I had some take away chicken laska for lunch.
The service was friendly and reasonably quick. My chicken laska was absolutely delicious.
Everything was fresh, the noodles were good, the chicken pieces tasty but the best part was the laska.
The laska was creamy, and full of flavour. It was one of the tastiest laksa's I've had in a while.
Happy days.
Awesome place tuckered somewhere in the middle of Glenferrie street and I Just LOoooove the Nasi Lemak out there. Absolutely delicious and mouth watering. The menu is really good and the food taste likes the way it should :) and not many get that right. Slightly crowded but hey, That's the buzz right, makes you want to go there again and again :) Perfect SEA (South East Asian) and 🐟 food as well. A Must visit and one should definitely try out the Curry Laksa
They’ve got great Malaysian food in there, and fried kueh teow and congee are my favs. The servers are friendly and amazing, so feel free to ask questions if you’re confused with their menu. The seatings in the shop is kinda cramped, but I don’t think they have the choice as the store is kinda small unfortunately. Curry laksa was pretty good too so I’m pretty impressed. Ain’t gonna be as tasty as my hometown’s curry laksa for sure but it’s good enough. Additionally, their chicken curry is pretty great tho it felt more like a rendang dish.

Very surprised to discover that Chef Lagenda has four other outlets in addition to the Hawthorn restaurant. It's too good to be a chain!! I have a lunch location now when I head for the Lido Cinema to try out those other lunch specials.
Exceptionally busy lunchtime - small, 'cosy' front space overlooking Glenferrie Rd with a much larger, spacious covered courtyard out the back. Friendly and efficient, they have a lunchtime special menu of $11.50. I went for the chicken laksa - and it was undoubtedly one of the best I've ever had. Lots of chicken, tofu, a big piece of eggplant and two different types of noodles. Soup creamy/oily/full of spicy flavour. Excellent.
More recently (Nov 2019), tried the pepper beef with rice - good without being over-exciting.
And Jan 2020 - tried the prawn dumpling soup. Dumplings were extraordinary, packed with prawns but soup a little bland.
And then (Mar 2020), Hainan Chicken Rice. very good although I find the dish in general a little ordinary. But this was a good version!
Always a great lunch spot! Food is to a great standard and always fast and hot. Would definitely recommend the char kway teow or the hainanese chicken rice. Perfect Malaysian-chinese dishes.
Staff are friendly and dishes are great value for money! They do a great lunch weekday special definitely worth making a trip for.
The restaurant itself is small and has limited seating but worth the wait！
Used to go to the outlet in Flemington for the Assam laksa but it became too far to travel to. Thankful that there's an outlet in Hawthorn which is closer to me to get my laksa fix.
My favourite is the Assam Laksa but after trying the seafood crispy noodles, now I've got 2 favourites! The char kway teow was so-so only as I find there is not enough wok hei.
Overall a pleasant meal. Great place to go for Malaysian eats.

My third time here as I’m a big Malaysian food fan. There were three of us and we were greeted yet again by lovely staff. My friends shared the Malaysian Chilli Crab, and I had Kampung Chicken. A vegetarian friend joined us later and she had Gado Gado which looked fabulous. Portion sizes were great almost too much. Plus you can talk home what you can’t eat. The restaurant isn’t too loud with music or other diners. Wheelchair friendly. Reasonable parking out the front. Takeaway does a good trade here. Will return.
Another family friendly restaurant that serves a variety of asian style noodles and rice dishes, as well as deserts, drinks, entrees and even main course dishes. The prices are very reasonable, ranging from $9-15 for a single serving dish, but the serving sizes are very reasonable. Food also comes very quickly and service is good. Perfect place just for a casual meal
We were ordering special $10.80 meal plus Assam laksa,rice with ducks,chicken hainan.
Meal very nice and cheaper compared to others Malaysian restaurants.
Staff were is very attentive and we have a good service. I recommend to order any types of noodles
Can never go wrong with this place, so reliable for a tasty dinner. Laksa is the stand out. Only bad thing is you may not get a seat but worth the wait
Excellent option for lunch, food comes out fairly quickly. Had the fried char kuay teow and was delicious; great balance of noodles and meat which consists of Chinese sausage, fish cake and shrimp. Nice decor inside and there’s a free water drink station. Will definitely be back.
Really good Malaysian cusine located on Glenferrie road. Really convenient for when you need that Laksa fix. I felt that it was very comparable to Laksa King, broth was aromatic and the seafood Laksa had a good mix of scallops, prawns, Mussels and calamari. Partner had hainanese chicken rice which was really good too. Menu isn't huge, but definitely worth a try!
My favourite go to place whenever I'm craving for some Laksa. Cozy and friendly environment for some authentic Malaysian flavours.
The quantity was okay for me. Tried the bbq chicken rice lunch special. Not great but not that bad as well.
Great Laksa! Really reminded me of the ones back home.. It was creamy and savoury. Eggplant was good.
Authentic Malaysian food. Very good quality
Such a wonderful experience, excellent service, everyone is very friendly. The food is just amazing, highly recommend
No picture because I was too busy to vacuum the soup.....
They should be more popular and famous. Too underrated. Never had so delicious curry laksa like this since I left Singapore! I would like to support this restaurant if they need any help at all times!
Highly recommend the tropical curry laksa <3 xx
Thank you so much staying safe during the pandemic, I will see you everyday!
