Very authentic and hits the spot. Tried their curry noodles with yong tau foo and it is awesome, especially on a cold winter night. Would love to go back there again soon and try other dishes.
One of the highlights of my time while living in NYC. Delicious, toothsome, spicy delights like beef rendang; crowd-pleaser nasi lemak; even the (to some) adventuresome Assam fish head curry fails to disappoint. It's become a "must visit" pilgrimage stop every time I visit.
So good!. Visited this place with 5 of my friends during our weekend New York getaway and is the best meal I can remember having in this city. Prices are good, food is flavourful and the place is cozy. Couldn't really ask for a better experience.
Delicious!. Loved dinner at Nyonya the other night. Tried the pasembur (shredded cucumber, jicama and bean sprouts with tofu, shrimp pancake, jelly fish, ground peanut, dried onion, sliced hard-boiled egg, and "special sauce") and the masak lemak (beef sauteed with green and red peppers, onions, carrots, dried red chilies, and ginger in a spicy chili gravy). Both were fantastic; the pasembur was a huge portion for an appetizer and unlike anything I've ever had. Definitely picked upon the Chinese influence in the masak lemak, but this dish had more ginger and spice than most Chinese dishes. Atmosphere was great, too.

Very Pleasing Malasian Food. OK, I only went here because 26 other online reviewers told me to. That's the kind of guy I am - tell me what to do and I'll do it. Without question, I'm a virtual human robot! Well, I did not know exactly what to expect. I really didn't know if it was an Indian or a Chinese restaurant or what, but on a chilly December afternoon, I wandered in.
It wasn't crowded at all at 1:45PM on a Wednesday for lunch and I was seated immediately. I took the advice of my fellow online reviewers and ordered the Roti Canai and the Beef Rendang. Well thank God for the waitress because she asked if I wanted the "Beef Rendang" or the "Beef Rendang Rice". When I asked her what the difference was, she told me the "Beef Rendang" was a family style giant dish. Kudos to her, I would have been carrying around a load of leftovers all over Chinatown if she hadn't informed me!
So, I got the Roti Canai for an app. This looked like a darned dish-rag on a plate with some thick yellow soup along side to accompany it. Looks are VERY deceiving! This very special Indian style crepe is just about the best thing I've ever had at a restaurant, and it tasted great! Just enough curry chicken (the "thick soup") with which to soak up the all "not too thin" curry sauce with the roti,too! These guys know what they're doing.
For a main I got Beef Rendang Rice. I really did not know what to expect, but other reviews said to get this, so I did. When it came out, I thought, "Damn, big deal, some pulled pork and some white rice!", that's what it looked like. I was ready to ask for a bun and some slaw, and for them to pickle those cukes on the plate too so I could make me a Carolina BBQ sammitch.
Not necessary! As I ate this seemingly plain mish-mash of meat along side the white rice, the taste started to grow on me! And as much as I dislike the spices of cinnamon and cloves, the way they use these here will make you a true believer! As a bonus, I continued tasting this great curry on my tongue for the rest of the day.
I was really happy to see that Nyonya was affiliated with the restaurant, "Penang" here on my UWS and that the menu was practically identical, but GM Chrysler! - the prices up here at Penang are about three times that of Nyonya!
Think I'll spring for the subway round-trip to Nyonya if I want Malaysian food again. Reviews like this are why I HATE the freakin' UWS!
Craving Hainan chicken but I ordered curry lee (my other favorite). Basically you can go wrong w/any food.
Favorite Malaysian Restaurant. Service usually leaves little to be desired but the food is always good. Some of the better hainanese chicken in Chinatown. Try the Sarang Burong which is a fried taro bowl filled with stir fry chicken, veggies, etc. The Indian Pancake with the curry chicken dipping sauce is always good. And get the chendol ice for dessert!
After nearly 10 months of eating too much bland food in Colombia. We were in the need for some spice. As we were in New York, and staying in China Town. Why not have some good Asian food with some spice. For some reason the restaurants in China Town did n

Hokkien Char Mee- thick udon like noodles in dark soy sauce stir fried with beef, chicken, rather ok…but somehow I couldn’t help but think this was a “Malaysian Chinese” dish in the way chop suey is a “American Chinese” dish if you know what I mean…
I am a Malaysian so getting to taste authentic Malaysian food on my first trip to NYC was an awesome deal. Food was absolutely delicious, just as I was told. Hubby had the Nasilemak.. the rice was so so flavourful. I had the Prawn Mee.. the broth was so so flavourful. Got to taste a bit of what my friends ordered.. the Fish Head Beehoon was delicious, so was the Mee Siam, the Roti Tissue, the Lobak and the Satay. If only they ship to the midwest!! Haha! Awesome food. If you are Malaysian in NYC for the first time like me, you got to try Nonya!
Like some of the other posts have stated, this place is CASH ONLY. Waitresses were kind. Food was really good (spare ribs were my personal favorite). Atmosphere was chill when we first arrived but got super busy real quick because it was dinner hours. The only complaint of the service is the lack of napkins and lack of ice/lemon for the water.
If I wanted comfort food, this is the place to be. My usual is a Malaysian Sweet and Sour Pork lunch special that comes with jasmine rice and a chicken soup with some vegetables. I also order roti canai when I’m feeling extra hungry. The taste is close to home, the Philippines. For me, they’re the only ones that can do the sweet and sour dish some justice. My husband ordered chicken curry after asking a guy from the other table what he ordered.
The people are kind, however the place is noisy — if that’s your deal breaker. They only accept CASH only. Toilets are decent. When you can, dine by the window. For me, it’s the best spot in the house.
The team that runs the place has a knack of remembering people. And they always remember my order, my usual. If Benny is there, order the Milo! We love this place!
This is another must visit restaurant every time I’m New York.
The first time we visited was in 2012 and the experience was amazing.
Since then i always visit every time I’m in New York.
The food quality and taste always hits the spot!
When you come by do your self a favor and get the paratha roti and curry! The roti is so soft and the curry is so flavorful! My party ordered two and we devoted it before we touched our main dishes.
For the main dishes I had the prawn mee it is a popular dish here and is a soup with a fish broth base. Super delicious and spicy just like I like it.
My wife had the seafood Tom yam. And the broth was freaking amazing. In my opinion I would combine the spicy from the prawn mee and the flavors from the seafood Tom yam
My bestie had the pad Thai with shrimp delicious as well.
This restaurant is definitely worth a visit as much as possible.
i must mention that this is a cash only restaurant.
My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant for 7 years now, and we've never been disappointed. The food is always delicious, the customer service is phenomenal, the restaurant is clean, and the prices are great.
We've tried a variety of dishes on the menu, and everything we've had has been top-notch. Our favorites include the ginger duck, sesame chicken and the entries. The portions are generous, and the flavors are always spot-on.
The service is always excellent. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive, and they're always happy to make recommendations.
Loved all the dishes here. The morning glory and the curry laksa were my favorite. Cash only.
Everything here is good, except maybe for the fact that you can settle your bill only in cash. Whenever my wife and I get a craving for Malaysian and Singaporean food, this is the place we go to in Chinatown.
It’s Cash only. The food was amazing, one of the best Malaysian places i have visited. The chili sauce that came with my hainanese chicken was not as good as ones I have had at other places but still ok. My friend ordered the beef curry which I have not tried before. The beef was so well cooked , not dry or though. We also ordered the Roti canai, thin, crispy and lightly sweet, goes well with the curry dipping sauce. Personally I like it just as is with out the sauce. It was pretty busy on a Tuesday night and the small tables near the front is a bit tight.
The beef rendang with the coconut rice is an elite combo. The seafood noodle dish alone i could kill a whole bowl. Very reliable place to come to. Comes fast and food is very affordable. I recommend coming with a bigger group and sharing everything. ALSO the roti kanai is crack.
I've been here a bunch of times, they're serving up some legit grub. If you're wondering what to try, go for the roti canai, the bean curd in casserole, and Hainanese Chicken.
