Mamak Dang Malaysian Fusion Cuisine Mcknight Location

First time Malaysian food for us and wow was it ever good!! Don't let the location and outside look of the building fool you. The owner/waiter that came to serve us was so nice and he greeted us with a pot of tea. We told him it was our first time and he was kind enough to offer up some suggestions and he even gave us a brief history into Malaysian food as well as his own personal background. He was a true professional and showed his passion of the food. We ordered the Laksa noodle soup and the house noodle soup. Each can be ordered with spice from 0-5 and we selected level 2 for each. The Laksa soup as explained had a curry spice to it and had me worried if I would like it. Let me tell you I have a new respect for Curry, I could not smell it but the taste was out of this world good. It had a good amount of heat but it had such depth to it. The house noodle soup could have had a bit more spice or seasoning but the Waiter fixed that up right away offering me a homemade chili paste to pair with it. When we come again we will order the Laksa at level 1 for my wife and level 2 spice for me. If we try the house noodle again it will be level 3 or 4. We also both liked the noodles better in the Laksa soup. We had the assorted meats in the soup so that we could determine our favorite. I found the texture of the meats (ground and formed) to be a bit odd but the flavor was good. the presentation of both dishes was excellent and came out in a very short amount of time. The amount of food was plenty enough for both of us and we are pretty big eaters.

This place is a true gem! Service is very fast, extremely polite, and attentative. The laksa is delicious and truly brings the tastes of Malaysia! The checked skewers are so flavorful and the sauce is excellent. Will definitely be back lots! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Malaysian cuisine.

Very plain exterior gives way to a nicer interior, staff are attentive and the general service was good. Food is presented very nicely and was quite good, staff suggestion of pickles with my dry noodle was spot on.

If you want some cheap(ish) Malaysian food in Calgary, visit Mamak Dang!  The tables and seats are simple and resemble what one would see in Malaysian street food courts! Our roti canai was flaky and the curry sauce tasted like Japanese curry. The vegetable laksa was really flavourful! My Indonesian friend liked the beef rendang and curry chicken, and said that it was a different flavour than Indonesian beef rendang. The ais batu campur (i.e. ABC) was sweet and refreshing, and it was good end to a delicious meal.

The reserved bak kut teh is absolutely fantastic—delicious and juicy with a wonderful blend of Chinese medicinal flavors. I will definitely be coming back for it in the winter! Just remember to make a reservation a day in advance.
