    Roti canai is a must try !chicken was juicy and flavorful . We also had Thai fried rice chicken and mango tofu. Mango tofu was on sweeter side with a little spice. Overall good food. Service was fast and place was clean. Lots of options for vegetarians.

    Best Thai food around this area. This was my first time here and everything tastes so good and delicious. Great to hear their recommendations, they dint disappoint me. Excellent ambiance and quick services. I ordered something and it was dry, bland to my taste and the manager politely replaced with a new dish. My favorite dish were roti canai, spring rolls, fried icecream and my most fav is drunken noodles♥️

    Excellent food and great service. Roti canai and Roti telur is my favorite. It’s a must try! We also ordered Penang satay chicken and basil chicken fried rice which was too good. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Certain foods, like noodles, hearty greens such as cabbage, and lentils, symbolize good fortune in the new year. After downing some bubbly and sweet treats on New Year's Eve, my partner, our friends and I started 2023 off right with some New Year's good-luck foods promising wealth, prosperity and good fortune. In many Asian countries, people eat long noodles on New Year's Day to lengthen their life which we decided to come to our friend’s establishment located in East Hanover. Called ahead to Penang Malaysian Thai restaurant making a reservation for an early dinner tonight. We were greeted by the staff and the owner, Hook. When one looks at their menu, it’s a mixture of Malaysian 🇲🇾 and Thai 🇹🇭cuisine. For starters, we decided on our go-to Roti Canei (all-time favorite Malaysian crispy indian style pancake served with curry chicken as dipping sauce, Penang Satay (marinated beef on skewers served with peanut sauce) and the Thai spring rolls (deep fried rolls stuffed with cabbage, bean thread, carrot and shrimp served with plum sauce). For entrees, we got Hokkien Char Mee )thick yellow noodles cooked in heavily a flavored soy sauce with pork, shrimp squid and vegetables, Beef Chow fun (stir fried flat noodles in special sauce with beef, scallion and bean sprouts), Seafood Pan fried noodles (Cantonese Style) consisting of Pan fried noodles in light brown egg sauce topped with seafood and vegetables, Beef with Ginger and Scallion & Malaysian Buddhist Delight consists of mixed vegetables with bean curd skin and chinese mushrooms in a chef's special sauce. All dishes were authentic, tasty and delicious but the beef with ginger could have used a bit more soy sauce. The portions were big for a reasonable price. We continue to recommend this place.

    I really want to like this place. I mean some of the dishes are good but order their Hainanese Chicken for take out this time. I got home I was like, really. You gave me left over chicken from I don’t no where. Below is the picture of the chicken. All the chicken has no skin, looks like left over from another dish. If the owner of this restaurant is reading this please tell your kitchen if you don’t have anymore Hainanese Chicken just let the customer know. I can order something else.

    Was back here yesterday with my hubby and 2 older friends. (our food buddy’s) This restaurant doesn’t disappoints your cravings for Asian foods. My family and friends have been going to this restaurant since I can remember. Food is delicious, like a home cooked food and the service is fast and the waiters/ waitresses are all very friendly. I am not a fan of curry, but I can eat their Roti Canai for starter’s. 😋😋😋 Forgot to take a photo coz just eager to start eating. 🤣🫢

    Came here around 11:30 while my tires were being installed at Costco for lunch with my girlfriend. She had the iced Malaysian lychee drink with pad Thai noodles and chicken & I had the basil rice with chicken with Malaysian iced coffee. The coffee was soooo good!! The staff was attentive & helpful when ordering and had great suggestions. I usually have their pad Thai fried rice but today I wanted to try something new. The staff suggested basil fried rice with chicken, it was very tasty. Now onto dessert lastly my girlfriend ordered mango rice and we shared it. My taste buds were so happy!! I loved the texture of the rice and the mango well put together. Always great ordering from here whether it's to go or sitting in love the food and experience.

    This was our first time here and we loved the food! The Roti canai is a must try. It was SO good! The Kari sayur was another favourite. You do have to order rice separately. The Mango tofu was delicious but a li'l on the sweeter side. Overall a great experience and we can't wait to try more dishes here.

    One of the best Malaysian/thai place I ve been too in a long long time. I am from Jersey City and this restaurant beats every Malaysian/Thai place here. The staff is very nice here, they have plenty of seating both indoor and outdoors. We are both vegetarian so we ordered Kari Sayur and veg Penang char Kway Teow. Both the dishes were really good but Kari Sayur is hands down the winner. Definitely returning here to try other dishes

    The menu has a wide variety of items. The mango salad was delicious and spicy, a must try. The food was pretty good and portions were nice. Unfortunately the staff were rushing us to order and finish up in the evening. It is BYOB!

    Gloriously prepared, delicious, fresh, perfectly spiced, wonderfully presented. Treated like a special guest by a very caring and friendly staff. We ordered many different dishes and couldn't decide what we liked best... One better than the other. Generous portions meant we had much more to take home. Mango salad, achat, steamed whole fish, Kari sayur was really flavorful and fragrant. We started with the Thai lettuce wraps with peanut sauce and substituted tofu for the chicken... So good. Even the hot tea was memorable. Please make sure that Penang stays busy... A real gem of a restaurant. Thanks for your hospitality Penang!!!

    Mouth watering and super tasty dishes, full of spice & sauce. I have been waiting to visit this Penang for months (since it 45 mins away), finally got a chance to stop by for Sunday lunch. As bonus, we got to try the Lunar New Ywar special menu as well. The restaurant is not very big, but decorated beautifully, and really good service. It gets super busy are noon. I started with my favs, roti canai and Tom yum soup. The roti was soft and canai had really good curry. Tom yum had the perfect lemongrass kick and spice with lots of seafood ingredients. We got the Grand Jackpot (crispy shrimp from LNY menu), beef rendang and eggplant basil for entree. The shrimp were huge in Grand Jackpot, though it wasn't to my liking. But I loved rendang and eggplant basil. The beef was so moist paired with amazing paste and curry. The basil complemented the eggplants, mixed with onion & pepper. I was not a fan of Penang, but this visit has totally flipped me. I'll keep looking for excuses to visit this Penang more often.
