Definitely worth trying if you're ever in Chinatown!Starting with a Roti Canai should always be the first thing! The roti hit the spot, curry was a bit watered down and could have gotten more flavor if it was more viscous. Otherwise, the roti canai was delicious and again would recommend having it to start for an appetizer.The sambal shrimp was really flavorful, definitely a good ratio of veggies to shrimp and vice versa, and the sambal gave it good flavor. Could have been a little spicier, but still was delicious.Overall, I would definitely recommend checking Penang out when in Chinatown, Malaysian cuisine is definitely a must try if you haven't had it and would suggest that you try Penang when in Boston ?

Great food. Highly recommend the Nasi Lemak. It is a traditional Malaysian chicken curry comes with a side of anchovy salad and coconut rice.

The food was delicious and decent for the price. The curry with the roti was a little bit watery but the roti was great. We also got the watercress and it was very well seasoned. Utensils and cups are disposable plastic (maybe because covid?). Would come back here

I love this place. This reminds me of Asia hometown. Food was quick, reasonable price (chicken and rice dish was only $10) and delicious. I love it and will come back to try other dishes!

Decently priced Malaysian cuisine in Boston’s China town. Great location and ambience. Fast service. Recommended.

We are from Malaysia so we are a bit bias. Not really authentic Penang food. Far from it. The chow kuey teow was without Chinese sausage, pork lard, fish cake and very little egg. The lobak has no meat inside, the prawn cake has no prawn, just thick flour. The oyster pancake was just fried egg with oyster. The sauce is all wrong. Sweet sauce for oyster egg?? Durian shake is their own invention so I guess I can’t comment on its authenticity. Disappointed.

This place is pretty good for Boston Asian standards. Not quite the same as in Malaysia or Singapore but it definitely does a job in satisfying those cravings. I enjoyed the chicken rice and the peanut pancake the most from what we ordered. Also love that they have drinks from Southeast Asia!

Stopped in based on the recommendation of a friend. Despite a relatively busy evening, I was able to get a table pretty quickly. Service was pleasant and efficient. I had the Roti and the Penang Dry Curry with Chicken. The Roti and the gravy that came with it was excellent, the curry especially was just perfectly flavored. The chicken curry was also very good and paired well with a dish of coconut rice. Not too many Malaysian restaurants out there - I'd definitely recommend giving this place a shot!

The hainanese chicken there is really good. I also love penang pad thai there. There are many dishes I haven't tried yet. But I recommend to you in case you come to visit Boston, this is a great restaurant for filling your empty stomach.

Ordered the Singapore rice noodles. Nowhere does it say meat goes in the dish, nor eggs and both are in the dish. I don’t eat meat and they put pork in the dish. Very disappointed
