replying to u/Jyqm: Rasa on W 8th St is great.
“Absolute yes to Rasa. They have an amazing selection of food that’s hard to find in other Malaysian restaurants in nyc (salted egg yolk, petai, assam pedas, nasi kerabu, laksa, Rendang… these are “deep cuts” of Malaysian food haha). Tastes as close as you can get to homemade Malaysian food.”

replying to u/Cee_Vader: Rasa is pretty good if you don't want to venture out to Flushing (where Satay, reigns). The Malaysian delegation always orders from there.

replying to u/Jyqm: The Infatuation published a list of Malaysian restaurants in NYC just a couple weeks ago: [https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/guides/best-malaysian-restaurants-nyc](https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/guides/best-malaysian-restaurants-nyc) It includes most of the places folks here have already mentioned, and then some. (Though not Rasa, inexplicably. If you're around the Village, hit up Rasa.)

replying to u/lycheesweet: Totally didn’t think nyonya was slept on?? So Glad it is still getting love! I’ve been ordering the same thing for the last 15 yrs lol: Assam laksa with the server asking if I’m okay with ‘fishy taste’ every single time. The answer is still yes haha. This is my go to spot for new friends — affordable and delicious. Rasa in the west village is also pretty great! Def wanna try that shaved ice at west.
