Madam Kwong's is a no frills resturant with a supermarket attached to it. Seating is resonable however, you may need to fight for a spot as when we were there, we saw a fair few couples taking more room then needed causing a bit of backlog.
In addition to the menu, they also have specials which is viewable on the wall behind the counter, plus a hot tray area with cheaper entree size of some dishes as well. You can also takeaway food as well and if you do not finish your meal you can buy takeaway boxes for 50c each.
Pricing is extremely reasonable, with everything being under $20. My order consisting of a entree size Loh Bak, Duck Egg Char Keoy Teow, Yong tau foo laksa & Teh Tarik which only cost $35 so the pricing is extremely reasonable.
The Loh bah which is usally pork is chicken however it is stll very nice and the chilli sauce really helps it.
The Char Koay Teow is very bean sprouts heavy as mentioned by reviewers still, you just need to smash through it and your left with a amazing CKT which brings you back to KL. The dish has also that fried pork lard which makes it oh so much better and has the wok hey to it as well.
The Laska broth has a bit of Assam Laksa influence to it and includes the flower as well which is super rare to find these days. The broth is super creamy and has depth to it also. The inclusion of the lemon grass helps it alot.
To wash it all down the Teh Tarik which I can't say much, it's some dam good Teh Tarik.
Overall, go here if your craving Malaysian food as this place is going to get as authentic as your going to get with the only complaint being the short opening times!
I tried the laksa, char kueh tiao and hor fun. My verdict is: laksa is delicious but not nonya style; char kueh tiao is salty and too dry; hor fun is pretty good (ask them to cook the noodles slightly burnt). However I must add that the hor fun should have been a thicker flat rice noodle, not the thinner variety.
4.5
Really surprised at how much I loved this place . When you first walk in , it reminds you of a Asian grocery / tuckshop . You order your meal at the counter first and sit yourself down . The curry laksa was probably one of the best ones I’ve had this year , the serving size is smaller than other restaurants but inside the bowl is an authentic noodle soup. We also got the hor fun which had a very tasty egg gravy . I cannot wait to return and try the other items they have here , so sad the opening hours do not include dinner time
Ever since Thanh from ieatblog commented on the “wok hei” (fiery wok breath) of the char kuey teow at Madam Kwong’s, I have been trying to make it there. Finally I got a chance to go to Box Hill, so I took kiddo to Madam Kwong.
I got a few pieces of $0.9 deep fried chicken drumsticks 🍗 for kiddo so he would stop squealing he is Hangry, and then I got a curry puff for myself while waiting for my char kuey teow.
The chat kuey teow came and it was marvelous! I am so sad that because I am sharing with kiddo I couldn’t get super spicy!
The service is fantastic too, they make sure we have enough serviettes (cos kiddies do make a huge mess!), help me bring tea and my order number to the table etc. I would love to go back again!
Best Malaysian food I've ever had in Melbourne. Their food really does taste like home. I've tried their curry laksa, char kuey teow with duck egg and nasi lemak - delicious! Service was lovely, they always have a warm smile on their face everytime I come in. Highly recommended.
Came here based on Zomato reviews. Chicken laksa & char kuey tiew are authentic and better than other places. The ambience is basic & low budget, albeit clean. Along the walls are display fridges and shelves with food & beverage products for sale. Service is mom & pop friendly.
Small gem with authentic Malaysian cuisine that’s close to heart. Affordable prices too. Love the curry laksa, char kuey tiao, prawn mee, and curry puff. Also enjoy the pineapple fried rice there! We got the bak chang (glutinous rice) a few times and it was good as well but the pork given appears to be smaller.
We get take away every now and again as we can’t get enough. They previously sold durian in a box which was pricey but worth it!
Recently we tried the roti canai and hokkien mee but the curry laksa and fried kuey tiao are still the best
The best curry laksa in Melbourne! Love that they garnish the laksa with lotus flower that gives that additional tangy taste and fragrance to it. They have lots of Nyonya Kuih too, just like in Malaysia. Love their kuih dadar/tayap (the green coloured crepe filled with grated coconut) too! The coconut filing inside is so good!
LocAted nearby boxhill central , for the customer services not bad , how's their served customer need , the food quality authentic Nyonya Taste , really not bad , thumbs up will come back again .
The lobak, very nice and flavoursome, taste like the Malaysian type, like the crispy skin.
The nasi lemak, room to improve for the Sambal chillie, not enough spicy and taste.
The fried kuey teow with duck egg, extra spicy, one of the best fried kuey teow I had so far, dry enough with the stir fry wok flavour, stir fry with the pork lard, preferably to have more chives. Highly recommended.
The Assam laksa a little let down, not very authentic, most disappointed was the noodle, not the right type, laksa soup not enough sour, too sweet. I hope they stick with the authenticity of Malaysia Assam laksa flavour.
Take away achar, taste good too, like that put many peanut, taste even better when I had the another half on the next day.
They're selling kuih as well, forgot to take picture, taste not bad.
There are lots of laksa place in Melbourne but you can hardly find a restaurant serving Penang assam laksa. I didn’t expect to have such high standard asam laksa in Boxhill. Char Koay Teow is equally good. Thoroughly stirred fried with a little bit charcoal taste to bring out the flavor. Size is adequate. Bought some home made keuh, not very sweet and full of flavor.
Went there 2nd time, turmeric sticky rice with curry is excellent
Madam Kwong's Nyonya is a Malaysian restaurant in Box Hill. The restaurant serves Malaysian delight including nasi lemak in banana leaf ($5.90), Penang Hokkien Mee ($12.90), Penang Char Kuey Teow, rendang chicken (Malaysian's style chicken curry), etc. A fried drumstick (add-ons) and teh tarik cost $2 and $3 respectively. It is one of the best Malaysian restaurant in Melbourne. The Penang Hokkien Mee tastes almost as good as Hokien Mee in Penang and it is a must try for those who misses home (Malaysians).

Tried the Penang Hokkien prawn noodle and it tasted really authentic. Soup was filled with prawn goodness, portion was more than enough for a guy which includes noodles, vermicelli, half an egg, bean sprouts, 3 prawns, 3 slices pork and spinach. Would have been better if the pork used were more tender as it’s very tough and will be better if they used kangkong which is kind of expensive in Melbourne, maybe that’s the reason why they don’t use it. Chili makes the soup really good and what’s missing is fish cakes which is hard to find here. Place is cosy and crowded on a weekend lunch time, 5minutes walk away from box hill central but quite worth the journey. Nasi lemak looks good and they do sell some Nyonya Kuehs and curry puffs too.
Authentic Malaysian cuisine. This is it. This is the closest you can get to getting Malaysian food in Melbourne. Take note of the opening hours.
Delicious traditional Malaysian by your local aunties. Best char kuai teow and chicken laksa!
Closest thing you can get to the real deal in Melbourne, shame it's only open for lunch. Continues to be just as good even with the change in management
