Killiney Kopitiam

Fantastic little place right off University Ave in downtown Palo Alto. They serve food from Malaysia and Singapore. We were informed that all meat items except the chicken wings were halal. We decided on the following items which were all delicious: - Beef rendang: spicy beef curry served with yellow rice, two boiled eggs and salad. The curry was really flavorful! - chicken satay with rice and fried egg: also came with some fried rice crackers and the chicken came on sticks. They have a peanut sauce on the side which went really well with the chicken satay. - a cold iced coffee drink (espresso) which was combined with black tea. Tasted delicious and would be great for brunch. - Swiss roll - colored green and with a coconut flavor. A very light and spongy dessert. They had run out of their puffs which I was quite keen to try. However I’m keen to come back here for the breakfast items. Service was good and portion sizes were decent.

Great Singapore food with decent price! Recommend Bak Kut Teh, both rib and soup are really juicy. Char Kway Teow and fried chicken wings are also delicious! Toast is bit too sweet.

Flavorful dishes and tender chicken. To my tastes it was a little too flavorful, but the cook on each was well done! Their curries are spot on. The style of the restaurant is more like a cafe where you order, get a number, and find a spot to sit. Their savory dishes are very seasoned, so if you are looking for something a little calmer, I would recommend their curry dishes.

Having had many, many authentic Singaporean street food / hawker center experiences, I know the owners are trying to bring some of that experience to the Bay Area. This was my first time at this location, I will definitely come again to try a few other menu items The food was excellent, albeit not an exact flavor match for me. The staff is a bit on the younger side, but polite and knowledgeable. There's plenty of parking around the corner and for a Saturday lunch crowd it was a little busier than expected. Always a good sign. There is interior and exterior seating, including a covered parklet shared with the Dim Sum place next door. Come prepared for a unique flavor experience (some dishes are spicy) and good strong coffee.

Glad to finally try this place out with my Singaporean bestie! We ordered 3 noodles dishes and chucjrn wing. Of 3 noodles dishes my fave is laksa...still not as good as the version my bestie made thou (the soft boiled eggs are cooked to perfection and I love it) . The other 2 are a bit too rich in my opinion. The chicken wings are great but can use a bit of heat and that would have been perfect fried wings!!. I would definitely come back to try other rice dishes. The milk tea is very good and authentic - reminded me of the milk tea I had in Hong Kong! The coconut pandan cake is not good and I wouid not recommended.

we don’t understand why the children or elderly can’t be seated while we have someone queuing to place order. of course we understand their rules of placing order first before we get a table, but the queue took us more than 30 mins. while the line was long but there were multiple unoccupied tables at both indoor and outdoor. the poor little kiddo was tired of standing and just wanted to sit, and we were told off rudely not to even touch the table by a female employee. she could be the supervisor or manager, not sure. after some time, she finally took out a stool for the kid. after we got a number, she insisted that we take a tiny table which we could hardly place all our food and drinks on it. it was a ridiculous experience. having said so, the server who brought our food was kind and friendly. he even asked if we would like to have small plates and ensured we had enough cutleries. while another employee ensured the area was clean and free of residue food on the floor. the food. good presentation and size but taste wise, there are rooms for improvement. let’s start with the nasi lemak, the coconut rice was okay but lack of pandan fragrance. the fried chicken were only tasty on the outside, with little to no flavour inside. sorry to say this but the sambal (chili paste) was rather horrible. next would be the laksa (a kind of curry noddle). the soup was thick and creamy but too sweet. the gravy of tohu goreng (fried beancurd) was very sweet too. the drink. tasteless except too sweet, again. killiney in singapore serves simply food, and not as higher end as in palo alto.

A place that satisfies our Singaporean food craving. Their chicken curry and chicken rice are spot on. We came at lunch and there was a line of people but it was fast enough so no worries there. The kopi and teh are great and just like how I remember it. A little bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion.

Satisfied the Malaysian/Singaporean food cravings! Was pleasantly surprised trying out this restaurant with a friend after having been recommended it. We ordered the Nasi Lemak, Chicken Satay, and Kaya Toast to share and had a beverage each. The food was good and I thought it represented the food from Malaysia and Singapore well, especially the kaya and sambal. The chicken satay was pretty juicy but I would have preferred it with more char like you’d get when you get it as street food and the peanut sauce was ok. Overall I still very much enjoyed the food and would like to come back to try some of their other dishes too. I did find the prices to be a bit higher than I expected but I think it could be justified with how few Malaysian or Singaporean restaurants there are in the Bay Area. When in the restaurant, you make your order and pay first at the counter. If you’re dining in, you’ll be provided with a number and you can seat yourself indoors or outdoors. Takeout was available as well, which we did see a number of people do. Located by the shopping district on University Ave in Palo Alto, it’s a nice area to roam around and parking isn’t too difficult to find if you’re willing to walk a little bit. Definitely a bit tougher as you get closer to the Main Street.
