  I heard and read a lot of good recommendations about this restaurant. With high expectations and excitements, my friends from New Zealand and I went to this restaurant to try out their famous kajang satay.When we arrived there, the restaurant was empty with no other customer at all except us.We ordered chicken and beef satay and fresh coconut water. To our utmost disappointment, the satay tasted below average, the peanut sauce was not good too. The tastes of their satay and peanut sauce were just not right, probably something went wrong with the marination of the meat and the combination of the ingredients of the peanut sauce on that particular day.The worst was the so-called fresh coconut water. The coconut water in the coconut shell tasted like drinking water, there was neither coconut taste nor any sweetness at all. My friend asked me if they diluted the coconut water with drinking water or they just poured drinking water into the coconut shell and then served on us.The staff appeared to be rather slacking and were not in the right mood to provide their services. Their kitchen did not appear to be clean from the outlook.Food & Beverage : 2/10Service : 3/10Price : 5/10Ambience : 5/10

  The service here was hardly good before. After their recent renovation of the place, I was hoping the service will get better but no!! I was there yesterday to take-away some beef satay.1. Got there about 4:40pm. Had to wait 30 minutes before I could even place an order. The order taker/cashier doubles up as a maker/server for drinks.2. By the time I place my order, it was already 5:10pm – ordered 20 sticks of the beef satay to take-away.3. I received my order about 5:35pm – so the whole process took almost an hour! For a take-away!4. I asked for their sambal chilli and was told that it’s already in the peanut sauce.5. When I got home and opened up the package, it turned out to be chicken, even though the note attached to it said beef!! And there was no chilli sambal anywhere to be seen!They seemed to be short-handed and the staff that were there seemed to be untrained. It’s too bad really, I’ve always like the satay, but the level of service has gotten so bad that I’m not sure I would want to go there again.

  We ate satay for lunch at Restaurant Satay Kajang Hj. Samuri At Uptown Damansara. It was an awesome lunch. The satay was awesome. I am awesome. I am satay. OMG THE SATAY IS SO GOOD YOU GUYS. I’ve been getting Satay Kajang Hj. Samuri at the Putrajaya branch and it’s been getting tougher and tougher and less and less yummy. So I wasn’t expecting much, especially since it’s a chain restaurant. But it was so freakin good.

  Really tasty satay! I enjoy fish, lamb and beef satay. One satay stick is almost Rm1. The lamb stick is really expensive. The sauce has been watered down and diluted as compared to last year. The sambal makes the sauce spicier and tastier. Coconut is very young so there’s no flesh but a lot of coconut water. Very refreshingThey give so little cucumber! It’s extra 60 cents to add. It’s ridiculous.

  Satay is dinner fare at the hawker centres, but if you crave satay for lunch, head to one of the many outlets of Sate Kajang Haji Samuri. This branch was the closest to where we were staying, and gets really busy at lunch. In addition to the traditional chicken and beef, Haji Samuri’s menu also includes perut (beef tripe), hati and pedal (chicken liver and gizzards), ikan (fish), kambing (mutton) and arnab (rabbit). The meat at Haji Samuri is chunkier and leaner compared to most satay vendors. The marinade flavour is excellent which is impressive for a large commercial satay chain. Haji Samuri’s peanut sauce comes with sambal on the side, so you can adjust the heat level of your little bowl of peanut sauce. There are free sauce top-ups which is great for a liberal dunker like me.The chicken was my favourite, right amount of bite with the luscious grilled flavours. The fish, however, was too soft, and broke apart when I dipped it into the peanut sauce. I found the beef on the chewy side. The tripe is delicious, and so was the rabbit. Actually, apart from being a bit chewier than the chicken, I couldn’t discern a difference. We also had the nasi impit (compressed rice) and ketupat (rice cake cooked in palm leaves), the rice squares are a must to complement the meat.Haji Samuri is always packed, and there are queues of people waiting on takeaways. It’s a slick operation, but go early as some of the specials and ketupat sells out. We also had their ais kacang (shaved ice dessert), which surprisingly comes with a scoop of ice-cream.
