Malaysian Hut Restaurant

Great little taste of Malaysia. The chef was quite accommodating to our party's needs as some has Gluten intolerances and adjusted a few of the items accordingly. The smells were wonderful, and the tastes reminded us of Malaysia. We had a birthday party celebration and everyone was impressed by the great variety and tastes that came from the Malaysian Hut!

We had a great experience here while dining in for dinner. Strike up a great conversation with Irene. If you’re looking for that authentic Malaysia taste that you have been craving for, then look no further. This is the place you have been looking for. Pro tip : Always call in advance to check if they are open for business.

I very rarely give a restaurant a low rating but I just have to with this one purely based on the food, even though the owner couple seem really nice and conversational. We went there for the first time and ordered Mee Goreng and Beef Redang and asked them to make both really spicy and to make them as to-go orders. Upon receiving the items I confirmed with the lady if they were made spicy and she said yes and that she was coughing up while making the mee goreng so it will be spicy. I asked if she had the chilli sauce she used as sometimes the Asian restaurants say they have made it spicy but they really ain’t spicy so then it helps to use their chilli sauce so she said she didn’t have any and that she had regular chilli sauce so we didn’t get any. Anyway, when we opened the mee goreng we were surprised to see just 1 SINGLE Shrimp in the whole box!!!! And there were 4-5 small pieces of tofu like u can see in the pictures. That’s a rip off for the money u pay! They should At least mention that on their menu that we he dish comes with 1 shrimp and nothing else but the noodles & 4 pieces of tiny tofu! So we know what we are ordering. And of course it was NoT Spicy as we wanted. Now onto the Beef Redang- it was a simple Beef curry! It did not have that peculiar Indonesian spice paste that a beef Redang should have. It lacked flavour and taste,forget about it being spicy. So sad! We make better beef curry at home! Another waste of $15 for it. I almost forgot to mention that beef Redang comes with sooo much of oil on top that I had too pour the excess into the sink! (Check pictures for before and after)I can’t believe how this place gets so many good reviews. Clearly they have forgotten or don’t know how Malaysian and Indonesian food tastes. Extremely disappointing! Also the indoor seating looks so drabby which is why we ordered take out.

the carb to meat/ vege ratio is totally unacceptable. Never been to a peace where they cut a prawn in half and pass it on as 1 too save$$. Quite unaccomodating as well when we brought this to their attention. Hainan chicken looks like it is made from a chicken kfc rejected as is too malnourished and feeble and it tastes like that is the case as well. If i wanted to carb up i would have gone home and made a pot of rice...

It's a taste of everyday Malaysian cooking, the dishes are pretty good and authentic. I am cognizant of the regional differences of tastes, ingredients and cooking style for the same name dishes. I do think that the prices are a little bit of the high side compared to similar establishment and serving sizes. Service is very friendly although when we went down sit in dining was not available because of the covid-19 pandemic.

Ever since travelling to Sarawak, I have been LOOKING for Sarawak-style Laksa. At Malaysian Hut, I’ve found it! This tasted right, and it was delicious! The owner is from Kuching in Malaysia, and it’s rare to be able to find Kuching Style Laksa, as well! Currently, the restaurant is only doing take out, but we were able to eat outdoors at the benches by the Dairy Queen. They were really lovely and the food was delicious - absolutely worth the drive out from Vancouver! I hope to come visit again soon!
