    Chinese New year 2022. The restaurant was packed (with East Asians, including myself, which is always a good sign) but that compromise the service and quality of food. It was SO tasty, fresh, and the tea and tableware were refreshed regularly. Great menu. Not huge but had everything we wanted and some new items we hadn't tried before. They even packed my leftovers up to take home. I think this has become my new goto Chinese restaurant outside London. Loved it. Highly highly recommend.

    Nice little venue, apart of a street with loads of houses on which was unexpected. Was quite busy when we went service was good. I had tofu as I am veggie, it was very mushy on the inside I’m not sure if it was the way they were cooking it but tofu is usually supposed to be hard so I didn’t really like this, the sauce it was in however was really nice and they left me choose a sauce from the main menu rather than a set dish sauce specified for the tofu. Noodles were really good! As for the rest I cannot say although the red Thai curry did smell like fish which is a bit worrying if you’re a vegetarian/vegan especially considering it is on the veggie menu.

    It's disappointing Chinese food. Chicken dishes were dry and basic, and the drinks were poor and expensive. The food was okay, but we paid £100 for 2 people? Cost a lot of money for something you can get from a local Chinese delivery for a lot less and better quantity and quality.

    Had a takeaway - Lamb Thai Red Curry. Flavours were great, meat was tender. Price was good. Timing for collection was perfect. Thanks a lot!

    The best beef in black bean sauce I've ever had. The beef was really tender. Staff very friendly and excellent service. If you're in Farnborough and fancy a Chinese Meal you can't go wrong.

    Really liked the food, much better standard than most other local places. Ate here mid week, it was quiet so service was fast and food came out quickly. Staff were polite, smart and attentive. Food was lovely, one of the best Asian restaurants I've been to. Had mixed starter, the roast duck curry then banana fritter. All were excellent. Worth the trip if you're in the area.

    Food is not bad, though with a name like Malacca, their Malaysian dishes of sambal prawn and mee goreng were kind of bland. The restaurant while clean and pleasant to sit in could really do with some soft fabrics/sound dampening. The all tile/hard surfaces really made all the voices amplified and it was louder than being in a Karaoke lounge. Impossible to hear myself, much less other people at my table.

    Had a delightful meal with family the food was lovely and hot and full of flavour and the staff are very attentive and always made sure that you drink was full. But the place lack a little something, a bit of atmosphere and ambiance as well as slightly more comfortable chairs I mean Coushons???? That being said I left with a full belly and enjoyed every bit EXCEPT some orange fish dish lol Make sure you visit you won’t regret it!

    09/06/2023. Ive been spoiled with Chinese food, having grown up practising Wing Chun and spending a huge amount of my formative years with Chinese people and I rarely find anywhere outside of London which offers not just the quality of food, but traditional service, right down to the jasmine tea not arriving in a teabag. Thanks for a great meal for my wife's birthday. 🙏

    Great meal, lovely warm staff. It's just for the acoustics that give me trouble to hear the people at my table. Despite this, cannot recommend highly enough.

  • 3/5 sagun s. 1 year ago on Google
    I would say good atmosphere to eat. It's not authentic authentic. It's more fusion. If you are looking for authentic taste not the one. Portions are really really small for the price we pay. Services are great. They should amend the prices, just my suggestion

    Honestly the best ever. I can not pick my favourite dish this evening, everything was so fresh and full of flavour. Staff so friendly and efficient. Our new place to visit as often as possible Thankyou guys, you rock. X

    Malacca has to be the best South East Asian restaurant I have been to. The food was very fresh, you could tell everything was hand made and not bought from wholesale suppliers. The service was very impeccable and very friendly. The restaurant catered to allergies and took it very seriously, advising me they are very strict, cleaning a section of their kitchen and only allowing certain staff to handle food for the allergy sufferer. I can highly recommend this restaurant if you want genuine south East Asian food (Chinese, Malaysian, Thai, etc). 6* out of 5! We will be back tomorrow! Thank you very much!

    Top notch Asian food including Chinese, Malaysian and Thai culinary delights. I've eaten here only two times and my wife and I have been delighted by the presentation and taste of the food we have chosen to eat. The service is great and the white wines are nicely chilled.

    Very exquisite dinner tonight at Malacca, the staff were friendly, the drinks are wonderful, the food was fabulous! The flavours packed a punch, and the dishes tasted truly homemade, not like other restaurants which they taste similar. I can see why this is the best restaurant in Farnborough, we will be looking at coming back again!

    Amazing food. This has been my favourite local restaurant for more than 10 years and nothing has changed. I got my 11 year-old son to try it for the first time recently and he went crazy for it, said it was one of the best dishes he's ever had. If you like Chinese, Malaysian, Thai or Japanese food you should try this place, it's a cut above the competition 🙏

    We met some friends here for a catch up the other day. Had not been for a few years and were pleasantly surprised that the service and politeness were still as good. The food was excellent and there was an extensive menu. It was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday night and due to the acoustic quality of the room, consequently noisy. However, despite being busy, we were not rushed through our meal.
