for, as I wasn't really full. Since I can't do 4.5 stars, I will give them the full rating as I do believe people should give them a try and support this new local business. It was really delicious . I want to return to try the other things, but the portion size may keep me away for the time being.

Such a cool aesthetic and the food is just as good. Nasi Lemak and wonton chips are to die for and I love the drink selection. The employees are so kind and hardworking too, will definitely be stopping by whenever I’m in the area

Friendly staff! A fellow Malaysian myself, always hunting for a good nasi lemak, as authentic as possible to home country taste. I definitely felt closer to home here. Sambal 8/10!! Murtabak pun sedap.

Halal Thai Malay.. exactly what the streets needed. Service is spectacular, definitely recommend the steamed chicken and rice. Food is phenomenal and unique, filling, and made with love.

I tried Murtabak and Nasi Lemak and it is the exact taste of Malaysia you'd be looking for. Do try!

I had the nasi lemak with a side of murtabak. The owner was grateful I came all the way from Brooklyn to try this place out. I will be taking two trains and the bus to come try more of the menu!

Great food reasonable price. Loved the Nasi lemak, fried chicken rice and murtabak. All bangers. Perfectly fried. Definitely try.

4/5 grilled chicken rice $13- pretty good flavor 3/5 nasi lemak - my friend didn't like it cuz she thought it had a fishy understate but i thought it was ok Good service. Very sweet people.

Small, causal restaurant serving halal Malaysian and Thai food. The menu is pretty small. The nasi lemak is popular here. It consists of coconut rice, fried chicken, fried anchovies and peanut. Pour on the the sambal. It's tasty and mildly slipcy. The container seems small but there is plenty of food. I wasn't able to finish mine. It was very good. The murtabak (meat filled flatbread) and pad thai was also pretty good.

Such amazing food. Entering this restaurant just makes you feel at home and I love how everyone there says hi and is so kind. They make the food which is very amazing and authentic. Thank you AYAM. WILL COME BACK VERY SOON
