What do customers say?

Ay Corner wins steady praise for roti canai, curry noodles, and nasi lemak at reasonable prices. Staff are polite and service is fast, but weekend crowds bring long waits. One reviewer flagged the sarang bread special as under-portioned for RM7, and flies were an older complaint. Hit early to avoid queues.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Half the reviews praise the smoked duck, fried rice, and generous prawn portions; staff friendliness is noted. The other half report cold chicken, poor coffee (RM10 wasted), and prices hitting KL-level rates for roadside-stall fare. Quality swings sharply between visits, leaving some regulars loyal and others soured. Early 2024 reviews flagged the decline: quality dropped noticeably even as prices stayed high. Recent positive feedback (6-7 months back) suggests some recovery in food and service, though one late complaint (2 months ago) hints the issues may linger.
