Good Chow Kue Teow

by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor

I always like Malaysian food and I have heard so many good things about this place and I finally got a chance to try it out. But I think I made a mistake of ordering the wrong dish.

MY boyfriend's stir-fried Noodles, AKA CHOW KUEH TEOW, is very tasty. I decided to venture out of my usual Prawn Mee or Curry dishes and tried this "Clay Pot Pearl Noodle Soup". Turns out it was a disappointment. It tasted kind of like congee but instead of rice it was noodles. It was kind of plain.

I would still give this place a second chance since I didn't try out their strong dishes. But all I could say is don't order that clay pot noodle soup unless you like bland noodle soup!

• Pros: Cheap Dishes, huge space

crowded but worth it for the cheap eats!

Like the review below says, you don't come here for the service or the ambiance, but at these prices who cares! Came here with some friends on new years day for an early dinner and it was super packed (was surprised, thought most ppl would still be hungover lol) so had to wait a bit even though we had a reservation. Given the crowd, we also had to wait a while for the food (but it gave us a chance to catch up anyway), and every time a waiter came it was a different one—and they didn't care to put the right dish in front of the right person, just put it wherever. The staff didn't waste time with pleasantries, and had to ask for water, but they got everything to us that we needed eventually. The food was good, not the best I've ever had, but still tasty and like I said, haven't seen prices this low in a while. I enjoyed my roti canai & singapore rice noodles, and my friends enjoyed their various noodle soups. I would go back again! Worth trying.

• Pros: super cheap for NYC
• Cons: crowded, ok service

good food, good price

by daveseats

You don't come here for the service and you don't come here for the ambiance. You come here to get good quality food for a low price. Everybody should start off the meal with the roti canai. The curry dipping sauce is delicious and there's always left over after the appetizer is done but keep the sauce in case you want to dip something into it later on in the meal. The hainese chicken is always yummy. Great for groups and you can get away with spending less then $20 a person and getting filled with good food.

• Pros: roti canai, fast bite, good for groups
• Cons: loud environment

hair in the noodle soup

by balharbour

I had a dinner with my friend this weekend. The waitress does not communicate in English. It was hard to ask the recommendations and menu. My friend ordered a noodle, and it was black hair in the soup!!

We just left them without complaining...because they do not speak English. What can we do? Besides, here is a cheap casual place. I do not expect them a good service.

• Pros: cheap but not junk
• Cons: cleanness

So-so food, loud restaurent

by misobomb

There were 4 kids and two adults on the table behind us. All kids were screaming and expressing themselves loud, but their seemingly parents did not seem to mind it at all. We started to get stressed to eat over children's scream, and asked a waiter(some waiters and waitress does not speak English) to tell the parents to control their kids for other customers. The waiter told us he would have a manager to take care of it, but nothing was changed until we gave up our meal and left that place. We are not going back there.

• Cons: Very loud. They don't take care of customer's complain.
