Reviews for Secret Recipe in Plano, TX
This restaurant is the real deal - authentic, delicious Malaysian food made by the chef/owner who is from Malaysia. The... Malaysian classics such as char kway teow, nasi lemak, and laksa use ingredients and cooking techniques that are rooted inMalaysian cuisine. This is not a restaurant that is serving Americanized Malaysian food. The menu does have a section ofAmericanized Asian food such as kung pao/orange/mongolian beef/chicken etc. If you've never tried Malaysian food, this can be agood starting point. But after eating at his restaurant for years, I have become good friends with the chef/owner, and he hasgradually introduced me to the beautiful and bold flavors of Malaysian cuisine. I see a lot of recent reviews complaining aboutprice increases and smaller portions. It is unfortunate that some changes are being made, but this is the nature of operatingany restaurant during a time of rampant inflation and skyrocketing food costs. I encourage anyone who is considering eating atSecret Recipe for the first time to meet the chef/owner because his passion for what he does and the service he provides isunmatched. Read more

I ordered online and my items were ready on time. My favorite dish was the Nasi Lemak. Loved the crunchy of the peanuts and... fried anchovies, spicy sambal, rich fried egg and fragrant rice. The roasted hainanese chicken was good and would be better toeat while dinning in. Read more
Tried their curry, satay, laksa, soft shelf crab, Tom Yum etc. My favorite were Chee Cheong Fun (Sweet Flat Rice Noodles) and... Oyster Omelet. So many food items to choose from with so many varieties. A place to fulfill my Asian food cravings. Willrecommend. Read more
Good food and an extremely friendly staff! We are from out of town & were supposed to arrive close to closing time. When I... called they told us it was no problem & they?d be waiting for us. I would definitely visit again next time I?m in town. Read more
I?ve ordered takeout twice from this place, the first time food was awesome, I thought this was the best Malaysian restaurant in... the area. Although I had to wait 30 mins after they changed the status on my delivery app as ?ready to pick up?. The second timeI ordered from them I realized they just changed the status on the delivery app however they want it. I ordered to pickup at amuch later time and got the confirmation, but they just texted me said the food was done 50 mins earlier than my scheduled time.When I rushed to the restaurant, the food was sadly placed on the pickup table for 50 mins. The satay is melted with the paperbag, the hainanese chicken is not eatable because it?s been sitting for too long, it?s super chickeny and fishy?. And theyforgot to put salt in my super soggy Kway Teoy. And the samble shrimp is just bad. When I contacted the deliver platform for theissue, the restaurant had a absolutely terrible attitude, nothing was eatable and they offered to refund me $10, for a dinnerthat I paid $66 for. Never again man, bad attitude is the worst thing a restaurant can have. They messed up the pickup timeevery time, messed up the food, and refused to admit any mistakes. I simply do not appreciate any business like this. Read more
I have been to this location many times but I just realized I never reviewed the place although I think I have reviewed the... place in Carrollton. Whenever we travel and we are able to stop in the DFW area, we try to stop by and Plano Secret Recipe is myfavorite. Food is pretty close to authentic and if Alex is around, he never fails to stop and say Hello. We love the food somuch that we had lunch there and also took some home for dinner. Read more
