“ We came here yesterday for late lunch and early dinner. It was not that busy when we came as it’s just after the lunch rush. Food was great! One of the best Beef Rendang I had.... I think the best so far in London. The nasigoreng was also good. Servings were good to share with 2 people. Reasonably priced for London given the location. The restaurant was clean and tidy even toilets. staff were great and accommodating. They are also happy to give recommendations. Will definitely recommend and will comeback to try other dishes! Oh and the shirts that the staff were wearing were so cool and hilarious (thank you for letting me take a photo of them-you guys were great sports ). We also liked the dessert Sago Gula it was different but yummy... great recommendation.... ”
“ As a Malaysian residing in London, I had the chance to visit Rasa Sayang, and it was a delightful experience. Despite not having a reservation, I was seated within 10 minutes, even with the restaurant being fully packed. The atmosphere perfectly blends the nostalgic charm of a classic Malaysian eatery with a touch of London’s elegance. The staff were energetic, attentive, and efficient, adding to the overall warmth of the place. The food was flavorful, instantly transporting me back home. A great spot for anyone craving genuine Malaysian flavors in the heart of London! ”
“ Be prepared to queue. Well worth queuing. I’m definitely coming back and I really can’t wait The rice alone was perfectly cooked. Loved the deep flavours from the curries and a delicate chilli heat that was perfect on such a cold evening. Hainanese chicken was cooked to perfection. All the sides and relishes even had such great flavours. The place is really busy (not surprisingly) and the food was served really quickly from ordering. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Thank you very much. ”
“ Had a delicious Malaysian meal at Rasa Sayang in London. We ordered the salted egg prawns—crispy, rich, and full of flavour. The Hainan chicken was tender and comforting, and the nasi lemak brought all the familiar tastes of home. I washed it all down with a refreshing iced Milo and Teh Tarik—perfect combo! Great service and cosy atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more. ”
“ The service was great, Even though we had to queue for 45 minutes for a table for 5, the employee (Yasin) kept updating us on the status and even got a chair for a pregnant woman in the group so she didn't have to stand. The wait was also certainly worth it, I got the Laksa Noodle soup which was perfectly flavoured. I will definitely be returning. ”
“ When you go to China it is always the luck of the draw a bit, even if the place has good rating ( we know the fake ones), but this one was legit amazing. The food was so good, I could have ordered several options. Prawn laksa and roti on the photos, word of advice is that it gets busy. I am unsure if they do reservations either, but so so good anyways. ”
“ Me and my friend we really enjoyed our dinner at Rasa Sayang. We were looking for a place where we could have a delicious meal but halal. Food was absolutely delicious. Portions are very big. Service is also very good. Waitress was very helpful in recommending to us what we could order as we have a nut allergy. It was our second visit to this place and not the last one.The experience was very good and positive. ”
“ My third time going and always a pleasure. It can be very hard to get a dinner walk in so try to reserve ahead of you can, but spots go fast. The food is absolutely delicious and a good drinks selection too. ”
