Our take: Yes!

Nasi Kukus offers a straightforward approach to Malay cuisine, with a focus on their steamed rice and various protein options.

The Fried Chicken Thigh with steamed rice appears to be a popular choice, with some reviewers praising its tenderness and crispy skin.

However, there's a split on seasoning, with some finding the chicken bland while others enjoy the accompanying tangy sambal and savoury curry.

The $5 set with a large chicken drumstick is highlighted as good value.

The steamed rice itself draws mixed opinions, described as both 'as expected' and 'too soft & mushy' by different diners.

The mutton curry receives positive remarks, with one reviewer calling it 'Wow'.

We think it's a decent option for a quick, affordable meal, especially if you're in the area.

Best to avoid the lunch rush to skip potential queues.

While some elements like the chicken seasoning might be inconsistent, the overall value proposition is strong.

What customers say

Yes!

Nasi Kukus generally receives positive feedback for its tender fried chicken, particularly the breast and thigh options, and the flavorful mutton curry.

Customers appreciate the value for money, especially the $5 set.

However, some find the steamed rice too mushy and the chicken seasoning bland, with the curry gravy lacking fragrance or spiciness for some palates.

Waiting times can be an issue during lunch hours.
