I personally like the food taste. Real Asian taste. But don't like the services. The restaurant was superb cold with such low... air cond temperature but the staff only increase 2F to keep us warm. Read more
Malaysian Cuisine at its finest!! Wasn't able to take a picture of the Seafood fried rice because I was hungry ???? I wanted to... try the spare ribs but they were sold out. Too bad but overall, the food were good, the service was a bit slow just because theyonly have a few crew. Read more
At the Shainghai Plaza. One of my favorites in this plaza. They have great selection of dishes. I thought at first, I would be... intimidated since I never had Malaysian food but no, you'll be just fine. Overall experience is great! Read more
It was my first time trying Malaysian cuisine and I loved every bite! This restaurant is located in a busy plaza with tight... parking. No reservations required. The interior has a very clean and welcoming vibe. Service was a bit slow since they only hadtwo waiters, but they were nice. We ordered the mango chicken and a curry dish. Very unique and blended flavors. I wouldrecommend if you wanted something new! Read more
It's so rare to find Malaysian cuisine and this place just hits the spot. I'm so happy we finally found our go to. The service... was great, but we also came for dinner time on a Wednesday night. Of course, no parking at Shanghai Plaza, the place is alwaysfull, and I'm proud of that esp being Vegas grown. But I was determined to try this place. I'm so glad I remembered! We orderedthe Soft Shell crab with aromatic flavors (frkn AMAZING), the sizzling Tofu (also full of flavors),and the Singapore fried ricenoodle. It was perfect servings for 2 people. The price is affordable esp with how much they serve. That soft shell crab wasdelicious! You would think it would be all soggy bc of the sauce, but NOPE, it retained its crunch - but those flavors...wow.I'm not used to seasoned soft shell crab lol and now I know where to get it! Their sizzling Tofu def sizzled when it arrived toour table. It hit all the right spots. The Singapore fried rice noodle is a compromise between fried rice and crispy noodle. Theflavor was perfect for me. We'll be coming back for sure. Read more
Fun times last night at the always bustling Shanghai Plaza in Chinatown for Valentine’s Day. Never had Malaysian food before,... so we tried the Banana Leaf Cafe. With his “blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European recipes,” Chef Lee brought themagic on all levels, with a vibrant + deeply satisfying mix of flavors + textures. Thumbs up on those Curry Puffs, the ChileanSeabass, Banana Leaf Curry Chicken, Hokkien Noodles + the “Three Treasures” mix of eggplant, okra + string beans (plenty ofleftovers for tonight!). It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without dessert, so we brought home some excellent buns from the 85CBakery Cafe at the plaza. Read more
We came here based on a deal from Groupon and didn't really know what to expect with Malaysian food. Based on this experience,... we're both big fans now! Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - both dishes based on servers recommendation and they were absolutelydelicious. Banana Leaf Curry Chicken (M3) had a slight kick that went well with the savoriness of the curry. The most tenderchicken ever! Was very surprised at the texture since we knew the veggies would be tender but not the protein. Nyonya GrilledFish (SF12) was a whole fish grilled inside aluminum foil with a great sauce that had sweetness from pineapples, acidity fromtomatoes, slight chew from the green beans, and the eggplant that melts in your mouth. The fish was also super tender and fellaway from the bone with the lightest pressure. Ambience: 5/5 - simple decorations but very clean. Service: 5/5 - our server,Jennifer, was super friendly and chatted with us a bit regarding some great recommendations. Value for price: 5/5 - largeportion and we had leftovers Read more
Decent food but taste not fully there. Oyster omelette was a disappointment, nothing Malaysian about it. Oysters also tasted a... little funny. Coconut rice was fragrant but a touch overcooked, too soft. Sambal and chicken was spot on. Bill was higher thanthe menu prices???? but I rolled with it. Also they charged me an item I didn't get so that one I disputed Read more
