Beef Rendang is sooo delicious. You can't go wrong with anything at Penang. Malaysian Iced Tea and Iced Coffee are both wonderful as well !
Best Malaysian food in town , try all the signature dishes (roti canai , Hainanese chicken , nasi lemak , laksa ...) Very good price. Plenty of seating space.
get the roti canai appetizer (light, airy naan-like bread with curry sauce for dipping ) and nasi lemak (curry chicken with coconut rice combo)
Nasi Lemak (image below) is great. Good place to get your homesick bugs away and feels much better with Kopi-bing (iced coffee w/ condensed milk ).
Couldn't squeeze time to dine here so had takeaway char koay teow instead. It was fettucine pasta . Thin bean sprouts . Small shrimp . Miss the lard and searing wok work. OK-ish. Will try the rest
Oh this is gooooood! Try anything seafood ! Appetizer mixed plate is great, so are soups and curry . Green curry is superb
Roti canai , Malaysian iced tea , chicken satay , chicken or coconut rice , beef rendang , chow kueh two, nasi lemak . 4/5
We have been coming here for over 10 years. Try the steamed ginger fish , Malaysian style ribs and coconut drink .
Truly authentic malay cuisine . Get the nasi lemak with curried tender chicken . Oyster omelette and asparagus in XO sauce are good too.
Far cry from Malaysian-as-I-know-it. Menu has 75% straight up Chinese items. My Bahasa is pretty limited but trying to order atjar, soto ayam, krupuk, or sambal oelek was met with blank stares here ????
Amazing Malaysian cuisine - however found the nasi lemak to be more westernised than authentic . The char kuew teow or Hokkien Mee were excellent. Also the roti canai and murtabak were very good.
They have such a huge selection of entrees. Definitely try the Indian pancake when you come here. Their red bean shake use to be good.
Best meal in Boston ever! Get the chicken , rice , and mango shrimp . Can't go wrong. I might just move to Boston for this place. This means a lot since I'm from Los Angeles. But still go Lakers!
The Malaysian ice coffee is delicious! Solid but not outstanding food.
肉骨茶 Bak Kut Teh (Chinese herb with pig feet, stomach & fatty pork )
Roti Canai is hands down the best. Seafood with crispy noodle , Hainanese chicken and Beef Rendang are among my favorite. On hot summer day, cool it off with ABC - shaved ice with syrup .
Go Family style : Doing several apps and a large shared soup is the best way to sample so many amazing dishes.
Classic place in Boston. It's been around forever. Pretty good roti
Best veggie pad Thai in Boston! The place is pretty decked out too. Good for date night
You can't go wrong with any items on the menu here. Everything is super good. The only downside is the attitude of the staff .
Roti canai , hainamese chicken rice , beef rendang & kangkung belachan are my fav! Best place to go when you are really hungry, very fast service ! Unfriendly staff :(
Green beans in shrimp paste sauce were excellent
Roti Canai is the bomb - a must try!
Loved the roti telur. Nasi Lemak was without peanuts .
Roti canal art the best.
Lots of selections, everything looks delicious!
Get the roti canai and the mango chicken with a side of rice . You won't be disappointed!
#2 fried noodle dish, amazing!
Advisory: pineapple fried rice served in actual pineapple . May cause giddiness, elation, and subsequent food coma.
order a refreshing glass of fresh coconut water - indian pancake and mee siam - soooo good!
Roti Kanai is good but other than that the remaining stuff is average compared to Penang in NJ and Philly!
Roti canai , coconut shrimp (no shell) and Hainanse chicken ~
The watercress rocks as does the mango sticky rice
There was something in our appetizer that was insanely spicy , so much that I couldn't taste my entree for about 15 minutes after.
Meh. Rendang was a bit watery and weak. My friends' curries were similarly lacking in flavor. Perhaps they neuter it for a western audience; not up to the standard I experienced in Malaysia.
Diners in appearance are 1/3 Far East, 1/3 south Asian, 1/3 European, like in Singapore.
Homey Malaysian fusion dishes
One of the few places you can find Hainanese chicken rice
This is home!!! Finally able to taste food from home♥
The roti canai was good! The mango chicken tasted like sweet & sour chicken .
Tolerable facsimile of Malaysian food . (claimer: I'm Malaysian-Singaporean). Popiah . 3.25/5. Too bland. Needs more lap cheong or tauhu. Beef rendang . 3.75/5. Too tough, too much coconut milk in beef .
Noodles with oyster sauce can get it.
Murtabak & Mee Siam is great!
Roti kanai and chicken curry with rice is really good.
Try the Pad Thai and roti canai .
You can't miss their roti canai !
Pad thai .. too good!!
Try the Roti cani!
Roti canai & curry chicken best dishes!!
Hell yeah: No wait at lunch during the week.
Good food and really inexpensive, especially for generous seafood offerings. - Stephanie Orme
Absolutely WILD Asian Fusion. The Double Chin Fried Rice with craisins was amazing. Rather cheap too: Rice $10, Beers $4. Definitely try their exquisite cocktails and desserts too! - Stephen Smart
Can't go wrong here! Two different menus (with many of the same items on both) for lunch and dinner. Reasonably priced for an all you can eat hot pot buffet. Beef Tongue (front) is very good. - Robert Vice
Love this place on a weekday afternoon! Big, comfy, and air conditioned! - Enrico Manalo
Great venue to watch a ballet. I've sat in almost every section & never a bad seat. I love all the the marble work & chrystal chandeliers. Gorgeous theatre. They also check ALL bags at the doors. - Cameron Ryan
Love their bubble tea after dim sum. The line can be a little long but the service is quick. - Steph Katrina
