Malaysian restaurant ★4.0 (82)·$10–20

2012 86th St, Brooklyn, NY 11214, USA

4.0
I’ve had takeout from here a few times, but tonight was my first time dining in—and it did not disappoint. The food was packed with flavor, and the stir-fried dishes had a great amount of wok hei (that smoky “breath of the dragon”). We came as a group of 11 and had no issues with service. The young lady helping us was very accommodating and even recommended a few dishes that the older folks at the table especially enjoyed.We ordered quite a spread: roti, Hainanese chicken, chicken and beef satay, stir-fried string beans with garlic, curry fish fillet, curry beef stew, char kuey teow, Malaysian fried rice, sambal belacan, sizzling tamago tofu, and several drinks. Each of the curries had its own distinct flavor, and the roti was freshly made—flaky on the outside, slightly chewy on the inside. The satay was another standout: both the beef and chicken were tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the rich peanut sauce.Overall, I was very impressed with both the food and service. Easily one of the best Malaysian meals I’ve had in a long time—better than anything I’ve had in Elmhurst or Brooklyn. - Dave Ruan

What is Worth Choosing

Choosing a favorite at Little House Restoran can be a delightful challenge given the extensive menu. However, based on the restaurant's reputation and customer feedback, several dishes stand out as must-try options that truly showcase the richness of Malaysian cuisine.

The Roti Canai is a universally praised appetizer—a flaky, slightly chewy Indian-style pancake, perfect for dipping into the accompanying chicken and potato curry sauce. It’s often highlighted as freshly made and a perfect starter.

For a protein-packed start, the Satay Chicken and Satay Beef skewers are a standout. They are charcoal-grilled, marinated to be tender and flavorful, and served with a rich, house-made peanut sauce that customers consistently rave about.

The Curry dishes are a major draw. Whether it’s the rich and flavorful Curry Beef Brisket served in a spicy lemongrass coconut curry, or the massive Claypot Fish Head Curry which is ideal for sharing, these flavorful stews represent the heart of Malaysian comfort food. For something lighter but equally authentic, the Hainanese Chicken Rice is a classic choice, served with the essential trio of ginger, soy sauce, and chili sauce.

Don't overlook the incredible variety of noodle dishes, which include Chow Kueh Teow (stir-fried flat rice noodles) and the popular Hokkien Mee. These are prepared with skill, often carrying that desirable smoky depth of flavor that separates excellent Southeast Asian cuisine from the rest.

Finally, make sure to save room for dessert. While the menu offers a limited but satisfying selection, traditional Malaysian desserts like Iced Cendol (a cold beverage with pandan-flavored rice flour jelly and coconut milk) and BoBoChaCha offer a refreshing and unique sweet ending to your authentic Malaysian meal.
