Restoran Nasi Kandar Line Clear

The first time I tried the nasi kandar here was many years ago, easily 20 years. Ever since then, I would always attempt to have a meal here every time I come to Penang. I had another chance today and this time, took some pics and decided to write a review. This place is a gem, an iconic spot for any nasi kandar lover, seriously a must-try and one of the best NK I've ever had. Over the years, they still maintained the taste despite several issues which I've heard about the shop in the past, be it with authorities and the shop management conflicts (I think I read the news from reliable sources but if I'm wrong and if they are just rumours, my apologies). Whatever said and done, one thing is for sure, they serve top notch NK here and for years, at least from my own experience, they have never compromised the taste and quality. Service is also equally good and well maintained. Definitely gonna keep coming back for many more years to come!!

The food is really delicious! First, you line up to order your lunch, then find a seat and enjoy meal. After finish eating direct pay at the counter. Our lunch usually costs around RM6–9 per person, or about RM10+ if you include a drink. The shop can be a bit tricky to find parking for, so it’s recommended to park along Lebuh Chulia Street.

It was Just only RM28.00 for me having a plate full of Nasi Kandar of Two pieces of medium size Squids, Vegetables, Fried Egg and Cooling Ice Milk Tea. Its Delicious.

The taste is average, the price is average, but it's actually a bit more expensive than other nasi kandar dishes. I prefer Deen Mutiara's Nasi kandar, as the spices are more pronounced. order onion chicken rice + onion egg 11RM (they asking our nationality before deciding price don't know what for🤣)

First time having Nasi Kandar, it was delicious. Was greeted by one of the family business owner. Very nice in helping me order and we had a good conversation.

Was looking for a place to have roti canai and stumbled upon Line Clear few nights ago and it was a pleasant surprise! The staff were friendly and THE FOOD WAS SO GOOOOOD. We ordered a normal roti canai, a cheese roti canai, a roti tissue, teh and iced milo and it ended my night on such a high! (though it felt so sinful because of the amount of oil used 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨) Food aside, I just really like that the stall is walkway sandwiched between two other stalls, it gave a impromptu, adventurous vibes and that felt JUST RIGHT for supper 😋 The food was also reasonably priced ! Most importantly, the staff were so humourous LOL 😆😆

This is our first time here. Food is yummy and staff friendly. It was quite easy to get a table. Overall yummy experience!

I’ve had one of the best Roti Canai ever! if you are looking for typical Indian food at a fair price, this is the place you should go to.

Went in with high expectations due to the Anthony Bourdain visit (R.I.P), but was let down. To be brutally honest, this was my first Nasi Kandar, but it was just OK. Spice level on point; otherwise wasn't too impressed with chicken tenderness, curry consistency/flavor, or rice texture. My wife got the vegetable curry which was OK, pretty plain.

As a visitor to Malaysia, I haven't had Nasi Kandahar before. I visited with the family and was immediately taken by all the deliciousness that you can pile on top of your plate. I took advantage and visited for an early lunch before the crowd started to gather. I can definitely see how a repeat visit was necessary, as there were so many dishes I wanted to try. I love that Yu can get a small serving of lots of things too and share it with the family. As with all street food, hygiene is always going to be an issue. I think it's a matter of do at your own risk, but I can never go past a good local eat!

So I grew up eating nasi kandar and I have tried many places over the last decade or so. I was told by my Penang friends that Line Clear Nasi Kandar is the best of the best nasi kandar anyone could have in Penang or probably in Malaysia. While I was in Penang last month, I decided to give Line Clear a try. And yes, I had my hopes high that it would be the best that I have ever tried. My parents and I decided to not drive here but to walk as our hotel was just 10 minutes away. We almost missed it and mistook the mamak in front was Line Clear. Luckily I saw their sign board pointing inside. It look rather clean rather than dirty, as it was reported in the news Line Clear was a rather unhygienic eatery. I saw them cooking lot of fish head curry, tempting really but they don't serve them for lunch. So I went on to have their nasi briyani, fried chicken, cabbage and squid, with curry flooding my rice. Well, I would say, it looked good but really it didn't taste as great as I thought it would be. To my standards, it is like any mamak but not a good one. I have had better nasi kandar in KL and PJ and the nasi ganja in Ipoh is way lots better than this. I don't understand the hype, I may have gone at the wrong time but nonetheless, I did not enjoy my lunch.

So I came here after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain, that and the fact it was walking distance from my hotel. When I arrived around 10pm there weren't many people but more started streaming in after about half an hour - this is a 24 hour place so you can eat any time of the day! I got a fried chicken leg with biryani rice and an assortment of curries. I was lamenting that I didn't have a closer look and choose some more things to stack on my plate. Ordered an old favourite of teh tarik (pulled milk tea) and after my meal felt like something sweet. That's when I noticed the roti vendor further down - flagged over a staff and ordered a roti tissu (thin tissue like roti with condensed milk). It was delicious but not consistent in the thinness and crunch. Perhaps more butter was needed. Overall the meal came to a grand total of $13.3 ringgit. Pretty good value I'd say!

This place is in an alley. When I visited Malaysia, my friend told me to try Nasi Kandar, so I came here! I came of a weekday around 8PM. The place wasn't full, so they workers got to explain to me how things work. I think you basically pick a protein and then you can get a mix of different curries on top of you rice. I got the fried chicken and I added okra. The fried chicken had really good flavor! I was impressed. The mix of different curry sauces also blended together really well! You pay after you eat, so don't try to pay right when you get your food. I would definitely come back. It was a little on the pricey side. 16RM, maybe because I also added the fish egg cake sort of thing? Anyways, this was a good first Nasi Kandar experience.

When you are in Penang you have to eat nasi Kandar. It's so exciting! The best parts at the rainbows colors of curry. If you never know that curry comes in many many options, Nasi Kandar is the way to go. You will be in flavor overload. Keep in mind this is not simple food. This place isn't bad.. I've had better but they do have the varieties. I love fish curry. That's my Togo curry for my nasi Kandar. If you love curry and you are in Penang. Please try nasi Kandar. You will not be disappointed.

This mamak stall has operated its business for more than 3 decades.. Despite the cleanliness and rats running around, this infamous food stall is definitely a top choice when it comes to Nasi Kandar if you ever craving for the delicious original taste of Penang Nasi Kandar.

To eat the perfect Nasi Kandar, you just need to drive to Penang, and find for the only place that really gives you the only plate of Nasi Kandar that you will want; Line Clear. Line Clear may be a long lost slang in Malaysia, but its notion of providing a large plate of rice with a variety of different, assorted things on it has been a tradition for all foodies in Malaysia, or around the world for that matter. You can complement the rice with copious amounts of curry beef, or have it be doused with squid ink, a unique combination that will keeps you wanting more. Do not go there in the afternoon though; my afternoon experience in this sacred place is a huge no-no in comparison to the midnight escapades, where the crowd is lesser, and there are arguably more choices of food. It is also a 24/7 restaurant, a plus for its already growing status to be legendary.

Line clear is well one of the most famous nasi kandar places in penang! Penang is well known for its nasi kandar and for it to be best in the finest, that's saying something. The queue for the place can take awhile, takes about 15 to 20 minutes on average dinner time. It is practically a tiny alley which is set up to resemble a mamak but it is much smaller. There are platters of curry and rice. It comes with a standard chicken, your choice of curry and of course rice. You could also pick some other seafood like squid and such if that's more of your liking. Drinks are served to your table as they will come for the order. Make sure you grab some seats before you head on to the queue. Everything is pretty much self service except for the drinks. Parking can be a pain but there is a parking lot right across Line Clear so have a look our for that.
