This is our favorite place for Roti Canai appetizer. Always delicious. Their Satay Tofu is so creative and delicious. We also like beef in black bean sauce, or pepper sauce, chicken or tofu with mango, and vegetable fried rice. And here is the issue; any restaurant is only as good as their food being prepared consistently. And last time we went it was not. The vegetable fried rice was totally different texture and taste. It was awful. The beef black been sauce dish did not taste fresh. Also, it is time to deep clean this restaurant. The light fixtures above tables are gross. Spider was walking on a table. I hope owners read this review and take care of their kitchen and restaurant so we can keep supporting their business.

Food is good but time to get Penang Malaysian & Thai Cuisine is a culinary gem that transports diners on a flavorful journey through the vibrant cuisines of Malaysia and Thailand. Located in the heart of the city, this restaurant has garnered widespread acclaim for its authentic dishes, inviting ambiance, and exceptional service. From the moment you step inside, the aroma of aromatic spices and sizzling woks fills the air, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu boasts a diverse selection of Malaysian and Thai delicacies, each crafted with precision and care to capture the true essence of Southeast Asian cuisine. One of the restaurant's standout dishes is the iconic Penang Curry, a fragrant blend of coconut milk, lemongrass, and spices, simmered to perfection with tender chicken or beef. Another crowd favorite is the Pad Thai, a classic Thai stir-fry dish featuring rice noodles, tofu, shrimp, and peanuts, tossed in a tangy tamarind sauce. For those craving Malaysian flavors, the Nasi Lemak is a must-try dish, featuring coconut rice served with crispy fried chicken, anchovies, peanuts, and a spicy sambal sauce. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, balancing sweetness, heat, and umami in perfect harmony. In addition to its delectable mains, Penang Malaysian & Thai Cuisine also offers a tempting selection of appetizers, soups, and desserts. Diners rave about the crispy spring rolls, refreshing Tom Yum soup, and decadent mango sticky rice, each dish bursting with authentic flavors and textures. Complementing the exceptional cuisine is the restaurant's warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with elegant décor and attentive service.

Been here for over 20yrs. Service used to be nonexistent . However they are recently trying to improve. But it have been awkward. He is too focus on socializing end up saying and doing inappropriate things. "Goodbye my homie" is culturally inappropriate. "How's it hanging? " inappropriate way to greet a customer. Even go as far as making a comment about the size of the person. What he looks like does not matter. We come here to eat. Just keep it professional. Hand feed a kid food that just came out that is steaming hot is unacceptable. How do you know if the parents are okay with you doing that to their kid? That is crossing the line. Never check if all the food that was ordered have been received. So busy socializing and fail to realize missing dishes, or rice and or extra bowls. They need to understand what good service entails. Management need to do better with training. The food is the ONLY reason I keep coming back. The food are amazing.

We have dined here over the years when we craved authentic Malaysian food. Roti Canai (Indian bread) was a popular appetizer. It was thin and crispy. Hainanese Chicken Rice had tender chicken and flavorful rice, but its portion size had gotten very small. So we now ordered Half Hainanese Chicken instead, plus a bowl of chicken flavored rice. Penang Char Kway Teow (fried rice noodles) was our favorite noodle dish. If you like tofu, try the Penang Tofu. Its tofu was silky and cooked in lobster sauce with Bay scallops and mushrooms.

As good as it was 25 years ago when my college roommate and I scraped together some money to get something other than grease trucks food. Service was a little slow this last visit but still a very satisfying experience.

Very authentic Malaysian cuisine. The service was fabulous and friendly. Prices are normal for 2024. The flavors of the sauces were spot on. I'd recommend the rotimcanai, chicken rice, and pad Thai. Will recommend more after the next visit. They are that good! Parking: 12 spots in front, another 6 on the side, plus the back with plenty.
