One of the best vegan Malaysian food in Penang - Edit
Probably the only vegan restaurant in Penang.
Read moreLots of vegan options and everything is explained well.
The mini pot dishes are delicious.
Staff is friendly and service is fast. Lots of tables inside to sit at.
Prices are reasonable considering the generous portions you get.
Definitely give this place a go if you’re ever in Penang.
Pros: All vegan food, Not expensive , Friendly and fast service

Top quality Malaysian food - Edit
We've been in Malaysia about 10 days so far, and the food at Pinxin is some of the best we've tasted.
Read moreThe dishes have full and interesting flavour combinations. Everything seems to be cooked to perfection. Yum yum yum!
The kuang chiang (side dish) - taro and peanuts wrapped in tofu skin and fried - is to die for.

Lots to like. Enjoyable food. Reasonable pricing. The girl serving I thought was a very nice blend of keen, attentive, polite and respectful.

Disappointing - Edit
I really can’t understand all the rave reviews. Based on the three dishes we had, the adventurous flavour combinations did not work well together. The menu only names the dishes without describing what is in them or how they are served, and even though we asked for help from the staff, we were just as confused by the explanations.
Read moreIf you are gluten free, I really wouldn’t recommend going there as only 3 or 4 dishes are marked gluten free. I don’t know if this means they add gluten products to nearly all their dishes, or whether they don’t understand the concept.

Higest quality delicious vegan Malaysian food - Edit
We've been traveling Malaysia for several days, tasting delicious vegan dishes at restaurants from KL to Malacca to Penang. This has been my overall favorite. You can't go wrong with the satay, the vegan kaya, the coconut cake, or just about anything on the menu. They focus on high-quality, delicious foods that are thoughtfully prepared, with health & taste being equal priorities. You cannot go wrong with this place. I can't comment on the pricing because it was part of my tour package. But I would splurge for a meal here without hesitation.
Read morePros: Extremely delicious + nutritious., Vegan take on traditional Malaysian dishes, Chef owner very friendly and caring.

Great - Edit
Had to try a laksa before I left Malaysia. Pinxin has great a/c, WiFi and accepts card. Deal price when you get main plus a drink. I had the Asam laksa that they are know for, it was delicious, sour and only a little spicy. Really big portion that took a while to finish. Added on an iced lemon tea.

Friendly ladies - Edit
Very tasty local food served in a clean, air-conditioned restaurant. Preparation was fast and (as almost always) too much for me. Had the rest for lunch. We had Laksa and Prosperous Hokkien Noodle.

Best service in Penang! 🌱 - Edit
This is the only eatery I’ve dined in twice on this trip, and that’s because of the excellent food quality and the helpful staff!! I asked for a spicier sauce for the satay and they happily gave me some. Perfect place for someone who wants both authenticity AND wonderfully rich tastes. Maybe I’ll order a third time 🐷
Read morePros: Mala Satay skewers were sexy, Chill atmosphere , Great staff!!
Cons: Brownie out of stock 😭

Très pimenté - Edit
Très compliqué de se faire comprendre… j’ai demandé un plat non pimenté, la serveuse me dit Ok, j’ai l’impression qu’on s’est comprises…. Et je me retrouve avec un plat que je ne peux manger tellement il est pimenté…. Je fais la remarque en disant que je ne peux pas manger le plat alors que j’ai demandé non pimenté et que la serveuse avait l’air d’avoir compris, et quand je fais la remarque elle me dit que ce n’est pas pimenté….
Read morePar ailleurs un autre plat commandé ne ressemble pas du tout à la photo disponible sur leur site (la serveuse nous a conseillé d’aller regarder leur site pour voir les photos des plats). Sur la carte il n’y a pas le détail des ingrédients, donc très difficile de commander….
À déconseiller donc.
Cons: Communication difficile, Très pimenté , Pas de liste d’ingrédients

Delicious nasi lemak - Edit
We visited here twice and got some variation of nasi lemak both times. The first time we both got rendang nasi lemak. The rendang was delicious, it had a good strong flavour and there was lots of tempeh, lion's mane mushrooms and (I think) some tofu. The accompaniments on the plate were good additions, with some good textures coming from the cashews and pickles, and some good flavour from the sambal. The rice was well cooked and more meals should be served with poppadoms.
Read moreOn our next visit I got the kurma curry nasi lemak. The curry sauce was tasty with a bit of chilli kick but nothing too spicy. There was plenty of tempeh and bits of mushrooms in the sauce. My partner got the satay nasi lemak. The satay skewer was made from lion's mane mushrooms so had a great texture. It was good and nutty but didn't pack the same exciting flavours as the rendang.
We both had ice milk teas and enjoyed them, they were quite sweet and exactly what we were looking for. On the second visit I got a chocolate, banana and peanut shake and all of those flavours were very obviously there making for a delicious drink.
