Nasi Lemak with prawn sambal 6/10I heard amazing things about this place but perhaps it’s just not flavours I’m used to liking. The prawn was very spicy, the anchovy was very salty and rice just slightly hard. This is my first nasi lemak so I don’t have the right to judge if this is good or not. Just not flavours I’m a big fan of. But I’m definitely going back to try their roti. As I was waiting for my dish I saw a few ordering them and it looked super fluffy and keen for the sweet tower shapoed roti with sweetened condensed milk
Oh my lord. Uncle Man is a legend. There is no cuisine that beats Malaysian, and goodness, this is the best Malaysian food Auckland has to offer.One bite of their Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang and you’ll be in heaven. Succulent, tender beef cooked for hours until the coconut milk has reduced to a rich, oily, aromatic paste. Spicy, intensely savoury sambal ikan bilis to coat your mouth in pure deliciousness.One spoonful of their decadent, flavourful seafood curry laksa, with perfectly cooked noodles, seafood, everything. Kicks the back of your throat, but holy guacamole you can’t get better than this.And all for the lowest price you’ll find anywhere.Uncle Man’s takes top restaurant in Auckland. No argument.
Usually get the usual nasi lemak but was feeling adventurous today and got the biryani with lamb – what a good choice. The lamb shank is very generous in size and tastes so good. Got cheese roti which was a nice change. The satay and teh ice which were alright.
Uncle Man’s is a great casual lunch option for those working nearby. Menu has good range with a variety of spice levels, so theres something for everyone. I also like that they have daily specials running from Monday to Thursday and they offer a loyalty card too.The nasi lemak was filling for $11.50 (when its the daily special). Pretty classic with a balanced proportion of ingredients. The curry wasnt too spicy and the sambal wasnt overpowering either. Their fried kuay teow was also amazing: flavourful, good portion for $13, and even came with prawns.On my most recent visit, my wat tan hor was nice but a little too salty for my liking. My friend enjoyed her lamb biryani which was massive and came with a decent looking salad. For a shop on K Road, they have a surprising amount of space. Its fairly busy at 1pm (which means they dont clear the tables quickly and it looks a bit messy), but there always seems to be enough seats. I noticed that the service was quite fast at 1:30pm.Overall verdict: filling, tasty, and good value. Ive been here 3 times and am always happy to come back! Keep up the good work!
Authentic Malaysian food alert!!Portions are generous and full of flavour. Definitely recommended.The only thing I didnt like was the deep fried potato thing. Thats probably just a matter of preference.
Really nice Malaysian food with lots of seating! Came at 7pm on Valentine’s Day, ordered, got our meal in less than 10 mins, so quick!!! Bought the lamb skewers, nasi goreng, curly fries, fried banana with chocolate sauce and chicken rice. Really good portion with the mains. The chicken was tasty and succulent, the fried bananas went well with the vanilla ice cream, the nasi goreng was surprisingly well flavored with a chili kick and the lamb skewers had a nice peanut taste. Would love to come back and try the roti dishes and the chicken curry laksa!
Came here with a group of 4 of us. The service was great and the food came out pretty fast. Food tasted authentic and the overall ambiance of the restaurant was nice. Pricing was reasonable as well and we left pretty full.
