We ordered ayam penyat at rm10, goreng ikan ala carte at rm25. . Thumbs up! Really cripsy, nice food. The chicken is really juicy, the ikan goreng is really cook to just nice. The jeruk drink is nice as well. Well deserved the high rating.
If u come late..sotong n keli will finish1st…if u order fish i think u will have to wait abit +\- 15mins…that includes bawal n siakap..but but worth the wait…lai lai
It's my 1st time here, am sure gonna repeat! Service was great, lots of staff here so your orders wont be long (but they mentioned here that during peak hours gonna be a bit longer). Food arrived after 5mins of ordering, fresh and !! Portion and food wise is good! Overall im impressed with this shop!
This Ayam Penyat place is great, and the prices are reasonable. The fish was big and could easily feed 2 people. The Ayam Penyat was also very good. The restaurant is usually very crowded. It is worth the wait. This is a local coffee shop restaurant without air conditioning. Don’t expect 1st class comfort or service. Just go the delicious food.
4 adults and 4 teenagers visited on a busy Friday night 8pm. It’s almost full house and thank God we were given a table for 8 of us. We saw the Google review and recommendations from friends whom visited the restaurant. We ordered 8 set of ayam penyet(fried chicken) and add on 2 pieces of extra chicken. We also ordered their barramundi(ikan Siakap) and squid. All were crispy on the outer and juicy inside. The chef knows and control the oil temperature and duration very well. The chilli was spicy and goes well with the dishes and even can eat with rice with just the chilli. We asked for refill of chilli and was given a small bowl. Thanks for the generosity :) We will come again if we happens to this area.
I went with my family and it was a pleasant experience at Z&Z Ayam Penyet. The place has a friendly ambiance and the food (Ayam Penyet) we tried was delicious and kids enjoyed the robot serving the food. The drinks were sweeter than they would be.
We were recommended this eatery by the taxi driver driving us out from the hotel to SKS City Mall. Within walking distance from the mall. Super good and yummy food. The chicken was tender as was the fish. The menu is on a sign in the front of the eatery. Other things like sotong or prawns also available. Service was fast and friendly. Good value for money.
excellent ayam penyet and the sambal is absolutely spicy and delicious. fragrant chicken with great fried breadcrumbs. soup was a little salty (def with quite abit of msg). super value for money. 5 plates of ayam penyet, 1 plate of fried sea bass and 3 drink for RM106. highly recommend! staff was also super super friendly and helpful. cash and QR payment only tho!
