We got seated immediately and they had a variety of Malaysian items on the menu that had a little of everything and ones similar to other Asian cuisine dishes. Roti Canai - The piece of roti was huge, a big portion for 2 people which we enjoyed. The curry was light and a little sweet paired with the thin and chewy roti. Pad Thai - A very classic dish. It was mildly spicy which gave a good kick and it had the classic flavors being sour, sweet, savory and nutty at the same time. The noodles were a nice texture with the crunchier bean sprouts, the tender shrimp and chewy tofu. We also tried the Hainanese Chicken which was a bit different than what we were used to but it was still tender and soft. A solid place for dinner in the Chinatown area if you're wanting to get some different dishes.

The fried tofu in the pad Thai was amazing: crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, very satisfying to eat. I also ordered veggie dumplings, which were nothing special. I was really disappointed to find out that the roti canai has egg in it, so I was sad that I couldn't enjoy the roti canai starter but I should have looked more into it. I also ordered lychee drink which was amazing: sweet, refreshing, had lychee in it which I appreciated. Overall, food was hot and fresh but the spice was too much for me personally! This place seems pretty well established, run well, clean, and service was very attentive: my server reassured me which dishes were vegan which was so amazing and helpful. Would def recommend if you ever want to try Malaysian!

We shared an order of scallion pancakes and each got a bowl of noodle soup - mine was roast pork with wonton noodle soup. Everything tasted great - scallion pancakes were nice and crispy, and the soup had great flavor. Service was easy and quick, and server seemed pretty friendly. My friend did most of the talking, as he's fluent in Cantonese, but everyone seemed pretty smart. Not a huge space in there, and didn't look quite as "popular" as some of the other restaurants nearby, but great for what it is, a traditional Chinese spot with good reliable selections.

We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.

The ambiance inside can be described as family friendly and good for small groups of 2-4. We did have to wait a little bit for the table, but service was quick once we were inside the restaurant. The menu had a wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian noodle and rice dishes. I'd definitely recommend trying a noodle dish as they're known for hand pulling the noodles. We ordered a seaweed salad and mixed veggies with tofu (rice and noodles). All of the dishes were seasoned well, priced appropriately for the portions, and were good for sharing. I'd recommend this place when visiting with a family in Chinatown.

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.

Penang is a sit down Malaysian Restaurant who used to be, in my opinion, the gold star for…read moreMalaysian Restaurants in the city. But over the past decade or so, things have changed. Their chicken satay is having smaller pieces than ever, higher prices, and seems to be overcooked more often than not. Their Roti Canai seems to have smaller protein in the dipping sauce. The service seems to be more curt than it used to be and very transactional. There's no more free hot tea. And of course those dreaded QR Menus which are made worse since (1) the prices on those menus do not match what's on the website and (2) there is no description of the menu items on there so unless you really know your Malaysian Food, you may not know what you're getting yourself into. And these cuts have happened quite dramatically -- it's not just inflation at play. They're still good but they have started to cut corners which is a shame, because they were so good. It seems like they're starting to coast on their reputation and it shows. The other things nobody ever talks about: - Water: The water here has a funky taste... but you're in Philly so this is par for the course. - Restrooms: There are two Men & Women Restrooms though it can be tight getting there since the walkway is shared with where the waitstaff gets the food from the kitchen. - Accessibility: There is certainly seating options if you're in a wheelchair but the restaurant is certainly very tight to navigate so it could be tricky. - Seating: There's plenty of seating. - Will it fill you up? In general, yes, but it's less food than before for sure.

The soup dumpling wrappers are a little thick and some have less soup than others but flavor were good. The yeung chow fried rice was a miss the fried rice was a little wet so maybe they use freshly made rice. The marinated pork slice was good in flavor but had a good bit of fat like some pieces were pure fat basically which I didn't like. The scallion pancake was okay it was a little thick so I didn't like it much. The pork chop with rice cake had good flavor and was probably my favorite The place inside is not big because but was nicely decorated and the staff was okay they weren't very attentive and never ask us about how was everything the only time we saw them was when we order, when we get our food, and when we pay.
