As someone who is Malaysian - this place is pretty spot on with it's variety and authenticity of it's dishes. I ordered the curry yong tau foo and the yam basket - 10/10. Reminded me of weekends in Kuala Lumpur.

The food is delicious. I have been going to the downtown location for many years. I was happy to find they have this location as well. The menu seems to be the same, same great taste. Great price as well.

I had my first taste of Malaysian food here, and it did not disappoint! My family ordered chicken with asparagus, beef chow fun, okra, and white rice; everything tasted amazing! I ordered a longan ice drink and it tasted very sweet and unique! We also ordered bubur chacha for dessert and it was so comforting to eat!

Such a great atmosphere and INCREDIBLE food! You're going to love it, very authentic food compatible to what you would find around Penang/ Georgetown.

First time trying the restaurant and may I say WOW! Amazing place to eat/drink!! Not only was the food tender/hot/delicious tasting, the drinks were great and the atmosphere of the place was a solid 10/10! The gentleman that runs the place is super fun and nice!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone, please visit Penang in Waltham!! You won’t regret it!!!

The dry curry with squid was tasting just like what I recall from my childhood when I visit Penang! Shall be back to try another dishes.
I brought 20 people for lunch with 5mins heads up and they accommodated immediately. Contrary to our expectations, the food came out fast and everyone was happy. Huge menu. Great service. Will be back.

Experience from take out orders over 2 occasions. First time - Nasi lemak’s sambal was watery with ikan bilis soaking in the watery sambal. Second time - Chow Keuh Teow came with probably 3 shrimps, 6 SQUID HEADS with beaks, no squid body and some scrambled eggs. Flavor is far away from authentic based on the two dishes I had for take out. Only good thing is the large serving size, but for the pricing, I would prefer better flavor than the serving size.
Updated with picture of another order with “squid”, it was still only squid heads with beak.

Meh. Maybe we picked the wrong items and malay curries are better. But this was a disappointment - somehow they made pad Thai, dumplings, and spring rolls bland. We did ask for minimal heat, but I've had plenty of great pad Thai that was chock full of flavor without being spicy. Service was lightning fast... Maybe a bit more time would improve the food.

Very good Malaysian food, especially for the area. My Singaporean wife gives it an 8/10 for authenticity, but bear in mind that she is comparing it to Singapore so any differences to what she was expecting could be simply due to the difference between Singapore and Penang cooking. The Chicken Rice and Nasi Lemak were both excellent.

Food was really good and very authentic, so many Malaysian dishes on the menu I’ve never even heard of. They still have a few things to tweak to stand above an average asian hole in the wall kind of joint.
