I usually go to their second Elmhurst location in Queens, but it closed after Covid hit. Although this location is much farther, the atmosphere is much brighter like an actual welcoming restaurant. Still not very spacious, it is definitely bigger than the Elmhurst one back then. In addition to fresh hot food you can order, they also sell other Malaysian goodies on the counter and in the fridge like kuih, pandan kayan spread, mo mo cha cha, and black lo mei. Hands down! You have to order their curry. I made the mistake of not and ended up regretting it. Their curry puff and curry noodles are the best I've ever had! Their prawn mee which I ordered was the last thing to came out after everyone finished their meal already and is the worst I've ever had. The other dishes were delicious as well - all the other varieties of noodles my family ordered to share (look at the photos for reference!) Although, the space is quite small there's only actually 1 server walking around so it might be a wait during busy times, but regardless they were very friendly and helpful!
02.21.2023 Tuesday@2:20p I was looking for the Malaysian dessert for awhile and came across this place. Grabbed some dessert and will definitely come back and try the foods here.
The menu is loaded! In need of a lunch spot, we picked "Little" House as it was not that little and accommodated our bigger group well. The interior is warm enough to make you feel right at home. With a ton of selections, this restaurant has something for you! For appetizers, the Curry Puff ($7.50) had a similar light flakiness to ones I had in the past, but the amount of potato was too overwhelming. It could have done with an extra ingredient dynamic. The Satay Tofu ($9.50) was a new unique dish for me. A huge coat of peanut sauce is drenched over tofu puffs, with some beansprouts as embellishment. This made for a light decadent appetizer, that wasn't bad. Then, the entrees started coming through. The Hokkien Mee ($12.95) was literally lo mein. The Salted Egg Prawn Chow Fun ($13.95), which sounded intriguing first glance, was literally a bland Beef Chow Fun with a couple salted egg shrimps. My favorite was the Claypot Fish Curry ($28.95). I was skeptical at first , given it was my pick and it was the priciest of the bunch. But, this meal blew everything ordered out of the park. There were plenty of ingredients in this, from okra to fish fillet, that you're basically picking treasure out of this slightly spicy curry. If we weren't full from all the noodle dishes, rice would have been the best companion to go along with the curry. While the food for the most part tasted average, the huge range of selections makes this Malaysian spot your choice whenever you don't know what to eat at Bensonhurst. Plus, I noticed they also have an affordable lunch/dinner deal!
I had a pretty good experience, I was surprised to find that this place is rated poorly. I got the nasi lemak which came with pandan flavor rice (a spin on the normal nasi lemak). I love how crisp and flavorful the sides for the pandan rice was. They had lunch specials too and there was plenty of seating was available on a weekend afternoon. They do have a pretty extensive list of malaysian desserts that I wanted to try but was just too full to, so I will definitely be coming back again!
Hm, more like 3.5 stars. Stopped by here to grab takeout for lunch. They have an $8 lunch special and $12-$13 dinner special going on. We tried Lunch 1, 2, 3 and Dinner 4. The roti is portioned pretty small but it definitely hits the spot for one person. The curry was perfectly spicy and contained one piece of chicken and one piece of potato (like all other places). Entrees were decent in portion size for the price. The Wonton Goh Loh Rice Noodle was topped with fried onion bits. It overwhelmed the whole dish. The wontons were tasty. The Seafood Rice Noodle Soup was overall bland but we used it as a palate cleanser. The Indian Mee Goreng had a nice kick to it but very heavy-handed on the ketchup flavor. The Chow Kueh Teow was our favorite. Overall, would order that dish again. Service was eh. They forgot our Pulut Hitam for dessert so we went back later to pick it up. They gave us 4 portions of dessert to compensate for our time since it was their mistake. TLDR; get the Chow Kueh Teow + Pulut Hitam and you'll be one happy gal or guy.
Was craving Malaysian food and saw this place as I was walking around the neighborhood. This placed used to be Pappa Rich and I didn't get to try it back then when they were open. The store was spacious and had a lot of seating. I was craving nasi lemak and also wanted to try new things. So, I ordered a small nasi lemak (I appreciate they have this option because I can never finish a regular-sized nasi lemak), a bakwon and a nasi bakar. The total came out to around $10. The nasi lemak was small as expected and it did not come with chicken like the regular size one. It was mostly rice, but it was not bad. The bakwon was very crunchy and yummy, but extremely oily. The nasi bakar was pretty good, coconuty with dry shrimp. Overall, quick service and food was okay. I can't believe I didn't see the fried carrot cake on their menu. It's one of my favorite dishes that I have not been able to find anywhere, so I am definitely coming back for that!
