Reviews for Penang Malaysian Cuisine in West Covina, CA
Lots of SE Asian dishes here. I am from Singapore so can provide some comparisons. Beef Rendang was very flavorful. Not as spicy... as some places such as the Indonesian restaurant Banana Leaf in Temple City. The meat was soft so I liked this. The Beef Rendangat PanAsia on Garfield is bad when compared to Penang Malaysian Cuisine's or Banana Leaf's. 2nd dish tried was Sambal Sotong(squid). The sambal was excellent. The sotong was not tough. Nicely balanced, not too spicy, and allows the sambal flavor tocome through. The baby oyster omelet is done in light soy sauce. I can't tell if it is fish sauce. This is like ???not the onewith tapioca flour??. So far I haven't found any restaurant doing??around the Los Angeles area so I'll continue frying my own.Next time I try other dishes there I'll update. Read more
I know Malaysian food very well (I have lived in Malaysia ) and i have to say the food received today was not authentic at all.... It was definitely missing some key ingredients. Even my friends dish was off the mark. Not only that, we asked for thespicyness of the dish to be hot and it was just mild. We were the only ones in the restaurant and our food took quite long tocome. The plus side is that i think they did a good job with the drinks the; Malaysian teas were good. Read more
Almost 5 stars... The food is absolutely amazing and has the traditional Malaysian taste. The ambiance is kinda outdated.... Otherwise I gave it the full 5 stars. Food wise it deserves 5 stars :) Read more
Good food just a bit of slow service
Decent food for a very long wait. Had to stay there for 1 hour or so for just the first dish to arrive. After about 2 hours, I... finally got all of the food I ordered. Then the bill was about $145 for such a long wait for okay food. Pros: Decentfood. Cons: Very long wait. Expensive. Very bad place, would never come here again. Read more
