Belacan Grill - Tustin

We started with chicken satay, which was a tad disappointing since they don't offer lamb satay (not sure why). We also tried the Roti Canai, which was reminiscent of a beef quesadilla served with curry sauce. The seafood curry in the clay pot was excellent but was oddly served in a metal pan. Next, we ordered Daging Kecap Manis, a spicy-sweet beef dish, along with the enormous Cantonese Golden Noodle, which could easily have fed two people. Overall, the food was outstanding, and the service was attentive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We had a lovely meal here on July 18th with two friends!

Now, onto the food. We began with 20 satay sticks, a mix of lamb and chicken. They appeared to be fried rather than traditionally grilled, which added a unique and appealing flavor. The dipping sauce featured peanuts but was much less overpowering than typical Thai versions. We also tried Roti Canai, a delicious grilled flatbread served with curry. We shared several main dishes, with highlights including the fiery Sambal Tumis Shrimp and crispy okra, which was cooked to perfection—this is how okra should be enjoyed! The asparagus tofu, black pepper beef, and ginger chicken were all fantastic. We ordered two seafood noodle dishes and two rice dishes—the house special fried rice and vegetable fried rice, both topped with a fried egg. Every dish was well-prepared and flavorful. Dessert at Asian restaurants can often be a bit unusual, and this place was no exception. On a safer note, they offered fried bananas with coconut ice cream and bread pudding, both of which are easy for Western palates to enjoy. However, some authentic Malaysian desserts can be quite adventurous, like the shaved ice with aiyu jelly, corn, red beans, and cane syrup—it’s a unique combination of flavors that can be confusing, switching between sweet and savory notes. Overall, we had a fantastic evening and would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique dining experience!

Must try. Six of us had a family dinner. The Roti and Curry. Amazing court. We shared two, had three. The lemon grass soup was fabulous and full of shrimp, chicken, tofu vegetables and herbs. We pulled it off a bit, but the whole bowl is done. A bowl gives a generous part for four. The Nasi Lemak, coconut rice, was just an interesting mixture of different flavors. We all blended and it was beautiful. Don't miss the walnut shrimp. These rivals of any Chinese restaurant where I had this classic dish. I would have loved some walnuts. Last but not least choose to share a dessert. They'll be stuffed by him, it's worth it. We shared one and a drawn tea. Great flavors. There were more dishes, but these dishes were exceptional. We already organize a return trip with more people, so we have more to share. One of us eats no spicy food, so that it was a little challenge. We had the room with a lazy Susan. The rooms are nice and comfortable. Bring a sweater if you're susceptible to being cool. This is on my A list

I love Malaysian food and have been wanting to come here for awhile. During our visit only half the restaurant was open to guests. They had a nice flow of people coming and going. We were fortunate to not have to wait. Service was great and so was the food. We ordered the… Nasi Lemak better here than most places I’ve tried. Their spicy sambal is really the star. Elevates the dish. We asked for extra on the side and added it to everything. Char Kway Teow big portion, nicely flavored, and noodles were cooked perfectly chewy. Curry Laksa also big portion. Noodles were a little soft for my preference and the broth was slightly bland. Looked jammed packed with flavor but was on the milder side. Roti delicious! Half Hainan Chicken moist and soft three sauces. We were full off everything else so we took this home.
