    Ordered take-out from Golden Triangle as it was nearby for easy pick-up, and we have been wanting to try it for a while now. We got the Chicken Satay, the Malaysian Pork Chop and the Thai Green Curry with Shrimp. Everything was hot and delicious. Both entrees came with steamed rice as well. Really enjoyed our take-out and would for sure order from them again!

    Rendang
    Simon W.

    The hunt for the best Beef Rendang in Philly led me to Golden Triangle. This Beef Rendang was seasoned well, the curry was rich but the meat was a tough chew and the portion was underwhelming. Not exactly what I'd expect from a contender for the best Beef Rendang in Philly. The Singapore Fried Mee Hoon with Shrimp was ok. The dish mostly consisted of noodles with some veggies and a small shrimp. It was good with a sweetness that was addictive.

    Thai Spring Roll

    First time trying delivery from this restaurant. It was amazing!!! Delicious tasty food. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all very good. My husband "inhaled" his spring rolls and I found their samosas to be delicate and delightful as all the other dishes were too :)

    Peanut Pancake
    Komal R.

    We only came for desserts last night but looks like we need to come back to try their apps and mains too! The peanut pancake was part savory and part sweet - imagine peanut butter in Roti Canai. Very tasty! The Farluda was pretty much like Indian Falooda - a milk based drink with vermicelli, tapioca seeds, jelly, rose syrup and topped with ice cream. Looks like a family based small business and the owners are very sweet.

    We were at FDR park and my dining partner was hungry for Thai. This popped up with really reviews on Yelp! so off we went to try it out. Street parking was available a block away. For a Saturday at 12:30pm we felt lucky, but aren't sure if that's normal. The restaurant was empty so we sat near the window. It felt clean and friendly, with plants some decoration. There was a TV near the register showing the news. We ordered red curry, pad Thai, and a Myanmar coffee. We asked if we could get the tofu raw (not deep fried) and was told that even though they do make their own tofu, they make it fried, as it's egg tofu. Ok, we'll give it a go. I looked up to see what a Myanmar coffee was before ordering and what I read was they double-roast their beans, which are 80% of the mix. The rest is wheat, butter or margarine, and salt. I thought I'd give it a try for the experience. The food was good but not really anything amazing. The coffee was super sweet and had some kind of milk in it. It tasted like strange Vietnamese coffee. We asked if we could get it without the milk and sweetener and was told they could not do it, which makes me think it was a powdered drink with water. It's kind of what it tasted like. We were rather underwhelmed with the entire experience. It was good but nothing stood out, and we considered the coffee a fail.

    We were craving Thai and decided to go here. They take reservations and it's a BYOB. We got the roti canai and steamed dumplings as appetizers. Both were delicious. Orders for main meals included pineapple fried rice with shrimp, green curry with chicken, pad Thai with beef and broccoli and chicken. Everything was delicious. We asked for the curry spicy and it was borderline too spicy! The pineapple fried rice needed more pineapple. Pad Thai was yummy. Super affordable and flavorful. Staff are super friendly. I highly recommend.

    Nasi Lemak
    Faith S.

    Golden Triangle is the ultimate source of delicious, authentic, lovingly prepared specialties! Beef Rendang was amazing and so tender! Nasi Lemak with chicjen so tender! Ayam Pandan wings were yummy! Peanut pancakes should be illegal... they are so good!!!

    Great food recommended by my Burmese friend! she swears the food here is just like that of his childhood. I personally love the roti canai and the tea leaves salad. Ambience is comfy and cozy, and prices are reasonable if not more affordable than other places in the city. Also great for groups if you call ahead of time. Definitely a gem in Philly!

    AMAZING meals! We got pad see ew and pepper beef, both were SO full flavor and great portions. I look forward to trying more items.

    Went here with friends because we were feeling nostalgic for the days when they used to live in the area. Food we ordered: char kueh teow with shrimp, nasi lemak, penang tofu with chicken, and veggie fried rice for the table. I can only speak for the penang tofu and fried rice, love it. The tofu in the fried rice - flavorful, don't know what they do but when I cook tofu it tastes like a bland sponge. The tofu in the penang tofu - it was freaking juicy, I loved it. It was drenched, DRENCHED in red curry sauce. The chicken was tender and juicy. It is a mild spicy, had to put some chili oil on it because I like spicy. It came with a small bowl of rice. Very filling. My friends raved about their foods too. Nasi lemak is their go to order, so def recommend!l. We also ordered dessert! We got the pulut hitam (sweetened black rice with coconut milk?), and mango sticky rice. Would also recommend. To boot, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was cozy and homely. They had holiday decorations up, and paired with the southeast Asian art they had up, it felt like a tropical Christmas haha! :) Would come back again, and would recommend. Sorry we were hungry and I have no pics of food except this funny sign I saw when I went to the bathroom.

    Ordered take out and very happy with the food! Good portions, reasonable price, everything tasted good, and order was ready for pickup at stated time. The photo is my plate at home since I did takeout lol. Favorites were the Thai chicken lettuce wraps and the black pepper beef. Would definitely order from here again.

Carter Afro futurism in Costume Design exhibition (Sinners, Wakanda Forever, etc.). And what do you need on a field trip? Lunch! We looked at the options around us, considered dietary restrictions, and decided Penang was the place for us. And they did not disappoint! Service was great... We were immediately seated. The weather was a bit chilly, and when we requested a new space away from the door, we were accommodated without incident. When I tell you the roti with curry changed my life?? I could eat that everyday and not get tired of it?! It's sooo perfect! Sheesh! We ordered a lot of different dishes, so we kind of shared around the table, leaving nothing to be desired. The green curry seafood in clay pot was delicious! I mean, every variation of curry I tasted was somehow the best curry. Haha The mango fish was sooo good! The fried vegetable dumplings were amazing. I will surely be back. I don't even care if I have to get it delivered, I will be enjoying this food again!

    I've been here multiple times since moving to Philly, and Penang has always been my go-to spot for…read moreMalaysian food... but honestly, that might be changing. The food quality has noticeably gone downhill over the past few months. To start, my party of four asked for a pot of hot tea. The server told us it would be $5, which is fine--especially since it was freezing outside and the restaurant itself was cold (the heat didn't seem to be on). But near the middle of the meal, I asked for a refill (literally just more hot water), and the server came back with the owner/manager and said it would be another $5. That's ridiculous. The tea is already made--charging another $5 for hot water is wild. The service didn't help either. The server was pretty stoic, and the whole interaction felt awkward, especially while I was trying to order off a QR code menu that had zero descriptions of the dishes. That lack of explanation definitely caused issues. For example, we ordered the Singapore rice noodles expecting something curry-based, but it tasted like a sweet-and-sour ketchup sauce instead. Not good--and totally avoidable if the menu actually explained what the dish was. As for the food, the roti canai was disappointing. The curry was watered down and lacked flavor compared to previous visits, though I'll give credit where it's due--the roti itself was nicely toasted. I don't know what changed, but something clearly did, and it feels like a leadership issue. Overall, this visit was really underwhelming, and I won't be coming back anytime soon unless things seriously turn around here.

Kampar is close to home, so it's been on our list for a while, especially since our Malaysian cuisine experience is scant. We easily made reservations with friends for a Friday night. The reservation process is a little confusing since you can make res for downstairs or upstairs; the downstairs area features rotating chefs and their cuisines vs the upstairs area is true Kampar. We were happy to dine in the upstairs dining room, which had great ambience and vibes. It was dark and moody with simple candles and artwork around, plus a chill playlist. Our server was helpful in walking us through the menu and providing suggestions on number of dishes, etc. We started off with drinks. I love how their menu was separated into various types of drinks (light & bright, spirit forward, fun & fundamental, etc.), and I was blown away by all the unique pairings in each drink. It was a tough decision, but I opted for the Karbonat, which featured beet, sweet potato, and mandarin flavors - it was so fun and delicious! For round 2, I went for the coconut clarified whiskey tarik, loving the inclusion of banana leaf and Japanese vermouth. All my dining partners also really enjoyed their drinks, having a mixture of cocktails and wines / beers (something for everyone!). For eats, we debated just getting the Kenduri, where the chef simply cooks for you, vs ordering on our own. We ultimately decided to choose our own adventure, ordering the goat rendang, sayur goreng, ayam goreng berempah, and chili pan mee to split. We each got our own nasi lamak to soak up all the goodies. Every dish was beautifully crafted with quality ingredients and was so delicious. I lvoed the presentation of the nasi lamak, and my standout dishes were the rendang and ayam goreng berempah (a surprise hit). We all enjoyed each dish, and we were sufficiently full with this shared order (too stuffed for dessert, though). The price is reasonable - we spent less with our method of ordering than we would have with getting the tasting menu. The cocktails were a little on the pricier side, but given the uniqueness of the drinks, I get it. Kampar did not disappoint, and it was a great meal to share with friends. I was (and still am) shocked to hear about the devastating fire and prolonged impact, so I am keeping my eyes peeled to hear about their hopefully soon reopening!

Sichuan Mathai is, in fact, good at all of these. General Tso's is sauced well, not too sweet, and the batter fried coating holds up well against it. My only gripe here would be that the restaurant seems to only use white meat, but for some that's probably a plus. Dan dan noodles were sauced and spiced well, giving that tingly numbing ma la to balance the respectable heat. Plus, some bok choy mixed up in there for, you know, health reasons. Finally, the drunken noodles come out with fluffy, chewy wide rice noodles, just the right amount of heat, basil, veg, and meat. Drunken noodles, despite their name, are a delicate dish that is pretty tough to throw together unless you know exactly what you're trying to make, and this dish has HIT so well that I had to order it again later in the week. I've only had it three times so far, but again, it was so good that I'd trust them with anything!
