Nasi lemak is delicious and flavoursome. Portion is just right! Food took a while to be ready though. Beef laksa was also nice and had good portion meat. Received discount on an app to make it good value.
Enjoyed the curry laksa along with Satay sauce n Roti Chanai.
One of my favorite Malaysian restaurant at southeast suburb, I go at least once a week to fix my cravings for laksa šš» my favorite food there is Fish laksa, Satay and Singapore noodle
Enjoyable hang out when catching up with friends one on one, have done this twice. Close to the cinemas, amazing decor, very modern and gives off an enchanted vibe. Vegetarian laksa is vegan and I love it! The waiter staff are very friendly and allow customers to take their left overs home, a massive thumbs up from me since the laksas are MASSIVE ā¤ļø
Nice little restaurant - busy as it is right next to the cinemas inside Southland shopping centre.
I had the chicken laksa which was flavoursome and delicious. Portion was large and super filling.
Food was delicious and ambience was good. Portion size was quite big and good for sharing. Staff were friendly too. Definitely going back to try some of their other dishes.
Great food and friendly service. Thereāre some unique dishes such as fried duck and best teh tarik ever tried. Iāll absolutely recommend this restaurant due to their consistency of good food quality and customer service.

Visited Laksa King for some dinner last night. Food was really good and delicious. The vibe is great here as it's right next to the cinema area in Southland. The staff is friendly as well definitely worth visiting here if your at Southland.
This is the best restaurant in Southland, and one of the only good restaurants in Southland. You canāt go wrong with anything you order. Try the Nasi Goreng, chicken curry with roti bread, spring rolls, or dumplings, theyāre all fantastic. Of course thereās the laksa, which is some of the best Iāve tasted. This place is licensed, so have a beer with your spicy meal. Good size servings. Good price. Please stop charging merchants fee.
Love the laksa king. Tried this one for the first time recently and itās as good as the one in Kensington. Food is tasty with good portion sizes and comes out really quickly after ordering. Prices seems to be on point as well. Recommend!
Lovely place in southland, very newly renovated and open environment, love the peanut sauce for the chicken satay skewers and definitely one of the best chicken satay skewers out there. Laksa is decent but the char kuey teow is really good! Itās on the chefās special menu but itās really delicious. The five spice chicken is definitely my favourite dish here
We frequent here pretty regularly and have never been let down. I must admit I'm no Laksa or Malaysian expert but my partner and I are always been extremely happy with the quality of food, service and portion sizes at this place.
The staff are always very attentive and nice. I always get the vegan laksa and it is delicious. The soup part is always very nice, same with the noodles! It is a very large bowl which is always appreciated. Although I must say, sometimes the veggies donāt seem very fresh, for example the beans are shrivelled when they should be nice and crunchy. Apart from this, very yummy!
Lately on Zomato, weāve been having a little chatter about Laksa King based on someoneās review. I mentioned that I liked Laksa King Flemington better than their Glen Waverley branch. This got me thinkingā¦ howās Laksa King Kitchen in Southland? Iāve always been a bit skeptical with this one in Southland because of the demographics. Itās located inside the cinema area, and seems to be trying to attract pre and post movie goers. Well look who the cat dragged in on this occasion?! ME!
Went with a friend after craving Laksa for ages! I got my usual Prawn Laksa which never fails. I demolished the serving, tasted great. But the highlight had to be my friends Fried Fish Laksa, it was delicious. The fish was well cooked, flaking away. The batter on the fish soaked in the Laksa, making the fish like little flavour explosions... Let's be real, just go try it!
Such a convenient spot for after the movies. Clean, efficient and well priced yummy food. I wish I could get past the seafood laksa but canāt š³ It is just too good and filled with squid, prawns and scallops. I must go again and try something else!!

You have to wonder about your fellow man when you see complaints about the signature dish of this place, the Laksa. Either these reviewers are from a parallel universe or their taste buds need educating. But it does serve to show how far this country has come from meat and three veg. The seafood curry laksa is a splendid creation and you will be savouring it for hours after you eat it. Just tell me it does not look good. It helps they make a coeliac version just for me with extra rice noodles. There are only two dishes I eat here: the aforementioned SCL and the Singapore Noodle which has both a lightness of texture, and meaty heartiness all at once. Add a zing of lemon and it is meal in itself. The venue is passably ordinary with shoppers and movie goers parading past all the time. And it is noisy. But it is the best place to eat in Southland by a country mile. I like to watch them cook it up behind the glass partitions. And I love the fact I can get my fix closer to home, and avoid the long trudge to Flemington. Service can be slow, so a point deducted for that. Seafood Curry Laksa from Laksa King: Accept No Substitutes.
Laksa king kitchen is a great addition to Southland shopping centre. The menu offers a wide variety of Malaysian cuisine.
I would recommend the Singapore noodles, the roti wraps and the steamed prawn dumplings. Sadly the beef laksa I ordered was terrible. The sauce was 99% coconut milk. I couldn't taste anything else. And I have had laksa many times. The beef was also thin, dry and of low quality.
I would return in the future, but avoid the laksa.
Decided to try here tonight for dinner before going to the movies and I was not disappointed. The food came out very quickly which was good & was fresh and tasty. All the flavours in their food was delicious and traditional! Will definitely be returning again!
Very impressed with the food here, the food served here can be found on the streets of Malaysia and Singapore as hawker food, and this is the fancier version (with taste to match too). Food taste authentic, my Hainan chicken was very tender and juicy, the chicken rice cooked just right - with amazing aroma, a must try if you go there. Girlfriend ordered duck laksa, the soup was creamy with just the right amount of spiciness - also a highly recommended dish. I have been there multiple times and also tried the duck fried rice, although there wasn't much duck in it, the dish itself was delicious. I cannot fault anything I have ordered there. Service was average, sometimes have to wait a bit before you can catch a waiter's attention to order food. The dishes are a little bit dearer than your average Asian restaurant, around $15-$20 per dish. But it is definitely worth it, I go there every time I see a movie at Southland.
Checked out this place after having tried the Flemington branch the last time I was here. There are a few advantages of coming here instead. No queues, plenty of of seats and it's location of being in a Westfield mall means plenty of options when it comes to parking and shopping.
The group I was with ordered the duck and seafood laksa. The laksa gravy was pretty good although I wasn't used to having short beans in it. The duck laksa would be a lot better if the duck meat was shredded rather than sliced. I also ordered the teh tarik which was quite good too.
Overall I liked the food served here and would definitely come again. Definitely recommended if you are craving Laksa and don't wish to queue up at the Flemington branch. šš¼
Decent flavour, large serving size and variety of vegetables. With its many meal options this place is by far the best Asian restaurant in southland.
Went here for the second time recently & thought the 1st time was only average. This time I got the duck laksa & it was delicious. I prefer my food very hot (temp) & it didnāt disappoint. I will go back for sure & if you like duck & laksa then this soup is for you!!
Iāve been here long time ago. It was super big and delicious laksa.. I even canāt finish it. Nice big space, service was ok, perfect for having dinner after movie.
Laksa noobie right here!!
Grabbed the vego curry laksa and i was left fuller than ever. The bowl was huge, loved the variety of veggies and noodles in the bowl and the broth was sooo good!! My mission was to finish it because i dont want to leave good food too waste. The place also looked so refreshing compared to the other dull, dark resturants in that southland strip.
I'm rating high for the vegetarian laksa here cos it's that good! This place is in Southland though and is otherwise a bit expensive for what it is (except veg laksa is like $14 and is totally worth it) always a plentiful amount of veggies that are fresh and the laksa is not too oily, Yummmm!
Been here 5 times and my family and friends absolutely adores the food. The customer service was barely average. The ambiance is great and lively but also feels sort of rushed?
Their food is worth it though. Highly recommend their char kway teow (generous with their seafood), laksa king's fried rice, vegetarian fried rice, seafood laksa and five spice calamari. Last but not the least, the regular star of show, their wassabi prawns; which were creamy and crispy and packed full of flavour, not too spicy at all.
I've tried their stir fried vegetables from their special menu but sadly it was bland and hardly cooked (even my mom who loves crunchy vegetables found it hard to enjoy).
I hope the restaurant continues to do well and expand with more vegetarian/vegan friendly dishes.
Lively Friday night meal at Laksa King. Service was quick and unassuming, food quick to table and pleasant staff. Chicken ribs cooked well, flavoursome with crispy skin to contrast the meaty portions and fluffy rice. Lemon tea was ok. Sitting area decor was a fresh, modern indoor courtyard feel, atmosphere busy with chatter and activity. It was busy during dinner service, though the wait did not seem too long. Good selection of Malay/Chinese food, fair pricing for good portions. Well worth the visit.

We want for a movie in Southland Shopping Center and what better way to wind up eating Laksa in coldest days in Melbourne for over 50 years. We ordered Satay Chicken skewers served with peanut sauce, Veg spring rolls and vegetarian laksa. Laksa broath was excellent seasoned with right amount of spices and tasty treat.
The place is nice and service was quicker with nice ambiance. Would I eat here if I get a chance again? Yes of course!
Such a great location to indulge in a laksa after shopping or a movie... or just because is a cold wintery night!
We normally have one of their laksa's which we enjoy tremendously but this time we tried something different.
Starter:
Steamed prawn dumplings with a mildly spicy sauce. Yum. Always good. Hard to go wrong.
Mains:
I had the Hainan chicken rice and daughter the Nasi Lemak.
I think I'll stick to the laksas!
It was ok. Chicken was poached with a basil type sauce. Rice was ok but needed the chilli and basil sauce through it for flavour.
Side salad for me was pointless. Mostly cucumber which I don't eat and 2 bits of capsicum.
As a whole it was ok. I wouldn't order again. Their other dishes are more flavoursome.
Daughters chicken dish was also ok. Said it had anchovies which I was hanging out for. There were there but I have no idea what they did to them. Had no flavour.
I will return for a laksa.
Came here friday night, was crowded, really crowded. Have to wait for 5 minutes to get to a table. Food selection isnt bad, they got a bunch of chef menu out of the main list. Place wasnt comfortable, the food taste good, the portion is big, price is average. 3.5/5
Been here a few times now. The curry is very tasty. The dish sizes are on the larger size so you get your money's worth. The waiters are attentive but also don't bother you too much so you can just enjoy your meal and take your time. Overall a very nice place to have dinner and relax with a glass of wine or tea šš» My boyfriend also loves this place and highly rates the curry.
I liked it. Service was normal, a little better than the types of service you'd expect at Asian restaurant, then again this is a local chain/franchise, so service should kind of be better. The laksa broth was flavourful and the seafood portions were generous and really fresh. Portion of the whole bowl was huge, can probably feed 2 people. Well worth the $18 price tag. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area.
Alright, Friday night and record breaking home time for my husbandā 5:30pm! It looks like a waste if we donāt make the most of it. āSo shall we go out for dinner?āI asked. Its all natural thinking. Today we tried a new place called āLaksa Kingā in Southland shopping centre. Well I hear you say its not quite a romantic place for couple to have a dinner, with a village movie theatre right next to it. Itās more like a spot for people to have a quick bite before cozying up for a motion experience. However, Laksa KingĀ definitely is a family place. Thereās enough space for little oneās to sit and walking around. Plus, the high ceiling gives you a quite stressless feeling, which doesnāt happen often in aĀ mall.
Love dropping in here for a quick meal. Easy to get a table, quick service and good food!
Can sometimes be really loud which is expected as it is in a shopping centre.
Usually easy to get a table and although it doesn't seem to have the extensive menu that can be found at its Flemington counterpart it's definitely worth your money!
Would recommend if looking for a quick, non food court meal when at Southland.
I always order seafood laksa and it is amazing! The floor has enough space and I can always relax at here. It would be one of great option to have a lunch during shopping at Westfield.
Didn't mind the seafood laksa or the nasi lemak here. Not sure if affiliated with laksa king itself.. anyhoo for shopping centre food it was pretty decent. The seafood laksa had a good amount of seafood .. and the soup base was yum. The nasi lemak... I thought was ok only. WIR? Yeah it's not bad if ur after alternatives for choice ..
Love this place. Predictably delicious every time. Laksa with rockling or vegetarian is amazing and soooo big, brimming with goodness. I've not finished a bowl yet.
Gorgeous space with bright deco and lighting , and delicious Malaysian food! Seafood laksa was great with generous ingredients . Nasi lemak may not be truly authentic nevertheless still tasted good .
Yum yum vegetarian laksa, fast serve, good service, will coming back again, 100% will recommend to friends and relatives. Will try the vegetarian fried rice next visit.
Tried the curry chicken nasi lemak instead of laksa as they didn't have on the menu Assam laksa that I like. Looking through the menu I find the price was a little pricey for some of the items. For example, steamed dumplings were $10.50 for 5 pcs and seafood laksa was $18. The nasi lemak came in a decent portion size. They were generous with the curry chicken and the egg was cooked the way I like it - creamy yolk and not runny. It also came with peanuts, sambal anchovies and pickled cucumbers. The sambal anchovies were soggy. Would prefer it to be crispy but it's not a deal breaker.
Service was good with staff eager to take orders. Kitchen and surroundings is clean. Plenty of space if you need to park your pram.
Overall, great food and good service despite some items on the menu being pricier.
Beautiful.Ā Ā Ordered the seafood Laksa. Just what you expect. Full of seafood and noodles.Ā The taste was amazing. Thanks guys. Great spot for a quick eat before a movie.Ā Clean and bright and the service was excellent. Really couldn't fault this place.
I really love the decor here and the atmosphere. The lighting and ambiance of the restaurant makes it very inviting (compared to the other eateries in this section of the cinema). Doesn't feel at all like a restaurant in a shopping centre. It's a great place to enjoy a meal before watching a movie at the cinema. Pretty good value. Service is quick and the staff are very friendly.
Came here for the first time.
My partner has been telling me this place is great so I gave it a try.
To my surprise, it was far better than what I expected.
The food does taste like home.
We ordered the seafood laksa and vegetarian laksa.
Even though the price for each meal seems a little pricey, but the portions were huge and more stuffs in it. You could actually order one big bowl of laksa and share with another friend by ordering one extra bowl of rice.
The ambience is nice too. I could tell the place has just been newly renovated. Staffs were attentive and made sure we had a good time.
Decided to try this place since ive walked past it so many times. The service was great was greeted with a smile as we walked in and the staff was very friendly especially the manager there she helped us with menu and was really patient with us because we were so picky. The food was amazing especially the confit duck, the only thing that wasnt so great was the curry puffs it was too oily and its so small ( a bit pricey), but i would definitely come back!
This place looks a lot nicer now that they've renovated it. Very open and modern, especially for a restaurant inside a shopping centre.
The food is pretty good. Nothing that blew my socks off, but just good. Nice assortment of drinks on the menu to, which is good.
Would go back again if I was waiting for a movie.
Well priced for the quality of this sort of restaurant.
Difficult to compete with the big grand daddy in Flemington. Laksa was a few dollars more, that's okay since shopping center food is often expensive. The chicken laksa didn't have the same spice and flavour. It was good just not as good as the king.

So I'm adding 7 days later , that we came back and ordered the chicken curry (malaysian style) which has sweet potato in it , roti, and steamed rice on the side as you have to order these separately..
It was fantastic! Perfect amount of chili where you can still taste every other flavour! Such a flavoursum dish! Also plenty of chicken! My partner and i shared it and struggled to finish it. Downfall? The roti is cut into little strips. Dont cut it! I like it whole to scoop my curry up. YUM!
June 2016.
All the restaurants at southland are so bad! Tonight we decide to catch a movie in gold class style. INDIPENDANCE DAY 2! lets hope its good... walked past laksa king and thought ou this is new.. im not a fan generally of this cuisine but my partner loves it.
We ordered steamed prawn dumplins in the spicy soy. Was nice.. but nothing great.
Roti roll was next, fluffy roti rolled with a filling of onion, crispy chicken, fresh cucumber and tomatoe and a peanut satay sauce. This was fantastic! Really flavoursum and fresh! Next was the chicken laksa that my partner ordered and of course i tried. This was creamy and rich and full of flavour! 2 types of noodles in there with heaps of chicken a few beans and tofu. The base of the soup was absolutely Devine! So full now and ready for the recliner chairs in gold class! About time southland had a restaurant for a decent feed!!
We met at Southland late Sunday arvo after a weekend apart and wanted to get dinner and hangout together so we chose Laksa King Kitchen.
The decor of this place is pretty cool for a restaurant inside a shopping centre, it very open and spacious with trees and greenery against a natural wood backdrop.
We weren't super hungry so we decided to share our meals as always, we ordered the curry chicken, the chicken rib rice and the Hainan chicken rice.
The curry was rich, creamy and zesty with good amounts of chicken and potato. The rib rice had a nice spicy taste but was a little dry and the Hainan chicken was cooked well but the ginger sauce was just ginger purƩe and not a mix with a chilli sauce, that was served separately.
The food was nice but next time I would try some larger main dishes as these were more smaller options to share easier.
In between a series of fast food restaurants enticing movie goers with a selection of burgers, chicken, pizzas, tapas and pub food is Laksa King Kitchen, a popular Malaysian food establishment that has brought some of its signature dishes from Flemington down town to Southland Shopping Centre. I was excited by the fact that I wouldnāt have to drive up to the CBD and beyond just to try their most popular Laksa bowls.
We decided to give it a go despite the not so positive feedback. First thing that struck me was that the menu I've seen on zomato was not the same as the actual menu. Was not pleased as I went in thinking there would be char kway teow etc. Anyway, still gave them the benefit of the doubt and thankfully it did not disappoint. The service was top notch, kids utensils and sharing plates /bowls were supplied without asking. My laksa craving was satisfied, even though the broth was not as creamy and rich as the Flemington store, and also there weren't any egg plant nor okra too. The confit duck was deep fried to perfection and the sauce, which we felt tasted akin to rojak sauce, was very appetising. Prices were of course higher than the norm but were fully compensated by the delectable meal.
In the shopping centre.... Just Simple
Food is not that great in comparison to Flemington. The staff is acceptably friendly.
Prices. .... higher than other branches.
One more Laksa King to satisfy those laksa cravings..just opposite Nandos in Southland. It's slightly pricier than the original Laksa King in Flemington, with a smaller menu, and missing that hawker feel, but the food is still very good and it's more comfy here.
If ordering vegetarian fried rice be sure to specify "no egg" because the default is with the egg fried into it. The vegetarian spring rolls were too oily.
The chicken laksa was great. Tasty, hot enough, and perfect texture. I would have liked a bit more veggies, but it was good as it was too.
Very yummy! Had a good time, and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing! The robot servers was a joy to watch!
Delicious food with generous portions. Food came out pretty fast. Staff are friendly and attentive.
Laksa King is a fantastic chain of restaurants that does some amazing Malaysian food, especially the chicken curry and beef rendang. Quality flavors and pricing is perfect..Not difficult difficult to love them
This one's inside the Southland shopping mall and it very easy to locate.
Just a fascinating fact about this place, sometimes they serve tables with their orders through a robot.
The Best laksa in south east Melbourne. Giving 5 star š rating for their best quality food with full of flavour & great service. Beautiful looking restaurant and amazing chefs.Thank you for your delicious dishesš
The laksa here is truly spectacular. The quality, flavours and quantity is up there with the best. I'm super surprised at the amount of chicken they put in the laksa, it's fantastic! Very good value. Staff are friendly also and the restaurant is very nicely decorated and spacious. š¤©
Pleasantly surprised to find a Laksa King at Westfield Southland. Located in the row of restaurants by the movie theatre it was certainly a treat. Ordered the Laksa with fish fillets, Laksa with chicken and the dumplings noodles.
The Laksa broth itself was very rich. A little too rich from the coconut but do ask for the sambal to cut through the richness and bring more spice to the flavour. It was perfect with the sambal.
Fish fillet was more than expected and cooked to perfection. The dumpling broth however was over salty. Should have returned it but...
Overall I hope they keep up the serving portions. Looking forward to try other dishes in the future.
