Needed a quick but yummy supper stop en route from TN to FL, Penang was perfect at 9pm. Portions were generous and perfectly cooked. Service was very attentive and friendly-very Thai-and refreshing!

I have been eating here for several years and can honestly say it is the best. If you are a Thai food lover on the safe side, you'll never be disappointed with the Red Curry or the Pad Thai (authentic, not typical like other ketchup based Pad Thai dishes!). Their version of Sesame Chicken is light, tender, delicious and unlike... More

This is not a Chinese restaurant in the sense that most would be used to. Coming from Australia we are very much used to the South East Asian cuisine such as one would find in Singapore or Malaysia, for example. SE Asia was our vacation backyard. I was sure that when we moved to the US I would have to... More

I have been here when its slow and when its busy and except for one time the service is always fast, efficient and friendly. Prices are very reasonable (except for maybe... More

It had been ~10 years since my wife and I have been able to get away and we finally were able to have a 'date night'! Having seen this establishment start out many years ago as a Pizza Hut, transition into a Hobby Store, and finally into Penang, we decided to support them and check them out. Apparently some foodies... More

I have been coming to this Penang for the last seven or eight years and I enjoy my meals each time. This location has great service, they always remember what you had previously, and it's family owned. The Roti Cani is always fresh and a great starter before your meals. Most meals are reasonably priced and ingredients are always fresh.... More

I was staying without a car at a hotel for a week and was tired of the boring chain restaurants around me. The hotel shuttle was willing to take me to Penang, and I'm glad I went. The restaurant staff were friendly and solicitous; drinks and food arrived quickly. The atmosphere is a little funky--a kind of Asian-restaurant-meets-Gilligan's-Island thing going... More

I was on a Roadtrip from Florida to Chicago and stopped and got take out at this restaurant. I had shrimp pineapple fried rice and spring rolls. Both were delicious and the serving sizes were very large. It was surprisingly inexpensive for the amount and quality of food I got. It also only took them 10 minutes to have my... More
