Wood-Fired Excellence and Exceptional Steakcraft
Firewood Penang is the destination in George Town for memorable, wood-fired cooking and steakhouse-level execution, where show-stopping cuts and thoughtfully composed plates meet an inviting, slightly theatrical open-kitchen vibe. Patrons rave about the steaks — especially premium cuts like A5 Miyazaki Wagyu — which arrive tender, richly flavored, and expertly recommended by knowledgeable staff. The restaurant’s approach includes a hands-on explanation of cuts and cooking suggestions that enhance the meal, and that kind of guided service elevates the experience beyond a typical dinner.
Menu highlights span from succulent lamb and duck pairings to delicate Hokkaido scallops and a truffle mushroom soup that showcases depth and balance. Sides and accompaniments are treated with equal care, while the risotto has been called one of the best many guests have tasted — rich, perfectly textured, and intensely satisfying. The desserts, like a refined tiramisu, and creative non-alcoholic cocktails (such as a refreshing yuzu mint) complete meals in a way that leaves a lasting impression. Service staff, repeatedly named for their attentiveness and professionalism, add a personal touch that makes celebrations and anniversaries feel special.
Atmospherically, the open-fire cooking and comfortable, classy dining room create a warm, convivial environment that’s both intimate and lively. Firewood has become a trusted choice for over 2,700 diners seeking exceptional steaks, inventive mains, and a polished, educational service style that helps guests get the most from every cut. If you’re after a premium, wood-fired meal in Penang with impeccable technique and a welcoming team, Firewood Penang delivers.

in the last weekThe food was so good! The steak was beyond my expectations, and the firewood sirloin is definitely a must-try. The desserts were also 👍. Special credit to Ms. Tasha, who kindly helped me hold my table as I was travelling from Kuala Lumpur and got caught in a bad traffic jam. Another shout-out to Vincent, who gave us a very good explanation of all the dishes before we ordered. His recommendations were really helpful. We will definitely come back again whenever we are in Penang! ❤️

in the last weekAged beef was so good. Just simply pair with the salt and garlic was good. Chicken was cooked in a Peranakan flavour, coconut milk with kaffir leave flavour with watermelon compote. Risotto was so creamy and rich. Charred cabbage has the smoking to it that goes well with their sauce.
