Absolutely loved the food here! We ordered the deep fried chicken with lemon, claypot tofu and lotus pond stir fry vegetables and every dish was delicious! Price point is above average but it is definitely worth it for the cozy & welcoming environment, tasty dishes and hospitable service that you will be getting. Food was served fairly quickly and the waitstaff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Would return here for a good 'zhu char' meal and would definitely recommend to family and friends!

First time visiting this Cantonese restaurant and I was really impressed! The poached chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful，definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. The Cordyceps chicken soup was also very nourishing and delicious. I’m especially grateful to the lady boss for her thoughtful hospitality, which made the evening even more special and memorable. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere makes this a perfect spot dinning with family and friends. I’ll surely be back again!

"The word '掂' "DIAN" comes from the Cantonese language, which means 'to get the hang of it right' - It represents the precision of the heat and the balance of flavors, and it is also an attitude towards the ultimate pursuit of life and food. As the brand's flagship store, '掂' "DIAN" focuses on Cantonese-style stir-fry, Nyonya-style dishes, and the signature / homemade ingredients. The combination of ingenious craftsmanship and the aesthetic flavour presented by the contemporary environment. Diners will be indulged by walking towards the restaurant. In addition, Diners will have an exquisite dining experience that is both down-to-earth and stylish.

I recently visited Dian Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious!!!! every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. You can really tell that they use fresh, high-quality ingredients especially the hor fun that was imported from China! You cant get this anywhere in Penang! The ambiance was equally wonderful: warm, inviting, and perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. If you’re looking for a place with great food and a lovely atmosphere, I highly recommend Dian Restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back!!!!!
