The Scene – Market regulars, Hollywood hipsters and adventurous Grove shoppers squeeze together in line to place their orders at the uncluttered counter of this popular, family-run establishment. Service is not especially speedy, but it is friendly and pleasant, and food comes appealingly served on real banana leaves. – – The Food – The home-style cuisine, a merge of Far Eastern flavors, hits its mark. Rojak salad, a dizzying, delectable melange of fresh fruit, crisp vegetables and fried tofu tossed in a heavenly spicy peanut-tamarind dressing, is not to be missed.…

One of the only Malaysian places in LA
by monrok at Citysearch
I have been looking for one item everywhere in LA, Roti Kunai, and I finally found it here! This place is AWESOME with really authentic food. Too bad it is just a little eatery, and there aren't more restaurants like this is LA, there are quite a few in New York. Also, it is in the Grove, so parking isn't the best but if you happen to be spending the day in the grove, this is the place to grab a bite.
- Pros: Authentic Authentic!!
- Cons: Just a fast food place, no ambiance

Overrated, not authentic, and worst service in farmer's market
by fredericksho at Citysearch
I used to like this place, but not anymore. The last time I went there, I ordered Tuna Sambal and it tasted really weird and not authentic. They also reduce the food portion a lot.
Most importantly, the woman at the server's really rude and she kept playing with her little girl when I ordered.
NOT RECOMMENDED!
- Pros: none
- Cons: Worst service, rude people, not authentic

Awful non authentic food!
by pulaupinang at Citysearch
Awful! The beef rendang was sourish and tough. The chicken curry tasted like boiled chicken added to curry sauce. The otak otak was some weird dough mixture flavored with fish flavoring served with peanut butter sambal. Is this a new Singaporean dip? The girl who took our order looked like she would rather be anywhere but taking orders. Very unfriendly! Rolled her eyes at a customer who took some time in ordering. I was born and raised in Malaysia....Sorry! this place is not worth the drive and the parking nightmare!
- Pros: Pictures of food looked appetizing!
- Cons: Food was not tasty, ordered spicy and got mild, almost run down by angry driver waiting for parking
