" Mouthwatering Malaysian food! I had never tried this cuisine before, but I am now hooked. The flavors are bold, and the dishes are prepared with love. I ordered the seafood curry laksa and nasi lemak, and they were both fantastic. The only complaint I have is a slight delay with my order during peak hours, but the staff was apologetic about it. Overall, I can't wait to spread the word about this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little ghost kitchen has a lot to offer! We tried multiple dishes, and everything was on point. The chicken satay was probably the best I’ve had in NYC—juicy and paired excellently with the peanut sauce. Don’t let the strange location deter you; the quality of the food is what matters most, and they deliver favorably! Based on my experience, this will become one of my regular spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" An interesting find! This kitchen doesn’t feel like a typical restaurant. It's more like a pickup spot in a warehouse, which felt strange at first. Nevertheless, the chicken curry was phenomenal! It was rich and flavorful, complemented by fresh roti. I can safely say that I’ll return for more once I get the craving again. Make sure to call ahead to avoid any mix-ups. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Lemak Kitchen is genuinely noteworthy. I had the roti canai and lamb curry combo, and it was heavenly. The service was attentive, and the owner is a wealth of knowledge about the dishes. However, it's worth noting that this place requires some navigating as it’s not upfront in your face. An adventure worth taking, I must say! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful introduction to Malaysian cuisine! I was impressed by the flavors and authenticity of the dishes. The chicken curry was my favorite, followed closely by the roti canai. The location could be better, as it’s somewhat hidden inside an industrial area. However, the food certainly makes up for it, and I will be back to try more items! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is top-notch! I tried the nasi lemak and the flavors are authentic and comforting. However, it is hard to find and not a place where you can try; you have to order for takeout. Despite the lack of atmosphere, the good food makes up for it. I will surely keep coming back for my Malaysian cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall a pleasant experience with great flavors. I ordered the chicken curry and roti, both of which were incredibly aromatic and rich. The only downside would be the unusual setting of the ghost kitchen—it's not very welcoming. But I’d say the food is well worth it! Definitely going to order again. " (*Curated Review*)
