    Food incredibly authentic yet cheap! Loved the peanut noodle dish, it was almost too much food. Ordered ahead and picked up, the food traveled well but will definitely need to return to try it again

    I really wanted to like this place, as NYC doesn’t have a Singaporean restaurant. However, I would not call their laksa ‘laksa.’ The gravy (?) was goopy and lacked the spice notes of laksa. Laksa broth is rich, prawny and coconutty, this felt like ginger corn starch goop. The chili crab laksa had a generous portion of crab but the linguine was floppy and not al dente. Sauce was alright. The sayur lodeh contained mostly carrots and broccoli which are not traditionally found in the dish. It’s supposed to be primarily cabbage and turnip with some strips of carrot. The soto ayam was the best dish I tried and was the most authentic.

    Randomly browsing google maps was intrigued to find a singaporean street food restaurant hidden in Washington Heights so I ventured up from lower Manhattan to try it. Well worth the trip. Food was delicious and genuinely captured the essence of south/south-east asian street foods. Got the roti john & the peanut satay noodles. Both were delicious and the portion sizes were great to.

    Delicious and creative Singaporean food with authentic flavors. The rose milk was floraly And sweet, with just the right amount of rose flavor. The pandan waffle Was nice and crispy on the outside, while super fluffy and moist on the inside, with a really subtle pandan flavor. The Kaya jam was a perfect complement to the waffle. I loved the fried mantou breads, and the chili crab sauce went with it well, Much neater than eating whole Singaporean chili crab! I would definitely love to come back and try all of the other items on the menu. The staff here are also very friendly, but there is limited seating if you are thinking about dining in.

    Nice spot with very fair prices. Enjoyed trying food from Singapore. The buns with crab sauce were our favorite. The fried wontons were crispy and delicious. The noodle texture was really good. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the laksa flavor but it was still good. They have counter service with seating. Maybe just our opinion but they could benefit from switching out the bright white lightbulbs to something a bit softer to make it more cozy.

    A hole in the wall spot with delusions food and good service. Everything we ordered was tasty. I especially liked the coconut veg stew. The Laska and the satay peanut noodles were also delicious! They had plenty of vegetarian options too ( you could make the needles veggie if you wanted). I also loved their rose milk. Sooo good.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the area, small but always clean and good seating. I usually get the peanut noodles or Singapore noodles, but tried their new curry dish today (pictured) which was delicious. Also recommend the honey roasted pork, great value overall

    Loved the texture of the noodles, the laksa sauce was super flavorful, and it was really comforting and filling. If you like curry I recommend it. Will definitely have again. The rose milk was refreshing alongside this dish.

    I did not know Singapore have different styles of noodles. So far, all the dishes I have tried never disappoint me. I am gonna try their new rice noodles bowl later this week.

    The tofu vegetable curry is DELICIOUS, and I could just eat bowls of the coconut rice on its own! Best Singaporean food in NYC. Only wish they had more vegan/vegetarian options, and real plates/silverware

    I really like the food and delivery is fast. I’ve ordered the Singapore noodles dish 2x and have had the same issue. yes delicious but where are the veggies? I see some pictures from others who seem to have eaten at restaurant, and there is a good balance of eggs and veggies with the yummy noodles. My delivery order is mostly noodles. They are so tasty so I’m not super upset. But would be nice if the egg and veg part was higher.

    The chili crab pasta truly reminds me of Singapore. Even though this place is far from me, it was worth the trek. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. It was a little sweet for my taste and I wish it was spicier but it was still amazing. I would also get more crab meat next time for only a 1.50 more.

    Small, nicely-decorated spot in Washington Heights. We came after going to the Cloisters and despite coming at an off hour, the food was prepared quickly. We ordered laksa, roti john, a side of bok choy, and the pandan waffle, which was $40 with tip. The laksa was excellent -- very shrimp-y and ginger-y, balanced by chewy noodles and fresh bean sprouts and cucumber. The bok choy went well with it. The roti john was also a pretty nice and unique snack. The waffle was simple but great, with nice pandan flavor in the kaya jam. Portion sizes were all generous and prices were on the lower side for NYC. Definitely worth the trip up for us, and I'd come back to try more things.

    Food was decent street food, nothing special. Mung beans in the laksa was too raw though. Came out pretty fast, but in delivery containers. Place was pretty quiet at 1:30pm.

    I had the satay peanut noodles and the sayur lodeh side stew - both were great and very satisfying, and everything came out fairly quickly

    Love this place, everything I’ve gotten here has been delicious. There’s lots of vegetarian options and the Singapore noodles with tofu are so good. Also the coconut veggie stew is delicious. The lunch special is an amazing deal. Really quick delivery on grubhub as well.

    Did not have Singaporean food for a very long time. I am so happy to have found this place. Laksa soup is very fulfilling and comforting. I also tried curry puff and black rice. They both tasted amazing
