The food was fine. I enjoyed my meal, but I could definitely taste the excess oil. The Po Chicken is rather nice, something I recommend to try, whilst the Nasi Lemak is just mediocre.
Great food. Ordered the most popular meals by takeaway and wasn't disappointed also had enough left over for brekky.
Will be dining in next time. Can't wait.
The atmosphere is good and the dish is decent. Price is also reasonable. The staff members are friendly. I want to visit there and try again.
What can I say?
Dependable!
Very reasonable!
HUGE portions!
HUGE menu!
Tallies!
Hainanese chicken!
Nasi Lemak!
Roti Canai!
This was my first experience with Malaysian food, still one of the better ones!
My friends and I visit this restaurant mainly because it closes very late and has a huge variety of food. I haven’t tried much on the menu yet but the sweet and sour pork ribs with rice is so yum. Price is also affordable. Would recommend if you’re just looking for an quick and easy meal!
Had dinner at this eatery last night. Correct me if I am wrong that I have a gut feeling of a new management again since my last visit. Business was very quiet last night and there were plenty of parking spaces in the Market Square and also many unoccupied tables in this restaurant.
We ordered the “KL” stir fry ‘starch noodles’, Roti Canai Curry Chicken and a dish of Penang Lobak. It was a shock to us about the generous portions of the dishes that we ordered. Curry flavour of the chicken was good and there were three large pieces of tenderised chicken there. There were plenty of starch noodles stir-fried with shrimps, eggs and chives and the flavour was wonderful. Penang Lobak was very crispy and we both like the dips.
Overall, dining experience is decent.

Re-explored this eatery last night since the first review nearly three years. Correct me if I am wrong, I think it has changed the management since I visited last time. Service was prompt and friendly. Just ordered two dishes to share with the hot Citroen Tea. Hot drinks came very fast with average standard. The first savoury dish came to the table was the K.L. Stirred fried Starch Pearl noodles. It was quite hot with heaps of chili heat. Loved the taste and the texture of the starch noodles. Penang Prawn noodles soup was slightly under the par. Not because of the prawns or BBQ pork but due to the soup base, which was as good as the restaurant's competitor, particularly the Mama Malaya along Logan Road near Underwood. In addition, the chilli hot of this soup covered the taste of all the other ingredients. Have rooms to be improved. Having said that food production is still consistent and it is not a bad choice for a quick dinner.

When you drive in Market Square Food precinct from McCullough Street, you will see how busy this café is. A lot of people will reckon tihs cafe is one of the Hong Kong Style cafe, indeed, it is a Malaysian Street-food style cafe but adopting some Hong Kong Style cafe's specific drinks. The menu offers a lot of specific Malaysian street-food such as Dry Curry Egg Noodles, Roti Canai, "Bah Kut Teh","Char Keow Teow" "Har Mee", Nasi Goreng........ so rich and so tasty. No wonder they branch out so fast and have quite a few siblings restaurants in Brisbane.
The staff provide wonderful service and the food is absolutely fantastic. The laksa soup was the best I've ever had! I will be coming back for more of it!
Our pick of countless great restaurants at Sunnybank. Food is fresh, flavoursome and above all cheap! Always get an extra dish to take to work the following day
New Review
After having a somewhat ‘meh’ experience last time, we returned but with company who had been a few times before. I ordered the Seafood Laksa and BF ordered the Cha Kway Teow.
Both dishes eclipsed the previous ones by leaps and bounds. The laksa was abundant in fish/squid/okra and there were plenty of juicy scallops nestled in there. The broth was flavourful and the eggplant and tofu absorbed it really well. There was so much in the bowl and I found it really hard to finish it.
I’d definitely recommend going with someone that has been before. However, as the dish prices are mostly under $15 and the serving size is colossal - it’s really hard to go wrong if you’re just looking for a cheap and filling meal.
Old Review:
One of my goals in life is to go to every single restaurant at Market Square Sunnybank, so with that in mind, I decided that Malaya Corner was my next target. (Kind of funny that I have been going to Market Square for years but have never been to one of its most popular restaurants!!)
We arrived at the restaurant on a Monday night and found that most of the tables were full. We had completely underestimated MC’s popularity, so we quickly sat down at a table and proceeded to order the Sambal Fried Rice, the Singapore Noodles and the Salt & Pepper Calamari.
The food took about 15/20 minutes but it was worth the wait. We liked the fried rice but wished it had been in a smaller serving or offered as an entree style dish as the plate was massive. I’d recommend that large groups order this, but people eating as singles/couples shouldn’t order this in conjunction with lots of other dishes. Way too filling.
The Salt & Pepper Calamari was incredibly tender, but also really well seasoned and very crispy. (Note: we had forgotten to take a picture of the plate when it first arrived. The serving size is a lot bigger.)
I enjoyed the Singapore Noodles, but think they are better at Little Singapore. The dish was tasty but was a little bit too sweet, more lemon wedges would have helped break up the overall flavour.
I really liked my experience at Malaya Corner, it was quite inexpensive for 3 large dishes (and some leftovers) and they also provided complimentary tea and water. The atmosphere was extremely family friendly and the waitstaff seemed nice. I would recommend eating here but next time, I would get there between 2:30-5:30 as the menu shows a really inexpensive tea set. Enjoy 😊
Meals full of flavour and generous servings! We ordered the salt and pepper calamari, laksa and Char Kway Teow. The salt and pepper calamari was crispy, tasty and calamari cooked well. The laksa broth had a great combination of spicy/coconut cream. The char kway teow was simply delicious -one of the best I have tried. All in all we would happily return!
Such delicious food, authentic flavours with a kick, desert was very yummy , food was served promptly, staff friendly, it was rather busy for a mid morning. We will be back next time to try your other dishes, very generous portions too.
Rating on Google is not so good but my friend highly recommended to me so we went to have a try. The Hainanese chicken rice was good. The chicken was probably cooked and taste fresh and firm. The set came with Chinese long boil watercress soup. It tasted like my mother’s pot of soup. The Char Kway Teow and CharSiu mixed noodles were both good too.
Big portions and the laksa and curry is very good. Definitely worth a visit for generous feed.
Malaya Corner is one of the best Malaysian restaurants in Brisbane! This cosy local restaurant has the most delicious food. Whether you are dining or having takeaway this place is the place to go! The staff there are friendly and welcoming!
The seafood laska, hor-fun and hainan chicken rice are some of my favourite dishes.
My first visit since new management. Hainanese Chicken Rice ($14.80) tasted good. Special mention for the Super tasty bone broth cum veg soup. Ginger sauce was good but the chilli could have been better. Some dark soy could finish the look and taste of the real thing, just like in Asia. 4 star just for this. I will review again if the other dishes give the same satisfaction level. Payment by visa incur a 1% surcharge. Most businesses do not charge that.
Man! I love this restaurant! I used to dine out in this place long before COVID struck. My mother doesn't like spicy food these days, so this place would have been able to make some of the food a little less spicy. I appreciate their flexibility, and I can't wait to order takeaway again next time.
Food and service were A+ Huge portions and super tasty! Well priced.
Good portions Food freshly made. Tasty and presentation is 5 star. Price was a bit much. But enjoyable atmosphere. The sticky coconut rice is delicious. Well worth trying this place out for the first time.
