Delicious Laksa - Edit
After reading the other reviews I had to try the Assam Laksa for myself, and it did not disappoint. Really flavoursome and a really nice level of spice. I had nutmeg juice too which was delicious, both for RM17.

Disappointing - Edit
We ordered the claypot rice, rendang with rice and lorbak.
Read moreThe rendang was actually really tasty however it came with only 5 tiny pieces of potatoes and 1 mushroom!
The claypot itself was small and lacking in flavour. The lorbak was the best item we ordered and we would recommend this one snack if you’re in the area and would like to try it. However with all the amazing vegan food options around Penang, we personally wouldn’t recommend this place for anything else.
Cons: Tiny portions

Yep - Edit
I'm jumping on the bandwagon here. I thought people might have been exaggerating about the laksa, but nope, that is a seriously delicious bowl of assam laksa. A Definitely recommend.

Delightful Vegetarian Penang eats! - Edit
Stumbled upon this place at Armenian Street and decided to try the Asam laksa as I’ve been wanting to try a vegetarian version of this local delicacy. It didn’t disappoint me!

Nice spot - Edit
Had the nyonya asam laksa which is served in a nice smaller portion (so you won't overeat), very tasty as well.

Ok - Edit
Middle of the range prices - 13 to 14 ringgit for fried rice, 7 to 9 for the desserts. Quantity of food was decent but taste was just ok. Quiet place - which is nice.

recommend Glutinous Rice Ball with Black Soya Milk - Edit
almost Vegan, some drinks have milk. We ordered a very Hong Kong-style steamed Chee Cheong Fun, but it has a little spice, very special; I personally recommend Glutinous Rice Ball with Black Soya Milk~

Not good at all! - Edit
The map location is wrong, this is on ARMENIAN street (misspelled).
Read moreNo air conditioning, the front is open to the street.
The food was not good! I was so disappointed. Got the turmeric rice, which was tasteless. Got a noodle soup dish -- I think Asam Laksa -- the noodles were soggy and the toppings were sad. Got another noodle dish, also not good. Liked the loh bak at least.
The sister restaurant Yun Shan Ge is much much better!

Friendly staff, lots of vegan options - Edit
Quick and friendly service. It’s in a very touristy strip, so the prices are slightly higher than what you can get elsewhere, but it’s still really cheap. I got the laksa noodles for 8 RM - it was delicious! They also sell bottles of juice and coffee.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Quick and friendly service, Tasty food

mediocre - Edit
It's a tourist area, so the prices are a bit higher, but still ok. Rice spring rol with curry was ok-ish, and I had much much better veggie laksa (also in Penang).

Great spot to have lunch whilst street art spotting! - Edit
I came across this place by accident, as I was wandering around this area on the hunt for the street art. It was a really cute little spot, perfect for refuelling in the heat and people watching. I had the Special of the Day which was a delicious curry with brown rice and the Nutmeg juice (definitely try this - it's home made!!). Portions were good sizes. The lady was very friendly.
Read morePros: Location for street art, Tasty!, Good vibes

Centrally located - Edit
This is a little eatery really centrally located in Georgetown's most touristy street... which is why it's so great that it's still cheap. They have a small menu, but the options are quite delicious. Try the steamed chee cheong fun, it's delicious!
Read moreDon't expect anything fancy, it's a simple place to fill your stomach cruelty-free.

yummy, a little expensive due to location - Edit
Laksa is delicious and so worthy trying with spring rolls (at waiter's suggestion)
Read moreCurry chee chong (I may have botched the name) was not - bland, needed more sauce.
Rojak - not my cup of tea but I'm sure someone else would love it.
The prices are a little high because it's on a very touristy street.
Pros: Malaysian cuisine , cool location

Humble restaurant - Edit
Small restaurant with a limited menu of Malay and more Western-style dishes. We had the clay pot rice, which was nice, and the curry burger, which was basic and not very spicy. Expected a bit more.
