Noah WeissFebruary 25, 2016Why is this place not more popular? Cool mix of higher end Malaysian combined with French cooking. Spare ribs, rendang chicken, and laksa curry noodle soups all great.
Serious EatsApril 23, 2013Clean takes on Malaysian cooking in a bright, friendly cafe. Prices are higher than elsewhere in Chinatown, but portions are large and the setting is more upscale.
MarcJanuary 4, 2016TimeOut Top Chinatown Rest: French & Chinese husband-and-wife team dishing out traditional Malaysian food in Little Italy - big portions of homestyle fare, from laksa to lemak
Ankita NellimarlaMay 19, 2017The lamb was to die for! Seafood laksa was flavorful and yummy! Cozy mom and pop place for a warm meal! So good!!
Time Out New YorkJune 19, 2013At this Chinatown bistro, curry and coconut perfume the air, as husband-wife team Marc Kaczmarek and Mei Chau bustle around, hefting giant portions of homestyle Malaysian fare at Lilliputian prices. Read more
Colin RhoadsJanuary 29, 2017Curry Chicken is great, also had the pork belly ramen which was very delicious. Started with the steam buns which were slightly lacking flavor. Cash only.
Chloe HeathJanuary 20, 2016Pork belly ramen was delicious! Cozy little place - great for lunch or a date night, and really reasonable prices.
ZoëOctober 30, 2015Great atmosphere and mostly great food. Pork buns are amazing. Give the mango avocado rolls a miss. Decent prices and friendly staff. I'll be back!
JinniSeptember 21, 2013There's a reason why their seafood laksa is famous! I definitely recommend it! It has a great coconut milk base flavor and there's a lot more than just shrimp and squid.
Terka LeiMay 16, 2015The owner is French and cooks with his wife, who is Malaysian. Very nice and fast service. Very good lamb and interesting udine with peanuts. Great desserts.
Carolina MillanMarch 3, 2015Lovely staff, cozy place, great atmosphere, nice French music and great Malaysian food with a French touch!
Karthik RamanAugust 4, 2015Lunchtime on a Monday was no wait, great service. Seafood Laksa was filling and just spicy enough at medium. Good mix of seafood and veg, but maybe too heavy on the noodles.
Linda ChowAugust 27, 2015A cozy, intimate and romantic place to catch up with another person. Seafood laksa and rendang chicken were both flavorful and tasty.
Jasmine ChongJune 5, 2013Warm and friendly owners, incredibly tender and well marinated ayam (chicken) istimewa! Cozy airy space tucked away in Chinatown, bring a date here.
Great Malaysian food with attractive prices! Hospitable service! Definitely the place to go back in my list!
MickeyNovember 27, 2014Nice mom and pop restaurant. BBQ spareribs are lovely. Charming. Warm service. I look forward to the next time I eat here.
Jane SerraMarch 28, 2015Everything is great here. Really. Amazing food, quality ingredients, sweet and attentive service, chill relaxing atmosphere.
Veronica RayNovember 26, 2017Recently got back from a trip to Malaysia and was craving laksa. Really enjoyed the seafood laksa.
Emilie DishonghOctober 18, 2015Seafood laksa, grilled squid - if you miss Franklin Station Cafe, well here they are!
Michelle CarithersJuly 19, 2014Wonderful! Awesome staff and delicious food!! Can't wait to come back!!
Yesbelt FernandezNovember 9, 2014Neighborhood jem. Order the tart with your meal - you won't be disappointed.
Guan LiJanuary 16, 2016A sort of trying to be chic but very cozy place. Food is below average. Great service, wouldn't mind coming again if I'm too hungry to walk any further.
Jess LauApril 6, 2013French + Malaysian = Asian comfort food for the refined palette. Every dish here is amazing!!!
Brian MasefieldJanuary 6, 2016The mango avocado rolls are great but messy - eat them with your fingers.
Sam GilJanuary 12, 2018Don’t like the noodle choice, but otherwise it’s a solid laksa which is hard to find in nyc / u.s.
