16 reviews for Nyonya
The Indian pancake is really good. I can eat it without the curry sauce, but it makes it that much more fantastic. However, I don't like it when the Chinese waitresses try and talk to me I feel like I'm betraying my company because they can't understand us. I had the curry beef stew, it was really spicy, but it was good. The rice dishes are very filling.
I'll be back.

Party of 10 looking for a place to eat late Wednesday night. We got peeps craving Malaysian so Nyonya is the chosen one. It's right before closing so it's empty but the staff is very gracious and welcomes us in...who said New Yorkers are mean?!
We ordered quite a few items but my favs were the coconut rice, home made roti canai (Indian pancake), mango chicken, and the peanut pancake (it's a dessert and somebody seriously needs to give up the recipe). Other dishes were good too and I recall everything being very flavorful.
Interior was quite nice and they had tables for large parties so we were very comfy. Service was outstanding from the moment we walked in until the moment we left.
Thanks Nyonya, I'll be turning the Bay upside down and sideways looking for that peanut pancake (anyone who is in the know and is sympathetic to my plight should msg me...immediately).
Um, no. Just no.
Maybe I've just been spoiled with good Malaysian food in the past, but nothing here was that flavorful. I was excited to try this place, especially since it was absolutely packed on a Thursday night. Total disappointment. The extra star is for the decor.
The oyster omelette was just gross (and I suspect, a way to get rid of not-so-fresh seafood). Roti Canai, their house specialty, didn't taste right.The spareribs were essentially chunks of flavorless, chewy FAT. And please don't give me that "spareribs aren't Malaysian" bullshit. This was beyond bad.
Spicy Thai Chicken- NOT SPICY AT ALL. Perhaps they thought our American palates couldn't take any flavor? Not impressed.
The only semi-good dish was the RICE. This should tell you something.
Oh, and BTW, it's cash only. Lovely experience of sitting in the place as collateral while my boyfriend ran across the street to HSBC. Won't be making a return visit.
I'm not a big fan of Malaysian food since I think it just tastes like chinese food. The prices here are reasonable I guess. I had some spicy thai chicken over rice which was pretty good. I liked the fact that they asked whether I wanted white or dark meat. The dish was tasty yet did not get me full at all. I would eat here again but if I really want to fill myself up, I rather go for some all you can eat sushi than come here.
The roti appetizer is why I go here.
It's so crisp and the curry sauce is just right.
Not too spicy, not too mild.
I wonder if it has chicken stock in it....oh well.
Don't ask, don't tell.
The food is not as good as their sister restaurant in Chinatown; but better than the one on 8th Ave (Brooklyn). This restaurant gets one star because of the service provided by the manager in her 40s. According to her, the customer is "never right." We frequented the restaurant because of it's proximity (to us), and lack of other authentic Malaysian restaurants around. Considering only the food, it is good value. There are plenty of customers who visit this restaurant, and she could afford to be rude to some of them.
We have been coming here for a number of years. I work near the Nyonya in Chinatown and I must say, the one in Chinatown tastes LEAGUES better than this restaurant. The use of herbs and spices in Chinatown is more authentic. Blander on 86th st. However, bear in mind that the dishes in Chinatown costs more, and have less in portions (yes I went to their new place next to Ferraras too). The one in 86th st has decent food. We order our staple of currys (curry chicken, beef rendang, curry beef, nasi lemak) and for dessert we share a sweet black rice soup (I forgot the name). It's cheap, satisfying, and since the staff recognizes us (as we go there almost every weekend), the service is not bad... however, beware the manager/lady owner... she is ruuuuude. Everyone else tries but not her... unless she knows you well, of course.
I Live in this neighborhood and have passed by this place many times and it is always full. My friend asked me to lunch and we went there. I ordered as ethic as I could get. The owner helped me decide. The food was amazing. The food was rich in flavor and unusual in presentation. The decor is simple. Tables are sturdy and comfortable. The portions of food were larger than expected for the price. I would definately go there again. There are so many dishes to try that look interesting. Dinner is very crowded, Lunch was not so crowded and nicer.
This place is much better than the one on 8th ave (because of the people!).
The way the interior items are placed makes the restaurant much better for each party.
The food is the same.
There's this fish tank [great for little kids!].
+The food is good.
I recommend:
half chicken with garlic **** my favorite
coconut rice
sea bass
mango chicken
appetizer - pancake/crape with chicken and potato
+ cute and clean place
+ did not rush to finish
+ excellent prices
-tight - go early before dinner time otherwise very crowded
The food i can say is the best Malaysian "in the area" (bensonhurst). The service was good considering its brooklyn. I go here most of the time when the vietnamese place across the street is packed and this place is pretty good for groups. Some of the food can be better, but i really have no complaints for this place.
I must say I absolutely adored this place. I passed by one day and decided to take my family for dinner. I've been to the Nyonya in Brooklyn's 8th avenue and I must say this place is 10 times better. The waiters and waitresses are friendly and polite.
The food here was great. My brother and I started with an ABC ice which was so big that I just couldn't finish but so tasty I didn't want to waste. Around the table we had the Indian Pancakes w/ curry.
The waitresses were very helpful in suggesting entrees. We had Hainanese chicken, malaysian ribs, sauteed vegetables, bbq pork chops, and a vege casserole. The meal was quite delicious and filling.
The decor was quite impressive. I expect that all of the Nyonya's are supposed to look the same but I felt this one was just better. There were cozy private tables seated right next to the big windows for a view while eating.
Great plce to eat. Definitely better than the in 8th Avenue.
This place is okay. Foods cheap.
Last time we went with a big group we were crammed into a small table.
Felt like we were being rushed so thats a minus.
Waiter was extremly rude and looked pissed off.
Ordered a Chow Kwoh Teh it was okay, nothing special not much stuff in it.
Food took a pretty long time to come, and I believe I saw Mexican men cooking it.
So authentic, probably not.
I only like the indian pancake from here. The ABC drink is so so. Prices are affordable, service is friendly. Not the best, but not the worst.
This place opened up a few years ago and saved me from having to trek to chinatown to fix my pulut hitam cravings. Alot of the items carry a "Please Ask Your Server Before Ordering!!!" tags which I find a bit hilarious because a) really? and b) the servers can't explain it to you anyway so just try it. Good to have in the nabe for the chikin rice. Personaly I prefer some dishes (the ABC) to come from the newly opened Malasian place further down 86th street but still frequent Nyona more often just due to proximity to my home.
This place is usually busy because the food is awesome, especially the roti canai. Everything on the menu is affordable. I ate there with my gf and only spent about $8 each (appetizer and entree). The waiters can be a little more productive though. I would choose this place over Redang, the other malaysian restaurant down a few blocks.
