On a visit to New York this summer, we stumbled upon Penang's on 72nd Street. What a wonderful experience it was! When we first entered the restaurant we perceived that it has an inviting athmosphere, with interesting, hip and cool designs and decor. We were not sure that the food would deliver to the same level. But here we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered an appetizer of spring rolls that came with a wonderful dipping sauce, with hints of curry and other spices. It was the best dipping sauce I have ever tried. I had a mango chicken dish, which was divine, and my husband and brother in law had prawns, which they pronounced the best they have ever tasted. The service was good an cordial. I thought that Penang's is a little hidden jewel of a restaurant and I hope to go again next time I am in the Big Apple.
Pros: Good food, great value, nice athmosphere, great service
Cons: Absolutely no cons
