Modern, inventive food in a restored old building surrounded by works of art. The was the best food we found in town. I cannot understand the other comments about the poor service - it was excellent.

I travel to Penang frequently and I always stay at Straights Collection and take all my meals at Chinahouse. I have been there by now at least 5 times and it is a great place - one of the best in Malaysia, that is for sure! The atmosphere is great, the food has never disappointed me, neither the service.

If u lookin 4a taste of old Georgetown taste, this would be a place. A typical of a fab of colonial dining atmosphere, China House would be the place. But a major tun off would be the service.

We had a dinner in this stylish restaurant. It is an amazing building with many different outlets under 1 roof (exhibition areas, lounge area, restaurant, coffee house and even a nice garden area) and is extremely well decorated. As we know the chef from his former place in Langkawi it was not a surprise that the food was as delicious... More
