    Amongst all the Chinese cuisines out there, Starview Restaurant is one such place where diners are never disappointed. One of the items that are perennial favourites with long-time customers is their signature Peking Duck ala Starview,…

    Throughout the many years that it has been in operation, Starview has never faltered; so, with a restaurant as reputed as Starview, it’d be wiser to not cynically dismiss reports of how crowded it is throughout the weekends; it’s best to…

    When it comes to Chinese cuisine (Cantonese dishes mostly), I always have a few restaurants in my mind, Hei Yeong Seng Restaurant , CRC Restaurant (in CRC Club) and Starview Restaurant.

    Starview Restaurant which has been around for years is located right in the busy junction of Burma Road and Jalan Telekom. Well, most Penangites will know it as the “every night also packed restaurant”.

    A pretty elegant Chinese restaurant that specialized more on steamboat. But they also have many Chinese dishes. Comfy seating and very friendly service. The food here are generally tasty and nice,not really stand up but good enough.

    Disorganised For bookings during CNY, please ready some tins of kuih kapit as u need that to fuel ur patient. Here’s the story. Book 8pm slot (last slot of the day), hard to find parking but ang kong popi, still manageable.

    Rightfully 2.5/5 stars. Dined on day 2 of CNY 2026. Fish was undercooked, and they forgot that it was not served until we reminded them. Dessert jelly had weird taste. Food served slow at times. Table reserved ahead.

    Waiting for almost 2 hours. Don't know what is the reason, there are many oldest people waiting there... And the organizer can't give any reason of this. Really disappointed, won't come next year.

    It was incredibly delicious! The soup, spare ribs, shrimp noodles, abalone, and cendol were all amazing. I'll definitely come again!

    Food was delicious. You would think that it was easy to find parking.. but when the place is full you better be prepared to walk a bit.
