For some reason, the Penang in New York is much nicer than the one in NJ (in terms of the furnishing). I've been to both and they both have amazing food! The price is extremely reasonable and the service is great. The atmosphere is really nice and it's a great place for a family or for a couple! I recommend their Seafood Chow Fun and any of their appetizers! Don't just get water, try their Thai Ice Tea. It's simply delicious!

The service was amazing. We were seated as soon as we arrived there. The waiter made sure we our glasses were full the whole meal. With regards to the food, it was delicious! I would recommend this place to anyone hoping to have excellent Malaysian/Thai food. The Pad Thai is to unlike any other restaurant!

We look forward to our, almost weekly meal at Penang, knowing that we will have a mix of favorites and new dishes that are healthy, fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is great for dining, low lighting, quiet enough to have your own conversation, yet, a palpable energy flows through the restaurant. The staff knows the menu well and is very cordial. One feels attended to and never rushed. We always enjoy being greeted by Morgan, the Manager, whose pleasant and inviting manner sets the tone for the evening. He weaves in and around the tables ensuring that everyone is well taken care of and enjoying their evening out. Our favorite dishes are the Wonton Soup, the Rendang Rolls and the Malaysian Sweet and Sour, and don't forget the coconut rice! However, whenever we venture into other dishes in their extensive menu we have always enjoyed them as well. Finally, Lunch Specials are both delicious, generous in size and inexpensive.
