Little Penang

Craved some Malaysian food while my wife and I visited Wellington and decided to try Little Penang. Lovely restaurant located in the city on Victoria St. Very clean, bright and welcoming restaurant. Staff that served us was super friendly. We tried the char kway teow and it was delicious. Very much reminded me of good Penang kway teow that I had growing up. Very generous with the ingredients. Also tried the teh tarik, which was honestly average which is why I can only give 4 stars for the food (overall). Also got a vegetable curry puff which was pleasantly tasty. Would definitely return if we ever visited Wellington again. Worth a try for anyone craving good Malaysian food. As a whole experience, 5 stars.

Every dish we had was fantastic. Loads of choice and everyone working there was really friendly. Definitely recommend !

Every time when I'm visiting Welly from Auckland, if I have the chance, I would drop by "Little Penang" for my Malaysian food fix. The place is always packed with a diverse group of people, all enjoying amazing food. Every visit is always greeted with a smile followed by decision paralysis when you're handed the menu as all the food looks amazing. My last visit, we had the Assam Laksa and the Hokkien mee, both available on Sat. I also accidentally left my cap given to me by my brother. The owner personally called and return the item on their day off. I can't emphasise how every visit to the establishment brings me joy as it reminds me of home. Looking forward to my next meal here.

Little Penang has the vibe of an authentic Malaysian coffee shop and is clearly a popular spot. I had the char kuey teow, which was full of flavor with succulent prawns and tasty lap cheong sausages, all cooked to perfection. The medium spice level was a bit hotter than I expected, and I usually handle spice well! Service was quick and efficient. Definitely worth a visit.

We drop by for snacks. Pretty good lopak (Penang snacks) serve it hot and crunchy, will come back to try other Malaysian dish. And good price in wellington.

My girlfriend and I chose to order takeout. After paying, we were informed that the wait time would be half an hour. We waited at the entrance, but after half an hour, we were told that the food we ordered was no longer available. There was no explanation or apology. We ended up waiting for more than half an hour before finally getting our food, even though customers who ordered after us received their food earlier. While I understand that this is a very popular restaurant, it was the worst dining experience I’ve had in Wellington.

had the salted lychee soda super good and it had some chia seeds i think really good food !! lots of options

Really nice restaurant for a quick lunch with the good food . Many choices especially the deep fried bitter with the pork mince is the best !
