The soup had a lot of flavour. The pork was soft, the egg was perfect, and the prawns were fresh. I really liked it. Big bowl and good price. I want to go again!пыльнаяРАБОТА ★★★★★ There is always a long line for dine in and take out, so tasty and comforting . Large servings , they give discounts to customers who leaves on time after eating and give way their tables for others.Jans S. ★★★★★ Malaysian food with reasonable price but delicious.J R ★★★★★ There's a reason why this place was heaving on a Sunday night.We were a group of 8 and decided to get on the virtual queue. Although the wait for a table was long, it was worth it.We all ordered various Laksas. Vegetarian, a few duck, and chicken - the first thing to commend is the speediness of service despite being jammed packed. Secondly, it was the size of the portions, absolutely enormous and reflective of what you'd see in Malaysia and similar countries that have laksa as part of their diet. Broth was super flavourful and the meats were soft and tender.We also had an order of nasi Goreng which equally lived up to the hype.Definitely worth a visit.Abhinav B. ★★★★★ A very busy place. We were craving for nice laksa and came across laksa king. A must visit place. They said they take walkins, but we realised they book you once u reach. Place was very busy with upto 30mkns wait time. Quick serving and tasty food.himanshu G. ★★★★★ Always an enjoyable experience and my family and friends agreeNicole S. ★★★★★ My favourite restaurant in Melbourne for Asian cuisine!!

Have never needed to book either, happy to just arrive and wait until a table is freeEd ★★★★★ We went with a large family of 18ppl, awesome food and great staff. BYOW made it easier and added value to the enjoymentShankar S. ★★★★★ Review for Laksa KingLaksa King never disappoints! The Fish Fillet Noodle Soup is an absolute standout—its light, creamy, and tangy broth is perfectly balanced, with fresh, tender fish fillets throughout. It’s easily my favorite dish here.The laksa is just as impressive, delivering a rich, authentic flavor that truly brings a taste of Southeast Asia to Melbourne. If you’re after genuine, high-quality Malaysian cuisine, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!Leanne S. ★★★★★ Amazing place for a variety of Malaysian foods including different types of Laksa, Klang Bakuteh and others.It is quite spacious and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Last but not least, the food was really delicious too.Ryan Hjs_loader

Dive into the Culinary Legacy

Laksa King, A Melbourne Icon Since 1998

In a legendary culinary tale of Melbourne, Esmond Wong created Laksa King in 1998. Emerging from the vibrant tapestry of a small arcade off Racecourse Rd, Flemington, this gastronomic haven quickly became the stuff of local legend.

The clamour for its extraordinary flavours resonated far beyond the arcade’s confines, prompting Esmond to orchestrate a move to grander quarters in 2010 – the birth of the Laksa King we revere today.

Embark on a journey through our expanded repertoire, where each dish is a revelation, a testament to Esmond’s unyielding commitment to culinary excellence. The extensive variety caters to the demands of our loyal patrons and invites the seasoned connoisseur to explore the depths of authentic Malaysian-Chinese fusion.
