Definitely worth a try despite the hype. Tasty curries, omelette bawang delicious, fried rice and curry mixture definitely flavourful. Go early to secure a place or be patient and line up.
So far the best nasi kandar in Penang. No regrets, worth the price. Came twice, and still satisfied. If you wanna avoid the que, come on weekdays. Parking available just opposite the shop and behind there’s a private parking with touch and go entry.
Despite a long queue, the service is fast with an efficient system of split stations of 'dish assembler', 'cost counter' and payment. The dining area is also large and comfortable with them occupying the 2 units on the side. They even have their own parking area on the side road which cost money.
However, the most important aspect, the food itself isn't too impressive which is strange for such a highly rated establishment. The beef although tender enough is surprisingly under-seasoned, thus lack the salt despite having a well pronounced taste while other dishes are on par. The rice is well flavoured, infused with just enough fat while the curry mixes seems good enough. Maybe I should be getting the fried chicken on my next visit. Price wise is on par with the standards around here.
Taste factor: 5.5/10
Return factor: Earmarked to return for other dishes

The Q was veeeery long. But don't let it discourage you. Its quite fast and there are plenty for seats inside. This is the real concept of FASTFOOD. Q, order, pay, eat and leave. But the food taste amazing and price is very affordable. The only problem I had was parking. Everything else was perfect.
Great meal. When you come, they have a dish with only plain rice then ask you what food you want to add on. So you point and choose yourself food you like. We 7people had a good experience here. Their beverages are also nice. Milk tea is my favorite
Great curries with great selection of fish, meat & chicken dishes. But the fish head curry we ordered was moment away from going bad. It wasn't so fresh. Long queue especially weekends
The nasi kandar here is quite good. The pictures tell a better story than I can.
Opens at 12 noon, and there is usually a queue already, but the line moves pretty fast as they are quite systematic and efficient
Prices are midrange, and every item price is listed. But price wise, it's one of the more reasonable restaurants
Mutton and seafood will definitely be more expensive.
Parking is a challenge, but you can get easier parking closer to the market.

Ok. I would have give 4 star if no long queue. Rice, curry, gravy is pretty normal. You can get anywhere. Fried chicken is good. Too many people. Quantity instead of quality. No aircon. Price decent.
