The best Malasyian Take Out in Wellington! I love Malaysian food, and these guys are heroes!

If you don’t know Malasyian food, this is the place to go and try it out. The starters menu gives you some great options to taste. And the mains are delicious and superb value. I don’t suggest you go here once. I suggest you go here until you have tried out at least half the menu.

This has to be the best malaysian restaurant in Wellington. The food are delicious and prices are more than reasonable. My all time favourite is the seafood curry laksa, must try! Portion size generous for the price. Quick and friendly service.

In short, I do not recommend this place to anyone…

At first we were greeted by a disinterested waiter with pants half hanging off and showing off his green underwear gangster style.

His attitude was worse, and he just gestured towards the table with his chin very rudely.

By the time we sat down two menus were practically thrown at the table by a waitress passing by.

The food arrived quickly I must admit but the taste wasn’t all that great and it was rather odd and had too much sauce.

The Meegoreng and Chicken Sambal had too much sweet sauce and were unlike any other Malaysian Meegoreng I have tasted…

The worst part was when a kitchen staff came to the front cashier’s stand and picked his nose for a few minutes while engaging in a conversation with the waiters…In front of all the customers and diners!!!

I love Malaysian food and I have been to many restaurants in Lower Hutt, Auckland, and Wellington and this one is most definitely the worst by far.

Largest-sized portions for the lowest price you’ll find at a Malaysian restaurant in Wellington. Probably second best taste wise too.

I’ve eaten the Mee Goreng over twenty times this year. Once I even waited 15 minutes for a table without complaining.

I wish more tables for this business.

But, what’s in that Mee Goreng? It’s divine.

I agree with Matthew B. … I’ll take the great food served fast in a simple environment anyday … and any place that you have to reserve a table to guarantee a spot for a weekday lunch must be doing it right.

Amazing food, super fast service, large quantities and super cheap. I have been going there for over a decade now and it is always amazing, so much so that we drive an hour to go there sometimes. I find it frustrating to read reviews of people claiming that it needs re-furbishment etc and complaining about things which may matter if you were paying twice the price and expect fancy surroundings over amazing food at a stupid cheap price!

You cannot beat the curried fish. Its my favourite place and for the curried fish alone they deserve five stars…always the same AND no taking out a loan to pay for it! How do you do it KK. The staff a pretty friendly for a busy take-out cheap and cheerful cafe. You get what you pay for but in this instance so much more

Excellent, service is usually good. Can be a bit patchy on busy/rainy nights when every decides to get takeaways.

The pricing is excellent, very cheap and very large takeaway portions.

Eating in is good too. Can get a table most nights, or reserve one if in larger groups.

Their Kungpo beef/chicken, chicken wings, rendang and sambal are my favourites. I go back most weeks now

Great value for money no doubt! I usually take the nasi goreng and it’s the best I’ve ever had (tried quite a few though!…). Quantity is huge (usually does me 2 meals). It’s quick, it’s authentic, it’s delicious and it’s dead cheap!
Obviously if you’re after a romantic candel light style dinner, it’s not the place, but if you’re after a good and quick meal, then indulge!

The best restaurant! Food is absolutely amazing! I recommend the Kung po chicken above anything else!!! You will regret getting anything else after a taste of that!

Great food and great prices, if I was to nitpick I guess it would be better if there was more space but I’m happy to take out when the food is this well done

Best quick and cheap Malaysian! Kung Po beef is the stand out dish. No, service isn’t a priority but I have always found staff pleasant.

In short: good food, good value, BUT service desperately needs some improvements.

KK Malaysian has an item in their menu that I cannot find the competition of after trying almost every Malaysian restaurants in Wellington, and that’s the sole reason why I kept going back there, and why I’m being way more forgiving than I should have.

When I did a phone order the person were being so rude I felt like slamming the phone, I was asked word per word: “What do you want?” and after I ordered, I just got a “Uh-huh” responses, and he kept cutting me off before I finished my order, didn’t even say “thank you”! And it has happened more than once.

When I was in the restaurant waiting for my food, one of the girls just sat someone down at the empty seat of my table WITHOUT asking. I know that it’s not uncommon in the place given their size, but at least be polite and ASK FIRST.

After several occasions like that, I’d avoid going back there anytime soon.

Went for a lunch to KK Malaysian around 1pm. Ambience was ok. The waitress was in a hurry to get the order. We ordered entree and mains. Both the waitresses (girls) were very rude and seemed not interested to work in the restaurant. We finished the entree and requested the mains. She forgot about it. Had to remind thrice and then she bought the food. By the time it was all cold.. Very bad service and wouldn’t go back again.. Not recommended place..

I have been to Malaysia and I often eat at Malaysian restaurants, but KK Malaysia is the best in Wellington. Despite the cheap prices, the food is excellent and authentic. It is much better than it’s counterparts, however you must get in quick as it is always busy. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Great value for money. The portions are large, but doesn’t compromise on flavour. Some have reviewed this place as making the ‘same old Malaysian food’, but I have eaten at a few other places around town and they aren’t as good or cheap.
The dining area is a bit cramped, but still clean and well presented. Takeaways are ready very quickly as well.
Definitely a favourite.

Delicious Malaysian food, nothing too fancy on the menu and extremely good prices for the quality you get.

I had a craving for curry laksa noodles late last week, and we headed toward Ghuznee Street. The curry laksa was fantastic, the broth was very spicy and rich, with hearty egg noodles and lots of fish cakes, fish balls and fried tofu. There was even tender dark meat chicken and half a hard boiled egg.

We started with some mussels which were average until we asked for some sambal chili paste, and then they were FANTASTIC.

We also tried the beef rendang with coconut rice and some roti. The beef rendang was cooked down well and tender, but could have been a little more complex in seasoning. The rice was perfect, and the roti was a little flaccid with a lot less ghee than we’re accustomed.

All in all, good food at good prices.

One Coke, one mussel appetizer, a curry laksa noodle soup, a beef rendang and roti bread all came out to $31. Good service and very intimate atmosphere. I peaked into the kitchen and it appeared quite clean and efficient.

You can’t beat the food for the value. I’ll surely be back.

KK Malaysian is good value but it is just like any other Malaysian restaurant around town, the food is the same old Malaysian you get most places. The service I would have to say needs a wake up, the food comes out within a good time frame and it will all depend on who is serving you if you get service with a smile. My friends and I usually get take out because the restaurant is very small and you can hardly move sometimes.

Love the laksa there and is good value

Their menu is pretty standard, but definitely affordable and well worth what you are paying for! Service is usually pretty quick, even during peak time. The food is pretty good, and whenever we order our food hot, it comes out REALLY HOT; just the way we like it! Try out the Hainanese Chicken rice with the awesome hot chili sauce. Kung Pou chicken rice, and hokkien mee are some of our favs as well. However, it gets pretty packed up on weekends, so make sure to make reservations.

KK is one of those really well respected Wellington institutions that people love to rant and rave about, but is actually pretty average. Sure, the food is decent enough – but it’s basically the same Malay food you can get at a handful of other places in the CBD at around the same price. The serice isn’t exactly good either, and the restuarant itself is too pokey and small, you feel you can’t really converse properly over dinner as you’re in too close a proximity to other diners. Not an awful restaurant, but just a little overrated, same old Malaysian. Worth a try.

This is the most delicious place I have ever eaten at in my life. I am a total addict and always get Mee Goreng! Was introduced by a friend nearly 10 years ago and have introduced a lot more! KK you are the best!!

i love this place.
very small, but comfortable. affordable, and amazing quality for what you pay, the laksa especially is delicious. fully recommend this place!

Best malaysian restaurant in Welly so far. I particularly like the Hainanese Chicken Rice and Curry Laksa. I am one of the happy customer!

KK easily beats any restaurants in Welly that carry the name ‘Satay’.

We didn’t know this restaurant as we are not local. Just hop in while on the business trip with colleagues (one of us was a Malaysian). Food was excellent and authentic, according to my Malaysian colleague. Even the restaurant was full seated, we didn’t need to wait. Very good food and it’s cheap!

A firm favourite. I eat here far too often. Everything is delish, extreme value for money and you’re eating five minutes after you’ve ordered. Brilliant.

Excellent food and value, been going there since they open. Best in Wellington

Cheap and cheerful, large portions. I had the spring rolls as starter and sweet and sour chicken and a roti. It was great but too much food. Would recommend.

This is our frequent dining place. the food awesome. very authentic malaysian/chinese food. having lived in malaysia for many years this place is great. their nasi lemak, hainanese chicken rice, fried noodles, kong po chicken – delicious! if u like m’sian food u will love this place. =)

Outstanding. Bloody awesome food and cheap too. This is my favourite restraunt in Wellington.
Totally recommend the seafood laska,
Fast takeaways too.

Great authentic Malay food. Friendly staff. Great menu choice.
Hard to beat.
