Tek Sen Restaurant

Amazing Cantonese Restaurant, with super delicious food! We came here because of reviews and this place didn't disappoint. Our favorite was the double roasted pork with chili, must try! The roasted eggplant and belacan fried chicken were delicious too. Good drinks.This place is popular during peak times and you will have to wait in line, took us around 30min plus waiting some time for the food. Service is efficient given it's popularity. Definitely worth the waiting time!

This is my second visit to Teksen restaurant, with the last one being five years ago. The food was just as amazing as I remembered. Despite the heat, a queue began forming around 5pm. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated and another 15 minutes for the food to arrive. The must-order dishes are Assam Grouper Fish slices, double roasted pork, French beans with minced pork and dried shrimp, and fried rice. It was definitely worth the wait.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Assam fish, which was my favorite dish, and the roasted pork was also delightful. However, I found that the long queues I encountered each time I passed by were a bit of a challenge.

Wow, just wow. Came here due to the reviews, the awards (Michelin) and recommendations from friends who are locals here and I must say I was blown away.Came to the restaurant early at about 540 pm and queues were already forming, it didn’t look that bad but we waited for an hour for a 7 pax table before we got to our seats, however before that we were given menus and could decide slowly on what to order. As there were different sizes for the dishes, we were fussing about how much to order for 7 pax. I must say the Indian staff at the front desk who could speak the hokkien dialect was amazing, he said he would choose the sizes of each dish for us, depending on how many dishes we ordered too. ( it was amazing, as we finished everything and felt that the portions he estimated for us were spot on) When we finally got to our table, the dishes were served very quickly, I must say they are very organized and efficient, and we did not have to wait for another long period for the food to be cooked. We ordered the recommendations and the hot favorites from the reviews like the pork and aubergine, and I must say EVERY DISH HIT THE MARK. Even the omelette which was basic zhi char was good. Now I understood why the many reviews on google said it was worth the wait and queue because this place is simply sensational. Now every time when I visit Penang I would definitely arrange a night for this place. Oh and did I mention the value for money and affordability? Simply wonderful.

Walking distant from public transport, but I recommend to take grab, didn’t see any parking slot nearby, they do accept call in reservation, I suggest to do that, as the queue is very long, we waited for 40min plus. Love their signature double fried pork, soup of the day is awesome too, rich and flavourful, steam fish is fresh, the eggs on the other hand is not so great, the sauce on the prawns is nice, but the prawns doesn’t taste fresh. Overall the dishes are not bad.
