I first ate at Sun Penang over a year ago and remember it to be a decent meal. Like most people have already said in their reviews, finding a restaurant for Malaysian food in Pittsburgh is in and of itself impressive. I think once I got over the novelty of finding a place for prawn noodles, hainanese chicken and roti canai, I could more objectively rate the restaurant itself.
I just don't think Sun Penang deserves high praises for being the only place where you can get _______ in Pittsburgh. This city is better than that! And, I believe the other reviews that say the food used to be better. So, before giving the stars away , let's make Sun Penang earn it again!
The one saving grace is their outdoor seating. On that one beautiful Pittsburgh spring day, having a meal while people-watching in Squirrel Hill is definitely a treat.
