So authentic and delicious food!! Nasi Lemak with prawns and fried chicken were so good. And I tried their iced Malaysian coffee the best coffee so far! Perfect price for the potions. Definitely will come back.

I'm currently visiting my wife in the Bay Area, and she was craving nasi ayam, so we decided to try out this restaurant. The food tasted just like home. We ordered roti canai, chicken rice, mee goreng, and nasi lemak. My least favorite was probably the roti canai—I think it would’ve been better paired with fish curry. The highlight of the meal was definitely the mee goreng. It completely won us over and, honestly, it’s one of the best I’ve ever had—even better than most I've had back home.

Food was amazing and so flavorful! I'm Singaporean and this was my second time here and definitely not the last! We got the curry puffs, belacan fried chicken, hainanese chicken rice, char kway teow, mee goreng, and nasi lemak. Everything was so good but the stand out ones for me are the nasi lemak and mee goreng! The iced teh tarik is so good too! Jai, the owner, is so nice and friendly, and I will definitely come back to support his business!

My third time visiting this restaurant and it never disappoints! Loved how authentic each dish tastes. As a Malaysian, this is still the best Malaysian food I’ve tried here. Totally love their asam laksa and it’s a must order dish for me everytime I visit. I also love their variety in nasi kandar selection. The ambience was great and totally makes me feel like I’ve returned back to Malaysia when i walk in. Owner and workers are all very nice and friendly. Would always recommend!!

This is great Penang food. I have been here a few times. As a 6 ft talk white guy, the lady at the register was a little amazed I liked the Penang Laksa. She triple verified that I like this type as it is sour and strong fish flavor. Last time I was here I called ahead a the chef was nice to make me a special order that I requested. Great guy and loves to smiles on people's faces with authentic Penang food. They also had a side dessert from local bakery, Pandan Chiffon Cake. Yummy

This is my Malaysian family’s favorite Malaysian restaurant. The food is delicious and authentic. Jai is a passionate chef, frequently bringing new dishes to the menu and curating special dining events, like a recent AYCE Penang Hawker Food Fest. On top of that, it’s incredible how he’s created a community spot for Malaysians and Singaporeans (some even driving from 4 hours away for his food). Some of my favorite dishes here over the years: -Penang Assam Laksa (not to be confused with curry laksa) -Char Koay Teow (fried noodles) -Char Koay Kak (fried rice cubes) -Belacan Fried Chicken -Penang LoBak -Roti Canai

Friendly restaurant serving authentic Malaysian food: very flavorful and spicy food, the atmosphere is relaxed and practical. Service was excellent, fast and everything very clean. They are also optimized for takeout. I had Penang Asam Laksa and it was wonderful, exactly as I remembered it! We also had a Nasi Kandar with grilled chicken (so tasty!) and Nasi Lemak with lamb rendang, also excellent! Highly recommended for anyone looking for real, comfort Malaysian food with fresh and quality ingredients.

Really good Malaysian restaurant. Good food and big quantity. Just FYI the Laksa soup is not the creamy laksa Singaporean soup. It’s a tangy fish based soup. I highly recommend the Mee goreng. Also wanted to add the owner is the sweetest. My friend wanted to try the Laksa but was unsure... he even gave her some of the broth to try.
