Finally made it here for lunch which had been on my to-do list and had a great meal! Started with the pork buns. They were so adorable and a great app. Moved on to the mee goreng with chicken and shrimp. I’m not sure if I’ve ever had Malaysian and it reminded me of pad Thai. It was great! The place is also very cute, appeared immaculately clean, and staff was adorable and very sweet. Also, major points for being attentive to my water consumption when housing such spicy food. I’ll be back!

We have been here many times already and thought time for a review. My favorite dish is Curry Laksa — amazing flavor with lots of ingredients. The other curry dishes were also delicious, so far no disappointment. Staffs are friendly and attentive. A great addition to the neighborhood.

Perfect Curry Laksa! Roti is phenomenal. I haven’t tried anything else because this winning formula makes me happy every time I am there

I guess I didn’t understand the hype/generally superlative ratings. It was pretty solid Malaysian food, but definitely not earth shattering in any way. The satay tofu was relatively flavorless — there also wasn’t enough peanut sauce in the way they served the dish. The rendang rice/curry dish was a relatively small portion, and unfortunately, when selecting the veggie meat option, resulted in no vegetables at all(not even the side salad that others seem to have gotten). I’m surprised there wasn’t a way to combine the vegetables and the veggie meat. Service was just ok.

More of 3.5 stars for a solid restaurant with some higher than expected pricing. Came into Al Seabu on a Saturday night with the place not so packed, aside from us there was another two tables with customers. Ordered the BKT soup, some Roti and Char Kuay Teow and Beef Rendang, basically the Malay staples. The soup was surprisingly bland and disappointing for its price of $ 7.00 for a cup. The roti was fresh and cooked well and has substance instead of the airy thin roti other Malaysian places have. The Char Kuay Teow was bland with the flavoring uninspiring while the beef rendang lacked punch but cooked very tender. All in a, a solid place but overpriced for what it is, good service and with the free check in desert makes the price slightly more palatable.

Ambiance was cozy and inviting. I loved the blue and brick walls. Perfect setting for groups and dates. Prices are very reasonable and great portions! We ordered their red curry with chicken as well as the flat«Char Kuay Teow» noodles. It wasn’t as spicy as I hoped it would be, and it ended up being a little too oily for my taste. The red curry was very good, but it didn’t have the spicy kick we were hoping for. They only had house wines by the glass which was alright, only because their red ended up being really good. Service was attentive and pleasant which is always much appreciated.

The restaurant turned out to be really great. My girlfriend and me tried: (1) fried noodles with seafood (2) an omelette with oysters as an appetizer (3) curry soymeat with rice (4) mango pudding 1 — very tasty and extremely huge portion 2 — little fishy for my taste, but really good 3 — those who like this type of dishes will appreciate it; 4 — omg, just wonderful. No, really. I mean it. It was sooo good. Rose tea — nothing special, but I like it. The waiter was extremely polite and nice. I would say that it’s 100% 5 out of five for this level of restaurant. You might probably not find any discoveries here, but food is really, really good.

Came here for a late dinner after painting. I ordered Nasi Lemak, the Malaysian national dish, to eat and a Rose Lemonade to drink. The Nasi Lemak was separated into separate parts. It was interesting to taste each part individually before mixing them together to combine the flavors. I liked the combination of flavors as each component could still be tasted and complimented the others. The spice level was comfortable — between medium and mild, but you can request to add more spice if desired. The lemonade was refreshing. The rose was not overpowering and went well with the lemonade. I liked the presentation of small edible roses on top of a lemon slice on top of the drink. Be sure to use the Unilocal check-in offer to get the free mango pudding dessert. It was a nice treat at the end of the meal as it was light and not too sweet. Service was good. Will be back if I’m in the area again.

An awesome addition to the neighborhood, truly. Get the laksa or anything else you won’t be disappointed. The service, ambience and cuisine are worth every bit of 5 stars. Had to post a quick review as I’ve been a few times and it’s been a pretty sparse crowd. It’s shocking because it’s really the best restaurant within 10 blocks IMO. Brought some foodie-traveling-writing about food and drink folk last weekend and they were equally impressed. Do yourself a favor and pop on over. Bön appetit!

I walked in here with slight trepidation as I’ve been to one too many restaurants which claim to make authentic food only to be sorely disappointed . But one bite of their satay nearly brought tears of joy to my eyes. The peanut sauce which comes with the satay is as the menu states: homemade and truly truly excellent. The nasi lemak was also enjoyable(though I secretly wished it came with fried crispy chicken wings) . I will definitely be back to try the other delicious offerings! Finally !!! Great Malaysian food in nyc.

Malaysian food in NYC is hard to come by, especially GOOD Malaysian. We had lunch here the other day and the food, value & service were great! Good happy hour — free roti & $ 3 beers. This place is a few blocks from home & will be the new ‘go-to’ restaurant for sure.

Everything was delicious and flavorful. The curry prawns were amazing! I highly recommend them! And the laksa had great flavor without being too spicy. The service was attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back!

This is by far one of the best Malaysian restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan. It is more pricey than others, but quality of food is worth the try. The menu has a good selection seafood, authentic Noodle dishes, and curry. I also enjoyed the cozy setting, service is excellent, I’ll definitely come back.

Very nice spot in PS. The restaurant is clean and staff is courteous. The food overall is good, nothing stood out for me personally. I was pretty bummed they don’t have hainanese chicken rice… Which to me is pretty standard for Malaysian cuisine.

Came to this South Slope Malaysian restaurant for lunch and greatly enjoyed the food here. Started off with roti which came hot, soft and flakey accompanied by a curry sauce that packed nice heat. Ordered the Malaysian red curry which was flavorful and just hot enough. The Malay noodles with shrimp, crab, squid and scallop was tasty as well. Finished off with a lite mango pudding. Service was very good and the lunch special prices are very reasonable. I will certainly come back.

A great new spot in Park Slope! While I’m a bit of newbie to the Malaysian cuisine, I enjoyed my dish–(Seafood Wattan Hor). The dish was flavorful and came with an impressive amount of fresh seafood(scallops, shrimp, squid). Unilocal check-in meant a free dessert(Homemade Mango Pudding), a sweet treat to end the meal. Service here was friendly/attentive, and the atmosphere was very nice. The menu had a lot of appetizing choices; I can’t wait to go back and try the other items.

Pretty good Malaysian fusion. A very nice welcome to the Park Slope community of 5th Ave restaurants, they served up some good Nasi Lemak and Chow Kiew Tiew. Glass was never empty, and the tiny gesture of giving us some simple shrimp chips was nice. Very casual and would definitely dine here again.

Al Seabu is a new Malaysian restaurant in Park Slope that has a lot of potential and already has a lot of good things going for it. It seems authentic, and it would probably benefit from taking«fusion» out of its branding considering that people crave authenticity over fusion restaurants these days. We had the fish & shrimp cakes, which I liked a lot(although they were probably not too healthy), the nasi lemak, and the penang asam laksa. All seemed to be cooked with care. We also had the rose lemonade which was really interesting and not too sweet. The space is warm, with wood paneling, and this place would certainly do great as a casual date spot once the cocktails get going. The staff were all really nice and attentive too. They said they will be starting seamless soon, but in the meantime you can call and get delivery. I am glad Al Seabu is in the neighborhood, and I will certainly be back. PS – you currently get a free dessert for checking in on Unilocal
