We love a good Laksa so decided to try this restaurant. It's not the most appealing place but the…read moreservice is pleasant. We tried the Seafood Laksa 6/10 and the Hainanese Chicken Rice 6/10 both tasty and ample. I like my Laksa with a little more coconut milk that's why it rated low but the flavour was good. The Hainanese Chicken Rice was not bad but lacked a little zing which with a bit more chilly ginger coriander and garlic sides could have been rated a lot higher. The bill came to just over $23. Unbelievable value.

This time I had the Hunan Chix and Laksa. The Hunan Chix was absolutely delicious. It's like cold ginger chix topped with green onions but Hunan is warm with s refreshing salsa. The Laksa is consistently good. Bring cash because you can't split the bill. David's actually on Liverpool St. in the Shark building.

In name perhaps but certainly not in taste. Although the service was friendly and fast, I think the food didn't quite meet our expectations. I ordered the chicken satay, roti Canai, and Penang Har Mee. The chicken satay was covered with a peanut sauce that was like peanut butter! And the Penang prawn Mee was no where like anything from Penang. Plus the roti was of the frozen type. I don't think we will be coming back to this one. Although the store itself was ok, with an unassuming ambiance. Perhaps it was no wonder that it was pretty much empty at dinner time with just one other table occupied. With the amount of Malaysian food choices in the area, I am not sure how long this place will last...

Too deep? Sorry... Penang Cuisine is a super casual, super family run Malaysian kind of a place. Come around 3pm and you'll see the kid doing her homework with the mother and the grandmother helping. Adorable. The sign on the door says there is a gap between 2.30pm and 5.30pm when lunch finishes and dinner starts but we arrived at 3 and they still served us. We were the only people in there. I got Beef Rendang $17 and Billy got Laksa $12. The Rendang was ok. It didn't have strong flavours but I did have a cold which makes me realise now I'm a pretty bad person to be reviewing food... I tried the Laksa "for scientific purposes". All I can say is "OH MY GOD!! Where have you been all my life?? Who knew Epping could do such good Laksa?? Epping?? It's the burbs, the serious burbs. How has this deliciousness been in my backyard all this time and I didn't know??" So yeah, the Laksa is good. It has fish cakes in it. The only thing that could earn this place that final star is the roti. Frozen roti. Also makes you nostalgic for those times your mum was making quiche and you snuck some raw pampers pastry and felt sick but didn't want to say why. What? You didn't do that? Oh,ok. Fresh roti would be the ultimate.

We don't have a lot of Malaysian options in Vegas that seem authentic so I jump at the chance to have food like this whenever I can. I opted for the laksa with fried chicken and I wasn't disappointed. The fried chicken was juicy and really flavorful. The broth was lovely and authentic. The noodles were bountiful but the veggies were not. Sometimes the veg is my fave part so that made me a bit sad. Luckily, my partner isn't a veg fan and gave me the bok choy off of his plate. YUM! I got an order of roti myself because the Malay version is my absolute favorite. This one did not disappoint. Crispy, savory, tasty and oily in just the right way. We also had the roti platter with curry chicken. Really good. I love the sambal that's peanut and ikan bilis (fried fishies).

She motioned her hand as if to go away and said "no beef" as she turned away. She didn't stay at the register to politely apologize. Upset at the type of customer service provided.

Great Malaysian food in Chatswood food court? I hardly believe it myself. I would highly recommend…read moretrying this place if you are walking around Chatswood and not sure of where you would like to go. The menu has a good range of options. We opted for the following three items and enjoyed them all; 1. Penang Char Kuey Teow ($12) - classic stir fried noodle dish was very tasty. Probably 8/10 of all the variants of this dish I've tried. You would be hard pressed to find better noodles in the food court area. The spoon of Sambal on the side gives you the option of kicking up the heat. 2. Chicken Laksa ($11) - I'm a laksa snob and I've got some pretty high standards when it comes to Laksa. I can say that I was happily surprised by the great quality (9/10). I am often worried about ordering laksa from new places and doubly so in food courts. More often than not you get some bland, coconut milk slurry that disappoints. Sedap's is actually probably one of the best I've had. I appreciated the spoon of Sambal on top and the two types of noodles. 3. Kopi Tarik (ice coffee) ($2.50) - served either hot or cold this drink is poured at a height (pulled) into a decent sizes cup. The thing I should point out is that the cup size was very generous. I've eaten at other Malaysian restaurants (cough, mamak) where you finish your drink in a few minutes. This was a proper drink that was just the right amount for how spicy the food was. I'm going to comment on two items I've read about this location (from both Yelp and Urbanspoon reviewers); - they have card/EFTPOS facilities, my server pay passed my card without issue. - it's a food court setting, so don't bitch and moan about the ambiance or problems with seating. Wake up to the fact that you are in a Westfield shopping centre. Sedap means delicious in Malay and Indonesian and I can say its a clever and truthful name. I'll be going back!

Cash only as far as I can tell but its not a big deal here because its very affordable. - AUTHENTICITY/TASTE: Assam Laksa was really good (on par with Petaling Street in Haymarket). - SERVICE: Yes, if you are "dining in" they do bring the food out to you assuming you are close by. I didn't expect that but its great when you are holding on to spots in the food court. I'd most likely come back if I'm over the other side of the bridge. Another fun fact: "Sedap" means delicious in Malay. This place lives up to its name for sure.

It was buttery and went PERFECTLY with the curry dips on the side. The service was quick and efficient; not the friendliest, but it was adequate. The prices were average for similar restaurants, as I would find out after eating at similar restaurants. Overall, would return!

It is very popular (Th, F, Sa) with a short wait time usually between 6pm - 8pm. The restaurant takes your name on a list until a spare table becomes available. Usually you don't wait more than 15 minutes for a table. There are so many Indonesian restaurants in this area, that if waiting is an issue you can usually go to another restaurant if you wish. I go to this restaurant for the Javanese Fried Chicken called Ayam Bakar. Ask for the Breast piece (Dada Bakar) $6.50. I always eat this with a serving of Cah Kangkung $10 and a serving of white rice $2. Mix these flavours together for a true Indonesian dining experience. The chilli sauce provided at your table is very hot, so use sparingly. It can be mixed with sweet brown ketchup manis sauce. Another dish to try is the Nasi Goreng. It isn't the best fried rice I have eaten, but it is still tasty. Complimentary free water in a jug is available free of charge. There are many other different cold drinks available on the menu. My favourite is Jus Alpukat - this is avocado juice with sweetened condensed milk, and streaks of chocolate syrup down the sides of the glass. This place is worth a visit if you like tasty Indonesian 'Warung' style food.
