Sedap

Can’t believe this place is gone!!! This was the one place in the US that had Malaysian food that tasted closest to the ones we get back home in Malaysia! I’ve tried Malaysian style restaurants in so many places (in New Jersey, New York, California, Arizona).this one was the closest. I’ll go home and cry buckets of tears now … :(

Had the char kueh teow and it was excellent. Nice family run business. There is not much Malaysian food anymore in this area, so I was happy to find this place in the Assi food court. I will come back to try more.

Went to sedap in the assi food court for some curry laksa. This food court sure is a no frills place, kind of a dead food court, compared to H marts food court. The man at Sedap promptly took my order and in about 7 minutes out came my bowl of curry laksa. I have only had curry Laksa from two other places, one on Buford highway and another at a bubble tea place.
I was surprised at the rich flavor of the soup. It had there right amount of pepper and flavoring, not too fishy and not too oily. The noodles were great and the chicken and shrimp were cooked well, not over cooked. I really enjoyed the curry laksa. I didn’t try anything else here but their other dishes look good too, at least from the pictures and other reviews. The prices are very fair for what you get. 7 bucks for a big bowl of soup was very reasonable.
I read another review of sedap that it is closing in June. I did not ask the guy at the counter but just beware if you are reading this in June, call ahead to make sure they are open.

Sedap is inside of the Assi Supermarket’s foodcourt. I ordered the Pad Thai which was $ 7.99 plus tax my total came out to be $ 8.47. The pad thai was good. It had pieces of chicken and shrimp in it along with bean sprouts, topped with crushed peanuts and a slice of lime on the side. Its was quiet here at the foodcourt this Wednesday (05−13−15) at 5:30pm. Overall I would eat here again and try some of their other dishes but I heard they are closing soon. We will see.

Just talk to the owners, they are closing in june! Come one come all before its too late

I’ve eaten here twice after the change in ownership. It was quite okay the first time but the 2^nd time I visited (2÷14÷15), the food was just bland. For example, I could hardly taste the coconut and the curry flavors from the curry laksa. The fried rice noodles (chaw kwai diu) didn’t have any «wok hei».
The food there is cheap but that’s not enough to get customers. The place was pretty quiet during the lunch hour of a Saturday, they need to do something with their food.

New owner. Terrible. Friends and I are beyond upset.
Food isn’t like it used to be, it is now extremely bland and not as fresh as before. Everything is just wrong.

Change of ownership 4 months ago. Not good. All wrong. Bland. Wrong spice. Dry meat. All wrong. No wok hei flavor. I don’t know how they are cooking. Microwaves?
If you like bland food, this is the place. If you think this place is good, you like bland food.

I had the Laksa ($ 6.99) this last week. It was good. Real nice flavor. A nice mix of Tofu, chicken and 4 – 5 shrimp with traditional long skinny noodles. I ate Laksa often in my time in Malaysia and Singapore and this is very similar. They do not put boiled egg in theirs, but that is fine with me, since I don’t eat the boiled eggs anyways.
I did not find it particularly oily as at least one other has mentioned, but there was a layer of oil on top.
I wish they had water on tap in front, and napkins in front. I had to ask for both after the fact. The person behind the register was not very friendly, I would almost say annoyed with having to take my order, which was kind of a put off, but hey everyone has a bad day.
In any case, I look forward to trying their Roti Cani and/​or perhaps their Kway Toew in the near future.

It’s pretty much the best we got in Duluth after Wong Kee closed down. I’ve tried a few things that I will now list;
Curry Laksa: after having laksa in malaysian, no laksa will ever satisfy me. And this was the same. I don’t do extreme spicy. So i asked them to tone it down, not sure if that effected anything but the soup base was lacking flavor.
Tom Kar Noodle soup: THIS soup base how ever is EXTRA flavorful. The coconut milk in this (vs Tom yum soup base) really makes a big difference. I like it alot. You can choose from ho fun, rice noodle, or regular noodle. Comes with bean sprouts, chicken, shrimp, and Oh — so — much FLAVOR!
Tom Yum Noodle soup: too spicy for me, but my friend had a sip of the soup and she said «WOW. Very Tom yum-​y. Lol Tom yum fans give it a try!
Chicken Satay: OMG. The most succulent, flavorful, tender chicken satay I’ve ever had in america. Lol they legit cook it over a fire or something. Omen out piping hot and nicely charred. Must. Try.
Char Kay Teow: it was good, but a little too wet? I’m use to me CKT a little dryer
Note: I actually wrote this review like 5 months ago and never posted it, but supposedly the owner changed? Oh no!!! The couple sold it and left??? NOOOO!

First of all, this place is 5 mins away from my house. VERY Convenient, not expensive and its pretty good. I just found out that they have new owner and I tried their Hainanese chicken rice which is one of their specials, call ahead of time cos they dont have it everyday. But let me tell you, their Hainanese chicken rice is authentic, just like the ones in Singapore where i am originally from. Awesome. I tried their mee goreng too and its really good. Go visit and give it a try. Its worth it.

It appears that the ownership of the place has changed recently. While the food was not bad, it definitely went down in quality. I ordered the Laksa Curry and my wife the Tom Kar and both dishes were average. It did not have the same freshness it used to have. The 2 dishes were overloaded with noodles and I had only 4 shrimp in mine and a few strips of chicken.

We were regular patrons of Sedap (under Paul) but Oh boy… the change in ownership is evident and we are officially looking for a new Malaysian place to satisfy our Nasi lemak cravings. The Nasi Lemak we ordered was not Malaysian. In fact, it tasted as if I was eating Korean food. The peanuts were boiled (what the heck!), the anchovies were mixed with pickled cabbage, carrots, and onion. Did the cook get the recipes mixed up? The chicken spices for the curry were good but the chicken was tough (chopped up chunks). Okay, to the owner’s credit, the cucumber and ½ boiled egg were correctly prepared.
I’m sorry to say we wasted $ 10 bucks.

For the past year or so, Sedap has been the go-​to place to cure my homesickness. So, when we received the devastating news that it had changed ownership last week, we had to come check it out. Upon arrival, we were elated to see Paul, the original owner, manning the counter. I was hoping maybe it was just a rumor… Paul confirmed that he indeed has sold the business… bummer!
Since we were here, we decided to try out the new Sedap and ordered Char Kay Teow (fried flat rice noodle), curry laksa (noodle in curry-​coconut broth), and satay (grilled chicken on skewers, served with peanut sauce) — the «gold standard» of Malaysian cuisine. Here is how the dishes fared:
Satay — remains similarly tender and delicious. The dish is pretty much the same, except it has less char on the meat.
Char Kay Teow — I like it a lot. I thought the flavor is even more authentic and I tasted lots of «wok hey» — a nice flavor when food is cooked in extreme heat (the same principle as Maillard reaction in modernist cooking). However, I thought the noodle was too salty. Definitely need to tell them to go easy with salt/​soy sauce. On a different note, as my tip said, do remember to ask for sambal belachan when you order this dish. It’s a Malaysian condiment/​chili paste that pairs best with Char Kay Teow.
Curry Laksa — Another solid dish. The first sip of broth, I tasted curry leaf — a must have in any legit curry laksa– and I’m sold. Different cities in Malaysia have difference variation of Laksa and this is very similar to Kuala Lumpur version. Again, the dish is not perfect. It’s way too oily (there was a sheen of oil floating on top) and the broth is a tack too sweet.
Overall, we like the dishes. As much as we are going to miss the previous owners, we welcome the new kid on the block. We will keep coming back for sure.

While I cannot pledge for the authenticity of the food served at Sedap, I can verify that they are one of the most professional businesses in the Assi Plaza food court. The menu is clearly noted with photos and costing, so there are barely any questions asked.
While sampling the various array of culturally diverse foods offered in this court, the Chicken Satay skewers caught my eye. Mostly because of Sedap’s photo presentation and the large amount of food given for the inexpensive price. I could not believe my eyes when my order quickly arrived at the counter, overflowing with chicken skewers and super flavorful savory and sweet peanut sauce. The spice, coconut, and peanut flavors were so strong and comforting that I will definitely be back for more!
While some other stalls straight up ignored me or made me wait over twenty minutes for simply prepared foods on a desolate day, Sedap really made my day.

Sedap is a Malaysian and Thai restaurant (primarily Malaysian) located inside Assi Plaza, the Asian supermarket on Pleasant Hill Rd. near I-​85. It’s one of many eateries inside of Assi’s ethnically eclectic food court.
Stopped by here for a Saturday lunch and this stall was quite popular (and for good reason). Many people ordered large take-​out meals. Stacks upon stacks of Styrofoam boxes filled with hot food, ready to go and all securely bagged up.
Sedap’s menu hangs above the ordering counter like Assi’s other food court stalls. Over 20 Malaysian and Thai entrees are offered and each has a helpful picture and English description. You can find popular snacks like chicken satay (marinated chicken skewers), roti canai (Malaysian «pancakes» with curry), noodle soups, «dry» noodle dishes such as Singapore noodles and pad Thai, curries, and rendang (slow-​simmered, spicy meats).
One reason why this place is popular is because of the prices. Most entrees are only about $ 8 each. Only a handful cross the $ 10 barrier. Quite affordable.
When I walked up to the ordering counter and looked at the menu, I immediately knew what I wanted: laksa. Laksa is a spicy noodle soup most often found in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. I first had it in Singapore and have been hooked ever since. Anthony Bourdain feature laksa in one episode of No Reservations.
Sedap sells two kinds of laksa: curry laksa and penang laksa. The curry laksa is made with coconut and is not sour like the penang laksa. The curry laksa comes with egg noodles, chicken, and shrimp. The penang laksa comes with rice noodles and fish. I went with the curry laksa.
The curry laksa reminded me of Thai coconut soup (tom kha). The soup broths have very similar tastes and textures, of which there are several: spicy, tangy, sweet, creamy. I was pleasantly surprised by the rich, flavorful, and addictive broth. It’s a winner. Not only that, but the pieces of chicken breast were soft and tender. Definitely a plus. Other ingredients included bean sprouts and cilantro. Generous portion size. If you’ve never had laksa before, I recommend trying a bowl, especially if you like Thai coconut soup.
One of my tablemates ordered the pad Thai. Pad Thai is a spicy Thai rice noodle dish that comes with chicken, shrimp, bean sprouts, eggs, cilantro, and lime. It looked decent and he demolished it. Must’ve been good.
Service was friendly and efficient. The owner served us. If you order in, the food is served in real tableware as opposed to disposable to-​go containers. You’re supposed to return the plates and bowls to the counter when you’re finished. However, the owner came and grabbed our plates and bowls when we were done.
Tap water is available at the counter and is served in small Styrofoam cups. You’ll have to go back to the counter if you want refills or you can refill at the water fountains by the restroom.

Best Malaysian food in Duluth/​Lawrenceville area. They don’t have a lot of varieties on the menu but the food that I have ordered are very delicious!
Recommended menu:
— Char Kay Teow
— Nasi Lemak
— Nasi Goreng

I’ve been to a few so called fancy Malaysian restaurant, yet the quality is still to be desired. Then a buddy introduced me to Sedap. His parents in law, who were visiting from Malaysia even praised that this place is good and even better than some of the authentic places back in the homeland. Needless to say, I was sold and hooked on since. Tried almost every item on the menu.
Great place, great price, great portion, great quality. 2 thumbs up. :)

Asian food courts beat the ones at the mall, but you could say I’m a little biased. After being out in the cold pretty much the entire day, all I wanted was some more hot soup to warm my soul. The first place that came to mind was Sedap, given the close proximity, the fact that I already had phở earlier that day, and the soups here are consistently amazing! The owners are beyond sweet and even bring the food out to your table when it’s ready.

One of my hubby’s cousins had food cater from Sedap for her traditional Khmer wedding at the house. The food was delicious. I finally got a chance to go to Assi food court in Duluth to try Sedap. The funny thing is I saw that same cousin also there.
Sedap is tucked in the corner so it’s hard to see. My bestie and I decided that we would try their food. They have a lunch special for a dish and drink for only $ 5.99 and it was well worth it.
I ordered Char Kay Teow, which was good but had to ask for hot peppers to make it spicier, I love my food spicy.
The owners are really nice and outgoing. I will definitely come back
