Excellent Roti Canai and Clay pot chicken . The prawn Mee is also awesome. For those that do not like seafood broth, avoid this dish. You can request them to also charge your smartphones.

Kimmie Ohh

Get their Roti canai - the Roti is huge & super crispy ! Also get their hainanese chicken & chicken rice ! Their beef scrambled egg chow fun is delicious, too! Their chow kueh teow has a nice kick to it

Ben K.

Solid Singaporean food in Soho. Get the roti prata , Hokkien char mee, prawn mee , chicken rice , and wash it all down with a Tiger Beer .

Greg Tan

As a Malaysian, it doesn't get better than this in Manhattan. The prawn mee , assam laksa and char koay teow are great for lunches . For dinner , get the sambal stingray (!!!) and sambal kangkung.

Albert Tong

The coconut pudding is great for coconut lovers. Huge amount & the meat was thick & refreshing so save room at the end. Get their roti telur as an appetizer .

Daniel Malia

Roti canai was more flaky/crispy than normal stretchy tissue. The rojak was more sweet than spicy . The nasi lemak was standard but the asam laksa was awesome. Good and cheap Malaysian food !!

Brad Klein

As everyone says, Roti is amazing. Prawn Mee was meh (and I like seafood ). Squid appetizer (like 5th one down) was actually really good ! Sweet and savory. As was Beef Rendang . Cash only .

Karen

The food here is so, so good. Plenty of menu items to choose from. Recommended: spicy seafood fried rice , Haianese chicken , and to start, the roti canai .

Alex Chiritescu

Pretty good malay food. Tried the ginger duck and the shrimp with eggplant . Duck was super soft and with a nice texture. Not much shrimp with the eggplant , but it was tasty.

Luke Kingma

You'll have to trek north of Canal to find Nyonya, but it's worth twice the walk. Best Malaysian in Chinatown by a long shot, and one of very few to serve fresh coconut water straight from the source.

Christina Chin

Yummy malay food at affordable price . Beef curry , chicken soup and roti all tasty and good size portion. Cash only !!

Tonie Wan

Fantastic overall. There’s a vast menu of choices. Tried 10 different dishes and they were all good.

Carol

The roti !! It was fantastic. The food proportions are decently generous. I really liked the green beans

Jeremy Foo

Comes close to straits style food. Spiciness is tuned to the American palate though so 0.5/10 for Singaporeans/Malaysians.

Joe Sheppard

I've *finally* found a decent roti in NYC -- rich and buttery, flaky but stretchy! The mee goreng was not bad either, so I'd happily recommend this place to any visitors from south Asia / Oceania

Lori Luo

A variety of Malaysian and other Asian-inspired dishes are served at Nyonya, such as the Hainanese Chicken , Roti Canai , and an excellent Curry Noodle Soup .

Angela Wen

Yum! Roti canai , Malaysian iced coffee is a must. If you come with a group, order full size hainanese chicken with chicken broth rice as a side!

@BigAppleScoop

Roti Canai ! Beef Rendang ! Coconut Rice ! Great tasting Malaysian food at reasonable prices. If there’s a line outside, it’s worth the wait. Cash is king! Stop by an ATM before eating here.

Mari Abe

Quite possibly in my list of top 10 fave NYC restaurants . My go to dishes are Hainese chicken over rice (white meat only), Seafood Tom Yum noodle soup and Salted Fish with Chinese broccoli .

Joan Park

Roti Canai , Hainanese Chicken with Chicken Rice and Kang Kung Belacan to hit all flavors and food groups. Stays true to what I grew up eating in Singapore.

Time Out New York

Try our favorite version of beef rendang . The tender beef is simmered low & slow in a fragrant mixture of clove , cinnamon , lemongrass & coconut milk . It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011. Read more

Ardo Uudmäe

Simple place with decent food and full of asian people (that is a good sign for an Asian restaurant ????)

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Lunch special can't be beat! It's $6-8 for soup and an entree. The service is friendly and fast and the food is delicious.

Terry Mak

So many good things here. Oh!!! Get: roti canai , Malaysian ice tea or ice coffee , young tofu , abc... This place never disappoints and price is also good. :)

jake furst

the beef rendang (Malaysian beef curry ) is brisket-like in texture and really really tasty. at lunch it's $6 including rice . yes please.

Ting

My go-to Malaysian place. Get the roti canai , egg and seafood flat noodles with the brown sauce , and beef rendang .

Edmund Boey

As close to authentic south East Asian food as possible in New York City , make sure you get beef rendang and kangkong belachan ✌????️

Bonnie He

This place was packed with people.! I got the NYONYA curry chicken and Malaysia style shrimps and okra . Good food! I definitely wanna go back again!

Eva W.

Every dish here is incredibly delicious, but the roti canai , char kway teow noodles , and the crispy golden squid are essential eating!!!!!

Flora Cheng

Get the Chow kueh teow and kang kung belacan ! First time here, and can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu.

Jack Reeves

Beef curry ($6.75) is just a smaller portion of the beef rendang ($15) - better for a solo diner . Add a roti to round out the meal.

Jen Han

Been coming here for years and the roti canai is still my favorite thing ever. My other go to dish is asam laksa but that's an acquired taste. Cash only

Kiwi Wang

LOVE this place! The hainanese chicken and chicken broth rice , and duck broth soup noodles are amazing.

Sass Conf

Serious Eats Top 10 Vegan spot in NYC. That means: this place is worth checking out http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2014/03/kenji-top-10-vegan-bites-nyc.html

John Duarte

Great food, great price, and its a perfect spot to try something new and tasty. The shrimp puff was definitely delicious.

Liana Lau

I think this one is better than its sister restaurant in Brooklyn. Pretty cheap , good Malaysian food . I really like the Hainanese chicken . :) Saigon is also across the street!

Sophie Ah Choo

:D I enjoyed this place! I made a video review if you would like to see the food for yourself: <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/pw7uPn24nFY?list=PL-Dq_PEJ5z4QMeYQyqQPpXzeIFgtXaRbI"target="_blank" data-sig="JYHz5OqWYBX0Gs0Qk/Mbrww/euM=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">https://youtu.be/pw7uPn24nFY?list=PL-Dq_PEJ5z4QMeYQyqQPpXzeIFgtXaRbI</a>

The bread and curry starters and beef rendang are rich and delish. Also love coconut pudding .

Kian Lam Kho

Love this Penag restaurant . Curry yong tao foo, crispy fired baby squid , roti canai , beef rendang ... all delicious. Read more

Sharlene Juste

Amazing Malaysian! The curry stews could double for Laksa . Very close to the real deal. (Yes, I've been to Malaysia.)

Jason Cronk

Get the lunch special . Great value . Mango chicken and rice was amazing. Fast service ! I would definitely recommend this place/come back here.

Alex Tsu

Roti Canai , Prawn Mee , Satay , and Nasi Lemak -- you can't go wrong with any of these gems

Luke Pack

Beef curry was great with just a little spice. Huge space and clean . Good service .

Jon Morales

This place rocks my socks. Fresh coconut . Food is delicious. Appetizers are a must. I pretty much tried them all. And beef rendang is bomb.

ZenFoodster

My staple meal here is a fresh watermelon juice , roti canai , their kang kung w/ shrimp paste , Nyonya House Special jumbo prawns & Hainanese chicken w/ rice .

Honghui Yu

One of the few places to get Malaysian food in Manhattan but I was not impressed. Vegetarians will be hard out to find anything good here.

Huey O

Throughout the years, they've become more accommodating to vegetarians . Amazing dishes! Get the ABC and hunt for the palm seeds.

Pratheeksha KS

Do not miss the coconut pudding or roti canai . What's terrible is though there's literally one vegetarian option in the three page menu they have and wouldn't be surprised if it had some fish sauce

Bokyung Park

Best Malay cuisine in Manhattan. It's Michelin, and it’s CASH ONLY !

Evan Chen

One of the best Roti Canai I had! Make sure you order one.
