Satay House

One of the best Asian restaurant in town. Never disappoint. Menu changed a little bit but they still have the originals. 5 star because this is the only Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant so there is nothing to compare to. Did I have better chicken and stir fry from other cities or countries. Yes. It is a family restaurant so service can be lacking so have some patience

Should be called "Satay House of Flavour!"I don't know what they do to their Curry Mee With Young Tao Fu, but it is phenomenal. Can you say lemongrass coconut curry? They have also perfected their Penang Prawn Mee with hard boiled egg. Tonight we hang with a vegan couple and a vegetarian couple. They shared the reason they eat here is because most every dish can be prepared for them. The service is very efficient. Not much for conversation, but they really take care of you. Refills and tipped off water glasses are a thing of beauty. I bet we'll be back.The prices may seem a bit high. The portions are large and the fare divine! 08/24

They have consistently good hainan chicken. This is the first time reviewing other dishes. Hainan chicken: soft, juicy, tender, pairs great with chili and garlic sauces. Savory. This is their classic so if you get one thing, get this.Chicken rice: it's infused with chicken broth/fat because it is very savory and enjoyable. In the picture I ordered half order of hainan chicken and side of rice which I think is the most worth it. Curry Mee with Young Tao Fu - fried tofu in savory noodle soup with egg noodle. It is a little spicy but not too bad. Has a unique Malaysian taste that we could not recreate at home. I'm glad I tried this dish!Chow Fen - Fried chow fen with bok choy, mixed seafood, in savory brown sauce. This is also pretty uniquely malaysian and I'm glad I tried this. It is a bit heavy with the corn starch and thick but overall a satisfying dish. Service: staff was rude, short, and honestly too be expected and we didn't come for the service. We were told to move the high chair to our table. Ambiance. Some Malaysian decorations but not much. Chairs/table standard. Nothing special. It is so unique even for my East Asian palette, and their Hainan chicken never disappoints.

The Hainanese chicken dish was simple, but it was exactly what I wanted. The wok hei on the fried noodles exceeded expectations! Loved the food and the service. Small and quiet place with lots of options on the menu.

I really liked this spot for the variety of Malaysian and Pan-Asian cuisine. It's hearty, flavorful, and delicious. I tried their Pad Thai,Malaysian fried rice, Singaporean noodles, and Roti with curry chicken.

Great place to go and try Malaysian food. Restaurant is simply decorated with large windows. Similar to a diner in ambiance. Service friendly. Food was fresh and flavorful. Food more geared toward Chinese Malay than Indian.

Yum! What a gem of a find. It was actually a little hard to find because the outdoor signage is not obvious. We are happy we stopped by. We had chicken satay, Indian mee goreng, Roti Canai, beef rendang and Hainan chicken. Everything was delicious. We wished they had some better hot sauce (sambal) but it was still fine. The server(?) was sitting with friends who were eating so it was hard to get her attention. She was nice enough though.

What a great place to try Singaporean/Malaysian food! Came with a group and we ordered a variety of dishes -- Hainanese chicken (of course), roti canai, Asam Laksa, Kang Kung Belacan, and Malaysian Fried Noodle.The Hainanese chicken was very yummy -- soft, flavorful with good sauces on the side. I have definitely had more "silky" textured Hainanese chicken outside of Detroit, but this definitely hits the spot. My favorite dish though was probably the Kang Kung Belacan as I am a huge fan of water spinach, and the savory shrimp paste makes it 1000x tastier. The roti Canai was pretty standard, with a pretty decent sized roti. The Malaysian Fried Noodle was pretty good - more mildly flavored and a good palate cleanser. We weren't the biggest fan of the laksa -- felt that it was a bit bitter in flavor and not like the sour/spicy laksa's we are used to. Overall though, we had a great meal and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality of food!

We stopped in for a quick lunch on Saturday at noon. The restaurant was completely empty at this time and only 2 more parties showed up before we finished. We got the following:Roti Canai - I'm pretty sure this was a pan fried frozen roti. It did not have the glass-like crisp of a freshly made roti; it was kind of sad and floppy. The curry it came with had a good concentrated curry flavor. It had an extremely undercooked piece of potato inside and a small piece of chicken. Asam Laksa - The broth base for the Laksa has the correct tamarind sourness, sugar sweetness, chili spiciness, and a somewhat fishy savoriness, but it's missing a robustness or depth that comes with a broth that has been simmering for hours. The noodles were good though - perfectly cooked and bouncy laksa rice noodles. The toppings included bean sprouts, julienned cucumbers, sliced onions, halved fishballs, and some (canned?) fish.Curry Mee - Coconutty sweet, spicy and savory with a slight curry flavor, but once again, the broth was on the weak side. The egg noodles were overcooked. The toppings were good - you can't go wrong with bean sprouts, tofu skin and stuffed fried tofu.The service was basically non existent - we had to grab our own soup spoons and we never had our water refilled. There were two dead fruit flies on the table we sat at.I don't know if it's true, but to my taste buds, I feel Satay House mostly uses jarred or canned sauce/soup bases with canned and frozen toppings. If you've visited Malaysia or even just been to a Malaysian restaurant in a city with a higher Malaysian population, Satay House feels very average in comparison. This is the only Malaysian restaurant in Metro Detroit so I think they get a pass from a lot of people. Unfortunately, it's just not that great for me.

Good and homey, could be a little friendlier .Close to home cooking, I believe due to ingredients makes the noticeable flavor change.But I would come back.
