Food is ok, not yummy. Service is fair. Will not go again. I ate thai in many NY restaurants, compare to that Penang was total disappointment. More

This restaurant is filled with Asians seeking authentic food. Spicy really means spicy here--and ask whether dishes are served on the bone, which the menu does not say. Prices are good and the food is very good. Service is fair. Decor is ok. More

Food was awesome. Service was pretty decent for a place that's always packed. But speaking of packed, they really need to expand their own parking lot. More

Flavorful, energetic, and fun cuisine at a normal pricepoint with clever interior design which pays tribute to Malay interiors. More
