Penang - Atlanta

Friendly place, good food, but vegetarian difficult. We really enjoy this place. The owner and staff are all very nice. Service is moderate pace, and the food is very good. The Nasi Lemak is very tasty. We as a couple have since gone vegetaraian, and I wish there was more than a few vegetarian selections. <br/ <br/ They have a note on the menu that nearly all dishes can be made vegetarian, and when I requested this, the server didn't know what i was talking about. When I showed her the note, she it was only for the noodle dishes but they would still charge for the meat.<br/ <br/ We love the decor though!

Pretty Good. The decor is a bit over the top. It tries to make you feel like you're in an Asian village or something with the bamboo hut decorations. I kind of like it, though. The service was friendly and fast. During my whole time there one of the servers was singing in the kitchen in her native tongue which I thought was pretty cool.I decided to start with the Roti Canai. This was my first time having Malaysian food so I didn't know what to expect exactly. It was basically a large, thin, tortilla-like thing with a bowl of potato and beef curry. I'm not sure how you're supposed to eat it, but I just tore off bits of the the tortilla and dunked it in the bowl. I then ate the leftover curry like a soup when the tortilla was gone. The curry had some good flavor to it and the tortilla was ok. I read that Roti Canai is supposed to be a flat bread, but I don't think this version resembled that.I then went with the Beef Rendang for my main course. This was really good and spicy, exactly what I was wanting at the moment! It came with a side of steamed rice that I covered with the Beef Rendang and ate it that way. This had lots of flavor and heat; both temperature-wise and spice-wise.This place wasn't bad at all and I could definitely see myself eating here again. I did notice that all the customers were white people, which for an ethnic restaurant on Buford Highway is rather strange, but that's just an observation and doesn't really mean anything. I enjoyed it and that's all that matters to me!

Buford vs Kennesaw. Between this location and Kennesaw, this one is the winner.

Love this place! Just had roti canai, sarong burong and beef rendang. Ahhhmazing. Please try the sarong burong: mild flavorful brown sauce (good even for those intimidated by asian spice)but the magic is that it comes in a fried bowl made of taro (like sweet potato, still has soft consistency with golden exterior) it is filled w shrimp, chicken, and vegetables. That was so creative and beautiful. Lovely people too!

Wonderful!. My wife and I ate at Penang a decade ago and thought it the most wonderful place. After a decade of hermit-like existence and following the kids' leads on restaurants, we finally got back there to eat again just last weekend, and were blown away by wonderful hospitality and some of the best food we've ever eaten. It was a wonderful experience, and I thoroughly and unreservedly recommend it.
