4.5 Stars, rounding up to 5 Stars!
What a nice surprise! I was hesitant to try this restaurant since it had mixed reviews. But I'm so glad we gave it a try! I had lowered my expectations for this restaurant, given the mixed reviews, but everything we ordered was fantastic! We ordered both Malaysian dishes and Taiwanese dishes, and they all exceeded our expectations! Also, prices are very reasonable; but with a surcharge if paying by credit card.
These are the 10 dishes we tried:
~ Stinky Tofu ($12): the tofu was minimally stinky and could have been stinkier (lol) but I actually like it this way. Flavors weren't overpowering.
~ Clams w.Basil ($21): this was a basic dish and was good.
~ Fried Oysters $19): the oysters came with a side of oyster sauce but honestly, you don't need it. Sprinkle a little salt, and they're delish!
~ 3 Cup Chicken ($19): this dish came out Smokin'!! Be carefully not to touch the plate cause you'll get burned! This may be the best 3 Cup Chicken I've ever had!
~ Fly Heads ($18): someone once asked me if this dish was really made of fly heads....of course, this person was lo fan! Hahaha This dish never disappoints. Ask for it extra spicy! Sooooo good!
~ Belacan Special (Veg w.spicy shrimp paste) ($19): Veggies never tasted so good! Very flavorful!
~ Lamb Rendang ($22): I've only ever had Beef Rendang, so was looking forward to try this lamb version. It was delicious! The meat was very tender and tasty.
~ Curry Beef Stew ($22): the curry flavors were too mild for me, and I wish it had more of a curry flavor but this dish was good nonetheless. Another tasty dish!
~ Shredded Beef w.Scallions ($18): the shredded beef was perfections. Good dish!
~ Mee Goreng Noodles ($12): omg this noodle dish was fantastic! Noodles were perfectly al dente, and sooooo flavorful!
~ White Rice ($2/bowl): note that none of the entrees come with rice, so you must order separately.
Note that this restaurant has square tables, as well as round tables for larger groups. ***One strike against them is that they do NOT have Lazy Susans for the round tables. Lazy Susans are a MUST for round tables; making it easier for family style shared meals. There are about 3 round tables, which seats up to 9 adults comfortably (10 if you're all on the thin side. lol). They will tell you that this table seats 12, but honestly, you can only seat 12 people if you have kids and/or thin people. (My party of 10 adults sat elbow to elbow).
Free parking in the lot in front of the restaurant. This is a shared lot with the other businesses in the strip mall; including a supermarket. Parking can be challenging on a busy day.
Customer service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. On this Wednesday evening, this place was packed! Very popular restaurant!
I can't wait to come back to try their other dishes!
