📍 1720 W Algonquin Rd, Arlington Heights, IL 60005

Penang Malaysian Cuisine traces back to a family that opened the original Penang in Chinatown back in 1999, and this Arlington Heights location carries the same reputation into the suburbs — one Time Out writer called it the most authentic place in the whole state to get real Malaysian cooking.

Roti canai (a flaky, pan-fried flatbread), satay, nasi lemak (coconut rice served with a rotating cast of sides), and laksa (a spiced noodle soup) cover the real range of the cuisine rather than a narrowed-down, Americanized version.

Hours appear to have shrunk at some point — older listings show a full lunch-and-dinner schedule, while more recent ones show lunch-only hours — so this is very much a call-ahead situation if you're planning dinner.
