Kopitiam

Was missing the taste of authentic Malaysian. Having been there and eating that yummy food, I was ecstatic to find out we had a location right here in NYC! The kaya toast is the classic breakfast sandwich and it was delicious sweet and buttery! We ordered a half boiled egg to go with it. That was flavored with white pepper and soy sauce. Excellent marriage of flavors. This visit was all about the toasts so we ordered the Milo french toast as well as the egg french toast. Glad we dined there as the food didn't travel well as the day wore on. It was too hot for the rice dishes but I'm sure they were good as every table ordered some. Indoor seating is air conditioned and the outdoor is not. Only an oscillating fan and a clear shower partition to separate the diners from one another. We got caught in the rain showers today but luckily the outdoor seating was covered for the most part. My hubby made the joke, just like when we were in Malaysia, hot and humid eating the same food! It was delicious but very pricey.

Very authentic Malaysian street food. The food was good and the service was great. The line was crazy and there was a wait which means you know it's pretty good. The line went pretty fast. The space indoors is pretty small. My only complaint is for people who don't know about Malaysian food and are trying to for the first time the menu would be difficult to understand and there aren't too many pictures.

The Nasi Lemak and the pineapple bun with chicken jerky were divine. Fried squid and stinky bean were delicious. Drinks come in special plastic bags which is cool. Love that they have many menu items to choose from. Desserts were good too.

This place is popular and for good reason. A true Malaysian small plates eatery that perfectly satisfies. The coffee is excellent and so is the food and the little colored desserts. One of the coolest things about living in New York City is you can get authentic international cuisine a subway away. One of my favorites.

Pretty good homemade tasting Malaysian food in the Chinatown/Lower East Side neighborhood on East Broadway there's a Citibike rack across the street next to Seward Park . We got the Sotong Goreng appetizer which is Calamari but it's a lot of little tiny squids with dipping sauces. Also the Pulut Panggang which is sticky rice with shrimp paste. I'd say the squid was better and I'd get potato curry puff if they had it that day but they didn't. I had the Nasi Lemak which is a dry anchovies and peanut over rice and is the national dish of Malaysia. Definitely mix the sambal on the rice ! My friend got Tok Tok Mee which is chewy noodles with shrimp and pork and he liked that. I also had Calamansi ade which taste like lemonade. Best thing though is the Pulut Tai Tai which is a not too sweet dessert of blue sticky rice with Kaya jam made from coconut! Delicious. I wish I had got more than one. That was $3.75 and wrap in banana leaf. The peanut mochi is warm and good on a cold day but it's enough for 3 or 4 people to share because it's so rich so be aware! I'd recommend this place. Tasty food and good prices. No alcohol though.

Kopitiam has been on my bucket list for a while and finally got a chance to try it. It’s super popular and there is always a line but the wait isn’t too bad. The decor is adorable and authentic with vintage-like furnitures. The options weren’t various but everything was really appealing. We had Belacan Wings, Oyster Omelette and Weekend Special Curry Mee to share with a group of two. The food was amazingly delicious and appetizing, especially the Curry Mee, which has a super creamy & flavorful broth. The price is also reasonable with proper portion. We definitely will plan to visit again for its signature breakfast toast and Nasi Lemak in the near future.

Chilled Malaysian-cuisine dining spot! There is a community table that can sit around 8 people in the middle, a small countertop and a few small tables in the back. The food is decently proportioned. The Nasi Lemak is simple in flavor - feels like a home-cooked dish. The Pulut Panggang is nicely wrapped, with perfectly cooked rice - my favourite. The Pan Mee noodle has a bit of spice to it, and reminds me of Pad See Ew Drunken Noodle. All in all, it was a good experience, and a nice escape from the heat of NYC in August. I would come back here again!

This place seems to be quite popular with young wealthier young adults. Well presented meals. I can't say the teh tarik was worth getting, never tasted anything like it Penang or KL before. Assam Laksa was very americanised, not fishy or salty, so not authentic but tasty enough. Curry puff was ok, it's small. The nasi lemak was tasty but their sambal is on the less chilli side. All in all, liked it. Will come again for their hainan chicken and pan mee noodles.

Delicious and cute. Good AC in the hot weather and helpful server when choosing foods as a Malaysian cuisine newbie. Cant wait to come back and try more items.

Dining environment is casual and definitely not a fancy place. They take credit cards. Food is decent. Recommend Hainan chicken rice and raw eggs. No table service.
