Penang Road is an absolute gem! The laksa was to die for—rich, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. Every spoonful was a delight! The service was incredibly friendly and fast, making the whole experience even better. On top of that, the prices were very, very reasonable. Amazing food, great service, and fantastic value—what more could you ask for? I’ll definitely be coming back!

This restaurant in South Melbourne is like a home to us, with all their staff including the kitchen crew mingling with us like a family. They’d even ask us the reason why we’ve been too busy for few weeks but not visiting them. This truly means the world to us who support them & their dishes wholeheartedly. And yes, we love all their Malaysian dishes as always.

I’d been to Penang Road so many times over many many years, and each time the food was good and service was quick. My all time favourites were their nasi lemak with fried chicken ribs and their hainanese chicken rice. Some dishes were not as good; the beef rendang and the curry chicken that came with the roti canai, for example, seemed to be always dry, so nothing to dip the roti into. But overall, a great casual dining/takeaway option and the food was always of good value.

Cheap tasty Malaysian restaurant.
Fast friendly service.
Update 09/18: the curry laksa isn't too bad. It's creamy and quite generally portioned. Customer service had also improved since 2016. Bumping back up to 4 stars
Update 09/16: this place seems to have changed management.
The staff are a bit of hit and miss. Some are friendly and some seems to be hating life.
Foodwise the quality is still there so its such a shame to see the service level drop a little.
Also this place is cash only.
