Reviews Angie's

We are always looking for a good Malaysian restaurant, so we had to try Angie’s. We ordered the roti, hainan chicken rice, and the laksa. The chicken rice was delicious. The chicken was tender and the rice was excellent. The broth of the laksa isn’t as thick as other places, which we liked as it didn’t feel as heavy when we ate it. We would recommend and would come back!

A little while ago, my best friend suggested we go to Angie’s Malaysian Eatery for dinner. She had been there previously for lunch, but had not come for dinner. Good Malaysian food is hard to come by here in Vancouver, so I was open to checking out a place I haven’t been to before. Angie’s Malaysian Eatery is family owned and located in Burnaby. The space is on the smaller side with less than 10 tables. The eatery features photos of each of their dishes, which makes it easy for anyone to walk in and figure out what to order.

Small menu and portion is also on the smaller side. The Mee Goreng is not available at lunch. I tried both the laksa and Hainan chicken with rice. Chicken was served at the right temperature and very tender. The laksa was flavourful but not too rich. However, the curry chicken with rice was quite dry according to my coworker.

Angie's Malaysian Eatery serves home style food, so do not expect extremely rich and heavy sauces. Of course with the exception of the K.K Buttermilk Tiger Prawns, which I would grab for take out if I was in the area. The food overall at Angie's is mostly above average, not heavy seasoned and the portions are reasonable for the price. Moreover, the presentation is fairly nice and you can tell the chef puts effort in the execution of food.

I'm a big believer in the idea that every restaurant does something good and something bad. And if you happen to order a dud, you shouldn't necessarily condemn the whole restaurant.Angie's Malaysian Eatery really exemplifies this. We went tonight and fortunately I had researched online on Yelp and knew to order the K.K. Buttermilk Tiger Prawns. The other stuff my friends ordered were duds. Cheap duds at around $8.95, but still duds.

Looking at the exterior and interior of this Malaysian restaurant, it is not fancy at all. The tables, chairs, photos on the walls and menus are quite organized though. They put the menus on a big wall that customers can see them right away once they walk into the restaurant. They have a 2-page menu book, printed individual food pictures that customers can hold onto each picture to see each dish with its proper name, and printed food pictures with photo frames on the walls.

One of the waitresses (probably the owner) can speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English to the customers. She was very polite to the customers giving out tea or water, trying to explain what ingredients each dish got, and checking on customers' needs.

The food that I ordered was great! The portion was small comparing to some western and Chinese restaurants. The portion looked like the ones that I had in Malaysia and Singapore. Prices were acceptable and reasonable.

It is great that there is street parking near the restaurant. I would definitely go back and try other dishes.

What a tasty and delightful lunch!!

We (our threesome, senior couple and daughter) arrived just before the restaurant opened its doors at 11am, so were their first customers of the day - perfect for us, we were anxious, ready, and willing to give Angie's a try!!  Mugs of hot tea, water, and menus were quickly brought to our table.  And when the server returned to take our order, she brought pictures of the lunch menu items, allowing us to visualize the dishes, in addition to reading the verbal descriptions in the menu - a nice, and very helpful touch!!

The restaurant has seven tables:  three round, larger tables near the wall on one side (each seating six or more customers), and four rectangular, smaller tables against the wall on the other side (each seating four customers).  The restaurant was simply decorated, clean, and neat.  At the very front, there was a large blackboard listing the menu items and costs - along with pictures of same on one wall and the counter.  

What we ordered:  and 'note', all dishes ordered during lunch (which = 11am - 3pm), must be ordered from the lunch menu - dinner items are not available for lunch.  

-  tea (unlimited, no extra charge).
-  appetizer:  chicken wings (with sliced cucumber, and dipping sauce). 
-  entrees:  seria kolomee (pork - sliced and ground, with sliced fish cake, greens, and vermicelli noodles, and meant to be tossed with the sauce underneath, plus, a small, side dish of sliced jalapenos) -- haimen chicken (cold, marinated chicken, sliced, on lettuce leaf, with cucumber, serving of coconut rice, and side dish of a spicy sauce) -- mee gorang (spicy, fried vermicelli noodles, with small pieces of meats and veggies).

The server had told us the three entrees dishes should be just fine for the three of us, and she was 'on-the-mark'.  But the wing's appetizer didn't take anything way from them, and the sauce provided for the wings was just so good, glad we didn't miss tasting it!!  Wow, everything was so tasty!!  We opted for 'mild', when asked re: spice level, and that worked well for us.  The preparations and side dish sauces were already quite 'hot' - but I would say, just 'perfect' for our tastes - providing enough heat with the flavours, for us to savour and enjoy, and not interfere.  Everything was so well-prepared - in textures, aromas, and flavours - and the presentations offering such visual delights.  

Here's to Angie's Malaysian Eatery for what was a much-enjoyed lunch experience!!  Our good wishes to the owners -- and to 'Angie', their one-year old daughter -- what a fine, little restaurant you have on the go here in Burnaby.  We hope to return soon - have to try some of those dinner offerings the next time!!

Our first time at Angie's was fantastic. At first we were disappointed that Wu's was gone, but this is a worthy successor.
The menu is small, but this is a blessing because you'll want to try everything on it! The prawns are a must have! They're still working out some of the operational kinks of running a restaurant, but our order was accurate and everyone was super friendly.

A small quaint restaurant. You might even miss it if you're driving. I like the fusion styled Brunei/Malaysian food being presented. The restaurant is quite small and popular in the neighbourhood so give them a call before you head out just so you're not left to wait. Service is slow for now but they admitted to that since it's relatively new to the hood. I'm sure it'll improve as time goes on. The menu is quite limited, for now. I recommend the Hainan chicken rice and their signature dish, the dried lo-mien. Portion size is good.

Angie’s is a new Malaysian/Singaporean/Bruneian restaurant that just opened up in Burnaby. As they’re still working through their soft opening, the menu is still limited at this point while they try to work out all of the kinks.
I can’t think of many Bruneian restaurants around the Lower Mainland, but I understand that it shares a lot of similarities with nearby Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine.
