This restaurant is the real deal - authentic, delicious Malaysian food made by the chef/owner who is from Malaysia. The Malaysian classics such as char kway teow, nasi lemak, and laksa use ingredients and cooking techniques that are rooted in Malaysian cuisine. This is not a restaurant that is serving Americanized Malaysian food. The menu does have a section of Americanized Asian food such as kung pao/orange/mongolian beef/chicken etc. If you've never tried Malaysian food, this can be a good starting point. But after eating at his restaurant for years, I have become good friends with the chef/owner, and he has gradually introduced me to the beautiful and bold flavors of Malaysian cuisine.
I see a lot of recent reviews complaining about price increases and smaller portions. It is unfortunate that some changes are being made, but this is the nature of operating any restaurant during a time of rampant inflation and skyrocketing food costs. I encourage anyone who is considering eating at Secret Recipe for the first time to meet the chef/owner because his passion for what he does and the service he provides is unmatched.
Nice spot for excellent tasty Malaysia food, huge menu with lots of choices. It was a nice comforting environment and it's self serving. We will be back to try the other specialties.
I have been to this location many times but I just realized I never reviewed the place although I think I have reviewed the place in Carrollton. Whenever we travel and we are able to stop in the DFW area, we try to stop by and Plano Secret Recipe is my favorite. Food is pretty close to authentic and if Alex is around, he never fails to stop and say Hello. We love the food so much that we had lunch there and also took some home for dinner.
