Malaysian Hut

I’ve enjoyed all the Asian food I’ve eaten in Vancouver until i came to this restaurant. I am from Singapore living in California. So each time i travel anywhere I’m always searching for Singapore/​Malaysian food. So i Unilocaled and found this place. It had 4 stars and reviews were ok. Told my brother who lives here and what a huge mistake. Their so called Hainan Chicken Rice with roast chicken is made Brunei style??? It was NOT roasted. It seemed more like steamed chicken with soy sauce. Wth!!! The rice wasnt cooked Hainan style and was dry. Their satay tasted like rubber. Asked for sambal belachan and we got some salty prawn paste! Are they from Malaysia??? She recommended vermicelli noodle which was ok and so was their chinese rojak. We are so disappointed with the quality and for the price this don’t waste your time or money.
I believe this is the first time I’m giving an establishment a 1 star. There’s a reason for it.

Came in for a late dinner tonight after a round of golf. We were super hungry and craving a malaysian meal. Arrived at Malaysian Hut around 8:35pm (closing at 9pm) they allowed us to sit and order with no qualms.
The meal: My mother ordered the Curry Mee, dad ordered Penang Char Kway Teow and I ordered the Hainanese Chicken Rice. We ordered a Rojak to share as an appetizer. All of the food was authentic and super delicious. My family is from Singapore so we know good Singapore/​Malaysian food.
The owner, Irene– She is always so humble and polite. It was around 9:20pm when we finished our meal. We were the last ones in the restaurant. She stayed back and chatted with us for about 30mins and did not rush us out.
Will definitely be coming back here again. Highly recommended if you are looking for a scrumptious Malaysian meal with great service that is reasonably priced.

Delicious. Will be bringing my SE Asian mum here. So flavourful. I grew up eating Malaysian food and this restaurant reminds me of home, but tastier. I’d go back.

We stopped by this restaurant based on the reviews. We were seated right away. However, it looked like a one man show. It took forever for us to get our tea as the lady was busy helping another table and take out orders.
We placed our order and got our satay beef skewers in good time. It was hot and tasted good. However, it took another 30 minutes for our lukewarm/​cold Mee Goreng to arrive. It was underwhelming. There was not much meat. Portion was small for the price compared to other restaurants. I bit into cold pieces of tomatoes. By then, we just finished our meal quickly and did not bother to order dessert as originally planned.
Overall, not worth visiting for awhile. This place seems like a good place for take out food if you lived nearby.

The price is a bit higher than shown on the online menu. The food is OK. This was my first time there and i took a Nasi Lemak. It came with a coconut rice, egg, and chicken curry. The curry was delicious. But a bit more rice would’ve been fulfilling. The service was good but the payment is cash only, so go prepared.

Great authentic food. Delicious laksa, crispy and fresh roti. Chicken satay and hainanese chicken was ok. Friendly service, cash only.

Malaysian Hut is a cute little family restaurant that serves extremely delicious Malaysian food that is very reasonably-​priced. I’ve eaten here 3 – 4 times now, and have always had consistently tasty food. Our most recent visit, we (boyfriend and I) had:
Satay appetizer — chicken was juicy and very flavorful, though the peanut sauce didn’t seem super authentic (was still yummy though!)
Curry mee — holy mouth on fire! This was an awesome dish that was extremely spicy (there was a layer of chili oil on the surface of the soup noodles) but authentic and very flavorful. (Sriracha tastes like ketchup compared to this heat level for comparison’s sake). There were large pieces of chicken, fish cake, tofu and egg served with the noodles, which had a very nice mouth feel. Definitely not a case of heat just for heat’s sake, and the taste was totally worth the sinus-​clearing and fire-​breathing.
Hainan Chicken — Very tender, well-​cooked chicken served with tasty ginger rice and a soup. The spicy sauce it was served with was an excellent complement — spicy (though not as spicy as the curry mee) and a bit tart.
FBI — (Fried banana and ice cream) YUMMY. Tempura-​battered and deep fried bananas served with vanilla ice cream and a sprig of mint. The heat from the bananas and the cold from the ice cream made for a surprising combination that was very good and not too heavy.
We also were served water with mint and lime, which was a nice touch (though it seems they may forgo this when the restaurant starts to get busy). However, since we visited when the chef/​owner was also acting as the sous-​chef *and* the waitress, this seems totally understandable.
4.5÷5 stars overall.
We’re definitely going to continue coming back here! (Don’t forget that it’s cash only.)

Tasty food, great personal service, interesting menu, and decent prices. Not busy either, certainly not as much as it should be. Glad we went here! Cash only though.

Good food and great friendly service.
While visiting a foodie friend in Vancouver, he brought me here to try the Singapore /​Malaysian food.
As can be seen by the pics I took, we had quite a feast!
Started with the rojak, then we had the beef rendang, laksa and finished with the fried banana with a scoop of ice cream.
The food was good and is a repeat for me if I happen to go the Vancouver again!
We had a nice chat with the owner /​chef lady. (sorry I forget her name.)

I heard about this place from a Malaysian colleague who just moved here from KL that this was the best and most authentic Malaysian restaurant in the Lower Mainland, even better than Banana Leaf or Tropika. Even though it was quite a drive to Surrey from Vancouver, I went there with my family to check it out for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was a little hard to find so bring a GPS! We ordered the rojak salad, chicken satay, and roti canai to start, followed by the laksa noodle soup, and the hainanese chicken. All the dishes were very flavourful and the laksa was piping hot and spicy with really good rice noodles in the soup. The roti canai was fluffy and crispy and the curry dipping sauce it came with was delicious. The hainanese chicken was tender and served with a fragrant white rice. The rojak salad was very authentic with chunks of pineapple, cucumber, and other pieces of fruit/​vegetable tossed together in a delicious sweet and spicy sauce. We had no room for any dessert, but next time I must order their kueh dadar as I love coconut desserts. Service was very pleasant — each dish took a little while to come as everything was made fresh to order. Prices were quite reasonable (entrees were around $ 7-​$ 9). My Malaysian colleague was right about this place:) This restaurant was featured in a Vancouver 24hours video which shows you how to cook salmon Malaysian style:
