Hainam Chicken Drum Stick on Rice (Chicken Legs and Wings )and seafood Cabbage Fish Head Noodle Soup are my favorite SouthEast Asian street foods and price are made for everyone.
I always come here for Thai milk tea and it’s the best! It’s not too sweet so it’s perfect!
We ordered food to go last night and it was ready in less than 15 minutes. Got some tofu satay, ate it on the street with friends. SO good! The Roti Canai was crispy and the sauce was delish - tender chicken and a nice chunk of potato- I could eat that all day. I loved the way the tofu was stuffed and the peanut sauce was excellent. Then we took the rest home, and enjoyed the Malaysian Buddhist dish and Singapore Chow Mei Fun. There were lots of sauces in the bag for different preferences. I look forward to going back soon and getting some kaya jam too!
Serve authentic Malaysian food. Reasonable price.
This best curry in town. Would recommend.
Authentic Malaysian food. Lim peh sibeh like it
This place serves legit Malaysian food. Ordered the asam fish head curry(you can ask for the sauce to be mixed, curry + asam. And flash fry the fish head). Delish!
This is the best nasi lemak I got outside Malaysia so far. The Acha and the ikan bilis chili onion is superb and the curry chicken is almost the same as our Malaysia local standard. Moreover, the price of this restaurant is very reasonable.If you are bored on the burgers, steaks and french fries.. this is the best I can recommend if you are around this area.. thumbs up!
Love this place, price is fair and despite the pandemic, food quality is a+
A bit expensive, the food is ok. Not the worst but definitely not great.
This place is absolutely amazing! I have been coming here for several years and the food has been 95% consistent. I have never been disappointed.
Food was disgusting.bland coldun appetizing supposed to be malaysian food it was slip never going there again should be condemned
Service is great!Just a little disappointed when I haven’t have the hometown food for so long and I know they could do better. If you ask a real Malaysian, the food just barely pass the minimum standard.Oyster pancake (蚝煎) was not crips and quite greasy,Char Kuey Teow(炒粿条) portion was big, but the flavor can be found in any typical Chinese Carryout. Not the right noodle style either. I don’t expect the noodle to be exact same, but Wok Hei (锅气) must be there.I asked if they have Kaya Spread with bread, but the Vietnamese server didn’t quite understand what I was really refer to and said yes to me while seating me. I remember one of the Malaysian chef was there listening the entire conversation but he didn’t correct the server/ step in to say anything, just creepily looking at me.Would like to give them second chance when I return to NYC
One of my top places for tasty Malaysian food. This place will surprise you. The service was very kind and attentive. Prices were decent.
The service was fantastic.,Our waitress was so polite and prompt. The food is delicious and fresh. The calamari is the best I’ve eaten anywhere. This was a wonderful experience.
One of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn. The food is always amazing!
If youre in the mood for Malaysian food, this place will satisfy your taste buds and fill your belly. Service is courteous and spot on. Well be back.
The foods is very original....like eating at Malaysia Kopitiam.
Best malaysian Resturant in sunset park Chinatown would recommend
Very good service, delicious food and authentic. I actually lived in Malaysia for years and I can tell that this restaurant is very authentic and 100% Malaysian. The prices are very reasonable, the quality is great, and the staff are very nice. The restaurant is clean and well ventilated.
The waitress was just wonderful. I should have asked her name. She had a big smile. In fact they were all very nice.
Love the staff here! They are so nice!The food is good and the price is reasonable.
Food was mediocre and I got a different item than what I ordered. Unlikely to order there again.
This is one of the best malaysian restaurants on 8th Avenue. The food is really tasty and it has good seasoning. The customer sevice is great. The womanand man in front is very friendly and I definitely recommend this restaurant. Its really difficult to find a good malaysian spot in the neighborhood and this one spot is definitely worth it. Please go show some support.
A nice cozy place. Convenient on Brooklyns 8th Ave. Chinatown, 2-3 blocks from the subway station. Just had a quick Hainan chicken rice dinner dish before driving home. Food was good, service was good, and for $10 including tips the price was good. I recommend it.
Not as good as I remembered, but still very delicious food. Fried rice was good, pancake was light and crispy, Hainanese chicken was a bit on the dry side.
I am not an expert in malasian food, but I really like what I got, it was flavorful and tasted fresh. The service was good as well.
Very pricey..
The waitress literally dropped the roti on the table and literally just picked it back up and served it to us. The portion size is definitely not worth the price. The food here does not taste good. I came here a couple of times and I was disappointed all the times I was here. Would not recommend this place
You can try!
Everything is nice, the food is nice, the price is okay. The waiter is good too
Food was generally okay. Favorite dishes like roti canai, Char Kway Teow was not authentic iin its appearance, though the taste was decent.
Ordered Curry beef stew, $12.50 with three little pieces of meat, everything else is ineatable fat and tendon. This will be the last time I buy at this place. Gonna tell my friends not to go there. The pork on the other dish also taste a little bit sour in a funny way, ended up throwing it out.
Terrible service. Waitress refused to exchange an order that she messed up. Furthermore, she even tried to gain sympathy by saying she had to cover the cost of the dish if she were to bring it back to the kitchen. We ended up paying for a dish we didnt even touch. Never returning, not worth it.
Deleciois food love the roti! Staff were very polite and accommodating. Great atmosphere!
All the food doesnt delicious, not exactly is Malaysian cuisine cooking taste.
Great food and really nice service. Cant wait to go back.
I Came here with my girlfriend whos half Indonesian. She liked Gado-gado. Me not so much: tofu, bean sprouts, shrimp crackers and peanut sauce - I eat all of these daily but at Belacan it didnt stand out. Fried crabs meat wouldnt come out in one peace but continue to shred, which wasnt a good sign. I asked the owner because the staff doesnt speak English about Mango Prawns. He sent 5 pieces to us, we ate one each: those were over cooked, totally dehydrated. We asked to take it off the bill. The owner, interrupted from his phone, argued with us pointing out that we ate a half. We also discovered that prawns were previously frozen. He noted that thats how its done in Asian restaurants which was attempt to play on ignorance and racism. We lost it here! We didnt pay for the prawns. My girlfriend felt sick on the way home. Hopefully, we wont have to go to the hospital.
Good Malaysian and Chinese food, friendly service, very close to N line subway station and bus lines. Located in Brooklyns 8th Ave Chinatown.
Very friendly wait staffs and never too crowded. Price is a bit cheaper than manhattan Chinatown and they offer the same dish as the malaysian places in manhattan.
Table is too small, as small as one person table but they fit it with 2ppl/table. Some of the food just being too salty or over flavoured. Portion/ingredient is not worth the price offered, as yo can go try out.
Food was a bit sweet, as if the cook mistakenly used sugar instead of salt.
Love the food! Good price!

New Belacan is never empty, but its never full either. Its one of those places you wonder about how theyre still in business. Ive seen this place under new management quite a couple of times. Every time, its usually a hit or miss but mostly a miss. Sadly, this time was yet another miss.I ordered the mee goreng. It was just very lackluster. But what it wasnt lacking was grease. I tried my Dads chicken curry and the chicken was dry. The curry wasnt bad though. My mom had the fish head soup with rice noodles - I actually really liked the broth so I guess if I do find myself back here again (unlikely), that is what I would probably order.Service was slow, which is a no-no for a restaurant on 8th Ave. We Chinese people are an impatient people. While this level of service would have been appropriate in Manhattan, it doesnt quite fit in this Brooklyn neighborhood.There are a few other Malaysian options in this area, so you might be better off at one of those.
Decent if you want a quick meal! Dont expect 5 star service, youre in 8 ave. I always stop by to get some nasi lemak or roti.
Great Malaysian food. I keep returning back here.
Very good roti canai and curry chicken
Their Hainanese Chicken is clean, fresh, and delicious, and is better than that of their two close competitors (Nonya and Redang Island). The Nonya location nearby drowns their gummy-textured chicken in soy sauce (unlike the Manhattan location which makes it very well). The Assam laksa at New Belacan is also consistently good with a strong, delicious soup and perfectly textured noodles.
Food is not good at all during the pandemic.
My favorite restaurant in the area. Great food great service and fast.
The server explains well
Good food, friendly employees!

Love their Satay, Roti, Mee Siam

Average ...
Great tasty food.
Went once a long time ago and I have a good impression. Today I took a few friends and went again. The dishes and services are still ok. If you havent been, you can try it.
The service attitude is good.
The decoration and service are OK, the recommended dishes and the taste after serving are OK.
I gave a tip, but I didn’t have enough free time, and I had to give cash, but I didn’t let it go. I wanted to ask the reason, but I didn’t care.

2022-06-15As soon as you enter the door, you feel the welcome of the restaurant staff, perhaps there are fewer waiters, so once you order, the waiter is more likely to take care of the customers who have just entered the restaurant; the price of the food is cheaper than the others same type of restaurant in the same area, but the material is correspondingly not enough, for example, there are only about 8 small pieces of beef in green bean beef; and 2 shrimp, 2 small squid rings and 4 slices of fish balls in seafood rice... The food is salty.
