Very authentic place. We were recommended to visit this restaurant. There were a lot of locals who just came to enjoy food,
Portions are really huge, so you can share one with a friend. Quite spicy and well made.

Traditional laksa is great. We order the vegetarian Jungle laksa which is really delicious. Roti Canai (fried flat bread with curry dipping sauce) is a must-have too. I also like Malaysian three-layered tea (milk tea) and the “Laxsa lovers” cocktail which I have tried.

As Malaysian from KL, both me and my husband agreed thar their Hokkien noodle was the best outside of Malaysia. My 6 year old doesn't even want to share the noodles with us! Husband was craving for laksa and I wanted to try thier nasi lemak. The laksa was more like KL laksa, so that was perfect for us and we truly enjoy it. Sambal for nasi lemak is a bit blend but ok. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back to try other stuff on their menu.

Been here a couple of times; both pleasant. The Kirin lager is a nice smooth tasting Japanese beer of high quality. Small cosy place with an outdoor seating area available.

Highly recommended place to eat some laksa from the Kebun Teh district of Johor Bahru. I am from the Johor Bahru area so the taste was pretty close to something you would get from the stalls back in Malaysia. The laksa broth is not too overpowering on either the chilli or the coconut and offers a nice balance.
The "kangkung belacan" was not as spicy and savory as I hoped for but it was still pretty yummy. The waiters were also very friendly too.
For larger groups, it would be ideal to pre-book a spot.

Yummiest food ever !! We had lunch between the Harry potter shows. They were accomodating with time and food was absolutely yummy! The flavours was great, not bland at all. I would highly recommend roti kanai with chicken curry.
The restaurent can be decorated a bit more, I thought it was bit dark but might be more lit up at dinner time.

Got the ‘Pad thai £13.50’.
It had prawns, chicken and fish cakes in it.
It was really nice.
The prawns weren’t the freshest though and the pad thai noodles themselves were slightly overcooked.
The service was really good but the restaurant could have been cleaner.

Was craving Singaporean/Malaysian favorites after travelling in Europe for a while and this was a good spot for some comfort food.
I was a lil confused upon entering cos it looked more like a bar than a restaurant and the music was turned up too loud for dining and the lighting was rather dim. So we decided to move upstairs to a more normal dining space.
We ordered their traditional Laksa (I changed my noodles to the yellow noodles), nasi lemak, gado gado, satay, Roti Canai to share. We each had a glass of Teh Tarik.
Laksa - yum! The gravy was lighter than what I’m used to but very tasty and went well with the noodles. Good amount of ingredients.
Nasi Lemak - the rice (the most important part!) was fragrant with light coconut flavour
Gado Gado - the sweet peanut sauce was perfect with the boiled vegetables
Satay - which was ordered as part of the appetisers came abit too late (after we had finished most of our meal) was thick and chunky. It was the least impressive of the lot but maybe cos we were too full to enjoy it.
Roti Canai - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfect with the curry dip.
Teh tarik - was surprisingly good. I asked mine to be less sweet and it was done just right.
Definitely worth a visit if you have a craving!
