I have come here many times........... I like the combination noodles and chicken rice. Usually not too crowded so can enjoy your meal better. Will come back again.
There are some things this place does well and actually we found the Chicken rice okay. It's not the top of the line place for it however it is better than many other places we have been. Note, the original chef who used to work here is back and hopefully those that found things not quite up to standard before should see an improvement.
Something new that I really enjoy is the Popiah. That's freshly made spring rolls Malaysian style - the skin of the spring roll is not fried and the ingredients are a great blend of veggies and a tiny hint of meat. All that is needed is to ask for some hoi sin or chilli sauce and you are set! The price is also a very reasonable $5 (at the time of writing) for about five pieces which is quite a large spring roll.
Also good here is the belachan spinach and the fillets of sweet and sour fish. The lobak has dropped in quality as the meat inside tended to be a bit more like soggy mince however it's a case of knowing the dishes that they can do well and the ones that are better left alone. As mentioned by other reviewers we also found the Yam ring a good dish as is the carrot cake with its great blend of white raddish, spring onions, dried spring onions, and soy. Other recommended items include mixed vegetables with tofu, pork hock (leg), belachan kangkong, pepper fish fillets and fried spicy salt flounder.
Menu item pricing has gone up a bit and servings sizes tend to be reasonable. We enjoy the fact that this is one of the few places that offers plain, coconut and chicken rice so you can mix and match your rice with the dishes you order. Although some find the plain rice too wet for their liking, so go for the chicken or coconut rice which is drier.
The decor is, well, suburban, but you couldn't expect much else, and the service can be a bit frustrating as they seem to have wait staff come and go quite a bit - students mostly!
Overall a good place to visit for Malaysian at okay prices - it's still better than our experience at Papa Rich which is not far away!

Used to go to this place a lot. Me and my ex used to drive all the way from the city to have the chicken rice. Recently went back to the restaurant with a friend but we were very disappointed. The chicken tasted dry and bland. The rice were not as fragrant and fluffy as they used to be.
Approximate cost: $20.00
I'm a regular here as it is close by. My favourite would be the Tom Yum noodle soup...I really like the sourness of the soup base. In fact all the dishes I've eaten here are above average and the prices are not expensive. Another plus is that they usually give you complimentary dessert(Pulut Hitam). Highly recommended.
Great place to bring family or friends for dinner, they have plenty of seats and the food are good. The most popular dish would be their Hainanese chicken and Yam(some sort of potato) ring. I also love their Belacan kangkong(Water spinach with Shrimp paste). Price is reasonable and the lady owner is always very nice and friendly.
Approximate cost: $15
The food is above average for its price. I would say it is excellent for its value. The owner is always friendly, smiling, and they even give out the desert for FREE.
My children have always asked to go to Malaya Inn when we are eating out.
Decor is average and clean, serving food speed is always very fast.
I would recommended to everyone.

I have been to this restaurant for about 7 years. They were only a small shop then. Nowadays, the food is not as delicious is not as before. The most popular dish is the chicken rice and the yam ring is excellent.
reasonably priced and there is plenty of seating available. the service was ok and food was tasty. good place i reckon to bring family and friends for a meal. parking can sometimes be a hassle during peak hour
The food is very authentic especially the fried carrot cake. It is the best carrot cake I ever eaten. Price wise is reasonable. I enjoy their chicken rice too.
Eating in is not so great as waitresses and waiters are not too friendly. However the food is delicious with different dishes from Malaysian, Thai and Singaporean cuisine. Try the hokkien mee.
