Laut

Tasty, Flavorful, and Savory. The staff was very observant, aware, and efficient. I got a seated right away. Chicken Satay so yummy! Roti is nice and light with the savory dipping sauce. Nasi Lemak was a great sampling of variety textures, ingredients, and flavors of Malaysian Cuisine. Just Good.

The waitstaff was so friendly and thoughtful! They took care to show us the jumbo size for their pulled tea, and they made sure to ask about allergies or dietary restrictions. When I booked the 3pm reservation, they called me to recommend coming earlier since they close at 3:30pm. We also really loved the food! The roti canai was as good as the Worth It video and all the reviews said! And the beef rendang and soft shell crab were both hits! The mango salad was okay. And of course the pulled milk tea was amazing! Would come again if we could!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Wonderful homemade recipes with incredible flavors. You can tell everything is from scratch. Lovely ambiance. Bustling lunch scene. I will send all my friends here!!

My second time coming to Laut. I got the Ultimate Curry Laksa because it was amazing the first time and even better this time! My server, Steven, was so helpful and friendly. I was dining alone this time and was glad I was under his supervision! He provided guidance to my order when I asked and was very attentive. Thank you so much to Steven and Laut, I will be back!

What an incredible place! Food was amazing, service was very quick and the servers professional. What else could you ask for?

I will definitely be coming back. Just make sure you book it advance, as it gets really busy - and for a good reason!

First, they were able to accommodate a group of 9 at 6pm without reservation by make shifting a table outside— thanks for saving the day! Like always the food is incredible. Everything marked spicy is definitely pretty spicy, depending on your tolerance, but felt the heat and had to keep eating the coconut rice (which was delicious). Favorites are nasi goreng plate and the green curry. And if you’re not going for spicey, the pad se ew.

Stumbled upon this place while finding a good dinner spot to catch up with my friend. It turned out to be a great choice - would definitely recommend for a cute date or just catching up with old friends! Loved the Malaysian food here - and apparently it was one of the first Malaysian restaurants to receive a Michelin Star in NY! We went on a weekday night, and it was still pretty full so definitely recommend a reservation!

Food-wise, we ordered the Asam Laksa (as-it) noodle soup, which according to the menu was Anthony Bourdain's favorite dish. I think it's definitely an authentic dish - personally I thought it had very interesting flavors, but want to warn folks who do not like strong flavors - especially with the fish sauce and raw onions.
We also ordered the Ultimate Curry Laksa noodle soup - with seafood, strongly recommend this!! Flavorful and thick noodle soup - so very fulfilling comfort food.
The appetizer we ordered is Roti Telur, which is Indian pancake with egg, hot pepper, and onion, and is served with spicy curry dip. We enjoyed this too - fluffy pancake texture and spicy dip.

Service is pretty fast, but can be tricky when it gets busy. The menu seems to contain a lot of other authentic dishes that I haven't had a chance to try yet - will definitely go back to try more! I saw that my friends ordered coconut pudding, which is on my list. All in all, atmosphere-wise - would definitely recommend for a cute date or just catching up with old friends!
