Nyonya

I was stunned for a second that nyonya is closed down but its not! Phew… luckily there was this young lady handing out flyers informed me that the restaurant changed its location to across the street. I swear, i thought for a moment, my favorite restaurant for south east asian food is gone forever.

Roti was good. Food, which we ordered the thai veggie dinner, was ok. It was greasier than expected for a veggie dish. What made the experience so poor was that the waitress demanded a tip from us as we were leaving the restaurant. The host stopped us asking if our food was ok, which said it was all right. Then the waitress, who wasn't even our waitress, said, oh well, you know that the bill doesn't include a tip. You should leave one. We were very offended and felt that no one has a right to a tip. They didn't check on us during dinner to see if the food was ok and they didn't refill our tea. They forgot to bring out our rice until we asked them. A tip is a privilege for a job well done, not a right b/c it's part of a job to serve someone their food. Don't go there unless you plan on tipping for poor service and mediocre food.

the appetizer roti canai was SO good. The curry was so good. omg. but there was no chicken in my curry =[ kinda sad about that. The i order a fried noodle dish that was okay. ive had better. and also ate this spicy vegetable but it wasnt goood cuz there was bits of dried fish in it i think . but the roti canai was so good. want to eat some now.

greasy, greasy, greasy didn't seem authentic cheap but cheap in quality as well

I live nearby and always enjoy Nyonya. Great place for a group but also get delivery a lot. Huge menu from adventurous items to the standards. The Assam Laksa is delicious. Just ordered deliver, I'm told Min. Deliver is $10 not $6.

If you are looking for authentic malaysian/singaporean food, I think what they put on the plate there is close enough. They even have Yusheng during the CNY period, so it's good. Price is decent if you are ordering dishes to share. It would be much cheaper if you were to order your own (ie noodles dishes, fried rice, etc). Only downside is they don't take credit card - cash only. But overall, I'm more than satisfied. Definitely returning to eat.

Nyonya is as close to great Malaysian food in Manhattan as you are going to get. Its a no-frills restaurant that just serves classic Malaysian dishes. I get cravings for the har mee (prawn mee) every few weeks and each time, it does not disappoint. The poh piah is also a fantastic starter, as is the roti chanai, roti teleur.. I could go on. The food is consistently good at Nyonya and its sister restaurant, Penang, in the UWS (which is where we walk to when we're pressed for time to travel to Chinatown) but you can't beat the original Nyonya is value for money and is excellent quality.
