About AYAM

Family owned Thai-Malay fast casual restaurant serving halal comfort dishes. Specializing in khao man gai and complimented by unique sides such as murtabak and crispy wonton chips.

Located at 40-13 35th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101, AYAM operates as a malaysian serving Long Island City in New York. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as thai restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Long Island City, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across New York run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11:30 amโ€“9 pm. Note that it does not open on Tuesday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach AYAM at (347) 448-6978; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is ayam.nyc, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 109 reviews, which is a strong result for a malaysian in Long Island City and suggests consistent service.

Long Island City is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Long Island City is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

AYAM is honestly one of the worst excuses for a restaurant Iโ€™ve ever walked into. The food wasnโ€™t just inauthentic โ€” it tasted like someone Googled โ€œMalaysian foodโ€ and tried to freestyle the rest. I have no idea how this place has a 4.9 rating, but that number is living on borrowed time. Once people actually try the food, itโ€™s going to fall fast. I ordered the Murtabak and Nasi Lemak, and let me tell you: nothing about them was even remotely close to real Malaysian cuisine. The flavors were off, the presentation was sad, and the whole experience felt like a parody of what the dishes are supposed to be. Horrible, horrible, and horrible.

I'm Malaysian and let me tell you that this is home to the BEST nasi lemak in the city. The sambal is 12/10 sedap (delicious). Everything on the menu we tried was a banger. Can't wait to come back. Note that the space is a little tight, so plan accordingly. The family that runs this place are lovely.

Food was very authentic and fresh. Very friendly service. Got the Khao soi, pad Thai and martabak to go. Portion sizes were huge, so def worth the price. Would definitely go back to try their other items.

Recommend the chicken rice bowl that you can get fried, steamed or grilled & comes with yummy ginger broth. Their drinks, wonton chips and Nasi Lemak are also worth trying. The pad thai was underwhelming. Store is small and cozy.

Very well designed halal family business with great food and service. The space and the menu design are beautiful. I got the nasi lemak which was very tasty. Prices are reasonable. Maybe because I was fasting all day but portions seemed small, more appropriate for lunch. But not too little for what theyโ€™re charging. Iโ€™d happily pay a bit more for a bigger serving for dinner. Will definitely come back.
