Grilled Skewers and Comfort Cooking in Brooklyn
Malaysian cooking brings satay skewers, homemade tofu, and baked rice to this Brooklyn mom and pop stop.
🍢 Satay and Comfort
Satay gives Yi Poh Kitchen an immediate hook, with grilled skewers sharing the table with homemade tofu served with rice and baked rice topped with minced pork and shrimp. The menu moves between Malaysian staples, Chinese dishes, and noodle soups without losing its comfort food center.
Iced milk tea and iced lychee keep the drinks simple, while the mood can feel calm on Sunday mornings and more filled with music later in the day. There is also a second shop nine avenues down when the first room is full, giving you a nearby fallback without leaving the neighborhood.
At 6415 11th Ave in Brooklyn, the kitchen opens daily from half past ten AM until a quarter to nine PM. That steady window fits a relaxed lunch, a takeout stop, or an early dinner, with the satay skewers making an easy place to begin.
