The BBQ Pork Belly was really delicious. Too bad it's only being served during tea time (3-5pm). Other dishes also really tasty. We really liked the curry chicken and hainan chicken rice.

My go-to spot for authentic Hainan chicken rice and white coffee! This restaurant never fails to deliver - the chicken is always tender, flavorful, and perfectly poached. The rice is fragrant and infused with just the right amount of chicken stock. And the white coffee? Divine! Smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. It's the perfect complement to their delicious Hainan chicken. The service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. If you're a fan of Hainan chicken or great coffee, this spot is a must-visit!

We ordered the Singapore Curry Laksa, Rendang Curry Beef, Kaya Toast, and White Coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious especially the Rendang Curry Beef, which was insanely good. I’ve been to Singapore about twelve times, and the Laksa here tasted just like what I had there. The interior also really reminded me of cafes in Singapore and Malaysia — cozy, casual, and authentic. Definitely worth visiting if you miss Southeast Asian flavors.

Delicious food! Seems like there's a long line during the day but we ate around 8pm with little to no line. The Hainan chicken is our favorite! Meat is super tender and soft and the sauces provided are delicious. We also loved the Kaya toast and butter. Can't beat the classics! Parking is available underground behind the building.

Amazing Malaysian/Singaporean food! Came here for the breakfast sets. Price is so reasonable! A set comes with entree + hot drink + side. Tried the curry noodles, kaya butter toast, and hot milk tea. Everything was on point and authentic! Also impeccable service, they offered us refills for the milk tea. You have to come here for breakfast!

We came here to sign up the queue and found out that you could just do it by yelp’s app for faster seating. Mostly seating are for two or four. There seems a section that could accommodate larger party like 5 or 6 people. A lot of families came too. We already came couple times before. It actually has been our favorite place for laksa noodle soup. I like its flavorful soup and very bouncy noodle texture. Also included a lot of fried tofu boiled egg shrimp and fish balls. We had already tried stew beef with bread so this time we tried fried beef with wide rice noodles also sweet buns with butter. Both were great. For drinks you could customize the sugar levels. Our favorite dish is fried chicken wings in peppercorn and salt flavors. Also waiters were always friendly and courteous. The only things was it could be a bit of noisy since everyone was talking loudly and sometimes seating was very close.

Authentic Malaysian/Singaporean breakfast spot with great combo prices (12-15 bucks for a set with an entree, a drink - all kinds of kopi, and complementary pastry of choice — ranging from Kaya toast, pandan cake, to pineapple buns). We ordered three sets, giving us a chance to try instant noodles with curry pork skin, nasi lemak with curry fish balls and Malaysian sticky rice with chicken. All the dishes hit the spot and are reminiscent of what you would get in the region locally. Definitely need to come back to try the lunch, which seems to be popular!

Came to Ipoh Kopitiam in Alhambra last Friday with my parents and it turned out to be such a comforting meal. We ordered the Laksa curry, Singaporean style Hainanese chicken rice, and the Char Kway Teow. All three dishes were solid, but the one that really stood out was the Hainanese chicken rice. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was packed with flavor on its own. Once you add the sauces, everything just comes together perfectly. That was easily the most memorable dish of the night. Our second favorite was the Char Kway Teow. The flat noodles had great texture with a nice smoky wok flavor. It was savory, slightly sweet, and super satisfying. The Laksa curry was rich and comforting with a good balance of spice and coconut. Ambiance is your typical modern cafe and the noise level was moderate, so we could still talk comfortably. Service was a bit on the slower side, but that’s pretty standard for the 626 so we weren’t surprised. If you want to save some time, you can join the Yelp waitlist ahead of time which definitely helps minimize the wait. Parking can be difficult during lunch since the lot is small and shared with other businesses. Street parking is available, but you might have to walk a little. Overall, the food was amazing and I would definitely come back for the chicken rice and Char Kway Teow.

The service was great! The food was prepared fast and tasted authentic but lackluster. The spice and the seasoning were dull leaving more to be desired especially after waiting two hours. The roti and the Kaya toast were delicious.

Noticed that this spot was getting some popularity so wanted to try out their food. This restaurant specializes in Malaysian and HK cuisine. We ordered the Roti Canai w/ Beef Rendang, Nasi Lemak w/ Rendang Curry Beef , and Char Kway Teow. All were very solid dishes. I love roti and have tasted some really good roti before, the ones here were pretty good, but I did remember wishing that the roti wasn’t as dense. I wished they made the skin a little thinner so that it could be more on the crispier side vs chewy side, but this is completely personal preference. The curry and beef sauce compliments well with the roti! The char kway teow was also delicious, but nothing extraordinary. The rice dish was also good but my least favorite, just because I felt it was lacking some sauce. The chicken was tender and full of flavor, but because there was just more rice the ratio felt a bit off. We ended up using some of the curry from the roti and that paired super well with the dish! It was quite busy when we went on a Thurs afternoon. The place is quite spacious with a good amount of seating. We ended up parking in a garage close by and walked to the restaurant. Staff were friendly and the food came out fairly quick and all around the same time!

Came here for lunch. I've been when it first opened, since then they had picked up 3 Michelin Bib Gourmand awards. This is a nice Malaysian comfort food café, so don't expect immaculate service. The staff is very nice, friendly and multi lingual. The food, however, is excellent. I ordered the Roti Cenai and Hainan chicken rice (to go) and the Hokkien Prawn noodle soup and Malaysian milk tea for dining in. The broth is amazing, the noodles are not soggy, the water spinach (kangkung) is fresh and crisp and the shrimp is good as well. It seems the Hainan chicken rice is rather popular. Will find out how it compares to Savoy. I got seated right away, however as I was leaving there was a line outside at 1pm.

it was abit overhyped, crspy chicken wings had no flavor, laksa also dont have lots of flavor. hainanese chicken was soft, but the rice was abit hard.

Second time lucky as there's usually a very long wait here. The virtual waiting queue helps as you can't book! I grew up in Malaysia and Laksa is my go to. My broth was rich from the coconut milk, fragrant from the spices and umami from the shrimp and curry flavours. The noodles were different from the mix of Hokkien noodles with Vermicelli I'm used to, but still chewy and contrasted with the textures of the other ingredients. My friend's Bak Kut Teh (pork ribs in herb soup) were tough and dry, like the meat is overcooked. The ratings reflect this chewing exercise for her jaw. Service was very efficient as we would expect for such a busy place. The front patio increased the seating area and the whole place was bustling. They didn't kick us out as soon as we finish, which would be very common in many countries. Maybe this is because of the tipping culture?
