I've gone to this place several times, and the food is pretty good, if not authentic. The last time I went, I ordered a donburi (rice bowl with soupy egg topping and choice of meat), and the cooks clearly didn't know what they were doing. They mixed takuan (white radish pickle) into the donburi, something akin to pouring your wine on top of your entree--those things are supposed to be separate. Kind of gross, especially since takuan is an acquired taste for most Americans. They also mixed in these bright red sweet pickles that usually go with spicy things like curry rice. Again, another sign they didn't know what they were doing. We ordered a big bottle of plum wine, and the wine we got tasted sugary. When we checked the label it said that it was a grape wine with plum flavoring. Another negative for that visit. I'm not in a big hurry to go back, but I know eventually I will because it's convenient, not too expensive, and good enough for a quick fix.
Pros: Ambience, proximity to other things to do
Cons: Food is not authentic

We went there several times now and we always call first to find out if they were sereving malaysian menu that night - the reason for that is because they only have of whihc I think 1 cook that can cook malaysian food. ANd this cook for some reason is not always there. Nice restaurant, malaysian food had it's own menu with quite extensive options, and you can say that the food is good.
