Great options and super helpful staff!

We couldn’t read Chinese so the lady recommended us dishes based on whether or not we were vegan, wanted a dry/saucy dish, and customized the level of spiciness too. The portions were a bit small for the price, but it was very tasty local food. Great options if you’re in the area!

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, Lots of vegan options, Delicious food

A Second Visit to a Chaotic Gem

I was in the neighbourhood and decided to have breakfast here. This is the second time I've come to this place; the first time was many years ago. The environment was chaotic, with not many seating places and no air conditioning. However, amid the chaos, it was efficient. The staff were friendly and helpful. Nevertheless, I believe I can find similar food elsewhere in a less chaotic environment and with better taste.
Although it is famous, especially among the locals, it's just not my cup of tea. I wish this place success nonetheless. The presence of more vegetarian or vegan establishments is always a positive addition, contributing to a broader and more inclusive culinary landscape.

Pros: friendly and helpful staff, good value

Cons: food just ok, noisy, chaotic

Best shop for local delights

I think this is probably the best place for Penang local delights like char kway teow, wan tan noodles, oyster omelette. Note that some dishes contains eggs. Do indicate if you do not eat eggs. The char kway teow is very nice though a little wet. The "oyster" omelette is made with mushrooms substituting for oyster and is very good too.

Amazing

Three well-filled plates from the buffet lunch cost us about 30 RYM. They judge the price of the dish by eye. Everyone was super friendly and the food was incredible

Pros: Quick food, Delicious , Great price

Bad customer service when business is too good

As described in the title. No need further elaboration.

Meh..

I won’t go lower than 3 stars out of respect, but the food was unfortunately not good at all in my opinion.

Popular with Locals - says a lot

Jian Jian Vegetarian (cnr Lebuh McNair and Lebuh Tye Sin) is very popular with the locals ... which tells you so much. Go early to avoid the lunchtime rush.

All is Vegetarian (eggs can be added to certain dishes) Most is vegan. All is tasty 😋... so worth seeking out.

Run by a lovely lady (Vegetarian for over 20 years) who will explain the daily specials as well as take you through the buffet options.

Very inexpensive and filling.

Pros: Mostly Vegan, Tasty, Popular with locals

Cons: Busy , Fans, no aircon

Cheap, good and authentic vegetarian versions of Penang hawker food!

Visit on 21 August 2017:
Vegetarian versions of Authentic Penang hawker food. Cheap, flavourful and satisfying portions. Popular among locals, it was busy even on a Monday. Service was pretty speedy. Will definitely be coming back to try the other dishes, so 4 stars for now as I've only tried one dish.

Pros: Cheap, Satisfying Portions, Good amount of topping

Cons: Car Park can be difficult to find, Quite busy and

Tasty Cheap Penang Veg

This place is super busy and popular with locals. Offers veg version of many famous Penang noodles. However I'm not totally convinced the wheat noodles do not have egg... not sure. They also offer veg buffet for pretty cheap. However I prefer a bit less oil, everything is oily.

Pros: Cheap, Authentic Penang Noodles, Friendly Staff

Cons: Oily, Very Busy
