You can’t go wrong with Penang. Because I miss the one in Boston, this is the closest one to me here in NJ. My favorite is the Golden Squid (which reminds me of my good old college days), and my kids enjoyed the pineapple fried rice and pad thai.

I really want to like this place. I mean some of the dishes are good but order their Hainanese Chicken for take out this time. I got home I was like, really. You gave me left over chicken from I don’t no where. Below is the picture of the chicken. All the chicken has no skin, looks like left over from another dish. If the owner of this restaurant is reading this please tell your kitchen if you don’t have anymore Hainanese Chicken just let the customer know. I can order something else.

Came here around 11:30 while my tires were being installed at Costco for lunch with my girlfriend. She had the iced Malaysian lychee drink with pad Thai noodles and chicken & I had the basil rice with chicken with Malaysian iced coffee. The coffee was soooo good!! The staff was attentive & helpful when ordering and had great suggestions. I usually have their pad Thai fried rice but today I wanted to try something new. The staff suggested basil fried rice with chicken, it was very tasty.

Certain foods, like noodles, hearty greens such as cabbage, and lentils, symbolize good fortune in the new year. After downing some bubbly and sweet treats on New Year’s Eve, my partner, our friends and I started 2023 off right with some New Year’s good-luck foods promising wealth, prosperity and good fortune. In many Asian countries, people eat long noodles on New Year’s Day to lengthen their life which we decided to come to our friend’s establishment located in East Hanover. Called ahead to Penang Malaysian Thai restaurant making a reservation for an early dinner tonight. We were greeted by the staff and the owner, Hook. When one looks at their menu, it’s a mixture of Malaysian and Thai cuisine. For starters, we decided on our go-to Roti Canei (all-time favorite Malaysian crispy indian style pancake served with curry chicken as dipping sauce, Penang Satay (marinated beef on skewers served with peanut sauce) and the Thai spring rolls (deep fried rolls stuffed with cabbage, bean thread, carrot and shrimp served with plum sauce). For entrees, we got Hokkien Char Mee )thick yellow noodles cooked in heavily a flavored soy sauce with pork, shrimp squid and vegetables, Beef Chow fun (stir fried flat noodles in special sauce with beef, scallion and bean sprouts), Seafood Pan fried noodles (Cantonese Style) consisting of Pan fried noodles in light brown egg sauce topped with seafood and vegetables, Beef with Ginger and Scallion & Malaysian Buddhist Delight consists of mixed vegetables with bean curd skin and chinese mushrooms in a chef’s special sauce. All dishes were authentic, tasty and delicious but the beef with ginger could have used a bit more soy sauce. The portions were big for a reasonable price. We continue to recommend this place.

The menu has a wide variety of items. The mango salad was delicious and spicy, a must try. The food was pretty good and portions were nice. Unfortunately the staff were rushing us to order and finish up in the evening.
