This is my 2nd visit to this restaurant.

The service is on the poor side and the food, in my view is just above average!

I think C&R on Rupert court ( by Rupert street) is a bit better, in terms of portion and service!!

On this recent visit on Sunday, Once our plates were cleared, and I was still sipping my drink, the waitress came with the bill!! how rude is that??

I will try to persuade my friends not to patronize this place, but go to C&R instead...or go to Melati ( at Soho - altho i have yet to go. we wanted to go there, but they were shut on Sundays till some date in Sept)

Feeling hungry n bit tired - chosen Rasa...try C&R.....!!

I love Malaysian food and haven't found many places in the westend that do a good one. I walked past Rasa Sayang a few times. Time Out reviews are cellotaped to the window. Can't be that bad? Most reviews on here disagree. So a couple of weeks ago when I really wanted to try some Roti Canai, I thought I'd risk it. The place looks very basic. Cheap furniture and no atmosphere or interior design whatsoever. I didn't particularly want to stay and 'soak up the ambiance' over a meal so it had to be a take away. Staff were short and not particularly friendly or unfriendly. It didn't really bother me as 'service with a smile' is generally something unknown in Chinatown.

I didn't have to wait too long for my food. I ordered the roti canai and a chicken curry and took it home. Flavour was very good. Meat was a bit stingy for the price. Roti canai was 'okay'.

I think the food was okay. It really wasn't that bad. I might even go back some day in the future to try something else.

In the meantime - the best Malaysian food in Soho HAS to be Melati on Peter Street. Go there instead.

went for a friend's birthday party many months ago. the food is okay. not superb but okay. i dont think any of the meat was halal during my visit. Service again, quite rude, kinda reminds me of CnR few steps away. No smile. Not friendly but there must one, and only one who is nice. Asked us to leave despite ordering plenty of food for the birthday. Customers always right maa. Buck up aaa boys and girls.

I keep on going to Rasa Sayang for the food, it is the best Malaysian I've found in London, although everytime I go I have had medium to bad service. However after this weekend, I probably will not go back until I forget again how truly bad the service is.

This weekend I was there with a couple of friends at about 4:30pm on Saturday, the restaurant was emptying out post lunch. We had to wait a while for our order, which we didn't mind too much as they were cleaning up after everyone leaving, and we were just having a nice chat.

My friends had already eaten but I was hungry, so they ordered drinks and I ordered a dish and a drink. After taking our menus away, the waitress came back and told us it was a minimum of £6 per person. I could see why this would be during busy hours, but the upstairs was relatively empty and it would still be a few hours until anybody would come in for dinner. I pointed this out to the waitress and she didn't say anything, went away and came back with the menus!

We left.
