Real good time. We were ready for an interactive dining experience, and we got it. The owner is passionate about his food and service, even giving a history and geography lesson on Malaysia (that might be too much for those who just want to order and eat)We did not order from the menue, askinf to be suprised and entertained. It was great and we ate there again the next day on our way out of charlotte…
Really negative experience.
We went to Cuisine Malaya for lunch today after reading some of the reviews on CitySearch. We ordered the roti appetizer, which was greasy but quite good. I had the beef rendang for my entree,
which was mediocre. The beef was not bad, but the broccoli and pineapple in the dish were ice cold. My fiance's lunch was inedible. He ordered fried rice with chicken. There was something wrong with the chicken...it was rubbery and cold. We brought the issue to the attention of the server, who made no effort to offer an alternative dish or take the charge off the bill -- as would have been expected at any establishment.
In short, the only value of the experience was to learn that there is no reason to ever set foot in this place again. For those of you considering giving it a try, we hope that our review will serve to save you from having the same experience we did.…
Nice but I prefer to cook at home. It is a nice restaurant but I also enjoy getting the ready to serve and easy to prepare ingredients to cook at home. I get the ingredients from www.asiansupermarket365
Perfect 10. I'm a picky sushi eater. I"ve been to this place @ least 5 times & have always had good service & the food has always been the same: excellent! I always recommend this place to friends that are coming here from out of town to thy this restaurant. It's a great location. Parking can sometimes be a tight fit, but only during peak hours, which is to be expected. No complaints here! Go try this place!…
Not authentic Malaysian food!. After reading the reviews, I, a Malaysian decided to try Cuisine Malaya. I took my husband & his business partners there. Satay was dissapointing as it was just cut up chicken breast and nothing authentic about it. Even the 'peanut sauce' that came with the satay doesn't have much peanut & instead the taste of soy sauce was quite overpowering. I ordered curry laksa & it was nothing like the curry laksa back home - the gravy was very weak (not enough coconut milk nor candlenuts); no dried tofu nor boiled eggs. Explaining to the servers that I want the food spicy but it wasn't even close when the food was served. I asked for 'sambal' (chilli paste with dried shrimp) but that wasn't spicy either. I was utterly dissapointed with the food as I wanted to introduce my husband & his business partners to Malaysian food. Overall, the service was good & friendly except for a particular server who scowled at me when I asked her to explain the peanut pancake.…
