Top Malaysian Restaurant in Pleasanton
Curry Leaves Bistro
6003 W Las Positas Blvd, Pleasanton, CA 94588, United States
A Penang style Malaysian restaurant. They provide standard menu and daily specials. I have only been here once so I cannot give complete judgement. I did order three items hok kein mee, mee goreng and nasi lemak with chicken randang. The mee goreng was the best dish out of all them .the hok kein mee was ok. I would give it 3/5. The mee goreng 3.5/5. The chicken randang with the rice and sambal would give a 3.5/5. I feel the chicken randang the gravy could have been reduced more give it a thicker base. Flavor wise it was on the milder side when it comes to aromatics. Put more dishes and aromatics in the base. The owners are very sweet and kind. I did feel like I was in a street side restaurant in Malaysia when I walked in. I think this place needs to be a bit more bold in terms of flavor. The recipes are authentic but they can amplify the same flavors more with a bit more aromatics and herbs. For example the mee goreng use garlic chives instead of spring onions. Garlic chives are more traditional. Satay was not on the menu. I think that should be standard in any Malaysian restaurant as a starter. I think as a weekly special introduce some malaysian fish beef curry or ikkan bakar or crab pepper. I know the owners are Malaysian and they can definitely be a bit more adventurous and bring their soul into their food and set a unique brand for themselves. There was nothing on the menu that stood out to me from other Malaysian restaurants in the bay area. That is why I ask you to use local California sea food and introduce Malaysian style sea food dishes. This place has potential to do much better and I think they can with a bit of risk.

First of all, the menu photo is out of date. The price of rendang beef is $15.00, not $13.00.Though the food is DELISH, its getting a bit TOO expensive for myself. I had the Beef Rendang and 2 extra apalam (chips). Just the apalam was $1.50. I could buy the uncooked chips at the local 99 Ranch market for $10 and get about $100 worth of chips. However, the Rendang is somewhat worth the price ($15.00) but for $15.00l, I would think the portion would be larger. Ill come by here again, IF I get the craving for rendang like my mom made when I was young. I almost ordered the iced dessert but I found out that they also increased the price. My lunch....LUNCH...would have cost me $30.00. I expect $30.00 for two people not one person. I decided to get only my lunch and went next door to Nations for some milkshake.Price: B (for the portion you get)Quality: A++Service: A

Basil Delight

Good but not great. This restaurant is more Thai than it is Malaysian. The curry noodle tasted like the yellow Thai curry, rather than the authentic Malaysian curry noodle. The char kueh teow was good. The appetizer spring roll was peppery and the skin was on the thick side, so although we ordered it for my little one, she only ate half of one spring roll. We may not be back. For Malaysian, i’d rather go to Banana Garden. And for Thai, i’d rather go to Thai Basil Express by Koi Palace.
