Restaurant 77 has been around for three decades and nothing much has changed from their recipes. They are known for their curry fish head by locals. If you’ve not tried Chinese style curry fish head, this is the spot to be.

Restaurant 77 is located on a small stand alone shop house along Gurney Drive. It’s probably the most simple dish of the lot but I do enjoy the fish toufu squares. Here’s their famous curry fish head.

Facing Gurney Drive on Penang island, you’d be forgiven for not realising that there’s a restaurant here – the sign is small and the building looks like a rundown old house.

I was already intrigued when I saw their 4.6-star Google review, and even more so when my colleague recommended the place, as she has been enjoying their food since young.

This restoran is superb! Should rate this 5 stars!!! Highly recommended when you are in Penang. All the dishes we've tried are super good especially the salted egg tofu, tom yum fried rice, Kang kong, otak otak, clams and asam prawn!

Limited space available, best to call to reservation before dine in. We came in around 11:15am and was told 12:30pm the table we sitting was reserved, if we able to leave at 12:30pm then it's okay for us to dine in.

The young female Waitress is rude. Impatient when taking orders. Kicked/trip on our chair several times, no Apologies. And once pulled a chair when i was standing by it, tripping my feet, looked at me but no apologies.

An unassuming establishment filled with family warmth and love. Their otak-otak was Delicious with a capital “D”, and the tom yum soup is an absolute must-try. It is so flavourful that one bowl is simply never enough.

A very simple restaurant without any frills, but with truly fantastic food. The Curry Fish Head is especially recommended – incredibly aromatic and absolutely delicious. One of those dishes you absolutely must try.

The food here is delicious. We stayed nearby and this was one of the best restaurants in the area (most of the other restaurants in Gurney are overpriced and mediocre). Recommend the curry fish head and otak otak.

The curry is good, the otak otak can be better. Kai lan portion is a bit small. But over all are still good. Just the place is a bit small to accommodate more people.
