According to a Twitter post from @Newswatch8, Penang is planning to open on Moody Street in the old Tiki House space, with a reply within the thread indicating that it has a connection to Penang in Boston's Chinatown. Based on the offerings at that restaurant, the new spot in Waltham will likely be serving Malaysian fare along with Thai dishes.
The tweet mentions that the new location of Penang has obtained the liquor license formerly held by Garcia Brogan's via bankruptcy court; Garcia Brogan's was a Mexican-Irish spot on Moody Street that closed down late last year.
The address for the upcoming location of Penang in Waltham is 569 Moody Street, Waltham, MA, 02453. The website for the Boston location can be found at https://www.penangmalaysian.com/
[December 11, 2020 update: A Facebook post from The Waltham Channel indicates that Penang ohpes to open this month or in January of 2021.]
