    Oct 2025 menu

    4.5 stars, food tasted very good, staff was friendly. Would go back. Liked the eggplant and tofu.

    Veggie chow mein- added extra veggies to it

    The place wasn't packed when we went on a Friday evening. It really isn't a charming space for a date night or anything special. Would prefer take out next time (seems like they had more take out orders than dine in anyways). The ladies working the front desk seemed really busy because they were serving out table, taking phone orders, and handling take out. Seemed like they needed more help. Dishes were decent, not the best, but not the worst either. Chinese food is a hit or miss anyways. I would say it was still good and would come for take out next time. Quantity size was decent but not sure how it would compared to take out. The waitress also didn't do a good job serving us. We were two people and she came back with only 1 straw and set of utensils. Then took forever to bring the second set of utensils.

    Quiet, small restaurant. We were seated and served promptly. Food was good and definitely a fan of the tea. Would love to be able to order combos as an entree during dinner time. We ordered a few entrees for our group of 3 to split. One of our go to spots for good and fresh Chinese food that is well made. :)

    Eggplant with fried tofu and white rice.

    I had lunch here on a weekday. Kinda slow, few people are dining in. I ordered Eggplant with Fried Tofu on garlic sauce. Hot not spicy, just mild. It's delicious. This place is quiet and well lighted. I'm not sure if they have new owners, again.

    Seafood curry noodle soup! Just one word! Fantastic!

    Great food. Good service. My go-to Chinese restaurant. Here is their Seafood Curry Soup.

    Steamed chicken dumplings
    Anthony G.

    First time here and it was actually recommended by a sweet old lady I was speaking to on a train ride back from NYC. I bookmarked it and made sure that I would visit since it's not far from where I live and where I usually hang out. Walked in on a Thursday night and while the dining room wasn't busy, there were quite a few people waiting for their takeout orders. Dining room was clean and and well-kept and since it only had a couple of occupied tables, it was quiet. I'd imagine this place gets packed with patrons during lunch considering Metropark is within a half mile and is probably busy Friday nights too. I grabbed a takeout menu and briefly looked it over. I noticed there were no dinner combo specials and decided to double-check with the host and see if there was an incremental charge to make the lunch combo a dinner combo. Host said they do not offer dinner combos and I would have to order a quart of what I wanted. No biggie. Since I haven't had Chinese food in a while, I was craving some chicken and broccoli with white rice (I usually go with the brown but wanted some Jasmine rice), and fried/steamed chicken dumplings, which they had. Man what a great dinner! The chicken and broccoli was cooked perfectly and was still hot by the time I got home. I laid it on top of the steamed rice and enjoyed every bite. I finished the entire quart in one sitting including the steamed chicken dumplings. The chicken and broccoli was TOTALLY worth it but to be honest, I was hoping the dumplings were going to be the bigger versions stuffed with chicken. The cost of those dumplings didn't really add up and I felt like they were the wholesale club version. All-in-all I will definitely return for takeout!

    Squid and shrimp with noodles. Bean sprouts, spring onions and egg. With the flat noodles.

    Didn't have the main Malaysian foods I'm familiar with. No Nasi Lemak. No Laksa. I ordered the fried Kwai Teo. Service was fine. Decor a bit dated.

    Egg roll
    Todd C.

    I needed a quick bite to eat and went for the luncheon special: chicken and broccoli with won ton soup. The soup was rather bland with only two won tons. One look at the portion size and it was fairly decent. The rice had bits of pork and onion. My first bite into the chicken and the meat was very spongy. There was ample sauce and the value was decent (under $10 for the meal and an extra egg roll). The eggroll was average at best - a little dry. I'm not sure if the restaurant offers seating as I went during COVID and there was a table set up at the front door with menus. Since I didn't see a person out front, I had to call in my order. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again.

The char kway teow was a standout: perfectly chewy flat rice noodles with smoky wok flavor, crisp bean sprouts, and just the right balance of savory and sweet. You can taste the technique here. The roti canai was flaky, light, and beautifully layered--exactly how it should be. Paired with the curry dipping sauce, it was hard to stop tearing pieces off. We even asked for an extra small rice so we could eat the rest of the dipping sauce. We also ordered the Hainanese chicken, which was tender, juicy, and simply prepared, letting the quality of the chicken shine. The chili sauce on the side added the perfect kick. Overall, Penang feels like a go-to spot when you want comfort food that's genuinely Malaysian. Great for sharing dishes, exploring the menu, and coming back again to try more classics. Authentic, satisfying, and worth the visit.

The best dishes in my opinion were the Kangkung Belacan, Sarang Burang, and Hainanese chicken. The food overall was fresh and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. I will definitely be back! Without question.

We finally made it here after exhausting all the nearby restaurants. The restaurant is medium in size, with pale yellow walls and cushy burgundy seats covering the dark brown floors. Framed black and white photos adorn the leftmost wall while the name of the restaurant is on the rightmost wall along with a framed painting. Finally, in the back, you can see the counter, which has a lucky cat and some plants on it, as well as a large painting of pink flowers in a pond behind it all. We ordered the following: Baby oyster omelet, which has pan fried baby oyster omelet with chives- this was delicious. We haven't had this for a while and enjoyed it a lot. Golden fried eggplant, which is lightly fried eggplant with cubes of bell peppers and onions. We all liked this dish a lot, as well. It was nicely fried. Claypot egg noodle, which has pearl noodle with minced pork, shrimp, squid, bean sprout in egg gravy. We've been looking for this entree for a while. Last time Hubs had this was 15 years ago and it was 30 years ago for me. Hubs loved this dish. Basil fish filet, which is stir fried fish filet with bell peppers, onions, basil leave and mushrooms. I thought this looked sweet and sour and was surprised it wasn't. Daughter liked it a lot and was addicted. Hubs was shocked at how flavorful it was. There were plenty of onion and peppers. There is parking in the back of the building but we managed to find a parking space in the front. It's a little tricky parking there but we managed. Service was quick and minimal. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

The pork in garlic sauce had way too much sauce and was a tad sweet for our liking; it was drowning in sauce. The strings and pepper corn chicken were very good. Both had a slight touch of heat. I wish we ordered differently but overall the food was ok. Our server was very nice and attentive. We're debating coming back to try more of the menu but with so many Asian/Chinese restaurants to try in Edison, I think we'd try someplace else.
