    The version here at Ah Chui had an incredible “wok hei” (pan-seared aroma) that I didn't quite expect - it was delicious. I'd come back here

    My real intent of visiting Ayer Itam is for Ah Chui. Seafood is high on the agenda and fact is, they only do seafood. Don't expect pork, beef or chicken at this humble outlet.

    Ah Chui Seafood is a ‘chu char’ place tucked away in a row of shophouses facing the very busy Jalan Paya Terubong in Penang. This outlet specializes in seafood and is popular among the neighborhood! Choose from a wide array of seafood dishes and noodles.

    What an absolutely fantastic seafood experience! Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly executed. This meal was a true showcase of excellent Malaysian-style seafood cooking.

    Delicious seafood and comfort food in classic zhu-char style. It was packed on Mother’s Day—we waited about an hour, and some dishes arrived a little late. Despite the delay, everything was flavourful and satisfying.

    Every dish was too salty, and the taste wasn't as good as it used to be. The food was served incredibly slowly; they would bring out three dishes and then pause for ten minutes, and the soup only arrived when we were almost finished with…

    Think the shop mainly serves travel buses. Damn lots of buses Waited roughly 40mins for the food. Food was good but nothing too exciting

    Red lionfish, sweet and sour pork, tofu, and small crabs RM348.80. Check the receipt. What do you think of the price? Is it expensive?

    Taste is good, nostalgic taste that reminds me of childhood taste. Gam heong crab, lime steam clam, and grill sting ray are my favorite.

    His rice tastes terrible! All the dishes are very sweet, and all the dishes contain a lot of starch. I don't know why!
