Originally from Malaysia, live in London now. Have been going to Rasa Sayang many times for my Malaysian food fix, never disappointed. Shame to read some of the reviews here of poor service and food. I have never experienced that myself so please don't let that put you off this place.
Superb Menu, great choices really gets your taste buds going ! To enjoy the experience do book in advance , you will not be disappointed , I have so many favourite dishes , hard to choose but Roti Canai followed by Char Kway Chow , if you have room left all the desserts are excellent :) Having lived in Borneo, eating here brings back great memories of my weekly visit to Pasar Malam with all the lovely Malay foods - ENJOY :)
So surprised by recent bad reviews. I went here few times already and was never disappointed. Of course not every meal is prepared just when you order it and not all the ingredients are bought fresh on the local market at the morning but also no one is promising you Noma experience here.Staff is really busy but always smiling and friendly. If you find something niche about faded minimalistic interiors of Asian eateries you'll love this place!
Really good Asian restaurant with a wide array of delicious Asian dishes that are freshly cooked and served with the best ingredients and with the help of a very friendly and professional staff as well.
Rasa Sayang Chinatown me padta hai ye restaurant. China ka Khaana jaada milta hai yaha par. Tasty to hai maximum dishes China ki hai. Tasty hai
It’s located in London Chinatown. The foods are served super quick. I tried the konloh mee hainanese chicken. It’s good and delicious. But the portion is too big for me to finish it alone. The staffs are super friendly. Will try other menu if visit again.
Considering the reviews I was expecting better, but still was a well worth experience. The food was good and the service was very quick and partially friendlier then expected in Chinatown.

Rasa Sayang
One of the most highly recommended restaurant by friends and bloggers was this Malaysian restaurant called Rasa Sayang in Chinatown, London. This eatery was on my list of restaurants to try during my Summer trip to London. The restaurant is small and cute which is the case with majority of restaurants specially in Central London.
For me personally the menu was very confusing because I haven’t eaten a lot of Malaysian food so I got a bit lost while deciding what to order. So after taking some help from the server, we ordered 2 appetizers and 2 Mains.
APPETIZERS
1. Roti Canai - This is apparently one of their traditional dishes which is very popular with guests. Its very similar to the Paratha with gravy of Indian Cuisine. The Paratha was crispy and loaded and the gravy was very spicy and thick. I really liked this dish because it was very simple yet flavourful.
2. Grilled Satay - This was a very familiar dish so I had to order it. This dish has grilled chicken(beef and lamb options also available) on skewers served with peanut sauce, a salad of cucumber & onion and rice cake. The chicken was cooked so well that it was so soft and was melting in the mouth.
MAIN COURSE
1. Nasi Goreng - I fell in love with this dish when I some some Malaysian and Indonesian friends during my Industrial training in Dubai back in 2008. I always order Nasi Goreng if its on the menu in any restaurant. I like the dish because all the ingredients are very basic and simple but they pair well with each other. The plate consisted of fried rice with shrimps covered with sunny side up fried egg garnished with anchovies. The rice were accompanied by Chicken Satay with peanut sauce and cucumbers.
2. Egg Fried Rice - This is the staple dish for my son. He can survive and happily eat egg fried rice all day, every day.
I ordered Iced Tea which was fresh and homemade .
The service was below average because the staff looked very unhappy and never smiled. It was only when we paid the bill and were about to leave, they smiled.
Total Bill - £31.60 including tax and tip.
Taste : 4/5
Ambience/Decor : 3/5
Service : 3/5
Value for Money : 4/5
If I’m feeling homesick, this is where I come. The dishes (and the atmosphere) are as authentic as they get! The Nasi Lemak is brilliant, so is the Nasi kampong, the kway teow and the satay. Give the keuh dadar a go - it’s definitely a trip down memory lane for me!
We were in the mood for some Malay food and seeing the great ratings this place had decided try it out for dinner a few days back.
We reached there by 8 and it was packed had to wait for 15 minutes to get a table.
Went with the classic Chicken Satay and Oyster omelette for starters. The satay tasted good but I didn't care much for the slimy texture of the oysters and felt the basic omelette was also very greasy.
For mains we shared the Nasi Goreng,Singapore Fried Rice and the Chicken Rendang which came with a mound of steamed rice.It all tasted good and the portions were generous.
The kitchen is situated downstairs and the piping hot food is delivered to the dining room via a dumb waiter
It was my first time trying Malaysian food and I loved it. Their prices are very reasonable and you'll have more delicious food than you can finish. I usually walk out of here with a take away bag.
"London 🇬🇧 was heaven for me for the short visit. But I had to struggle to find great food unlike Dubai"😁😀
Malaysian Food: I have tried the first time. Maybe my menu choice which I made was not that right. I have ordered LOR MEE, it was kind of noodle bowl with Chicken and Prawn based gravy. At the begging, I had enjoyed a lot with the crispy chicken topped. But after few sip, it was like so salty and soya sauce quantity is little more. I realized maybe everything from every cuisine you may not like but give a try is mostly give you best experience.
Actually, I was searching a Halal food place and I found them in Zomato. Overall it was a good experience and I would love to go again and try something else.
Food - 3.5/5
Ambience - 4.5/5
Service - 4.5/5 Quick and Friendly.
Price - 20/30 GBP for 2 people /💷
Recommendations -If you are looking for halal food like me or you have interest in Malaysian food you must visit.
Location - Location was easy to find. It is in the China Town Soho Area.

Came to Rasa Sayang for the first time after passing it a few times. The diner was clean and the decor is basic with the walls painted red one side and white the other. I guess you could say it was clinical. There were a mix of people; Malay, Chinese, Indian and obviously British. I took my brother with me and tried their starter chicken satay skewers and the mains two portions of Hainanese chicken rice (only remembered watching a clip of Rick Stein trying this dish in Malaysia, thought we gave it a go) via ice lemon tea and a cincau (grass jelly) drink.
There is no introduction to ice lemon tea, just a standard drink. But the cincau is synonymous to South-East Asia, also known as grass jelly, is a healthy, black coloured plant-based jelly drink, an acquired taste to Westerners palette.
The satay skewers came during our main course which normally a no no because it is a 'starter.' Anyway, the chicken skewers had a curried marinate with a slight char colouring came with peanut dipping sauce. It had some flavour but the chicken itself and the peanut satay sauce could do with less oil; it left a greasy after taste!
Our mains, the Hainanese chicken rice (I am sorry I have no photos, was in a rush!) came as 3 parts: the chicken in a bed of soy and sesame sauce with beansprouts, the bowl-shaped white rice with 2 slices of cucumber and a bowl of chicken broth. The chicken was so tender and juicy; could be corn-fed chicken giving it a silky texture and dipping it with ginger/ garlic chilli sauce seem to work your tastebuds! The rice was a good sized portion, tasted like it was cooked with chicken stock as added flavour. The chicken broth clensed the palette to finish off the meal. It can't be a bad thing that there was no food left on the plate and we both thoroughly
enjoyed our meal. The price was good, looking at £25 without drinks & the staff were attentive and friendly. I will definitely come back to try out other dishes!!
Asian is in my blood. Wherever I go, I will looking for asian food for sure. I was ordered es cendol, nasi lemak and nasi hainam. The food is good, the drink is awesome.
There’s something undeniably comforting about a gigantic plate of noodles. For me, it reminds me of carefree childhoods and going out for a rare, fancy but economical family outing up in the city. I tried to relive some of that grandeur thorough checking out a Malaysian place called Rasa Sayang, which is across the road from the new office. Decently busy for a weeknight and super fast service. Which was needed, as the staff had my order wrong on the first round. Still, a quick swap and only a mere few minutes of additional waiting meant no drama. The chicken and the vege were on the side of ordinary but the noodles and the sauce sure did it for me. Not quite as rich as the midnight dark hues of the ones back in Auckland, but the savoury, soy notes of the sauce were exact to have evoked fond memories. Authentically crafted and an ideal stopgap for a cheap and traditional fix.
Spent my Saturday evening on eating here with my spouse and our flatmates. One of my flatmates had eaten here before, and she recommends the place. The four of us easily found seats because it's not dinner time yet (we came here on 5.20-ish pm). The interior was quite straightforward and practical without many decorations.
We ordered Prawn Mee, Curry Laksa, and Nasi Lemak. They're all delicious! Taste wise, it were really authentic and suited our Indonesian taste bud just perfect. The portion was pretty generous for the price. Love the Prawn Mee! A suitable choice for London's cold weather, indeed. As for the drink, my Teh Tarik wasn't foamy enough to be called one. There's no foam atop actually.
Overall, I enjoyed my time here. Our meals and drinks were great, and the service was very prompt. Very recommended if you're looking for an authentic taste of South-east Asian cuisine!
Looking for a halal place to eat in Chinatown. We ordered mix of beef and chicken satay (good), chicken wonton (fairly average), fresh orange juice (good), beef pentang with rice (tasty) and a tapioca dessert (good). Enjoyed the food overall good taste.
As a Malaysian, I can assure you this is legit. Of course can't be compared to the foods back at home but rasa sayang has definitely sorted out the fix for south East Asians in London. Reasonable price and service is good.
Decent Mayasian restaurant in Chinatown. Excellent roti canai but the rest (beef randang, mee goreng), whilst not bad, were nothing to write home about. Service was quick and I haven't tried nasi lamek or the konloh mee pok yet so I'd come back and give them another go.
Tasty authentic Malaysian food at great value. I can see why this place is so popular. Really enjoyed my meal. Everything was spiced perfectly and the menu choices were great.
Good halal food. Will definitely go back and taste other dishes. Really liked the Malaysian /Singaporean cuisine. Reminds me of the dishes I had in China or in the Indonesian restaurant. Asian (far east) foods have a similar line of taste in them due to the spices, which I really like.
Cafe style venue, loads of choices on the menu, can be a little hard to figure out what you want. But i always go for the beef rendang if i see it on a menu. This was was very good, a little oily, but good flavour and texture.
beef rendang Only £8.50. Halal and totally yum. Great for a cheap eat. They have a downstairs area which is good for groups.
The place has good variety of Malaysian dishes and tastes good too. One of the few places in Chinatown that serves halal. If you want to try or like Malaysian food visit this place.
Recommendation - beef Rendang, chicken satay, chicken wonton, chicken Rendang
Halal- yes
Rasa Sayang is probably one of the most busiest restaurants within London’s Chinatown. Get there at the wrong time and you’ll have to wait for a seat. But once you’ve tried their food, it’ll all be worth it! If you’ve never tried Malaysian food before, then think Chinese food mixed with spices and aromatic flavours. You’ll love Rasa Sayang if you love your food with a bit of a kick!
Tasty and good priced Malaysian restaurant. I had the chilli crab, morning glory and fried chicken with prawn paste. Love the sauce that comes with chilli crab because it's not overly spicy but still have a strong flavour, get ready to be messy!
Probably one of London's most authentic places to have Malaysian cuisine. Hidden with Chinatown, this place is a must try! We guarantee you won't be disappointed. Must try nasi goreng, Indian rojak, nasi lemak, char kueh teow and the cendol ice !
These people do good Malay and Singaporean cuisine. It's actually a simple place in chinatown but don't let that fool you. The nasi lemal(coconut) rice with rendang. is to die for. I also recommend the 'char kway teow' fried noodles. Its like nothing you've had before.
Great place for good Malaysian food. Gathered a group of friends and ordered a whole bunch of dishes. Everything was nice. Those who had their first taste of Malaysian cuisine were intrigued and enjoyed it a lot. Plus point: their bathroom is clean!
I really love their sambal and Assam dishes. They do it well. Also, portions are quite big and good for sharing. However, I wouldn't share my order! (It's too good!!)
The hygiene here leaves a lot to be desired. The service too isn't very good. That being said, that's true of most places in China Town. Their Nasi Goreng is quite good and was, relatively speaking, the better Nasi Goreng that I could find in London. I personally never really liked any of their other dishes. But their Nasi Goreng is certainly worth a try and was the sole reason for my frequent visits to this place.
I like the range of food they prepared. And they were all in acceptable price.
I had nasi lemak with beef rendang and to be honest, I preferred the one I had in Roti King, Euston. It was a so-so.
A place that I crave the most !! I have been here several times and the taste of nasi goreng just gets better always.. Each time I am here, I make it a point to make all my friends try different dishes so that I manage to cover all the dishes that the menu has..but alas ! My appepite.. :(
This was my first experience in trying Malaysian food and I am absolutely in love the cuisine .. If you talk about having a food-gasm this is the place .. The food is simplyyy aww-someee ! The small little restaurant, has a lot to give when it comes to taste and flavour in Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine..
Someone take me back here!!!

Hello....is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I ever wanted...
(Come on you know the words!)
This is the song that you will be singing after wandering into this little unassuming Malaysian/Singaporean Restaurant, located right in the centre of Chinatown.
It has been a good 2 years since, I went galavanting overseas to Asia for 7months. Oh it was a joyous time.
However I found myself longing for the hawker street food I sampled in Malaysia/Singapore.
Until one fateful day, I was lovingly guided to Rasa Sayang.
AND BEHOLD....
Ambiance?
Their menu is mainly focused on Malaysian/Singaporean Hawker street food, and they offer these nation's favourite dishes including Chilli Crab, Char Kuay Teow and pan fried Carrot Cake.
Rasa Sayang is geared towards functionality; with it's light and simple decor and that 'canteen' vibe teamed with their high turnover of customers.
There are no airs and graces, so just expect a high standard of home-style/street food at low prices.
Heaven? I think so.
Did I really order ALL that food?
Oh yes I did. Yes I did.
YEAH-O-Meter?
Lor Mien - Braised noodles in thick gravy, topped with 5-spice crispy chicken £7.50
If like me, you love super saucy noodles in a thick gravy.
Your search is over.
This is who you've been looking for. I assure you.
Slurpy, uber-saucy noodles with a generous portion of 5-spice crispy chicken pieces sitting on top of that thick, flavoursome sauce.
You will get this all over your face.
If that's not foreplay, I don't know what is.
Spicy Aubergine £7 & Sambal Morning Glory £7.50
I can eat platefuls of both these dishes.
The aubergine was nutty, spicy, soft yet still holding that bite to each piece.
The Morning Glory needs no justification of it's awesomeness, add spicy Sambal paste to that and you've got yourself a party.
Malaysian Fried Hokkien Mee £7.50
Just to balance out the uber-saucy glory of the Lor Mien, the Malaysian fried Hokkien Mee was a worthy accompaniment.
Prawn paste coated Deep Fried Chicken £8.90
These were a touch on the dry side, however despite that, they were well seasoned and packed full of flavour.
Crispy Roti Canai £3.90 & Gado Gado - Deep fried tofu in peanut sauce £3.50
If I could, I would dive into a pool full of that peanut sauce.
Order that sauce purely for dipping your roti, deep fried chicken and tofu.
YES is what you will be screaming, after each mouthful.
Banana Fritter: Wafer thin rice crispy coated banana, with palm sugar syrup and vanilla ice cream £4.50
The banana fritter is so easy to get wrong.
My biggest fear is that this would be served to be with a thick layer of batter.
I need not have worried as the soft, piping-hot banana was encased in a wafer-thin crispy rice coating.
Crunchy, soft and sweet are winning texture combinations. That, drizzled with palm sugar and served with ice cream.
You should probably order one each.
Otherwise you will be spoon-duelling for the last bite.
Sex Appeal?
Rasa Sayang is a place you can go back to time and time again.
YUMMEIS? 8.5/10

Great place to look for authentic Malaysian food. I had the fried kuey teow and the taste was spot on. What the Chinese skilled cooking emphasis on "Wok Hei" was evidently in the dish which otherwise would make the dish utterly bland. Great experience. Recommended to give it a try.
Great Malaysian food in the heart of Chinatown. Reasonable price.
Try their:
- Nasi Lemak (coconut rice with chicken curry served with hard boiled egg and deep fried peanuts)
- Mee Goreng (egg noodles stir-fried with seafood & vegetables)
- Char kuay teaw (flat rice noodles stir-fried with seafood & vegetables)
- Laksa (egg noodles in seafood curry sauce)
- Beef rendang (beef pieces cooked in curry sauce made from loads of spices & coconut flakes)
- Nasi Goreng (Malaysian-style fried rice served with fried egg, satay, and prawn crackers)
You will have a hard time deciding what to order. Everything looks great.
Great food, poor seating!. This is one of my favouriite eateries whenever I visit London. I know the food is authentic (I'm Singaporean-Australian) and the cost is reasonable but not cheap, yet worth the price for a good meal.
My only annoyance is the way the waitstaff seat you at a table already occupied by other diners to cram as many diners in a very small space upstairs.
They don't do that in Singapore and Malaysia!
Very Authentic. Second South East Asian restaurant in the heart of chinatown of London. Having travelled to Singapore and Malaysia, I sincerely can say that the menu is very elaborate of comfy food for nationals of these countries and people who travelled often there to enjoy the local food. I had the Chat Kway Teoy and I can recommend highly this dish! Service is quick and not expensive at all. Highly recommend this restaurant
Malay Heaven. Haven't eaten at Rasa Sayang for quite a few months now. Thankfully the quality of the food has not diminished. Nice spicy straits chicken curry and a wonderful Nasi Lemak was had tonight,
My fave Malay joint is still going strong. Phew.
Adequate at a pinch. Coming from Malaysia, I'm a bit particular about Malay food; the fare here is very variable from dish to dish, so certain ones are significantly more likely to please than others, but I haven't had any of the bad experiences reported here either. Reasonable food at reasonable (for London) cost - have a go if you love Malay.
Something close to home especially the Nasi leman
Authentic menu, tasty food, try the cin-cau... quality scran on a budget
Impressed!. I went today to try Rasa Sayang, and was really impressed how good it is! I saw the critics at the londonaper and was curious to try it personally. good quality and well priced! hope they keep their standards, as most restaurants around are losing rate - quality - friendliness and cleanliness.......
Given how much time I spend in London's Chinatown, it's hard to believe I've only just visited Rasa Sayang. Maybe I can attribute it to general lack of knowledge about Malaysian-Singapore food, but more likely it's because I'm usually lured by bao zi and other Chinese delights every time. On a recent Sunday, this seemed like an idyllic lunch spot. First up, the seafood curry laksa! This was my first curry laksa experience and it won't be my last. The broth was spicy, but not over the top, and infused with flavor from the chilis and coconut milk. It also had this mysterious peanut taste even though i have no idea if there were any peanuts in there. I especially loved the fried tofu and hard boiled egg. Stick a hard boiled egg on anything and it's immediately Asian, and delicious. Next, the chicken rendang. Described as chicken slow-cooked in rendang spices served with glutinous rice wrapped in coconut leaves. Did this come as I pictured? Not so much. The rice was plain, and n
Sambal belacan (be-lah-chan) is made from fermented prawns, in a paste, with chilli so it tastes spicy and fishy. Perfect for when you want to impress your first date.
I think I have found my favourite Malay eatery now. Since we have been back, I think I have eaten at Rasa Sayang on at least 5 occasions. All with different groups of friends, who all have loved the place. I'm sure, I am due a free meal there now. Even
Rasa Sayang is not entirely Nyonya. Their menu is predominantly Malaysian/Singaporean hawker street food, and contains some of these nations’ favourite dishes like Chilli Crab, Char Kuay Teow and Pan-fried Carrot Cake. I was glad however to see some of my
Prawn Noodle I've become a big fan of Rasa Sayang on Macclesfield Rd (opposite Dehems pub) so much so that I've been unfaithful to my usual Chinatown haunt, Hung's.
I’d already been to C&R and Kopi Tiam a number of times, and… meh, nothing impressive. And although I’d heard very average reviews of Rasa Sayang, I thought I’d give them a go before blogging about Kiasu’s awesomeness, not because I’m a hokkien prawn mee
Nevermind great group dynamics and spending quality time with friends, the best thing about eating out as a group is getting to try everyone else's food. Five of us hit Rasa Sayang on Chinatown's Macclesfield Street before a showing of Swedish vampire fli
Background: My ex-Chinese language teacher and I meet to eat on a regular basis. As she grew up in Indonesia, I thought she might like to try some Straits cuisine with me at Chinatown eaterie Rasa Sayang and give me her expert opinion on the dishes there.
Rasa Sayang does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a small crowded room in Chinatown, just off Shaftesbury Avenue; painted white, with wood-effect tables and cheery laminate menus full of colourful photographs of Malaysian and Singaporean street food.
After reading promising reviews of a new Malaysian restaurant from umami and bellaphon , all I had was Malaysian food on my mind - for weeks I was dreaming about laksa and nasi lemak and rendang and char kway teow! It all came to a head two weekends ago w

Anyone who has been to London's Chinatown I hope will understand when I say that I think it is a bit of a mirage. Located in prime real estate and promising so much, I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by it. For a city so rich in history and culture, London's Chinatown is strangely underdeveloped and disappointingly commercial. The food is generally average, a little merger and expensive for the amount you get. It is quite the opposite of the Chinese generosity I've grown up being accustomed to. However, it's not all doom and gloom as, dotted around the area, there are still a few places which I rate highly and which I always look to should I find myself there - one such place is Rasa Sayang.
Since falling for this place on first bite 6 years ago, it has become a mainstay on my London eats list and, though the cuisine is technically Malaysian, their style of cooking is known as peranakan, which combines Chinese ingredients and wok techniques with traditional Malaysian spices. What transpires is a diverse and varying menu which takes inspiration from every part of South East Asia.
And thankfully for me, it does because it is here that I've found the best Haianese chicken rice in London. What is it you ask? Originating from the Hainan province in southern China, it is chicken prepared in traditional Hainanese methods which involves steeping the entire chicken at sub-boiling temperatures in a pork and chicken bone stock. This is then served on fragrant "oily rice" prepared with special chicken stock. It is one dish which has stuck with me my whole life and I don't see that stopping anytime soon.
However, no visit is complete without a helping of the roti with curry which is so moreish it's unfair. The roti is so light and fluffy it's like eating clouds and provides the perfect utensil to soak in all the delicious fragrant curry.
Complementing the savoury is a menu of traditional desserts though this pales in comparison to the mains. However, even here there are winners with the deep fried bananas and the kueh dadar (pandan-flavoured filled with grated coconut and palm sugar) being my favourites.
If you're after a quick, reasonably priced and tasty meal, this is for you and I know you and your party will find something with will satisfy every individual craving. However be warned, you don't come for the service as the meal is hurried to ensure consistent turnover.

Of all the restaurants in Chinatown, Rasa Sayang stands out for its simplicity. It is a great restaurant without really trying too hard. It is this that makes it a good place for a spot of casual dining, whether that is for a spot of lunch or a quick dinner.
Rasa Sayang is a restaurant that I frequently venture too when I am in Chinatown. The food here is delicious. It is served quickly, which is welcoming when you're absolutely starving. Don't take this expediency to imply that the food lacks quality as the food here is amazing. The portions are decent sized and the price is very reasonable. The service is quick with friendly staff. Overall, you cannot really complain. I would definitely recommend this place if you are stuck for choice from the arrays of good restaurants in Chinatown.
The restaurant offers authentic Malaysian food. The service is just like the service of any other restaurant in the area, and the waiters aren't rude. We ordered a few authentic Malaysian dishes and were not disappointed. The food tasted amazing, and gave me a taste of home. As it is a small place, the tables are close to each other, but so is the seating in many other good restaurants. Definitely going back.
The food here was delicious. It was prepared and served rather quickly. The best bit was that it tasted rather fresh. My personal favorite is the wonton soup. The starters are great and the portions are huge. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I must add the restaurant was spic and span as were the washrooms. Quite a rarity.
I recently had dinner here, and I was very impressed by our meal. The food was little less spicier than expected, but it tasted great. The char kway teow was a surprise, and tasted brilliant, with a very nice, smokey flavour. The roti was fresh, and just the right lend of crispy and squidgy, and the chicken was flavoursome. The rojak was a little on the sweeter side, but the meal was finished nicely by the tea tarik and ABC. The servers were very efficient and friendly. The portions were very generous, and food was priced very reasonably. I highly recommend a visit.
I went to this restaurant and had a three course meal. I found it pretty delicious and it was good value for money. The atmosphere was quite relaxed, however, you may have to share a table with the other customers that might just put you off as privacy becomes quite limited.
I had an amazing experience at this place. It is such an exciting place to be at. The reasonable pricing is what make the place totally awesome. I recommend trying their nasi mark and chili crab ,but avoid curry puffs. The flavors were so intense that i had an usual taste lingering in my tongue after leaving the restaurant.
This place has some good, affordable Malaysian food on offer. the menu has an interesting variety too and i'd suggest you order the teh tarik and roti canai. the drinks here have some very innovative names, and taste really good. you should try some of those if you go here. Would definitely recommend to all.
This place is perfect for a quick lunch. The staff is plenty in number and offers amazing service. The food served is very authentic and worth every penny. It is one of the best places to try out for Malaysian fast good at very reasonable prices. The insides are well lit and very hygienic. Definitely recommended!
I had a pretty decent experience at this place on my last two visits.This is one of those places where eating alone is not quite awkward. The service here is friendly ,fast and efficient but they might loose the flattery.The prices charged are also quite appropriate for the food.
The food here is pretty tasty, not the best ,but not that bad either. If i had to recommend anything,it would have to be the hokkien mee.
A pleasant place in my opinion.
The one thing that makes this place a winner for me is the fact that many people, form all walks of life walk in to this joint. Even though most of them are from the Asian decent, they do seem to have some connection to where the cuisine of this place originates from. We ordered spicy chicken with seafood noodles and I must say, we were not disappointed at all!
The restaurant is invariably crowded and full.
the food was very good, a little too oily though.The decor is modern and comfortable.The flavors are strong and the food is delectable.The prices are decent.The service is prompt.
We shall try again if ever in the vicinity.
Worth a shot!
I love this place for several reasons. Firstly, the price is reasonable. Being a student, I do not wish to spend that elaborately when I go out with my friends. The dishes are simple and to the point and served with utmost efficiency. One will never be dismayed if he orders the traditional and tested dishes from the not so complicated menu
This is my most preferred place for Malaysian food. The menu is quite an extensive one and I am always spoilt for choices though I usually have marmite chicken wings and assam fillet. The prices are very reasonable considering the portions served. The food is always delicious. I would also recommend you all to definitely try this place.
I visited this place because of a friend's recommendation and absolutely loved the place. The food is delightful and extremely delicious. The starters, mains as well as the dessert was extremely appetizing. The service is great. The food arrives without any delays. The food is appropriately priced and is good value for money. I will definitely recommend this restaurant.
This place is going to offer you amazing dining experience , the food was delicious , I had satay chicken and homemade tofu which was pretty awesome .
The service was very good , despite of the fact that this place was filled with a lot of foodies.
The portions of the food that they were providing were also huge and the best part is you do not have to pay a lot for this.
If you are planning to go here do try marmite chicken wings , according to my sister they are the best.
This place was just great. Extremely happy with the food. It tasted great and we ended up ordering too much. The starters, the mains everything tasted divine, we left feeling happy. The service too was excellent, handled by 3 efficient women. They even packed the leftovers for us to take back home.
If you have a craving for Malaysian food, then I strongly recommend you all to try this restaurant. The menu is quite an extensive one and the food is always of impeccable quality. The prices are also pretty reasonable considering the portions that are served. The staff is very friendly and the service is also pretty quick.
This place was recommended by a friend when I started getting home-sick, and missing Chinese cuisines. We ordered a large number of dishes, all of which were delicious, and made me miss the food back home. We ordered the laksa, prawn noodles and several other dishes, and were surprised by the authenticity of flavours. Highly recommend it.
I was in the neighbourhood, and stumbled upon this great Malaysian restaurant. The place has a no-frills attached atmosphere, which is typical of an authentic Malaysian cafe. I ordered a lot of food, all of which was delicious, but had absolutely no room left for dessert. This place is always bustling with people, and the staff was nice and efficient. I'll definitely go back, if only for the food.
Found a really nice Chinese restaurant down town. The food is authentic and tastes great. Everything tasted great and the food was good value for money too. The beers complimented the food perfectly and the highlights included the Assam fish curry, carrot cake and the likes. Will go back there soon.
I hail from Malayasia and quite picky about the cuisine of my country. The flare of the dishes offered here are different for each dish. Some of them are perhaps much better than other options. I have never had an unpleasant experience at this restaurant yet and would highly recommend it for good food at very reasonable prices.
I used to come here with one of my friend but it has been while. I went there again a couple of days back and i was so delighted that the quality of the food did not decreased in fact I really enjoyed the food.
I love having spicy straits chicken curry here it is one of my favorites .
I am a lover when it comes to eating hainanese chicken rice. I come from a place where this dish is readily available and henceforth I am all critical about it when served in restaurants. Specially when I actually stumble upon something with great hopes. This place in Chinatown offers almost perfect authenticity and genuineness to the dish. Justice is done to its relishing flavour and I would definitely recommend this place.
The menu of this place is very vast and rather exciting. I personally recommend the Chat Kway Teoy and I must say it is delicious and made to perfection.
The service at this place is great and I faced no hassles in the least. The price of the food is also very reasonable.
This place is a decent option for south east Asian food in London, a city where getting such a cuisine is a rarity. I seldom never find a good joint serving such a cuisine. The bread served as a side dish was crisp and flaky. This place is a must visit if you are having craving for yummy Malaysian food!
The food that these guys will provide you is full of flavors and the quality is also very good but the only fact that I'm not their regular customer is because the service there is very slow. You might end up waiting for ages to get your meal.
Apart from this fact this place is a must go :)
The biggest positives about this place is that the portions served here are humongous and therefore sharing here might be a good idea! The food served here is of supreme quality and the aroma of each dishes might want to come back for more.
My recommendations include chicken and lamb satay!
This place is worth a visit if you really crave for Singapore/Malaysia fare. The flavours are skewed more towards Malaysia flavours. Having the chilli padi to me is all that counts. This place serves fresh fruit juice and deserts like chendol that make you really feel home. You have to come if you miss satay beehoon, char kuey tiao, fried carrot cake, prawn and lor mee.
Amazing Malaysian food! Best I have in London. The coconut juice was also incredible.
Been to Rasa Sayang a couple of times and food is consistently decent. The beef noodles are really nice and the roti canai with chicken is delicious but the chicken is on a bone which, in a curry in a small bowl, makes it rather difficult to eat. The Char Kway Teow is also nice and the Chargrilled Tiger Prawns were quite dry and not very flavourful. Prices decent and service efficient.
As a Malaysian myself, this was some of the best Malaysian food I’ve had outside of Malaysia, even rivalling some places back home!
The char kueh teow was authentic, yummy, and hefty portions. Beef rendang was top tier and reminded me of home. All the portions were incredibly generous and service was great. Will 100% be coming back on my next visit to London!
I’ve been here a few times, for the price you pay you are well fed and the roti cannai is one of the best and the veg dishes were different, give it a go!We came in large group to celebrate a birthday and they kindly accommodated in a booth type space but they only have one available so pre book! This is not a place for fine dinning but if you want good food and a place just to hang out and dress how you please, this would be it. Our waitress Alice was wonderful and prior visit the other waitress with very short hair was also amazing. The reason I’ve given it 5 is because you get you pay for and a good variety to choose from and it’s pretty tasty.
Went there twice. Had the hor fun, mee goreng, sambal and char kway teow. Everything was super good, including their kopi & teh tarikh. Tasted authentic Singaporean food in London;)
Buzzing place, you know the food is good when the regional people are eating there, spoke to some lovely malaysian people.
My utmost respect to the cooks and service staff as they went above and beyond.
Would have liked more help when ordering the food, like a mix of dishes not much in the way of balance when our food came. Our own fault but perhaps preventative.

This has been on our list for a while and been wanting to try them for the Malaysian delicacies.
Finally visited it. Though we didn’t have prior reservation we did get the table quickly. There were few free tables at the basement but they got occupied real quick.
Ambiance is pleasant.
Service is very quick.
For drinks we had Lychee Cooler, which is a gin based cocktail and a Guava Shorline which is a non-alcoholic drink. Both were delish. Really loved them.
We ordered vegetarian Tempeh to share, which were like soy chips in a really yummy sauce. It was very flavourful.
For mains, I went with Treasures Buddha's delight which sounded interesting based on its description. The dish says it comes with noodles but they ain’t the main sized noodles but they are very minimal. Our server Alice did recommend ordering a rice side along with it.
The dish was gooood but wasn’t as flavourful as our starter/tempeh. Personally would have loved to have a bit more flavour in this dish.
Other half ordered Nasi Goreng (S) which he said he really enjoyed. It came with rice, prawn crackers, and a crispy wing kinda thing. The portion was great for the price. One of the best so far he has had in London.
Overall a wonderful experience..
Alice was great with the service, 5/5 stars for her 🙂
Havnt been here for years and dropped by this week.
The newly renovated decor is lovely. I ordered Wat Tan Ho and it was delicious.
Great food and service, will be sure to return again
Spacious space and kind staffs! Foods were tasty, but was a bit mild then needed a little more seasoning. So we asked chilly oil(there were shrimps in it, so tasty), foods were became perfect flavours. Saw lots Malaysian and Singaporean customers, lots family group visit.
Food was delicious, huge portions and Syaz our waitress was lovely and even recommended what to order when we needed! Thank you Syaz ! 👍🏼
We enjoyed our meal at Rasa Sayang. Food was quick and service was good - they took allergies seriously.
The overall quality of the food could be better - the beef in the beef rendang was tough and a bit hard to chew.
There could be more dipping sauce with the spring rolls.
The jasmine rice and the morning glory were very good.
Another excellent meal yesterday. Even when the restaurant is really busy you can get a table with a short wait.
The food is super fresh and hot when it’s served and tastes amazing. The Roti Canai in particular.. for such a small and fairly simple starter is pretty great.
Service is pretty speedy and staff friendly. During busy times it can be a bit cramped, but the food makes it worthwhile.
Rasa Sayang is one of the few restaurants in London we keep going back to. Because the food is so good! Prices reasonable for the portions. & We finally took the plunge and tried the chilli crab - delicious but messy! Worth a try.
Definitely one of the best Malaysian restaurants in London. The food and service is beyond. Ty was very helpful and had great recommendations. We will definetly come back 🌸
The nasi lemak came with a very flavourful curry and a peanut anchovy side. The coconut rice was quite mild on coconut flavour; could barely tell the difference between the coconut and plain steamed rice. Roti canai is an absolute must order - the flakey and rich roti is a heavenly experience, especially when dipped in the rich curry sauce. All their dishes are done generally well, but i was a bit disappointed in the flavour of the laksa broth.
The best place to eat great Malaysian food while in London. The manager, Ty, went above and beyond to help with my wife’s dietary requirements. If you like Malaysian food you will love Rasa Sayang
My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience at Rasa Sayang in London today! The manager, Ty, was exceptionally kind and helpful, providing us both with fantastic recommendations. Zaina, Syaz, and Ting also contributed to our enjoyable visit with their kindness and assistance. We had the pleasure of sitting by the window, which allowed us to savor our delicious meal while enjoying the view. We highly recommend this establishment for its outstanding service and tasty food!
Today I came with my friends to eat the first time and i real loved the food and the service. all the staff were super helpful and nice. there's one old lady on the floor downstairs doing service and the only one she was rude she can't speak to customer probably and she has bad attitude + she was speaking unprofessional to her colleague because her colleague helped me. overall everything was amazing and delicious.
One of my fav restaurants in London. Chili prawns are so good! Beef houfan, the beef is even more than noodles which is good portion. Highly recommended!
