Kotajaya Restaurant, Bayswater (Malaysian Cuisine) - Order online from our menu

"Beautiful food, but the rice was just 3/4 filled & the prices are higher. Do one or the other, not both please. Fried rice is exceptionally good, as is the coconut chicken.

"Miss Asian food, authentic one? This is the right place. Amazing place and cost. Very nice food and a lot of variety. Nice popiah too.

"A colleague recommended me to this place, so I thought why not give it a try... So we went there on Friday evening for the whole family, not too crowded, although they're still get busy past 7pm. Service is quick. We ordered Sambal Kangkung (Water Spinach), which we loved as we haven't had that for a while. The other dishes we ordered based on my colleague recommendation were the Golden Crisp Chicken and the house made Tofu & eggs on searing plate. The "golden" batter is the salted egg yolk batter with chicken and deep fried. We felt like we're back in Malaysia in one of our favourite place to go dinner. The kids also love it. The searing plate (hot plate) Tofu & Egg also a top favourite with our 2 kids. I can't seem to find the name of this dish in the menu - as I straight told the waiter I wanted that and she knew what it is. Will definitely be back there to try other dishes some other time...

"Ordered dimsim and duck last weekend. The advertised half duck for a little less than $20, looks more like a quarter duck. Tastes OK, same as other restos. Steamed Dimsim is disgusting! It was dripping water in the container and meat taste like sausage roll meat. Worst thing is the customer service. We ordered a takeaway to avoid crowd. We ordered 30mins via phone, and another 20mins waiting at the entrance, just to get our food paid and all. When we got in to get our food, we were gobsmacked to find that social distancing was not being followed at all. Our food sat in the reception area the whole time as we wait for the receptionist entertain the diners more. Our food was cold and unappetizing when we got home. I understand all businesses are struggling right now, thats why we want to support local businesses. But our experience was just horrible. Takeaways pay the same rate like diners, and they dont acknowledge it the same way! Beware for takeaways. be prepared to wait more time and expect that your order get less prioritized. That was the first time we tried kotajaya, and will not come back again.

"An authentic Malaysian Chinese restaurant with good food, and friendly, attentive staff. Furniture and decor is a bit dated, but this strangely adds to the authenticity of the experience. We had rice with 3 dishes which were all excellent and very reasonably priced. We also want to come back to try the Hainanese chicken rice which we hear is legendary amongst the Malaysian community in the area.
