" Enjoyed my dining experience! Even though it’s a ghost kitchen, the food was exquisite. The seafood laksa was bursting with flavor, and the shrimp were fresh. I will say that the atmosphere is non-existent due to the pickup location, but if you’re focused on good food, this is the place. Highly recommended for everyone who enjoys Malaysian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a delightful surprise in NYC! I was recommended Lemak Kitchen by a friend, and I couldn’t agree more with the praises. The chicken satay was cooked to perfection with a lovely peanut sauce. The chef truly knows how to balance flavors. I also tried the sambal anchovies, which were bursting with authenticity! This is definitely a place I would return to often. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lemak Kitchen is definitely worth a visit for those craving authentic Malaysian food. The nasi lemak and beef rendang were bursting with flavor. The only downside is the location—it's a bit tucked away in an industrial area. But trust me, it's worth finding! Overall, a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I thoroughly enjoyed my meal from Lemak Kitchen! The flavors are on point with the curries being especially well-crafted. The owner is communicative and friendly, which makes placing orders enjoyable. Although the atmosphere is a bit lacking due to the warehouse setting, the food certainly steals the show here. Highly recommend for curry lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great time trying out some Malaysian dishes at Lemak Kitchen! Their curry was well-seasoned, and the portion sizes are very generous for the price you pay—definitely worth it! The only drawback might be their location. It's not a cozy eatery, but it’s all about the food here. I would recommend ordering ahead if you plan on picking up. " (*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*)
