The quality of food isn't as good as it used to be. But my favourite is still the Spring Roll (Po Piah)! Although the quality of food isn't what is used to be, their Nonya Kuehs (pastries/cakes/puffs) are still as good as they were in the past!

We are already fans of nonya food, and this didn't disappoint. The decor is a bit rubbish, but the food and friendly funny service is great

Good Food but a litle cramped. You must get used to the straight talking Nancy!

I am not overly fond of very hot food but the waiter helped us out with dishes that suited both my husband and myself. Tastes that I have never experienced before must be the Nonya that everyone raves about. Nancy's is rustic yet clean. Busy but with fabulous personal service and so reasonably priced.

We really enjoyed the food at this establishment which was recommended as a good place to taste the local Nonya cuisine.

The décor of the restaurant is quite rustic and old fashioned.... More

Maybe once places get too many good write ups they let everything slip - we found this over and over again in Melaka - Nancy's was o.k. but just o.k. Travellers try some of the not so well written up places.

This is a very popular lunch place on a busy Saturday. By the time we had finished our lunch there was a queue extending outside waiting for one of the few tables. Yes it is very small with a little room downstairs at the front of the restaurant- then behind that there is the take-away section, kitchen and cashier. Some... More

Went there for lunch after recommendation several places. It was almost full, but we managed to get a table for ourselves and our children aged 3 and 5. The first waitress did not speak English, so they sent another one. She did. We ordered three main courses in different sizes plus and rice. We loved two out of three. Sorry,... More
