This place is for locals only. I would not encourage tourists to try especially fellow Malaysians or Singaporeans. The items ordered roti canai, poh piah, prawns mee and hainanese chicken rice simply does not meet expectations. Poh piah should be removed completely from this menu.

Really wonderful decor inside, and lovely staff, but honestly the food was a bit mid. Left a lot to be desired. Quite basic, plain flavours. The peanut sauce with the satay was flat, and the onions or shallots were distracting. The noodles were low dimensional and slightly watery. The nasi goreng tasted too much of smoked soy or kecap manis. All-in-all okay, but if you've only got one shot at eating in Boston's Chinatown, as much as I loved the decor and folks working there, I would advise other places for their food.

I was surprised find Malaysia restaurant in Boston downtown. Good food, good atmosphere, and good service. Roti was very good.

Very sweet people, came on a bad time on a bad day where the snow is high and the wind is strong. Food was amazing I got the dried curry chicken and the roti canal. Very fiery flavorful and strong. Perfect for what I wanted!

This long-time favorite is still good, but the cooking doesn't seem as inspired as it used to be. The India-style bread seems a bit blander than before. The laksa seems to have its reciped changed in recent years to a (more authentic) sour taste, but one which many customers may not enjoy as much -- could a choice be offered?

First trying Malaysian Food was amazing and surprisingly that they have combination set. This is valuable and a good try for people who want try the food.
Next time would try the Roti which the server suggested.

Penang now offers lunch sets and combination sets! We ordered the combination set, which included string bean with shrimp, spareribs, and curry chicken with a free white rice. It only cost $39.99! It was really worth it!

At first we order Homemade roticanai to start, then we having the combination set! The atmosphere was really chill and nice, the server was really kind and helpful. You guys must try!!!!

Ordered from this spot multiple times, food comes out fresh every time, tastes great, seasoned just right, and packed carefully!

Solid Malaysian food in a nice atmosphere. There was no wait here during a weekday around 6PM. Service was fast, efficient, and friendly, food was good and portions were very generous for the price. I would visit again when in Boston.
