Tasty food, nice interior - Edit
Really enjoyed our food. Ordered the Nasi Lemak curry version which was incredibly tasty. Hokkien noodles were nice but not stand out. Staff friendly. Maybe slightly pricier than other places in town.

Very good, local cuisine that is all 100% vegan. The staff were lovely and were very helpful at recommending dishes. We had two variations of Nasi Lemak which was really flavourful.

Great Malay vegan food - Edit
It’s so hard to pass Malay street food by when it’s not vegan in Penang. It all smells and looks so good. But I found this place on here and it was fantastic. So I wanted to leave positive review too for others. The Assam Laksa spicy soup was the real deal. Nice place and people too.

Amazing local food - Edit
This is a great place to experience some local Penang food. If I recall correctly, they even use organic ingredients, at least for some of their dishes. Everything I tried was great.

Great food - Edit
We had an absolutely amazing experience at this vegetarian cafe in Penang! We ordered their signature dishes - the Penang Laksa and Hokkien Mee - and they were both so delicious and had such a rich aroma that we ended up devouring all the soup. But the real star of the show was the Onde-Onde cake we had for dessert, it was simply incredible! We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some delicious vegetarian food in Penang.

One comment stated the AC didn’t cool down enough?😄so I thought actually it’s too cold as in many places here, so I brought and needed a scarf.
Pros: Food was Great, Staff very friendly , Lemongrass Ginger tea 👍
Cons: AC a little to cold for me

Reflection - Edit
Pinxin Vegan Cuisine consistently ranks at the top of my list for vegan dining in Penang. I always recommend it to people visiting the area. However, during our recent visit, I noticed several changes. The restaurant seemed understaffed, and while the food was decent, the portions appeared smaller. The air conditioning didn't adequately cool the space, and the restaurant could benefit from some refurbishment as it appeared outdated. Additionally, the main door made a loud squeaking sound. Despite these issues, Pinxin Vegan Cuisine still holds a special place in my heart, and I hope it can regain its former fame and charm.

Good food, nice setting - Edit
The Laksa soup was good, huge portion but the taste was "just" good and nothing special. The satay sticks were yummy though! Cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff.

Didn’t meet expectations - Edit
Perhaps it was the dish I chose but I was a little underwhelmed by this raved about venue. I ordered the “signature” asam laksa. Serving size was good and the noodles were well-cooked. The flavour was too subtle for my liking (not sour enough) and there was only a small amount of cucumber and pineapple. If I were to go back I would try something different.

The food is amazing omg - Edit
I got the Java mee (I got the chilli on the side as I didn’t want it to be too spicy) and the sauce was really good, not watery and full of flavour. The mushrooms were amazing as well. Next was the clear soup mini pot, the broth was heavenly omg I didn’t expect it to be so good but it was. The nasi lemak was good too, the sambal was the star of the dish imo. Tbh everything was good

Vegan restaurant in Penang so that’s a plus - Edit
The food was great, a bit of a hike out of the center of the town. Ordered the veg curry and masala curry, both were good, not as spicy as advertised, and as the curry sauces were premixed it was not possible to adjust them. However, a pleasant dinning experience.

Cons: Quite far out of town, Not licensed to serve alcohol

Tried their ready to eat meals in Singapore - Edit
From Singapore & I love the ready to eat packs as with simple heating at comfort of home, I managed to whip up a delicious spread of Nonya food in just 15 mins, for my family. I also like it that they do not use preservatives, additives, white sugar and white salt too. 🌟
Read moreWe had Sambal petai tempeh, Classic satay, Watercress soup, Assam fish and Mei cai (preserved vege). The foodies were well packed and delivered in cooler bag. We love the savoury Assam fish, and Sambal petai tempeh the most 😋

Pinxin - Edit
We visited twice and strongly reccommend the Siew mai as they were delicious, the Assam mania fish was lovely ! And the nasi lemak!
Read moreWe 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 - Edit
We found this place a bit overhyped.
Read moreMaybe 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.

Nice location, average food 🥘 - Edit
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.

Cosmic yum yum flavours! - Edit
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.
