The chef, Jai, is one of the most talented I've ever met. Authentic Malaysian food, esp Penang food, is very hard to cook. Even getting a single dish exactly right is an achievement. It is amazing that Curry Leaves Bistro has so many great dishes from my culture. It is also very cool that on special occasions, there are other less common dishes that are in the special menu. This is a mom and pop operation. We don't mind the casual atmosphere. It is more authentic because we Malaysians are warm and helpful people and we just want our good food, good friends to be around!
Really appreciate your existence. It has been great that whenever I miss home, I can just pop over to Pleasanton for a fix, even if it is an hour drive away!

Awesome authentic southeast Asian food. I've visited various places in southeast Asia over the last 20 years.
Especially appreciate the nasi lemak, and the char kway teow. Good drinks like kopi and Milo. And it's got much better ambiance than a hawker center. :)
Meat is halal.

Horrible service. Don’t make the mistake of doing sit down dinner here. You will be disappointed. Cleanliness is sub par. Folks are slow like a sloth.
