I was at Penang last weekend, and I must say that the food was outstanding. It was very interesting, very different from Chinese or Indian. It was kinda in between those two though, but with alot of Mango and Coconut. Would definatley reccomend it. FIVE STARS!

The food is incredibly over priced.The chef probably does not have a good inclination of how to cook and blend the spices. The food was tasteless.The vegetables were not fresh and most of them tasted like canned vegetables.I would not recommend this restaurant even over any fast food place.

the Satay Tofu was GREAT! Big fan of Penang in Philadelphia,
this doesnt come close. it is pretty, and decorated nicely, but fails
to reach the standards the Chinatown location has set. The staff is
helpful and willing to please, but the chef needs to spend time
working on perfecting the food.
For a NJ restaraunt it is FAR superior to ANYHING in the Cherry Hill-
Marlton region.

This was my first time for Malaysian food. The spices are hot and complex like Indian but the ingredients are more Chinese. The coconut rice was amazing - lots of fresh veggies. The curry beef noodle soup was HOT and delicious. The prices are very reasonable so not sure what the hater was talking about. Fast and friendly service, too.

I'm not sure what skyline is talking about, our first time there tonight, the food was hot, fresh, and tasty. The wait staff incredibly friendly. 5-stars +

Oh, and Vomit, just plain childish and dumb!

Penang is fabulous, I've eaten there several times. It's considered Asian Infusion.

I agree with vomit except that they have a way with roasted dog too. Tastes like chicken. And if you get sick, they got this fountain you can let loose in. Talk about being prepared.
PS (The food is really good actually. The menu very interesting......especially the dog livers.)

Ate there last week. Yawn ho-humm! Nothing special to write home about here folks. I put them overall on the same level food quality and service as are the many regional Chinese Buffet all-you-can-eat places. Only difference is at Penang you pay three to four times the price for the same food and service. Best you save yourself alot of money people and eat at the Chinese Buffet place instead.

I don't know what or where you ate, but I loved the food. I spent four years living with someone from Malaysia, and his mother's cooking was very similar.
Sorry
