Ivy's Nyonya Cuisine

Awesome Nonya food and very warm hospitality from Chef Ivy and Leng - the set menu showcases most of the restaurant’s highlights including assam pedas grouper, otah, fried chicken, fish maw soup. Don’t forget to try the lor bak (ordered à la carte) with their home made chilli sauce. A glass of refreshing lemonade along with their pulit hitam dessert will complete the memorable dining experience! Highly recommended.

Just had the most amazing Nyonya meal today and I’m totally obsessed! Every dish was bursting with unique, layered flavors—sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy all in perfect harmony. The laksa was rich and aromatic, the ayam buah keluak was so tender and flavorful, and don’t even get me started on the kuih for dessert! The vibe was cozy too, and the staff were super friendly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone craving authentic, mouthwatering Southeast Asian food. Already counting down the days till I come back!

We had a reservation for dinner on Sat evening. Opted for the 6-pax set and added extra ala-carte dishes for the group. For the set, there's seabass in assam sauce, joo hoo ban kuang cha, hoo peow thng, kapitan chicken, sambal hae bee, and desserts. We added perut ikan, telur belanda and sambal udang. Drinks were the first to arrive and we waited for about another 30 mins for the food. The fish maw soup had plenty of ingredients such as fishballs and fish paste. The perut ikan was appetising and had plenty of vege/herbs in it. First time trying! The joo hoo ban kuang cha came with lettuce and spicy green sauce. We heeded the young staff advice (Daniel) and only dabbed a tiny bit of the spicy sauce into the lettuce wrap. Yummy. The steamed seabass in assam sauce was good and so was the chicken kapitan. All these sauces made me want to add more rice. The hae bee sambal was more sweet than savoury. Telur belanda was interesting with the tomato based sauce. Was surprised that the bee koh moi (coconut milk pulut hitam type of dessert) had longan inside.

A lovely Nyonya shop with really satisfying set dishes! The food is flavorful, authentic, and very filling — definitely great value for money. Everything we tried was delicious and tasted home-cooked with care. The owner is also extremely friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re craving comforting and tasty Nyonya food!

We ordered the 2 pax set. Dined in during weekend dinner time. Service could be slow but understandable as it’s was very crowded. However, the service from staff was good and friendly. Tasty Nonya food - especially Assam fish and Curry Chicken. Reasonable quantity, we were full after. Desserts were not too sweet too.

A cosy spot for comforting, home-style Nyonya food. The flavours are classic, well-balanced, and feel genuinely homemade rather than overly commercial. Simple setting, friendly service, and dishes that focus on tradition. A reliable choice if you’re craving authentic Nyonya cuisine in Penang. We cleared all up — no leftovers at all.

All is good! Incredible Michelin restaurant ;) The owner is very friendly, the foods are well-cooked, the atmosphere totally incredible. Comfort food, especially for Indonesian. Once you visit Penang with your family, go have meal here

We arrived after the lunch rush and didn’t need to wait for a table. We opted for the 2 person set menu and enjoyed everything. Service was great! Very child friendly- bowl/cutlery, high chairs, and even a diaper changing station in the bathroom area. Overall- it wasn’t my favorite meal in Penang but definitely pretty good!
