Best

Good food, decent prices. Good lunch place but try and arrive a bit before noon or you'll wait as they get a lot of the Microsoft lunch crowd.

The food used to be very good. My last few visits were pretty disappointing thought. Portions noticably getting smaller, & the food are not as tasty as before. The laksa seems lik...

OK food, easy on wallet, bad service. 11/22/2006

This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. I was promptly seated and my order was taken. It was at around 1:30 pm, so it was fairly busy. Server came back to me after 30 mins to confirm that I'd ordered. When I said I did, he asked me for the name of the dish, which ofcourse I've forgotten. I asked him to give me the menu so that I can tell him which dish I ordered. His response was a grunt, which I thought was very rude. When I told him that the dish I ordered was ""Nasi Lemak"" after looking at the menu, he went back and seemed to enter it in the system. I had my dish in another 10 mins. A soup was served in the mean time, which was not good. My dish was ok, but chicken could have been better cooked. I think I'll give them another shot. Pros: Prompt seating, low price, decent food Cons: bad service. more

Disappoints again and again 10/7/2006

I have to admit we are picky eaters. We eat all around the world and try to sample the best Asian food there is. Taiwan, HK, Tokyo, Indonesia, and the chinatowns of various major cities, etc. etc. Pros: Nice appetizer and deserts Cons: The rest of the food is not worth it more

Unique and delicious flavors 7/19/2006

Last weekend I returned to the Malay Satay Hut several years after my initial meal there. I can say wholeheartedly that never again will I go so long between visits! The service was very good, with our group of six seated promptly for Sunday lunch. Dishes arrived after ordering in amazing time, and every morsel was enjoyed. Highest marks go to the green beans cooked with shrimp paste, roasted eggplant in sambal sauce, and Hokkien Mee noodles with seafood. Also good were the pineapple fried rice and mango chicken. The beef curry was perhaps a bit tough, but still with excellent flavor. Entrees were shared family-style and at $6 8 per plate for generous servings, the meal was economical and resulted in plenty of leftovers. Pros: Superb food, excellent value, generous portions Cons: Parking a bit of a challenge more

Good food but service can be improved 3/23/2006

Having recently moved to this area from San Fran, we are constantly looking for Asian restaurants in the Seattle-area that would prevent us from driving up to Vancouver for our fix. We have finally found our spot to quench our craving for Malaysian food. The food here is very tasty, from roti canai and satays to their curry beef (beef rendang). Overall, the prices are a bit higher than what we were used to in SF, but it sure beats driving. Our only complaint is the service. Once our server took our order he was GONE! Never did he check on us to see if we were doing ok or see that our water glasses were filled. He was quite cocky too, not having to write any of our order down. Take out next time. Pros: Food, Clean environment Cons: poor service, bit expensive more

Inconsistent quality 5/8/2005

I have been going to the restaurant for close to 8-9 years now and have noticed that the quality has degraded since the expansion. It seems that when the owner is at one of his restaurants, the quality seems to be better probably because of his oversight. Some days, the quality of same dishes that I order frequently have been widely inconsistent, ranging from excellent to mediocre. I'm hoping that the owner reads these reviews and take them as constructive criticism to improve and standardize the quality of his menu. The wait staff aren't very customer friendly overall. I will still continue going to the restaurant, but sometimes it's hit and miss on the quality. Pros: good food overall, unique Cons: inconsistent quality, unfriendly wait staff more

FANTASTIC 9/29/2004

I work right down the street from the location in Redmond and decided to give it try since it appeared to always be busy. The food is amazing and the menu choices are incredible with a mixture of Thai, Chinese and Indidan dishes. I would agree with previous reviewers that the service isn't the best but this is certainly one of those places where you can forgive the bad service for the great food. Lunch specials are a great value at $6.45 to $6.95 and portions are huge. This really is one of the better Asian rest. on the eastside! Pros: awesome food, great menu, good value more

Inconsistency 1/28/2003

Agree with JoeBrandon. Serving is getting smaller. Been there a few things and there are no consistency as well. Service is really bad too. Server kept trying to take our food away. I TRIED real hard not to go there. Hope someone opens up another Malaysian Restaurant around here. We NEED competition bad here. more

Great food, CRAPPY service! 11/8/2002

The food is always good at the MSH, but the servers treated us (4 UW college students) as though we were going to walk out without paying. The management was hesitant to let us sit far from the registers, watched over us as we put money out to pay and then quickly counted the money before we even left. Nobody deserves that type of distrustful treatment! Pros: Food Cons: Service, Temperature (cold), Long wait for food more

Never Disappointed! 9/6/2002

The quality of their food is always consistent, so is the service. Love the new location...much better then the previous Chinatown location, much cleaner too. You have to try their Indian style bread, mango salad, hot pots...and everything else on their menu! Pros: Good Parking, Good Service, Good Food more

Nice service and big servings 8/28/2002

The service at this place was awesome. Everything was prompt, I brought in a large party and they even threw in desert for free. The serving sizes were nice and quality was very good. Too bad this place is Cash only. This place was listed at $21-$30, but after drinks, meal and desert, we averaged $12/person Pros: Inexpensive, Good Service Cons: Noisy more

Awesome! 8/13/2002

I just can't believe anyone has given this a bad review -- this is one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in the Seattle area. The ambience is fun, the wait staff friendly and on top of things, the food is great! As a vegetarian, I was really happy. Their tofu-mango entree is wonderfully fresh and spicy. Their spring rolls are unusual and filling. My husband (non-veg) loves his food, but always steals some of mine when we go here. If you're up for an unusual dessert, get the shaved ice (and be prepared for a surprise at the bottom). Oh, and they deliver if you live within 2 miles. Pros: ample parking, awesome food, unique offerings more

don't pass this one up! 8/12/2002

i'm surprised not to see malay satay hut in the running on ""the best of"". i'll have to admit that when i started going to malay satay in the i.d. about 1.5 years ago it was not much to look at. however, the food is excellent, even if the lineups are not. try the roti, the satay, the green beans... anything on the menu is good. the i.d. district was closed due to a fire early 2002 but is PROMISED to re-open any day soon. Pros: food, inexpensive Cons: sometimes crowded more

Diluted! 7/16/2002

The food used to be very good. My last few visits were pretty disappointing thought. Portions noticably getting smaller, & the food are not as tasty as before. The laksa seems like they diluted the flavor by adding too much water - maybe so that they can served more customers with what they have left? Nevertheless, this is the only decent Malay restaurant I can find. Sigh! I guess you have no choice but to go here if you are craving for some deteriorating Malay food. WE need more Malay res. in Puget Sound!!!!! more
