Legit Malaysian food here best rendang and laksa in the city. Added I also tried the curry chicken and char Kway teow and being Malaysian this is DEFINITELY the best, most authentic Malaysian hawker style food I’ve had in NYC. Wok hei on CKT is excellent. The flavors of the rendang are mind blowing and tender and the curry chicken has the depth and intensity you’d expect a great curry chicken to have. It’s a dive bar which happens to serve the best Malaysian food in NYC and kitchen is open till 1040pm for last orders. My only thing - I wish the servings would be bigger cuz it’s just so delicious... you gotta order two dishes if you have an appetite.

Can't recommend this place enough. Got the Chow Kwei Tiau and the Nasi Lemak (see pictures). Both screamed home cooking and delicious. Plate was completely cleaned. Place was spacious and comfortable. They were also courteous and pleasant. Alex was an excellent host and took care of everything.

Fantastic service and food. Heather is great, she is so much fun and engaging. More food options than fish market I but just as good. Their classic ginger wings are there along with buffalo wings. The scallion pancakes and yummy noodles were great as usual. If you were ever looking for a neighborhood bar to be a regular at this is the place.

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants on the planet. Mama's menu is A and her sauce is off the charts. I frequent both locations. Best staff and the Bartenders great! You may get a free sake shot if you behave. Grab food, catch a game, brings friends, family or a date.

Go here!! Fish market originally opened in seaport and I was so excited to see this new location open up. Came in with my husband for dinner tonight and it didn’t disappoint! Cool bartender, great food and great drinks. Super clean and the food came out quick. Come try it, you won’t regret it!
