Ken "THE NEXT FOODNETWORK PORNSTAR" W.'s Profile

This place will do in a pinch!!! Came here with a friend of mine to this crowded little joint. The most authentic thing here was the rude Hong Kong style,"I'll ignore you till you scream my head off"  service that I am so accustomed to from these establishments. Food is decent. Nothing to write home about. Prices are fairly reasonable. Since its so small and crowded I wouldn't invite my friends or fam here, but when I want to get my Dim Sum this place will do.

I was stoked when hearing that this place was opening but leary just the same. I ordered rendang to go a couple of times and it was decent but I wasn't ready to do a full blown review based on a couple of take outs. No, it took the prodding of my brother and some friends and an actual sit down trying 5-7 dishes for me to be conviced that of this writing this is the best Malaysian restaurant in all of H-town. Why so high praises??? Well, as far as taste goes this place has malay/Singaporean down dead-on!! I love their Belachan which is fermented shrimp paste and their Ba-ku-te is a tasty offering of noodles and seafood. The roti wsa good my only complaint was the fact that some of the roti pancakes came out crispy instead of chewy which is the way I normally would have it. The gravy that accompanied the roti was excellent. The hai-nan-gi fan (which I'm pretty picky about was very good). Overall, it was a good experience. The service was spotty at times but only because the place was packed to the gills. The price is a little more pricey than other places but I think it's worth it.

Came here for a crazy UYE that had 15 people. Yes, we overwhelmed this rather small establishment. I had called ahead and warned the owner in my broken chinese that a big group was comng and he said, "come on over!!!" So, we did. My only faux pas that night was that not ordering enough in the beginning and ordering too much at the end. We had about 4 waves of food. The dim sum was decent, not spectacular. Service was kinda spotty but I suspect our group became a bit too unwieldy for the young lass to accomodate. But no matter, I had a fun time grossing everyone out by eating the chicken feet. I'll be back.

Small, dinky hole in the wall that serves authentic (my half Guatemalan vouches for it) Guatemalan cuisine. I had a group of 6 of my peeps show up here to try out some fare from heart the Mayan empire. I tried a drink called Atol elotes which was quite tasty. Its a corn drink that's served warm that had hints of pumpkin spice in it. I had the chicken Pepian which is chicken that was slathered with this velveteen gravy that was lusciousand succulent. It kind of reminded me of chicken curry without the spices. That was what I was surprised about Guatemalan food was the lack of heat. I also tried some fried plantains which was ok but kinda bland. The tamales were kinda bland too. All of the dishes were under $10 so it's really cost effective. Overall, I think this place has good value so I'll be back to try some more of their delicaicies.

I LOVE MAGGIANOS!!!!!

The calamari was off the chain!!! Spaghetti was awesome. Everything here is just great.

This used to be my favorite Malaysian restaurant before Cafe Penang came along. Now that they have shut down CP I thought a revisit to my old haunt might be in order. What I found out was that the prices have gone up the dishes are smaller BUT at least the taste is still there. Thank God. Oh and they added a sushi bar inside. Don't know about what that is going to do for them. I think they should stick with what they know best, Malay food.

Decent sushi, decent prices. What more can I say. Oh yeah, good waitstaff. The only thing is that I had to wait a little while for my sushi but hey its ok. Decor is very nice too. I'll be back.

I want to give this place a 3 1/2 stars. The new place is bigger and swankier. Me and the fam used to go to this place like clockwork when it was a hole in the wall. Bigger and better dows not always translate to improved quality. Ordered 5 dishes. Beef with hollow veggies (Ong choy). Steamed fish, shrimp with mayonaise and walnuts, a chicken dish and vietnamese egg rolls. They did a decent job. It wasn't as good as it used to be.

Love this place!!!! Came here on a friday night and the place was chock full of eye-candy. 20ish types swaying to some house with a little hip hop mixed in for good measure. It was a good vibe there. Best thing of all is the back patio. Very open with people playing with hula hoops. Who could resist. The only thing better was my sighting of Sean Penn coming out of the bathroom!!! It does get kinda hot in there though but I'll be back for some more action.

THE FOOD HERE SUCKS!!! Nice Ambience though. Kinda dark so I was not able to see what I was scarfing down.
