Rasa Sayang
Quick info
About Rasa Sayang
Rasa Sayang is a Chinese restaurant on High Street in Royston, with a menu that brings together Thai, Chinese, and Malaysian dishes rather than sticking to one cuisine. The Laksa reflects that range, alongside a Thai green curry drawn from the same combined menu. In total the kitchen runs to fourteen dishes, giving diners a spread across the three culinary traditions rather than a narrow set of options. The restaurant opens daily, so there is no need to plan around specific closed days during the week. Set on the High Street, it sits within easy reach for anyone passing through central Royston looking for a sit-down meal that draws on more than one regional style in a single sitting.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the Black Pepper steak and dishes like chicken with noodles and mixed veg or chicken in mandarin sauce, describing the cooking as excellent and portions as generous. Staff draw repeated praise too, with several describing them as friendly and helpful, including one account of a family with allergens being accommodated "above and beyond." Close behind, a few call out Malaysian offerings like the laksa and roti canai, though one reviewer found these "not Malaysian" and criticized the roti as reheated frozen paratha in curry sauce. A recurring complaint centers on the Thai green curry, described more than once as watery "slop" bulked out with onion, broccoli, and in one case chestnut mushrooms, alongside a crispy chili beef order said to be mostly batter with little meat. Parking nearby is also noted as difficult, and one diner felt pricing ran high for a local spot despite tasty food. Several say they'd return, with one planning to come back the very next day.

“5 stars for Rasa Sayang. Proper gem on Royston High Street. Best of both worlds — they do Malaysian classics and Chinese comfort food really …”
- Scarlett Elisabeth
“Ordered Thai green curry and crispy chili beef for take away and have never had such bad food. Which is even more disappointing after the fact that you have to collect, which I wouldn't mind for good food. The Thai green curry was aluminous onion and broccoli slop with soggy chicken didn't even know you could make chicken such a terrible texture. There was also chestnut mushrooms in it to bulk it out I'm assuming because chestnut mushrooms do not belong. The crispy chili beef was essential just crispy chili there was little beef in sight. All I was eating was deep fried batter.”
