This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. The most common schedule is 11 am–9:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Thursday.

Brooklyn is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Brooklyn is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Best Hainanese chicken in the neighborhood. Their nasi lemak, mee goreng, and satay chicken are delicious too.

Discovered such a delicious hidden gem in Chinatown, Brooklyn β€” an authentic Malaysian spot that truly surprised me in the best way. I ordered the Nasi Lemak and WOW. Total flavor bomb. The rice was fragrant and perfectly cooked in coconut milk with pandan, and every bite had layers of flavor. It came with spicy sambal, crispy anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, hard-boiled egg, and fresh cucumber β€” the balance of savory, spicy, crunchy, and creamy was incredible. The shrimp lo mein with veggies was absolutely delicious, and the chicken satay skewers with curry sauce on the side tied everything together perfectly. Comfort food at its finest β€” especially on a cold, rainy night. Service was great β€” genuinely kind and sweet β€” and everything was reasonably priced. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to try something flavorful and authentic. I’ll 100% be back.

Cozy small restaurant that has a long history of serving excellent food to its local community. My friends have eaten here since they were little kids eating here on a school trip and now they are still eating here in their 20s. Outside of their significance to the local community, the food is incredibly delicious. Each dish is seasoned well and has a smoky wok flavor. The customer service is also very good and we received our dishes fast.

Overall a solid 3 on food. 4 on service - super friendly and a 2.5 on aesthetic… it has seen its days and needs some updating. Very tight space, sticky table and could be cleaner. Food wise, some solid items including the taro nest (surong burong), satay chicken, lady fingers with shrimp… and the morning glory. The Hainan chicken could be smoother, the satay beef less chewy… would skip on the sautΓ©ed tofu, stingray and pineapple fried rice.. the roti was also not good. But I can see their regulars enjoy their dinners here bc of the family friendly atmosphere. If you’re in the area, a good spot for dinner.

Food was delicious and the best Malaysian food I find in NY. We always stop by this restaurant whenever we travel to NY. Staff and the lady owner is very helpful. Try their roti Canai, Oakra, shrimp with Belacan sauce, morning glory veg with Belacan sauce and their butter rice. Hmmm yummy. I have referred a lot of Torontoniana to this place
