" I had a recent dining experience at Penang Malaysian, and while the food was enjoyable, there were some hiccups in service. I ordered the curry laksa which was rich and flavorful! However, it took a long time to be served, and my waiter seemed distracted. The restaurant itself had a nice vibe, and I loved the decor. I’d visit again, hopefully when it's a little less busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a Malaysian, I was thrilled to find a restaurant that serves authentic dishes! I ordered the Nasi Lemak and was so pleased with the authentic taste. The sambal was perfect! My friend had the Beef Rendang, and it was equally delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, but the service could be improved. We experienced long wait times, which detracted slightly from the overall experience. However, I will surely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dinner at Penang! The flavors were spot on — I tried the Beef Rendang and Coconut Rice which were both deliciously rich! I can't forget to mention the Roti Canai we had as an appetizer — a must-try! The dining space was clean and nicely decorated, creating a comfortable dining experience. However, our server was rather slow; we had to request our drinks a couple of times. Regardless, this was a delightful experience, and I'm excited to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a chance to dine at Penang Malaysian recently, and it was an incredible experience! The mix of flavors in the dishes was remarkable and brought back memories of home. The ambiance was nicely set, but I found the service to be slow at times, particularly in getting our drinks. Still, the Nasi Lemak was superb, and I can't wait to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love dining at Penang Malaysian! The food is always cooked to perfection and is bursting with flavors. I tried their Satay which was one of the best I've had!

" I was excited to dine here after hearing about its authenticity, and it lived up to expectations! The flavors of the curry laksa were rich and vibrant, truly homely! The service was a bit slow, but it was worth the wait. We also tried the Roti Canai, which was flaky and delicious! The decor of the restaurant was a bit simple but cozy nonetheless. I plan to come back to explore their menu further. " (*Curated Review*)

" My wife and I tried Penang Malaysian for the first time after hearing rave reviews about their Hainanese Chicken Rice. I must say, it did not disappoint! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the chili sauce added just the right kick. The service was friendly, but we had to wait a little longer than expected for our food. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great date night spot. We can't wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
