Taste Good Malaysian Cuisine: Authentic Malaysian Flavors in Elmhurst

Really delicious - the laksa was unbelievable I couldn’t get enough and our server was nice enough to give us some more broth just cause. Definitely will be going back to try more menu items.

Wow , good food I love it. I and my friend have ordered Shrimp Wonton Soup, six skewers of pork Malaysian Satay Panggang , Sambal shrimp ( Sautéed shrimps with spicy homemade sauce that served with piece of cucumbers and lime , is was delicious but you need to order white rice, due to it wasn’t come with rice. And we also ordered egg noodles with roasted pork no. 106 if I’m not wrong . It was yummy as well. And for drinks they provided hot tea but we also ordered Malay ice tea . That tastes good. We love it. This restaurant you need to pee cash because they are for cash only. And a restaurant not far from Elmhurst subway station. Staffs were friendly and nice . And price was reasonable. Recommend!!

My favorite Malaysian restaurant in Queens, The food tastes authentic, that feels truly Malaysian. The flavors are rich, and full of spices. The sambal has the perfect spicy kick.

For what it's worth, if you're looking for an authentic Southeast Asian experience when it comes to their cuisine. This place certainly has it in spades. This is one of those restaurants you'd have to keep a keen eye on while looking for it otherwise you'd walk right past it because it's fairly narrow. At least that's how it looks outside but there is ample amount of seating inside and the inside of the area does have a Hong Kong restaurant feel to it with a mainly woodgrain interior mixed with some Cantonese decorations here and there. The service is very solid here in this place. Employees were very attentive and served my order in a steady amount of time, supplying me with a fair amount of utensils and napkins. I had my usual favorite, Hainanese Chicken and Rice though mind you, while you and me are used to the chicken being prepped and deboned, no such thing here as it's basically chopped up Chicken, poured in broth and served to you. As good as the chicken was, eating it wasn't pleasant as I had to be mindful of the bones in the chicken. It was rather cumbersome but the only net negative in the place. One of the servers handed me a few extra napkins as a way to place the bones in and probably gave me the look of "This guy must be new here" Lmao (I'm not new to the cuisine but the experience was a first for me. The MVP of the meal was the sweet chili sauce to go with the rice, it was profoundly delicious. Normally I'd favor Soy Sauce with my rice but the sweet chili was an excellent addition. I prefer my Hainanese Chicken over rice to be served to me simple with no bones but as someone who desires to visit Singapore and Malaysia someday, this is a good learning lesson on how the food and ettiquite is set up here.

Of the Malaysia restaurants I’ve tried in New York this one has the widest variety of Malaysia dishes. I feel like the other restaurants have a majority Malaysian dishes but also include the typical American Asian dishes like pad thai, sushi rolls etc. Taste Good has so many dishes I miss from Malaysia and I felt like I wanted to keep ordering more! Service was okay, attentive but nothing above and beyond. The dining room is small, about 8 tables. They can seat large parties. Singapore curry laksa - a very strong coconut flavor but not very heavy on the prawn flavor. They serve it with the thicker glass noodle rather than the yellow egg noodle + thin vermicelli mei fun. I liked it and would order again but it’s not served “authentically” if that’s what you’re looking for. Crispy fish cake - verrrrry crispy. Different than the Thai tod mun. Served with Thai chili sauce. Sizzling tofu - there’s a layer of egg at the bottom and minced meat with some veggies on top. A nice flavorful gravy paired well with rice. Yam basket - my boyfriend and dad enjoyed this dish a lot. It’s unique if you’ve never had it before! Hainanese chicken rice - not bad! It’s not the best I’ve ever had and def leans more towards the American style of the sweeter soy sauce. The chili sauce was pretty good. Popiah - Popiah is a thin pancake roll with light veggies inside. The sauce is a little savory. It’s hard to describe but I’d recommend trying it. Fragrant fish - a crispy fried fish with sweet sauce. It’s slightly spicy. I wouldn’t say this is super Malaysian but it was a yummy dish!

Taste Good Malaysian Food in Elmhurst is one of those hidden gems that you’re glad you found. The dishes are incredibly flavorful, and the portions are generous for the price. The roti served with the chicken curry was especially good the bread was warm and flaky, and the curry had just the right amount of spice and depth of flavor. One nice touch is that they give you free tea with every meal, which makes the experience even better. The food also comes out very quickly, and the staff are friendly and attentive even when it gets busy. Just keep in mind that this is a cash-only place, so come prepared. Malaysian food isn’t something you find everywhere, especially made this well, so it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in Elmhurst or just looking to try something new.

Hole in the wall joint serving delicious Malaysian food. roti canai was very delicious. The soft bread and the chicken curry tasted really good. Hainanese chicken wasn’t all that. satay was good. Generous portions of shrimp fried rice. It’s cash only so don’t forget to bring in cash with you.

I stopped by for lunch after discovering this place on Instagram—it looked promising, and I’ve been craving Malaysian food for a while. We started with the roti, which was warm, flaky, and really satisfying. I ordered the Singapore laksa—flavor-wise, it was decent but didn’t quite stand out. We also had a whole fish dish, which was impressively large and perfect for sharing. Overall, a nice spot with a good variety on the menu. I’m definitely coming back to try the Hainanese chicken next time!
