Highly recommendedSourabh G. ★★★★★ Never wanted to hug a bowel of noodles so bad. If you like strong spicy noodle soups, har mee is for you. The fish fillet is so soft, the two different noodle types (thick and thin) offers an exciting experience. The broth was spicy and salty and flavourful.Betty S ★★★★★ If you're in the area, try it now.It's easily one of the best restaurants in town, and arguably the best place for laksa in Melbourne. If you like rich, coconuty soup, and well-textured noodles, this place us for you. A personal favourite is the shrimp dumpling spicy soy entree.Jackson S.js_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.
