    The entrance

    Service was good but the food had no punch or pizzazz as I have had the Laksa and Hainan chicken in Malaysia ,,,, maybe better for Non Asians ... noticed that although it was full at lunch time , it was all non Asians ... parking was terrible with the construction. Ambience was more a 50's Diner out of Happy Days without Potsy, Arnold , Richie or the Fonz ... a twist of Asian Fusion ????

    We really enjoy the laksa here. It is flavourful and really hit the spot. I recently decided to try this Burmese fish broth vermicelli soup called Mohinga. OMG! It was so good. The layer of flavours in the soup was so satisfying. It is not spicy on its own but dry chili flakes was served on a side dish so it is entirely up to you to use it or not. I almost finished all the soup. I am now torn between the laksa or this.

    Came here since we are both craving laksa, it looks like a diner with all the decorations and booths but it's serving authentic laksa and other dishes. I got one with less spice and rice noodle, it's very delicious, full of flavors. I enjoyed the chicken so much, I think they marinade it beforehand which gives it elevated flavors. They also have a noodle dish that's limited to weekends called kyay oh, I will try that next time. Service is pretty fast.

    Laksa from Laksa King

    Always lives up to its namesake. Nothing like it on a shitty rainy Saturday. Very pleasant welcoming staff, prompt service. What's not to love. Unless, of course if you are an "elite" from south of the border. As Bourdain said: "The bane of the internet ".

    If you're looking for authentic, affordable, and rich tasting laksa in Vancouver, look no further than Laksa King! The food was prepared quickly and tasted exceptionally great.

    My go to for Beef Redang.The retro booths and murals add to the eclectic charm Daisy makes this east Van hidden gem rock.

    Roti canai

    Adding to my previous review... I came here again as this place is perfect - convenient for me, inexpensive and good. Roti canai as usual is very flaky and just an absolute favorite in my family. We ordered beef Rendang and Laksa and both are excellent. I think I prefer the vermicelli to the egg noodle but that's just personal preference. Laksa has great flavour. I split with my son but wouldn't have minded having it all to myself! Def one of my favorite Malaysian places.

    Tried the mohingar, roti canai ($14 for 2) and skewers. The skewers were good (almost $4 each) which is rather expensive. Overall it was ok. The roti was fluffy but very small, the skewers were marinated nicely and was tender but the Mohingar was a let down. Although flavoursome it lacked protein (only 1 hard boiled egg). There's fish in it but fried and cooked to smithereens in the broth to a consistency of a smoothie. I had asked for additional meat on the side and the waitress said it's not recommended as it's a fish broth. It's a very small restaurant with even smaller booths. A tight squeeze to eat with 4 people in a booth.

    This is maybe the 4th or 5th time I've been here! I think their laksa is the best I've had in recent years in the city. The broth is tasty, spicy (but not too much), and has a good curry flavour. I opted for the mixed noodles (egg and vermicelli) and I liked the texture blending. I especially liked the tofu puffs soaking in the broth, and the large shrimps! A perfect dish for me, for this wintery season. Service is very quick and attentive! They accept credit card now (not just debit or cash), which I think is a new thing since the last time I'd been here. Not pictured, but my friend and I also ordered the roti canai appetizer! It was flaky and crispy in all the right ways. I found it to be a bit too oily though...

    Authentic Malaysian food! I tried the Laksa and it was great and it comes with lots of ingredients! The beef Rendang was great too with very tender meat and flavorful sauce. The roti canai was also delicious and I believe they are made fresh and not like some places that serve frozen one. Ambience is not the best and it looks like an old diner but who cares if food is good!

    Laksa with egg noodle~

    My first time having laksa and it was yummy. The parking is a bit tricky, as you need to park on the streets somewhere nearby. The inside of the restaurant somewhat resembles a diner. We ordered the laksa. We had the choice of vermicelli noodles, egg noodles, or mixed noodles. I've tried both noodles before and prefer egg noodles because they went well with the savory and creamy soup. The laksa contained chicken, shrimp, fish balls, tofu, and a hard boil egg. I can't handle spicy so we ordered it mild, but it still came with a kick. I also got lime/lemon on the side to squeeze into my soup. I will definitely be back when I'm craving laksa.

    One of the better places to get a bowl of decently spiced laksa in the lower mainland. The type where you don't have to ask or remind them to "make it spicy" cause well that's how it is usually served. The roti this time wasn't as soft or flaky as I prefer and was a tad too burnt or crispy for my liking. However, two large pieces so no one left hungry. Service is non intrusive but you tend to have to ask or flag down someone if you need anything. Not the type of place where they come fill your water glass or ask how your meal is. Diner style seating with some tables & chairs. No fuss decor as it definitely appeared to be leftover fixtures from previous establishment. Gives it character I suppose.

    Their signature laksa soup, requested extra spicy-hot

    This place is a must try! I have enjoyed laksa at numerous Metro Vancouver places and this place is the very best by far! Rich, deep, and awesome flavour. Service was friendly and dining room was clean. A real gem!

    One of the worst laska I've ever had.. overly salty and greasy. Can't taste the coconut, completely inedible.

    I rarely give out a 5 but 3/3 dishes made me wonder "why have I need eaten more Burmese food?"…read moreThe tea leaf salad was the star,.. cheap, filling, great. Biryani with cinnamon and the Burmese pork sausage noodles... all amazing flavours, yet not overly spicy at all. The clincher was the prices. My wife and I think we could have done fine with the salad ($10) and a single noodle or rice dish ($15 each). This place is top of my "return" list.

    Great little hole in the wall eatery serving Burmese (and adjacent) foods…read more I had the Tea Salad, which was unique, refreshing and delicious. Note that it should be eaten right away, as even just after only 20 minutes of sitting, the "magic" had largely left the salad... I also had the Shan Noodles - it was tasty. A touch sweet, a tiny bit of background heat (I would have liked more), along with notes of funky brine from the pickled vegetables and beans. Not piping hot, but more a warm-ish dish. Unfortunately I had already mixed it up before I remembered to take a photo! It comes with a very light broth, which I am not sure the point of... maybe if it was a spicy dish, I could understand it. My dining companions shared the pad thai and the marinated chicken with coconut rice. As suspected, the pad thai was not a star, at least for me - it is quite sweet and made with ketchup instead of tamarind. If you like that style, then yes, it was well made. The marinated chicken with coconut rice - well, tbh the little side cabbage salad (very fresh & zingy with chilis) and the coconut rice (wow) were astonishingly delicious. The marinade for the chicken was tasty, but I was underwhelmed with the actual chicken, but then I'm not a fan of long braised poultry, so if you are, I'm sure you will enjoy it. The service was very friendly. The place is tiny, and when I showed up at 11:30 on a Sunday, it was empty, and by noon, almost all the tables were full. Lots of families seem to go there. It's definitely worth checking out!
