The Kopitiam Hongo — Restaurant in Tokyo

I came with friends about a week ago close to closing time. The owner was very hospitable and friendly, frequently checking up on us and we had a fun conversation. The food was great, I especially liked the Malaysian Style Udon, with their homemade chili sauce! The chili sauce was so good I added some on top of the other items I ordered such as the fried rice. I usually like Sriracha/XO sauce but I think this tops those for me. I wish we ordered more items to try; definitely the next time we come visit Tokyo. I think I should follow the owner’s advice and follow my friend’s family back to Malaysia...

The food was pretty authentic! It's not 100% the same as Malaysian food due to different ingredients, but they're nevertheless delicious.

The Bak Kut Teh took a while to arrive (about 30 minutes), but it was worth the wait.

The Nasi Lemak had a creamy chicken curry to go with the rice, which was really good.

The Curry Laksa uses a different kind of noodle (springy kind of ramen noodle) but was still delicious!

If you miss Malaysian food and want to get a taste of home in Tokyo, then this place is worth visiting.

これは、今のところ東京で食べた中で一番おいしいマレーシア料理です。 これまでに何軒ものラクサを試しましたが、どれも味が薄くて物足りませんでした。 しかし、このお店に来てからすべてが変わりました。料理はすべて店主の奥さんの手作りなんです。

食材は新鮮で、味は濃厚。本場のマレーシア料理を食べたいなら、このお店は絶対に裏切りません。 お店は地下鉄の駅からとても近く、徒歩5分で行けます。

ownerさんはとても親切で、すべて自分で作っていると誇らしげに教えてくれました。まさに本場の味です。 また、バクテー（肉骨茶）も強くおすすめします。何年も本格的なバクテーを食べられなかったのですが、今日ようやく出会うことができ、本当に感動しました。好きなスペアリブや軟骨も入っていて、とても新鮮な味わいで、毎日でも食べたいと思うほどです。

必ずまた行きます！

This is the best Malaysian food I’ve had in Tokyo so far. I’ve tried many bowls of laksa before, but most of them tasted bland. When I came to this restaurant, everything changed: everything is homemade by the lady owner herself.

The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are rich, and if you’re looking for authentic Malaysian cuisine, this place will not disappoint you. The restaurant is very close to the subway station, just a five-minute walk.

The owner is very warm and welcoming. She proudly told us that everything is made by her, with the most authentic flavors. I also highly recommend the Bak Kut Teh. It’s been many years since I last had authentic Bak Kut Teh, but today I finally tasted it again, and I was truly touched. It had my favorite pork ribs and crunchy cartilage, with such a fresh flavor that I wish I could eat it every day.

I’ll definitely come...
