my favorite chinatown spot
By Emma from forest park, January 15, 2008

Overall rating:
5

Penang has been my favorite restaurant in Chinatown for many years now. Unlike many other Chinatown spots where the customer is subjected to appalling service in scummy surroundings, Penang has a friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. The menu offers many unique dishes that can't be found anywhere else in the city. I go to Penang time and time again for great Asian food.

One of the worst dining experiences of my life. Waited about an hour for a table. My husband got his dinner first while my friend and I waited on our entrees...and waited, and waited. We kept being told it would only be a few more minutes. Finally we asked our waitress to see how much longer we would have to wait she came back telling us it would be another 15 minutes. By this time my husband finished his dinner so we just asked for our check and left. Will never go back to this place again.

As a malaysian I was looking for some good food. Very disappointed with the menu. What is japanese food doing at a malaysian restaurant. If you go to the real island of Penang you will not find food like this.

Food was good. Price was good. But the service stunk. I had to yell at my waitress to place my order. Normally I walk out of place if they have come by after the first 10 minutes but I was too hungry and it was too cold out. It was worth it though. I will be coming back though there so many other types of food at other tables that look so good.
