Went to Cinta Ria for lunch during a weekday. Great service, ensured our waters were filled. We got in and out in less than an hour! I ordered the Mee Siam with tofu, medium hot. It was absolutely delicious! Tofu wonderfully prepared, great flavor! Will go back!

It’s not often you can find a Malaysian restaurant but I’m glad I came across this place. Restaurant was clean and well kept. They do need an extra person or two on staff as they seemed a bit overwhelmed with the amount of people dining in, so service was a bit slow. That said, the food was great! Had the roti canai appetizer which was hearty and had the large shrimp laksa as the main. Laksa was excellent, it was hot, flavour was great and the ratio of noodles and ingredients was spot on. Would definitely come again

We had two vegan versions of different noodle dishes, and two meat dishes, as well as appetizers (all thumbs up for the curry puffs, the mango salad was also great). Everything was fresh and delicious. We will be back!

Updated after a second visit This place is worth checking out, big portions and flavour. Not a place they will have you raving about it to your friends, but you could do way worse. Check out the Chicken Satay (maybe add some tofu like it did). It was really nice through it could have used some heat to cut through. The spring rolls were disappointing, almost like frozen and store bought.

★★★★★

Simply Classy! The perfect place for a lovely Thai/Malaysian lunch. Infact, this place has a diverse version of the typical 'Malaysian' food. The ambience is soothing, clean washrooms and the food is really good. Not huge portion sizes, but great tasting and satisfying. Will definitely be visiting again if I'm in the area. Do try the mouth watering beef rendang with the coconut rice!

We were fabulously impressed by the food quality, service and taste. Plates are well presented, delicious, well proportioned. In the past two weeks, we have been in Houston TX, Montréal Qc, Ottawa ON. Cinta Ria Malaysian is a total surprise and the best we have been in this fall. Well done folks, and thank you Louis, for introducing us to this jewel.

I work outside and today was a chilly day, I was chilled to the bone, and wanted something hot so I went in today on my break and ordered the Laska soup and it was very tasty! I had it to go but the atmosphere seemed very warm and welcoming while I waited for my soup. The hostess was very polite and friendly. I am going to return for in house dining soon! Thank you for the great service today andI look forward to dining in!

Ordered Roti, Satay Peanuts and Char Kway Teow today, first two were really good, not so much CKT. At first it was way too Salty, then they remade one and this time the rice noodle is too hard and still somewhat salty. Service is amazing though.

Cannot recommend this place more, stumbled upon it after weeks of enduring burgers and fries on our roadtrip and what a gem. The laksa was next level and the curry chicken with coconut rice was absolutely delicious.

Surprisingly wonderful meal in Moncton. 4 of us shared an order of curry puffs, beef rendang, curry laksa and mee goreng mamak. All very tasty and came out quick. Next time, I would order more mains instead of the curry puffs, which I found were a bit on the small side.

Awesome entrees. Dim sum was okay. Really enjoyed the flavours. Timing of food delivery to table was a little frustrating as one entree didnt come until halfway through the meal. The first one delivered came with the appetizers, which was unexpected. Even still, we enjoyed the food enough we will give them another chance next time we are in the area.

This is hands down our favorite restaurant in the Greater Moncton area. We are proud to consider ourselves regulars. The owner and her staff are incredibly warm and welcoming and make every visit such a wonderful experience. Whether we are there for a regular family of 3 meal, dining as a group of 10 with visiting family/friends, or anything in between, they go out of their way to make us feel welcome and special. I believe we have tried everything on menu and have never, ever had a bad dish. Everything is so incredibly flavorful. A few of our extra favorites are the wonton nachos, steamed custard buns, cheese roti, laksa soup, makhani, and mee goreng mamak. But legitimately, you can t go wrong. Absolutely give this restaurant a try!!

I ve been enjoying this restaurant when passing through Moncton for ten years. Their consistently great service and excellent food has never disappointed. As far as I know, it s the only Malaysian food in the Maritimes. The prices are great too. You should try it! We would love to see gado gado and kropek on the menu next time we stop in. :)

Looking for an Asian restaurant with great service, flavourful and fresh dishes, in a clean and updated venue? Look no further, this is the place to go. My husband and I were tired of eating your typical Canadian-Asian-fried-everything restaurant, that left you so thirsty you could drink a gallon of water and still not quench your thirst. Our first time in Cinta Ria was 3 weeks ago, and we came back again tonight, as my husband was craving the various fresh and delicious tasting flavours one can find here. So far we ve tried their Curry Chicken (a little spicy, but so delicious) we got ours served with coconut rice as per our server s suggestion, Beef Rendang (slow cooked beef, very tender), Singapore Noodles with chicken, Mango Salad, Har gow (steamed shrimp dumpling), and roti. Everything we ve eaten so far was delish!! Service is excellent, server took the time to explain the various dishes and made some excellent suggestions. We had the Mango Salad and Har gow both times. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant, and we look forward in trying different items next time we go.

★★
July 22, 2024

Mango salad for $12 was disappointing. Small portion and soggy salad. Chicken curry tasted good but tiny pot with 4 pieces of chicken for $24. Wife had satay chicken, I thought it was bland. Overpriced and underwhelming. Not worth $64 for 2 people.

Girlfriend and I had a show at 6:30. We got there around 5:20, and they were busy. A few minutes in, we got worried about making our show - our own problem and fault, not theirs. So I approached the folks at the cash and let them know wed decided to leave - not because of a bad experience, just our own tight timeline. Well, they instantly offered to take our order and asked for a rush in the kitchen. I felt so bad, I knew it was our own fault for trying to get in and out so quick, but the staff were so sweet and helpful. We got our food ten minutes later and it was delicious. We scarfed it down and made our show. While Id definitely show up earlier next time because I really feel bad getting preferential treatment, I have to give them top marks for making us feel so welcome and well looked after. Dietary restrictions: They have some gluten free options

Loved the food. You can order the extra sauce; youll want to slurp it back. The service was polite but be prepared that parking is a bit of an issue, so plan for that and dont take it out on the staff :) A great addition to DT.

Parking: Parking is limited so walk from work if you can or plan a little extra time to get yourself a spot.

Food was OK but I had 2 problems with this takeout order. The price of the food was not the same as the menu online. A $15 item became a $20 item. Not the end of the world but an annoyance. No utensils with this takeout order. Yes, I should have asked, and they should have at least offered. I wound up having to go to the nearby hotel restaurant for utensils.

The spicy options are really spicy, which we love! The menu offers a great variety of dishes and theres a fair amount of customization available with multiple protein options for most dishes. Weve also ordered delivery many times and it always arrives pipping hot and theres never been a mistake with our order. I recently brought a client there and they highly praised the food. 10/10 recommend!

When I was eating my food I found a piece of a broken china in my mouth which hurt my gum. I showed them but they gave me the bill to pay for that !?!?!

Went there with friends and ordered all the famous ones they recommended. My friend got the Singapore noodles and she bite into a big peace of broken China dish in her noodles which damaged her mouth and teeth . We showed that big piece !

On a trip to east coast and after an over dose of seafood we decided to try our this place based purely on reviews. It was packed when we arrived at 7:30, glad we made a reservation before hand. We ordered their house lemon iced tea, and chrysanthemum tea. For appetizers we ordered beef satay and laksa soup with chicken. The food and drinks arrived very quickly. The beef satay was exceptional, as per our son who is kind of an expert on satay ;-) the peanut sauce was just perfect! the laksa was great too, it s not too spicy certainly not as spicy as we had in Singapore. For mains we ordered Singapore noodles with chicken and nasi goreng (friend rice) with shrimp. They messed up the shrimp rice and gave us chicken instead. However they were quick to rectify their mistake and got us the shrimp fried rice promptly. The vermicelli noodles were light with curry flavour not too spicy and still packed with flavour.. The fried rice was special with the sambal flavour shining through. The crispy chips and egg on top added to the crunch and presentation. The portions were just about right, we were a party of 3 - two adults and a 12 year old and we could finish everything. Overall, great experience, the servers were also quite good.. We recommend you to check it out if you are in this area.. This place totally deserves its rating.

After living in Singapore for years i would say that their Char Kway Teow lacks flavor and is a bit dry. Chicken Satay too lacks flavor, the Roti is good but i hope the curry sauce they can improve. I wish they have Hainanese Chicken Rice or Nasi Lemak. Overall service and atmosphere is good

Our 1st time here. Our server is very pleasant and single handedly managed the 6 tables and skip the dishes orders. The food here are like the ones at Hawker centers. Really delish! We didnt have Curry Laksa today but we will definitely go back. Update: Finally had Curry Laksa, Beef Rendang and Butter Cream Chicken! We loved it!

First time here and they said they just re-opened after renovation. Inside looks like a high end restaurant, but the most amazing thing is that the food actually is not behind the look of the interior. It is very delicious and each plate has a distinctive taste and flavor. We had Roti Canai, Mee Goreng Mamak and Mee Siam. They all were so good, that I got another plate of Mee Goreng Mamak (I was hungry and tired after all day hikes anyway). Staff is friendly and polite. Very good find overall! Keep going guys, dont let your mark down on quality.

The food was simply incredible. It blew my mind how good it was. The ambiance is nice, the place well decorated, the waiters are polite and attentive. The food was bomb, as expressed before. We chose the satay peanut and Mee Goreng Mamak. It was a hard choice to make because the whole menu was very tempting. They serve great portions and its affordable. No doubt an excellent quality and quantity to price ratio. If youre in Moncton, look no further for a place to have dinner... Thank me later!

Not just the foods, the experience is great too. Had dinner with friend last weekend. We ordered Laksa and I love it so much, that it s very similar with what I had in Singapore. Well the CKT I ordered did not meet my expectations so we gave feedback to the restaurant. They immediately ask me more details and make a new portion for me to takeout! The food is 100% meets expectations. The customer service is 120% exceeded our expectations!

Food was presented nicely. Decent portions but very dry, I had to flag down a server to ask for extra sauce since not a single server came to check on our table the whole 2.5 hours we were there. They came super quick to give our receipts, party of 8 and then didnt come to take payment so about 20 min later we all got up to pay at the front conjesting the front entrance since no one came to our table to take payment and we had to go since 2.5 hours was plenty of time. Poor servers dont have enough help, running around without being able to provide quality service. So its not their fault, but service over all was extremely poor.

Id suggest booking a reservation before going as when we went there most of the table were either filled or is reserved. It was a Friday dinner. The service is excellent. We didnt have to ask for our water be refilled or our plates be taken out of the table. The waitress that time just cleared our plates after a few minutes we finished our appetizers and refilled our water as soon as we emptied it. The restaurant looks nice and clean. The staff are friendly and very polite too. As for the food. I personally find some of the food we ordered a bit bland and others are really good but according to my friend who was with me that time the food I find a bit bland was okay. Id suggest trying their MUST TRIES as it was one of those I ordered that I enjoyed very much. Parking: Parking is hard at busy hours so I suggest parking at the nearby parking spots like Service NB and walk to the restaurant as there isnt much parking space.

A beautiful restaurant with delicious south Asian food. We tried chicken curry which was one of the best I had, Wonton Nachos and curry laksa which was delicious! I would recommend getting a reservation and try the new items that are authentic. Butter chicken was okay so not recommended. Overall, a great place to dine in and the staff is super! Parking might be an issue as it is in downtown (Main Street).

As a starter I had the fried balls (kind of ravioli) with pork with sauce, then the chicken curry with coconut milk rice (extra charge) and a roti (kind of nan bread - also extra charge). Excellent. For dessert, mango ice cream with crispy pieces of fruit but I cant say what it is. In total, $50 with 18% tip and taxes. A bit expensive for one person. Other aspects: clean toilets, simple decor, menu mainly in English and we dont speak French. Polite and friendly staff.

Great portion sizes for reasonable prices. Ordered the KL Chicken Rice and Singaporean noodles w/ Char Siu & Shrimp. Rice dish was simple yet flavorful. Singaporean noodles couldve used less oil, but I suppose the char siu was the culprit here. A bit more seasoning to the dish wouldve made it perfect!

This is an amazing place. Service is friendly and quick. Cinta Ria is pronounced Chinta Ria it means love and happiness. It has a Quant, small, clean and relaxing atmosphere. Check it out it is worth it the food is amazing and Ida the owner wonderful lady shared, in a few months you will also get to experience the new face lift they have planned, so go now then you get to see the difference. They offer eat in or take out you can pick up or order on line at my.cinta.ria they are open six days a week from 11:30am-8pm Tue, Wed, Thurs, Sun and Fri, Sat from 11:30am- 8:30pm, closed on Mondays. It is located on Robinson St behind the Toronto Dominion Bank, so if you go in the evening you can then walk Main St and enjoy a variety of night clubs in the area, or pop in during lunch and enjoy their lunch specials, service is quick so it works great for a lunch hour. I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with William and Muskin who were there for their first time. They shared how pleased they were with the restaurant, the food and they deffinately will be returning. This couple did a video as well unfortunately Google does not yet have video upload so please check out the attached pictures.

We have eaten once inside the restaurant and have gotten take out from here more often. The staff has always been pleasant and the service has been quick. The flavors are nice and mild for beginner palates. The prices are slightly high for the portion size, but the quality keeps us coming back. We try something new each time we order, but always make sure to get their Signature salad and the Makhani with Tofu and Beef Rendang with Coconut Milk Rice. (Today we experimented with Chicken Rendang Tacos - so strange with the toasted coconut in it and yet, I couldn t stop going back for more. Definitely worth a try. I hope it stays on the menu permanently.)
