The Original Penang Kayu Nasi Kandar outlet here in Kota Damansara is a local hotspot for people gathering together to enjoy decent food and to get into the authentic Malaysian vibes with a rich melting pot of customers from all walks of life.

FOOD VERDICT :

1. Nasi Kandar Good portion. The mixed curry gravy is flavorful and the gravy texture is quite thick. The veggies is decent and the briyani rice is well-cooked, tasteful. The fried chicken is good and the received wing part is quite big. The crumbs is crunchy and the chicken meat is well-cooked inside.

THE GOOD : • The place is quite massive and clean with plenty of seating availability (indoor and outdoor) • Efficient service by the staff • Massive selection of lauk (side dishes) to choose from for nasi kandar • Fairly extensive menu selection besides nasi kandar • Located in the dense location of PJU 5 business area • Close to MRT Surian metro station (around 10 min walk) • Online food delivery and self-pickup are available via Grab Food, Foodpanda • Open for 24 hours • Toilet and surau are available in the premise

the waiter was incredibly rude. the food that was brought to our table was not what we ordered. As you can see in the pictures, i ordered a nasi goreng ayam. And out of no where, they send us a NASI LEMAK AYAM. We pointed this out to the staff, but the response was dismissive and unhelpful, leaving us with the wrong dishes. The waiter even mad at us bcs of this thing. This level of carelessness is unacceptable. Not to forget, i mention it twice and even repeating the order which is i highlight the Nasi Goreng Ayam. Since i've allergies on nuts, never in my live i ordered a nasi lemak. Worst thing is, WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT NASI LEMAK AYAM😌. Given the combination of terrible service and mistakes with our order, I have no intention of returning. I hope you take this feedback seriously and make improvements to avoid...
