I've walked by this restaurant many times and finally decided to give it a try.

I called ahead to ask about the lunch specials and placed an order for pick up.

For $8.50 I ordered the Nasi Jambori. On the phone I was told by the lady it was a dish of beef rendang, chicken curry, prawn sambal and egg.
I also got an order for some Roti.

Upon pick up, the guy who I believe was the owner greeted me promptly with a big smile, my order waiting. He added some mint chocolates which was a nice touch.

I got home, ready to dig in!
Now, I'm unsure if the prawns go missing when the Nasi Jambori is served at lunch but they weren't there! Disappointing because I was told over the phone it was indeed included in the meal.
The beef was delicious and extremely tender with an interesting hint of sweetness.
The chicken curry was ok but the chicken itself was overcooked and very dry.
The food was spicy with the dollop of hot sauce on the side. I liked that.
I'm not used to the type of roti I tasted. I'm only familiar with the roti of the east and west indies. This was an interesting take..light and flakey, a nice side.

Overall, I would likely try Jonker Street again for the beef rendang and hope that the chicken satay is more tender than the curry. Although...I'd personally return mainly for the location. I've heard from friends (some Malaysian) that I should make my way to Banana Leaf for Malaysian cuisine.

Based on the reviews given, we were curious to sample the food at Jonkers.
Being a 'peranakan' and foodie, we were pleasantly surprised that the quality of food at this outlet surpassed that one could find in Singapore or Malaysia particularly, the prawn noodles, roti canai and the chilli crab.Therefore, I would strongly recommend anyone who wishes to relish authetic Malaysian food.

Restaurant is small and affords the staff and owner were very friendly and helpful.

Went to Jonker Street with a couple of friends from Malaysian Club in UBC. Tried some vege noodles and it was authentic and nice. The service was superb. Greeted by the owner warmly and we had a little talk. Overall, it's a nice restaurant

Having been to Malacca (home of the REAL Jonker Street) I was curious as to how the cuisine of this new Vancouver restaurant stacks up against the ORIGINAL. I have tried all the appetizers and found them to be satisfactory Malay taste. Of the soups, the Nonya Laksa is by far the most excellent! I will mark this as "my Laksa restaurant".

Of the main course meat and seafood dishes I have tried, I thought the prawn sambal and beef rendang are excellent. There is hardly any better beef rendang in Vancouver. Since I have been disappointed by too many Malaysian restaurants here, I will also mark this place as "my beef rendang restaurant."

Saving the best for last, try the bah kut teh served every 3rd week (check with restaurant). It is worth cutting work early to try - trust me.

Overall, the place is immaculate clean and the staff, especially the owner, give a good vibration. The place is actually a little piece of the original Jonker Street right here in our town...

After reading about Jonker Street in the Georgia Straight a couple of months ago, I had to stop in and give it a try.

Ordered the char kway teow and the chicken satay. The satay was quite good, but I was disappointed with the char kway teow. The prawns seemed overcooked, although the flavors seemed to be about right.

The server was prompt and courteous. Room is small but nice with lots of deep red, brown and black.

We've been there 3 times now. Each time was good, but for some reason never felt stunning.
Place is standard Yaletown modern-type decor, don't expect a "Malaysian style" theme.

Service has always been decent and friendly, nothing much to say about it.

The food...hmmm...not sure why but there's not much to complain about, but no spark either. Always felt a little "heavy" afterwards so perhaps they use a lot of lard (trans-fat?;-) in their cooking.
The biggest disappointment is that they are always serving single-combo servings, which is very unusual for Asian places. Not a great place for sharing. The second disappointment is that there is nothing really "special" on the menu and it's not that varied either.

If you have a craving, and there's only 1 or 2 of you, then you might want to hit this place. Otherwise, i think we'd prefer to walk a few blocks and eat at Prima Taste instead.
