Met my friend for lunch and bring her first time she asked me to pick my faves. Roti cani - large thin flat wheat bread cooked on a hot flat surface then folded and served with a side of chicken curry to dip. So delicious! Main course s of chicken curry in a hot clay pot - taste the sweet coconut milk and the hot spice that's subtle but the wows your taste buds! Fried squid with chilis so light and crunchy. Beef rang dang - my favorite has a delicious rub of spice and tender beef cubes. Service is fast and the staff are super helpful and friendly. I could eat here every week - guess what I'm going again this weekend with another friend!

Restaurant was busy but not too crowded. The decorations were plain and forgettable. Even the servers were lackluster. However I came for the food and left satisfied. The home made roti canai was excellent. The soft roti enhanced the flavorful chicken curry.

Stopped by and got some roti chanai to go. Place was pretty busy (6pm) when I arrived. Food came out pretty quick and I will come back for the Nasi Lemak!

As a first time consumer of Malaysian cuisine, I was absolutely blown away by the flavors that Penang packs into their food. Started off with some roti with chicken curry and I was already floored! All the meat was cooked to perfection, to the point where they were falling off the bone and we absolutely annihilated the dishes. Service was impeccable and food came out ridiculously fast. I would highly recommend trying some of their Malaysian and Indonesian dishes over the Chinese dishes as I truly feel like that's what they excelled at. I cannot recommend this spot more you absolutely have to check it out if you're ever in the Chinatown area!

Visiting chinatown from outta town and stumbled upon a busy Asian restaurant. They front said they had the best appetizer in town - curry chicken roti, so had to drop in for a try. We were lucky to be seated promptly. Food came fast, service was fast, a quick paced establishment. Curry chicken roti - As an appetizer, this was impressive. Tables with more people ordered multiples of this dish. Very tasty in terms of flavour. the curry was more watery than I was used to and came with 2 potatoes and 2 pieces of chicken. The roti was the star of the show; super thin, crispy but light, buttery. Would recommend. Hainanese chicken rice - This is of the bone-in version with a bit of other variations that I am not used to. The chicken was sitting in a pool of soy sauce vinegar mix and served with a spicy vinegar sauce. It also came with a bowl of chicken oil rice. Chicken was tasty with the sauce, but the bones were a bit brittle and there were some shards shattered around the meats; a bit annoying. Did not care much for the rice. Nice to try, would not recommend again.
