Nice Malay style choo char. Tomyam is delicious! but a lil salty for me.
The main dishes are delicious. I ordered 4 dishes, all of them are good, btw the soup and som tum are the spiciest.

Dessert: Red rubby is too sweet, sorry but I don't like it at all.
I love pulut mangga so much. Definitely should try. Tomyam and sup daging is good as well. Large dining area, got surau and toilet.
Remember when they were on the ground floor? Now they have moved up. But the food remains good- tanghoon prawns and the tofu is good too.
I have to say the food is quite authentic and delicious 😋 Price is affordable too and luckily they have set meal for 1 pax which is a good idea!
One of the best authentic Thai cuisine restaurant in Penang. I had Pad Thai, Tomyum Gung Seafood and Pak Liang. The taste is close enough of what you can get in Thailand due to the ingredients sourced locally. Food was priced reasonably for the portion provided. Car park wise it’s quite difficult to get street parking as this is a busy area however if you are lucky you could get parking infront of the restaurant for dine in customers. Enjoy ~

Recommended. The location is close to Penang International Airport. 21 people came and used 5 tables, I thought that the food was ready late, less than 30 minutes the menu was served. Delicious! Fast! Clean! The best! No picture shared from my family, only got video to share.
Delightful, quaint neighbourhood restaurant. Family run with nice selection of menu. Choose fr single serve set meals to mouth watering dishes to share with friends & family.
Complimentary iced tea provided.

Ordered the MiangPla fish and it was very nice. The fish has been filleted to bite sized morsels and deep fried to perfection. The herb toppings was perfect balance. Recommended.

Lots of parking during dinner time
One of fav place for Thai food.Not too fast but not too slow to serve food. Ikan stim limau is good. Used to like kangkung belacan but lots of stem and salty this round. Sotong goreng tepung was nice last time and this round I was not satisfied. Too many flour. Sirap for RM3.00 in a plastic cup? Overpriced!!
Love the food. Decent priced. The volcanic pork ribs is a must try if you like spicy and sour food.

The elderly uncle taking orders is not fit for a customer facing role. He has difficulties hearing and gets worked out very quickly. Was super rude as well. He literally threw the menu at my father in law, and got so worked out when i asked if the place serves "kueytiao kungfu", of which he replied "tak ada! Kedai ni tak buat!" In the most annoying voice ever.

Preparation was quick, but food was meh. Not recommended

Family-run small place just off Jln Macalister with really good fresh and spicy food. I began with green curry - spicy and delicious and also tried their chicken coconut soup that was devine! It was packed with chicken in a light and spicy flavourful stock. I will caution you to check the amounts charged as they do not provide a bill and it seemed higher than the listed prices both times I visited (close to where I am staying). I did not say anything - because there are a plethora of places to eat in this city and I will attempt to try them all!
We love coming here. The food is very delicious. However we have BIG ISSUE with the staff taking customers order. Very old & have hearing problem, always sitting near entrance with a cap. Always get the orders wrong. There are other staffs but why let him take our orders. They should know better how he is. Please improve on this part ONLY. The only issue we have. We’re actually a regular customer.

Good food, book before walk in to avoid no table
We enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant. It is easy to reach this place, since it is located in a vibrant tourist area. The restaurant interior is modern and cozy for family and friends gatherings. We ordered three tasty dishes and drinks. Their service is fast, friendly and excellent. We would love to try other dishes too.
Overall rasa masakan semua sedap, walaupun nampak mcm gerai tepi Jalan tapi presentation and Rasa dia same level 5 star, ikan siakap 3 Rasa dia rangup diluar, lembut and fresh di dlm, since waktu Kami sampai agak ramai, makanan sampai tidaklah begitu lambat..below then 30 minit...just in time, keseluruhan Kita bagi 5 bintangggg... Harga dia pun sgt berpatutan, Kami ambil set A, tambah udang goreng tepung n nasi extra, dlm RM60++ lebih sahaja...absolutely worth it...🥰👍

Tomyam and soup were delicious as expected from thailand restaurant. The pulut mangga was really delicious, im so in love with the taste. Definitely should try. Price are reasonable and fast service. Large dining space got dining area upstairs. Surau also available.
Ordered Minched Meat Tofu with Oyster Sauce, Seafood Tomyam Soup, Kangkung Sambal Belacan, Thai Basil Minched Meat, Dry Chilli with Cashew Nuts. Tomyam Soup and Thai Basil Minched Meat are good but the rest are soso only. Overall taste is good but the portion is too small so it's considered as expensive.
Seems to be popular amongst factory staff. Dishes are 6/10 at best. The fried rice lacked aroma and seemed to be of the lower quality. Drinks are also on the pricey side. Good thing was to be able to park in front of its outlet... limited slots.
Decent place for a quick meal.
Portions are small to just nice.
Fried pork knuckle is great. Needs more sauce though.
Makanan sedap, harga berpatutan dan servis bagus.
Went there for lunch on Friday 1pm. It was difficult to find parking space at that street, but thanks goodness there was not a crowd in the restaurant. The food is nice, one of the best green curry I have ever tasted. Lemon grass with lemon is very delightful 👌
The squid is incredibly tender and delightful. Although the tomyam is enjoyable, I'll make sure to request extra spiciness next time. The fried kangkung is particularly flavorful, and the Tai On Omelette both smells and tastes wonderful.

The food is good value of money. The portion was big. The place quite and peaceful. Plenty of free parking lot.
Food is super and delicious, you can get variety of seafood, most of the menu we try. Nice place to have with friends. Especially the tomyam very good...❤️❤️❤️
Thank you to Yi Tian - You reserve for us the table even it was last minute booking.
Love their pork leg rice, seafood glass noodle & nestum prawn, taste on point not overly sweet nor salty and ingredients were fresh. But couldn’t say the same for their crab fried rice and mince pork soup, the rice is a little hard, and soup has too much msg.
EASY TO FIND ROAD SIDE STALL WITH GOOD THAI SEAFOOD DISHES.
makanan dah tak banyak,,biar jaa org tunggu,,tak bagitau awai2 makanan habis,,dah dpt kerusi meja p tgk makanan dah habis,,nak try colek tp kecewa dgn situasi mcm nii

Tasty Thai food in Penang. Ordered a few dishes and was very satisfied with the delicious food and wonderful service.
Pricing was reasonable too.
Highly recommend and would definitely come back.
Typical Thai food restaurant serving quite a decent variety in the menu. Food taste OK but service is very slow a messy, largely due to understaffed. Parking is a challenge.

Very dirty ...place has bad smell ...never maintain ..will never go back again
Restaurant is clean and foods are delicious. The only thing to comment is waiter need to be more alert in taking orders from customer. They missed out one of my orders and I have to remind them.
Good tomyam
Visit more than five times, either noon or evening, everytime they said they were busy for delivery order but they were not cooking or doing anything....so ridiculous

Friendly stuff!
Food taste good especially the keang song fish. Cheap and big portion.
Absolute worth to come back.
Originally Bangkok Tomyam serves one of the best Halal chu char other than CMR, at this Southern part of Penang Island. If you plan to be here, please make sure you book ahead of time to prevent long waiting time. The Set meals come with easy pick and served along with two chioces of drinks - xalamansi and lychees...
Muslim-friendly Thai restaurant that occupies two floors. Suitable for big groups of people (team lunch etc).

Food is normal and average. Some dishes such as tomyam are really salty.
Kedai tomyam ni bagi aku, sedap juga masakan dia, layanan pun bagus, lokasi senang nak parking kalau mai dengan kereta, ada meja dalam dan luar kedai.

Fast service and the foods are good. The price is affordable. Really recommended !
If you don’t want to open during your own opening hours, then maybe you shouldn’t open at all.
The food is nice.

Went there take away at 5pm , and a lady said sold out , I ask her , don’t you open till 8pm? She answer me , at the moment do more on grab . So if you going to have lunch or dinner there , pls consider . Because they just doing online , even shop is still open .
Authentic Thai food, if you want to experience non-localized Thai food, this is definitely restaurant you should try. Yum Woon Sen (Thai Glass Noodle) is definitely recommended, beware of the spicy taste though... 😋 but no worry as they have different milk tea to ease the burning feeling...

Recommended Tomyam - delicious and big portion per meals.
if you're hungry, this is the place to eat.
Food court set up and environment
If you came in a large group, you'll end up eating in the dark, quite an unpleasant experience.
Friendly store owner, delicious and affordable to dine every day.
Love the petai sambal moo krob.
Nice place to dine and food is good!

I get this take away Ayam Kunyit for RM18 for 3 person to eat, but the portion is.....terrible, enough for me alone, and its RM18 which I can buy one set meal at other place. 😂. Will be my first and last buying from here. The environment, table, chair and speed of service is ok and parking is easy to access. RM18 boleh beli ayam sekor dua. Adui ayam goreng kunyit kena RM18, mintak utk 3 org mkn, tp portion mcm ni kucing pun xcukup 🤣
Chang Thai Restaurant is authentic Thai food, The environment is quite spacious and the space is large ,sit quite comfortably. There are a lot of selectivity in Menu, almost all the Thai delicacies commonly seen here and thai drinks and desserts are also available in list .

The Menus includes traditional Dongyan soup, steamed citrus, Thai spicy stir-fried clams, casserole winter powder braised shrimp, golden cream chicken, green curry (chicken/pig), citronella water, Thai green tea, Thai black tea, longan lemon fairy grass, etc.

Overall : Good service with friendly staff and tasty Thai food plus clean environment are the attractions for us to enjoy our meals here.

I am giving this place a five star rating because I think they deserved it.

Although they could be a bit more attentive, but overall it was 95% perfection.

Nadiah Tomyum is just a normal stall. The food nevertheless, was quite good. Must try the cendawan goreng tepung, sotong goreng tepung and kerabu sotong.

Although the menu is limited, I think it is a good thing. Must make sure if you cannot stand spicy food, tell them you need it to be kurang pedas.

The price was also very reasonable. Not pricey. Am sure the owner likely undercharged us by at least RM5.00, and on top of that they rounded our dinner bill from RM81.10 to just RM80.

We had 5 pax of white rice, 2 sets of telur dadar, 1 kailan ikan masin, 1 kerabu daging, 1 kerabu sotong, 1 cendawan goreng tepung, 1 sotong goreng tepung, 1 Tomyum campur, 1 paprik ayam, 1 nasi goreng ikan masin and five drinks. Good portion too.

To Nadiah Tomyum, I really hope the taste of your food will be consistent; because if it is, am sure you will do well!
Wide variety of selection in the menu from individual set meal to ala-carte. Also they offer the famous tom yam mama noodles selections.

What I like about here is that they have this small portion of tom yam soup at RM2.50. Good option for those individual diners whom craves for some spicy and sour tom yam soup yet cannot finish the original serving of a tomyam pot.

We love the flavour and taste of both foods and beverages that we have ordered. Taste authentic and yet suitable to local preference palate.

Honest feedback: Taste good and very fast delivery. The price is also quite reasonable with a good portion. Been here many times and the most highlights is their package which you can save if you pick their package.
11.30am reach for lunch, and told me that they receive a lot of order from food panda so not going to serve anymore, so arrogant !!!

One of the best Thai Food (tomyam) I had ever experience in Penang. The owner originally from Thailand, Chiang Rai. Highly recommended for tomyam lover.
Nicht original Thai!! Bieten keine vegetarische Gerichte an, trotz mehrmaliger Nachfrage. Es ist ja kein Aufwand einfach das Essen vegetarisch vor zubereiten. In Thailand wäre das kein Problem. Hier leider nicht. Schade!!!
I love the food, I order their food from foodpanda at 1st then today came for 2nd time to try again! Wish they have selling tomyam soup. I like their spiciness.

Authentic Thai food. The taste of tom yam fried rice is so good, spicy & sour taste plus bit salty made my day. I ordered via Delivery Eat app. Definitely will be coming back for other dishes.

I can tell if you try the tomyam here you will love it because it is different and so tasty. It is a different type of tomyam. Besides, the chiang rai koay teow is tasty and one of the best signature dish at Nadiah. Bon appetit. Voila.

You need to order at the entrance before going in during pandemic time, overall food is nice and reasonably priced. Steam fish is bit over cooked and fried squid is very crispy. Most of the e-wallets payment and credit card is accepted here. Parking spot is ample and quite a crowd during peak hours and try to go early to avoid long waiting time.
Why there is so less people in this ship? This shouldnt be!

Overall Rating 4*, Taste so good that so less Thai restoran can match. The only shortage from my order is the normal TomYam, i still prefer spicy coz it's tomyam... but the Sambai is very spicy so.. i add some into tomyam and it taste very good!

Nice food..with plenty of choices food..they serve Thailand and western. But the taste and flavor of the food are different every single time. Sometimes the food is good but sometimes not. Really depends on the cooks I guess.
Google maps gave the same address but not Thai Dynasty

The tomyam chicken rice very nice! Pedas dan sedap. Their omelette rice pun sedap. One set include drinks and soup with the main course only RM11.00 ++ I recommend 😁

No idea.
Very good service, tasty green curry fried rice and milk tea.
A total disappointment with this restaurant, I won't be going back to them, ever. Look at the picture I uploaded, can you imagine this is the portion for two? And yet I have not started eating, this is as when it was served. The waitress introduce this is one of the recommended dish. LOL. Really can't feel their passion in serving good Thai food.
Delicious and authentic Thai food. We ordered the Green Curry Chicken and Stir Fried Basil with Pork. The servings are large, and we had plenty of leftovers to take home with us. The restaurant is very clean and looks to be quite new. Love it here, highly recommend!
Great place with nice food
