Belacan Grill - Malaysian Bistro

Despite the glowing reviews, my experience at Belacan Malaysian Grill was a letdown. We ordered the Crab Rangoon and the $20 Tangerine Peel Chicken, but neither dish impressed us; the flavors were mediocre and certainly didn’t justify the price tag. It was particularly frustrating that a $20 entree doesn't even include rice, forcing us to order the coconut rice as a separate add-on. While the ambiance is decent and the ample free parking is a convenient plus, the service was lackluster and didn't make us feel particularly welcome. Between the underwhelming food and the poor value for the money, I won’t be heading back anytime soon. Purely my experience.

When we enters we were prompted to enter our names at the kiosk. Not exactly wanting to give Yelp any more of our info. We did wait 10 min and were seated and served right away. We had several dishes, some where authentic, some seem modified to suit there recipe verses traditional taste. The sauces were the same some were traditional and some seemed modified. So if you are looking for very authentic, I would say maybe they changed things based upon a region or family recipe.

Wanted to visit this place for a long time, and finally was able to, as I happened to visit another place nearby. Got there around 12pm. Waited for about 10 -15 minutes to be seated, even though there were empty tables. Food is good, but not at the "excellent" level. Staff are very friendly, albeit busy.

Big restaurant with many servers. Food very tasty and portion is reasonable. Pricing is on a pricier side though. Would recommend Roti, Hai-nan rice, and chicken satay.

Some of the food we ordered were good and some were not, the overall experience we had was to the best but missed some flavors of experience that we used to have all these years . On other side prices being bit expensive now

I'm from out of town, but will make sure I can have dinner here at least once while I'm in SoCal. Dont skip on the chicken satay 🤩. Today's curry lamb is peak flavor. Really yum.

Food was average, not authentic. Ordered salted fish fried rice, the chicken and shrimp were plain. Char keow teow tasted so so. If you’re Malaysian missing home food, I’d not recommend.
