“recommend the roti canai for appetizer, the chili chicken and kan kun belacan (entree and veggies), and the peanut pancake for dessert.”
0% drinks
“extremely poor service, it took the staff a long time to get our initial order, we waited 30 minutes for our drinks and appetizers, we had to flag down several staff before we got any silver ware and all we got was a fork, no spoons or knives.”

“Exceptionally poor customer service, food is ok if you know what to order.”

There are a number of Chinese restaurants that dabble in Malaysian cooking but I haven't found any that I enjoy as much as Penang. My go-to dishes are the chicken satay, roti & me goreng

Great Restaurant. This is one of our favorite restaurants. We never had a bad service and all the waiters are personable and extremely helpful. All their dishes are exceptionally good and consistent. Our personal favorites are Penang Asam Laksa, Rojak, Nasi Lemak, and mee goreng. Great prices and easy parking. I highly recommend this place!

Food is ok, service is not. Most of the food is average. However, some dishes are very poor imitation of authentic Malaysian food. The worst part of dining here is the service. Some of the waiters/waitresses are just RUDE!!

Zippy Malaysian cuisine tantalizes in whimsical Southeast Asian surroundings..
The Scene
The decor has a bamboo-shaded look, complete with a fake palm tree and a colorful mural of an impressively rooted tree. Set in an Asian shopping center, it is a kitschy pleasure. Attractively plated dishes arrive with lightening speed, as do refills to your water glass by the gracious wait staff.
The Food
Large portions, intense flavors and an extensive menu mean you'll want to share. Start with Roti Canai, a pancake you pull apart and dip into a curried sauce. Tom yum me hoon is a generous bowl of rice noodles laden with vegetables and seafood and spiked with lemongrass and cilantro. Sambal terung is eggplant flavored with a pungent shrimp paste; it pairs nicely with kari ayam, chicken in a curry sauce studded with potato and red onion. Although the meat is somewhat stringy, savory beef rendang is rich with coconut milk, chilies, cinnamon and cloves.

Reminds me of home.....
YUMMY! Food is very authentic to Malaysian/Southeast asian cuisine.
If you like spicy food, you'll have to give this place a shot.
We always order the beef rendang, belachan kang kung (vegetable), roti canai. Get ice kachang (a must to cool down your stomach) and bobochacha for dessert.
Service can be bad when they are busy but they have made improvements.

Magnificent Malaysian!!. I love this place! This restaurant is a gem on the Bufurd Highway Strip. The authentic spices and fantastic food, make Penang a great dining experience. I especially recomment their Roti Cania...It is fabulous.
