Chicken satay was succulent and perfectly seasoned. The laksa was ok and the service excellent. There are no frills here but it is a clean and pleasant place to enjoy good Malaysian food.
Great friendly hosts and the Nasi goreng kampung is the specialty. Shame they will be moving on around May. Hope they turn out somewhere again in the near future.
Very nice nasi goreng kampung! Gem in the middle of the university precinct! Not dure why i have missed this place in 18 years. Will definitely come back hahaha
This is a relatively authentic Malaysian place - very mom and pop feel to the restaurant and the furnishings won't remind you of a classy place, but this place certainly makes up for it with their food and service. It won't be the best I've eaten, but their service is quick, friendly and humbling.

The food here is quite tasty, and is definitely along the lines of Malaysian cuisine. However, it is not the best out of all the Malaysian restaurants I've tried in Auckland, so far.
The rice in the Hainan chicken rice could do with a stronger chicken flavour, whereas the mee goreng that I had could do with a bit more colour.
Also, the Teh tarik was a bit lacking in froth and colour (a mixture of it not being "pulled" enough and a lighter brew of tea served).
All in all, these are very minor details and could very well be suited to some with a taste for a milder flavours.
The one gripe that I have with this store is the fact that they charge $1 for a takeaway container (on top of that, the container provided is not one of the high quality plastic takeaway boxes, but the cheap porous polystyrene containers).
Of course being Malaysian, I would never waste food, so I paid to take home my leftovers. On the plus side, the food serving is decent and each meal could feed two adults who eat moderate portions!

Husband and I have not visited this place since University since it is tucked away in the side street. However the other day when we were in the area and suddenly remembered the place, we thought we had to come dine here!
The guy serving us was friendly, with a wicked sense of humour. Husband started with the rose syrup with condensed milk - a Malaysian specialty apparently. The colour was bright pink and gorgeous, and he really enjoyed the taste. It was a bit too out there and overly sweet for my liking to be honest!
The Hokkien noodle was just as tasty as we remembered - saucy and hearty. I was very grateful that they were happy to make my stir fry rice noodles vegetarian my replacing meat with lots of tofu and vegetables :) Although I thought the flavours could be more intense.
The serving portions were satisfying and perfect for one. We ended our meal by sharing a sago pudding. The brown sugar syrup at the bottom of the dish was just heavenly, reminded me of the caramel sauce on Taiwanese puddings. The sweetness was also perfectly balanced with coconut cream.
Was a bit sad that this is apparently their last year here :( Would love to come and visit again before they are permanently gone!
A humble little restaurant across the street from the O'Rorke Hall. My friend and I just wanted a little something, not a big meal so we ordered a chicken satay appetiser to share. I personally thought the food was good but not mind-blowing and a little pricey ($20 in total). I saw the guy behind me had a massive portion of noodles so it's probably worth it for the mains. The food came promptly and the service was friendly.
Came for lunch specifically for the sago pudding. We had quite a large table (about 10) so we had pre-ordered during booking. The food was good and quite tasty and most items were under $20. Most of the items on the menu is generally quite tasty. I thought that the sago needed more sauce (coconut and Gula Mekala) but otherwise was good.
Once a month went here for some food. The chef and waiter is friendly. The food, yeah its pretty good. However, the price is a bit pricy compared to the asian-cuisine restaurants I've visited in Auckland CBD.
Good place to go if your place is nearby and you dont mind spending some extra $$
Listed in Metro's top 100 cheap eats, we thought we'd give this place a try! Tucked away from the main road, it's very convenient for uni students nearby. Parking isn't the easiest, as you'll often find in the city but once your there the service is friendly and the restaurant has a nice casual vibe to it.
We ordered the Mamak Kuay Teow Goreng and Tau kwa chien – both dishes were a reasonably portioned and a decent price. The Tau Kwa Chien was quite refreshing with the combination of cucumber and sweet chilli but the tofu was a bit dry. We thought the Mamak Kuay Teow Goreng was good, the flavour was there but was missing its authentic kick!
Not sure if I would make a special trip to return but would be worth checking out for those in the area.
Been a regular at Angie's kitchen for several years now and always have my fav Hainan chicken rice and also wa tan hor noodles and hits the spot most of the time which we had this time . Other fav include the mee goreng and char Kuay teow. Not the best in Auckland but it's ok once in awhile to try it out. Parking is always tricky so avoid peak times as it gets busy with students closeby the university and AUT with hostels and apartments around the area . Well worth checking out if in the area !
Nice Malaysian place hidden on Mount Street between Symonds and Wakefield street. Tasty food at fairly cheap prices so it gets quite busy during lunch. Not too many tables and they are pack in quite close so it could get quite loud when full. Really friendly service so always wanting to come back for more.
Angie's kitchen has a great atmosphere and seems to be always packed with people. The prices are typical, slightly expensive for what they give me but given their location and my desperation, its not too bad.
Be careful with what you choose because I think the chef is really good at making half the menu and the other half just tastes and feels slightly weird but besides that., its a nice place.
Always a great place for quick meal. Real south east asian food. The service is good, the food is tasty and more importantly it's cheap. Great for students.
It is an alright restaurant if you want to get a taste of Malaysian food. Very friendly staffs, highly recommended if you're in the location :)
Best malaysian in town - have been eating here since uni days. Authentic and not too salty with reasonable price
Wonderful customer service with a delightful menu. Loved the Laksa- extremely authentic although the Rendang left quite a bit to be desired.
Good Malaysian food including a range of mee goreng options and has roti canai
Used to come here as student back in 2007, i came back again today and food quality is still as good as before!
