I've been going to Penang for years (both at Harvard Sq and Chinatown) and never been disappointed with their consistent quality of food and service. BUT, the Cambridge location is now called ""Rendang"", with a new menu - new graphic design, same dishes, but higher prices. Before, we would spend around $15 each for 5-6 people (no drinks), sharing family-style. Last week, my friends & I ordered pretty much our same favorite dishes and paid a whopping $24 each. The Chinatown location is still called Penang - so I'll guess I'll stick to that one.
Pros: Delicious, usually large waitstaff
Cons: ""Rendang"" location now more $$$
