LoveMama

Tried this place on the East side of town after reading some reviews. Was greeted and seated right away on a slow Monday night. The place is simple and clean, no frills with respect to ambience.Ordered the Roti Canai for an appetizer. The Roti was buttery and flaky as it should be. The lentil dip could maybe be better. The entree of PadSee Ew was very good. Tender chicken slivers with noodles done perfectly. This was the first time that I can think of when I was not asked 'What level of Spice?' In a Thai restaurant. Worth a return trip next time in nyc

Nice spot, great Malaysian options!I was initially hesitant because of their culturally diverse menu, but I was gladly surprised to try traditional Malaysian comfort dishes. The Nasi Lemak packed a heavy combination of flavor, especially coconut and tamarind.

Has the besssttt dinner. Literally best Thai food I've ever had. And the price you cannot beat. Service and staff were so amazing. I will def be dreaming of this place forever. Curry Laksa fest in photo

Very tasty and affordable southeast asian food! I really enjoyed my pad see ew and thai tea. Plus service is so friendly!

We didn't have dinner reservations for anywhere and decided to come here on a whim on a late Sunday night after looking thru Yelp. This is a local mom & pop shop. This was my first time trying Malaysian food. (They have viet and Thai food on the menu as well) I ordered the Rendang Nasi Lemak and my bf ordered the Nasi Goreng which is fried rice. I must say my dish was really delicious. The curry, hardboiled egg, cucumber, and coconut pandan flavor of the rice brought so much flavor. My bfs fried rice was good too but of course he liked mine better. My friend ordered pad see ew and he enjoyed it. The calamansi honey jasmine tea that we ordered was also good. The owner came up to our table and was super nice and friendly. Had a nice conversation with him. Overall, we all enjoyed our meal and I'm glad we got to try this place out.

Walking past this unassuming but heart-warming restaurant and decided to make a stop here. Oh so glad I did! Loveee the Rendang Nasik Lemak - the beef was so tender and the curry had a kick too. The roti was phenomenal and came out piping out. Mango sticky rice was also delicious - the mango was sweet and ripe. Very friendly owner and staff. Would love to come back!

We came here as a party of 3 around 3:30pm for a very late lunch. Probably because of the awkward meal timing, the restaurant was empty other than 1 other patron. It did seem like a popular take out place based on the number of people we saw walk in and out with their orders. Sidenote: we went in the middle of August and it was VERY hot inside. Our food came out very quickly and were all delicious. This definitely isn't a fancy sit down place. They take your order, bring out your food, you eat, pay, and leave. But importantly, the food is delicious. For a quick stop and go meal, it was perfect for us. My vegetarin friend had no difficulty finding something to eat.

I've never reviewed a place where I'm still enjoying my food at. My goodness the food is so delicious and flavorful I would come to New York just for this spot! This family owned restaurant is a jewel here and I wish we had one out in LA because I'd go here at least once a week. The spices are good and have a great kick to it while still being able to taste the other complexities of the meal. The owners are super friendly and love to interact with customers, so please come in and say hello, have a chat, and most importantly EAT HERE! My partner loved the dumplings the most out of all three dishes. He said the combination of the flavors were excellent and well put together. It was salty, sweet, and savory. He couldn't stop eating it!My favorite dish was the rendang nasi lemak, I have no idea what was in it because I just ordered what ever was popular and the owner said it was very good. I trusted him and my goodness it was delicious!!! The rice had hints of coconut flavor which I've never had in a savory dish. The cucumbers complimented the dish very well too, it was cold and crunchy, with a hint of sweetness. It balances out the dish entirely! I would definitely get this again. I highly recommend this!!!The mee goreng noodles were so good! We got the chicken as the protein and it was the most tender chicken I've ever had! The noodles were so yummy and chewy! Also, the tofu is delectable and has so much flavor !!! Explosion of flavor in all these dishes! When I come back to NYC, this is the first place I'm going to! I highly recommend this spot!

LoveMama is a cheap, easy place to grab a quick bite if you are in the area and craving noodles but aren't sure what type of Asian cuisine to definitively go for. The service is quick and the restaurant has lots of space for seating.I got pho last time I was here, and it's a solid choice. The broth is strong and flavorful and they definitely don't skimp on the meat. For me, it was almost too much meat and it was just a bit tough, but otherwise still tasty.

Staff are really friendly, food and portion size! Recommend the skewers they were very flavourful and delicious
