The authentic sambal is delicious and not overly spicy, paired with generous portions of fragrant rice and crispy anchovies. However, some diners noted that the spiciness can be mild and takeaway portions may not seem as substantial as dining in.

“Authentic Malaysian restaurant! Can't go wrong with nasi lemak, portion was very filling. I still prefer regular char siu bao compared to the baked one, as the latter can be a bit dry. The pineapple tarts they sell at the register were also pretty good, though the filling was on the more sour side and the pastry was on the drier side.”
