in the last weekTouristy, but excellent food.Prices are very reasonable.Can recommend the double roasted pork and the stir-fry garlic broccoli.If you want the best chance of getting a seat I would recommend getting there at 5:15, as shortly after the line starts getting very long.

2 weeks agoTeksen Restaurant serves a range of delicious dishes perfect for lunch. The double roasted pork dense with sweet and oily, while the bitter melon with omelet offers a unique flavor combination. The stingray curry is rich and flavorful, and the steamed fish in Teochew style has a delightful sour taste with soy sauce. The soup of the day, featuring baby squid, dried fruit, radish, and pork rib, is also tasty and worth trying. Overall, a great spot for a satisfying meal.

4 weeks agoGreat place! Saved it and wanted to go there during our 3 days in George Town, although there was always a big Q. On Sunday evening we managed to go. Waited 10 min and shared a table. Follow the suggestions and loved it! Prices are higher than average in George Town but totally worth it. We also got the fried Chicken which was very taste but would have preferred to try something else - was our mistake ordering

4 months agoAmazing 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!

3 months agoThis 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.
