    Laxsa is a delightful restaurant in every way, from service to palate. The food is hearty and deep with flavour (esp. the eponymous laksa), and the staff are so warm and incredibly observant of your needs.

    Feels quite cheap and cheerful. We went during happy hour so had two for one on negronis (though they weren't very good). The noodles were pretty tasty but this is basic Malaysian street food so probably a bit overpriced for what it is. The prawn crackers were fine. The fried chicken was pretty disgusting. Needed some decent beers on the menu. Seemed clean at least.

    One of our party had a peanut allergy. Restaurant couldn’t offer a single item of food on their menu that would be free of peanut allergens. They then kicked us out whilst we were trying to find either a place for your friend to buy food from so she could eat with us, or another place to eat. They kicked us out leaving us scrambling to find another place to eat on a Friday night. Restaurant’s only concern is maximising revenues/getting diners in and out as quickly as possible.

    The classic laxsa contained prawns, bean curd puffs, chicken and thin noodles. It was a creamy and spicy soup. Amex cards aren’t accepted.

    Tasty food! Generous portion sizes too. My only criticism is that the fried chicken would have benefited from some salt.

    I am Malaysian and this is one of our go-to restaurant for our local cuisine in London. Definitely try the Hokkien Fried Noodle and the Nasi Goreng Kampung.

    One can really have the authentic taste of Malaysian cuisine. The WOK HEY aroma smell of the FRIED KUAY TEOW was enticing. For the LAKSA, there's enough coconut taste in the curry. The prawns were fresh too.

    Love the food, drinks were nice and strong, service was good too, the only thing I didn't like was the seats, please invest in some cushions or seats with padding as they are not at all comfortable.
