4 sticks of the chicken satay was not worth it. Serving was small in my opinion. The staff was good. Not much vegetarian options since they use fish sauce which is understandable. Overall 3/5.
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.

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!

YES! AUTHENTIC MALAYSIAN FOOD! highly recommend this place. we requested for our dishes to be made spicy and they absolutely delivered!!! the laksa is super delicious and definitely is something i could find in malaysia. the nasi goreng kampung and wan tan hor are also equally delicious and authentic
the staff members were also very friendly and accommodating :)

Slightly disappointing meal here at Laxsa, but maybe because I have high standards for Malaysian food in general! But the Kangkung (water spinach) belacan was tasty and moorish, and the Char Kuey Teow was pretty good too! Just lacking in wok hei overall.
We made a last minute decision to visit this restaurant. It did not disappoint. We sat on a table outside watching the world go by while drinking the cocktails. The service was very prompt and efficient. The food was delicious, I was full at the end of the meal, but it was that nice I wish I could have ate more.
