For Indonesian and Malaysian food, i had to give this place 5 stars having been to Ipoh 's best restaurants for 2 weeks. The chefs here are Malaysians and they were helpful and accommodating though they were very busy. The food was served fast and accurate. Both dishes I ordered were super authentic and delicious. It was such a gem and I was glad that I " found" it and insisted on trying it in Cork ( because there are so many others claiming the same).

Delicious tofu black bean dish, I'm glad I came here! Thaks for doing a vegan menu 💚 Casual sit-in area facing the [bars on the] window, which makes for a good people-watching spot

If you like Asian food, you must come here to try the Singapore fried rice noodles and the eel pasta. The quick stir-fry flavor is impressive.

Probably the best restaurant we had in Ireland. Food was fire. Owner was so kind. Wish we were here longer so we could eat here again

Small hole in the wall restaurant. The food was good, but a bit sweet, and rather it have a bit more heat than sweetness. Overall was good and a nice break from the standard Irish pub food. Seating is very limited.

Tucked away in Cork City, Malay Kitchen delivers bold, authentic flavours with a warm welcome to match. The Nasi and Mee Goreng were standouts — rich in spice, cooked to order, and packed with that unmistakable wok hei. Portions were generous, and prices felt more than reasonable for the quality. Service was a real highlight: friendly, attentive, and genuinely inviting.
Just a heads-up for dine-in — seating is minimal, with bar-style stools and space for only six, so it’s more of a quick bite than a long sit-down. The only slight letdown was the Mee Goreng sauce, which was a bit heavy and made the noodles softer than expected. Still, a great spot that punches well above its size, and we’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.
