Go-to lunch spot

This was my go-to lunch spot while staying in the centre of George Town. I've since found Evergreen, another buffet-style Chinese restaurant with better-tasting food a little further from the centre, but Ee Beng is definitely more than good enough if you want an affordable, healthy and palatable meal.

yummy! tons of rice!

yooo they have soooo much ricee!!😄it's amazing! I wasn't very impressed with their food mostly because it was all mock meat, salty, and oily, even the veggies were very oily. however if that is your thing come check it out tons of options! and you can never go wrong with plain steamed rice😄

Pros: Delicious rice, steamed buns, cheap

Cons: 2 oily 4 me

great value and taste

I enjoyed breakfast there one morning (instead of the boring Western breakfast at my hotel) and returned the next day for lunch. A wide variety of Malay dishes and all tasty as can be.

Malay style vegan buffet!

A huge range of dishes with mock meats, plenty of vegetables, rice, noodle and fried (spring roll style) dishes. Very reasonably priced, we paid 35 MYR for 3 adults. Delicious and refreshing fresh juices at the back too (ask for no sugar😉).

Pros: Fully vegan buffet, open early for breakfast,

Cons: None!

Delicious and dependable

This became our local shop during our stay in Penang!

Food was delicious and lots of options were available, for a very reasonable price. The mock meat dishes were all uniquely flavoured and tasted amazing so go crazy when trying it out as it will definitely be worth it!

We’d happily come back here again and recommend it to anyone!

Pros: Lots of options , Cheap, Delicious

Cons: No air conditioning

Amazing

This place is so so good. Loads of options from the buffet, and all of it was amazing. There’s actually too much to choose from, so you might want to do a few trips here if you’re in Penang for a few days! It’s so cheap as well, plus they do Pao Buns, we had the peanut one and it was very tasty! Just be aware that mock meats will push the price up, but they’re so worth and it and still works out to be cheap as!

Pros: Amazing vegan food, Cheap, Loads of options

Cons: Too much food to choose from!

all vegan buffet

i came back here twice! the food is really yummy! the more mock meat you take the more expensive it'll get!
I always paid between 7 and 11 RM.
some dishes are quite spicy...
but all in all it's very yummy and a nice change to get some cooked veggies in.

(the sweet and sour fake chicken was the best!!)

Pros: cheap, yummy, good service, fresh veggies

Cons: some dishes are super spicy or a bit too greasy

Great value

A very friendly spot that is super local and authentic. It is buffet style and you help yourself to lots of different options, Mock meats, veg, curries and rice and then pay at the cashier. The server was very friendly and confirmed there was no egg or dairy in anything. The food was all delicious and so cheap. We got 2 big plates of food, 2 bowls of curry and 2 bottles of water for only 25!

Tasty and cheap

Came here for lunch and it was quite busy, people left soon after finishing though so we were able to grab a seat. There is a lot of variety on the buffet which made it hard to choose but it's nice to get the options. I'm always a bit worried about meat alternatives in places like this but all the ones I tried were very tasty and didn't have a soggy texture like other places I've been. I was quite surprised at how flavourful and fresh tasting the food was (: the staff are very friendly and helped us get some curried steam buns, they were SO good. Really glad we came here.
They seem to price by the variety you have and the amount so it's hard to figure out how much your plate will cost before paying but ours seemed really cheap for the amount.
Lots of locals and take away option is a nice touch. If it was closer to where we were staying I'd have gone back for a take away pot for my hotel room.

Pros: Vegan, Tasty, Friendly

Große Auswahl an Essen

Alles vegetarisch und zum Teil auch veganes. Man kann sich sein Essen selbst zusammen stellen. Das Essen ist nicht scharf gewürzt und schmeckt gut

Pros: Buffet - große Auswahl , Günstiges Essen

Cons: Essen ist vorgekocht und nicht unbedingt heiss

Cheap and healthy(ish)

Had a good meal here for just 10RM. Filled up from the buffet with brown rice, broccoli, spinach, potato chips, a curry pao and two large tofu steaks.
Tasted good and there was still loads of choice at midday although food wasn’t hot (the pao was as youcollect them straight from the steamer).

Would recommend if you’re in the area and want a good filling lunch to keep you going to all day!

Pros: All vegan , Self-service , Friendly staff

Very decent buffet restaurant

I always seem to be too late for their brown rice. But other than that, it's pretty good; lots of choice, good tastes. The usual randomness with the prices, but it stays cheap. You need quite a big big plate to get to 14RM. Usually is 7 to 9RM. Not the very cleanest, but that doesn't bother me.

not much flavour, cold, manly sweet taste

Nice people and place!
I like that you can get vegan stuff here.
But food without garlic, onion misses a lot of flavour for me. Many things tasted just sweet and i don't want too much extra sugar in my food. We came around 11:40 and my noodles and thr spinach were already cold.
For some people a good choice but not for me.

Cheap buffet

I had the buffet and it was tasty and cheap.

FYI:
The mock meat thingies cost extra. I was unaware of that so I just piled everything on top of each other. The lady at the cashier had the poke around in my plate with a chopstick to figure out how much I should pay.

I would advise people to take two plates if you're going for bigger portion!
