A small place and sometimes very nusy, however, the service is always good. Their food is nice and I would certainly rate them above average.

I have been a regular of Temasek for such a long time (yes, I confess I am addicted to the Beef Rendang). The food is always excellent, just don't expect great service.

Food is excellent here, good singporean malay cuisine. Service does drop if its extremely busy but most of the time its friendly. Bit pricey but no doubt good quality as well.

Have been coming here a few times over the years and as mentioned by other reviewers found the service to be "dump and run" style. Had calamari/kecap manis, lemongrass chicken and rice for three. In the past I have had Laksa which I thought had great flavours so decided on a change. The calamari had that rubber ring chew to it, and the chicken dish was ok. Asked 3 times for some take away containers and was rushed to pay the bill at the end after some lame excuse from the staff about the cash register, hhhmmm not a nice way to finish.

Haven't been to Temasek for ages and came here for Saturday lunch with a mate 2 weeks ago. The place is busy as usual and we’re lucky to get a table without booking.

The chicken is tender, boneless with skin removed, the rice is not as oily as many other places I have tried. Portion is average and the $12 charge is a bit more expensive compared to some other Malay/Singapore places. However, Temasek’s Hainan chicken rice is still the best in Sydney.

Service is average and acceptable on our day of visit. I will definitely return for their Hainan chicken rice.

Great food, great prices, place is a little noisy but for what it is very unpretentious authentic malaysian it's great value. BYO beer and wine. You won't be disappointed.

Average food, rude and arrogant service behind the cash register, won't be going back, lots of other places to eat and won't be making any recommendations.

I haven't been to Temasek for a while so on a whim my other half and I decided to have a quick dinner there on a saturday night. We were thankful that they could offer us a table but we had to be out of there for an hour. As we weren't there for entertaining with friends we were fine with that.

The food came out so fast but was very good. We had hainanese chicken rice and singapore chilli king prawns. We enjoyed both a lot. We noticed a lot of people ordering laksa there and the people next to us seemed to be struggling with the spicyness.

Overall, we enjoyed our meal but I must say that for Malaysian food it seemed overpriced. It wouldn't be somewhere I would go to regularly for this reason.

Good food and very good business. If you don't book ahead of time, and if you're lucky to get a table you'll only be given an hour to finish your meal. Dishes are pricey, eg a dish of "wat tan hor fun" for one person is $20.95! Service is okay, the waitering staff are usually flat off their feet owing to the volume of business so will not be as attentive as the average restaurant. I won't rate their service as appalling like some. All in all, a place to go for good food!

Requested Nasi Goreng with a hint of chilli off the take-away menu. When I had a couple of spoon fulls, mouth burned up (looked closely to find that it was absolutely saturated with chilli flakes).

Took half an hour for my take away order to be ready. About 40 minutes after I finished the meal, my stomach blew up like a balloon and experienced a bad cause of gastro that evening till the next morning, which could only mean one thing MSG MSG MSG MSG! Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
