What People Are Saying About Cuisine Malaya

Citysearch
The Scene – Located on Independence just across from Central Piedmont Community College, the restaurant is in part of the old Douglas Furs store and warehouse. Rather than deny its roots, Cuisine Malaya celebrates them with touches like exposed ductwork and ceiling supports. – – The Food – Most of the menu items appear in Chinese, and the English descriptions reveal their origins--either Chinese, Malay or Indian. If you like it hot, make sure to tell your server. Even the items marked with a star for "spicy" may be a little blander than expected. – –…

Nice but I prefer to cook at home
by SNY at Citysearch
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

Excellent Sushi!
by davede11 at Citysearch
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!
by Hemm at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Service
- Cons: Food!
