Pinxin

We visited twice and strongly reccommend the Siew mai as they were delicious, the Assam mania fish was lovely ! And the nasi lemak!
We didn’t enjoy the laksa and was quite different to other laksas we’ve tried and the other noodle dish didn’t seem to have much flavour. But the other things we tried were lovely and everyone that worked there were so kind and sweet

Fully vegan nice restaurant

We found this place a bit overhyped.
Maybe it was the dishes that we choose, but we weren't impressed by the taste.
I got noodles with some type of peanut sauce/soup and it tasted like it really missed some salt.
Also, the firey curry is really firey. Literally can't taste anything but burning spice.
The best part was the cake! Although quite expensive at 22RM
The service was friendly and the interior is really beautiful.

Variety and quality

A good menu with first, side, children menu and dessert. I had the hericium dark sauce rice with and interesting sweetish taste, apricot&peach tea and brownies.

Pros: Wide and comfortable dining room

Cons: More Expensive than other restaurants in George T.

Nice location, average food 🥘

Loved the interior of this place, service was awkward but friendly, food was meh. It didn’t taste special and was very oily, had a lake of oil on my plate, which I don’t find very appetizing. The highlight was the dip for the satay. Maybe I chose the wrong dish, I’ll be back and try something else and might change my review.

Pros: Interior

Cons: Food very oily

Cosmic yum yum flavours!

I had the asam laksa, my partner the nasi lemak, and both tasted out of this world. Hojicha latte is my new favourite from now on. Friendly staff, quick service, amazing choices, lovely place! I'd eat there every day if I could.

Pros: Menu choices , Engagement to cook vegan for a better planet, Interior

Delicious fancy food

This felt like quite a fancy place when we arrived and the food lived up to that first impression.

We ordered the satay, hokkien noodles and curry noodles. The texture of the fake meat in the satay was great, and the sauce was nice too. We were glad to find chunks of the same fake meat alongside tofu in both the other dishes. We were told that the fake meat in the satay is made from monkey mushrooms.

The flavour of everything was really good, and it was a treat to find some Malaysian classics in a place where we knew everything was vegan. It also wasn't super expensive compared to some places we've been recently, even though it felt very high-end.

Pros: Fake meat in the satay

The food here was incredible- one of our absolute highlights from 7 months of travel around Asia and in general. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff are friendly. Definitely a must visit when in Penang!

Rather fancy

Very good food. I’ve had laksa which was a sweet and sour soup. The place looks rather fancy and you place the order via your mobile.

Best healthy vegan restaurant in Penang!

Amazing and spacious place with a lot of choice. Food is absolutely delicious and healthy. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Lots of locals visit this place which is a good sign. We had the classic Nasi Lemak, mushroom soup, steamed sambal okra and fried sambal eggplant. We absolutely loved each bite!

Disappointed

We visited on our first day in Penang and had good meals at the time deciding we would revisit before leaving to carry on with our travels. Unfortunately after taking a taxi to get there, we arrived and were told that the restaurant was closed. There were people inside eating and tables were available. While we sat outside deciding where to go and ordering a taxi, a couple walked in and were seated. They had received their drinks and one bowl of food by the time our taxi had arrived. I mention this here because we were staying quite a distance from the area and because we had checked to make sure the restaurant was open before arriving. It was also early afternoon. We just want you to be aware. It’s very odd and the first time anything like this has happened to us. I’m a retired teacher and coach so wasn’t sent away because I look troublesome!

Those flavours..

Fun, quirky interior. It is a slightly stressful experience sitting down. They don't really seem to serve any type of drinks other than coffee or tea. No alcohol, no juices. The staff seems in a rush, you are supposed to order everything through an app. The app doesn't really describe what the dishes are, however. What we ordered was just incredible. The Hokkien mee had an amazing thick and rich fishy broth. Their chef really knows what they're doing. I will definitely be back.

Great Nasi Lemak!

Although on the slightly pricey-er side, the food here was delicious! My boyfriend and I both had a Nasi Lemak, one was satay and the other was tempeh kurma. Both were great! Lots of nice flavours and textures on both. The mushroom “chicken” on the satay skewers was a highlight!

Rich flavoured spicy food

A bigger spot than it seems from outside with a nice old-fashioned style inside. Digital vegan menu incl. ordering via QR code / online, what is pretty nice and works flawlessly. Menu has many (Asian) alternatives and everything has a really rich flavor. For some people it could be too much, not even the spicyness. And yes, it is spicy, but it a nice and always different way. We had 3 dishes, all were spicy, and all had a different taste: One more typical, almost Indian, curry-spice (Nasi Lemak), the Masak Merah was more a sweet-sour spicyness, and the satay sticks had a spicy peanut sauce. Everyone delicious in its own way, the peanut one is to die for.
Not many alternatives for cold drinks but the iced lemongrass-ginger drink was great.
Price is totally okay for the quality (all fresh and organic) and totally worth it. We paid for 2 mains, the sticks, 2 lemongrass-ginger on ice and one hot chocolate with oat-milk 100RM.

Pros: Rich flavours, Many alternatives, Fully vegan

Hello

I appreciate the effort of serving so many ppl cruelty free food. The restaurant was packed when we came.
I give 1 star minus because of the digital order system. Not a fan of that. Another star less because they claim to serve healthy food, while, at least everything we tried, was super duper oily.
Keeo it up!

Amazing food!

The assam laksa and the mango cake were so delicious! The atmosphere is nice and the staff very personable. A must try if you're in Penang.
