Review Hawkers Lane - Melbourne

Ben Ong
Ordered Curry Laksa and Mamak Mee Goreng. Both hit the spot. Didn’t bother to take the photo, but this picture says it all. Taste like hawker style and very satisfying portion. Only imperfection is they only accept cash.

A very decent Malaysian feed on this side of town. The rendang was rich, aromatic and lemak enough. The beef was juicy and tender. The seafood Laksa was not too bad. Similar to the ones you get at the other Singaporean/Malaysian restaurants around Melbourne. The biggest difference is the size of the mussel you get! It's huge! Keen to return to try the other dishes. 👍🏻

I ordered the Char kway teow, takeaway. Serving size was very generous for such a standard price. Quality was more than satisfactory. It's a quite place to take the wifey for lunch or dinner. Staff were polite and friendly. Will be returning to try many more items from the menu.

Found this gem of a place via Google Map. The curry chicken and fried kway teow were authentically Asian and super yummy! Nice food for a very cold spring. Definitely worth the $10!

Absolutely delicious & the most down to earth customer service.

Nice little restaurant right near the station. The food was cheap and quick - perfect for takeaway if you live in the area. My potato & noodles could have done with more greens, but I have the owner that feedback and he said he'd take it on board for next time.

We had a great time here. Noel was the best host, our faces hurt from laughing and smiling. His suggestions were outstanding. I can't wait to go back and let him show off some of his dishes. The 5 spice fish and the curried beef are a dishes I would do again in a heartbeat!
Matt Vitiello
Amazing food combined with genuine and humble staff. Definitely dine in for bigger portions. Gado Gado pictures.

Hidden gem!<br/>Food is authentic here, we love the tum yum fried noodles and nasi lemak. Both delicious 😋 <br/>.......... & curry puff is not bad too, just a bit too pricey (2 for $9). <br/>Will defibrillator be back to try the curry laksa 😁
Simon Lederer
The food is fantastic and the place has a happy vibe to it. Highly recommended.We had the roti bread, spring rolls, and beef rendang. All the food here is good.

Utterly delicious fried koay teow with beef! Nasi lemak was alright - I’ve had better . Gado gado was really good too the peanut sauce was flavoursome and different. Really friendly team and they seem popular with take outs as seatings are limited. Will definitely return to try the laksa, fried rice and char koay teow. Cash only.

Such a hidden gem. Have walked by here so many times and never thought they did dinner. Grabbed both a chicken kari laksa and curry laksa for dinner between two and were really happy with what we got. Both dishes were massive and packed with noodles, meat and lots of rich broth. The chicken kari laksa had a deeper flavour, likely from the marinated chicken it came with. The curry laksa was more mild in taste but came with lots of flavorsome accompaniments. Service was really fast and ended up having some left overs as well. Will be back!

Good Malaysian food which sets it apart from all of the other cafes and restaurants in Newport. Flavours are good and service is always fast. Good for takeaway on the way home. Laksa is always good.

The food was super delicious but the best part of the experience is the lovely man looking after the counter and running the show there. He’s so inviting and makes you instantly feel welcome. People kept coming in as we ate and were all obviously regulars as they treated him as an old friend. He should know how wonderful he is and how he makes the meal all the more enjoyable! Thank you for the wonderful food and service.

Great local Malaysian in Newport. <br/><br/>Service was prompt and the owner is very friendly. <br/><br/>Cheaper dishes on Monday and Tuesday nights ($10 specials)

Every time I go to get a curry here, the woman gives me rice even though I ask for curry with roti. The rice is dry and unappetising and they fill the container with mostly rice and just a little curry, so the gravy is soaked up and you're left with lots of dry rice and dry lumps of beef or chicken. If I go back again, my first words will be, "No rice!"<br/>

Somehow we've managed to not see this little gem for the year or so we've lived in Newport. Perhaps the place has been done up a bit and the orange light box sign outside is now noticeable from the train. Or we have just never noticed it. Either way, this was a great cheap eats destination on a school night. BYO and with a very handy bottle shop almost next door. We were dawdling through the menu when the charismatic owner came and offered to do us two different dishes. Clearly the man knows his stuff, and he certainly knows how to make patrons feel welcome, spending time working each table and getting to know the clientele. The food was awesome, and we are going to have to come back and work our way through the entire menu, although with limited seating inside we will have to act quickly as I don't fancy pavement dining come winter. I seldom give five stars but this was worthy. Excellent prompt service, a friendly proprietor, and of course fantastic food. I even recommended it to a couple of my mates who were driving through the following night. Hopefully they were just as satisfied...

Awesome food, clean kitchen, friendly service what more could one ask for?! Cheap as well..................................................!
Bridget Nicholls
This place was great! Been there twice now. Veggie curry laksa was awesome and so was the Nasi Goreng, Roti and curry. The whole thing was delicious. We went next door to the bottle shop, got some drinks and had a lovely time as it's BYO and has tables out the front. Service was really good and it was super cheap. Most importantly the dishes were full of flavor. Looks like word is out because the takeaway was flying out the door the whole time we were there. We will definitely be back.

Not sure about Ms Bec having two bad meals, but I'm a local & eaten Nasi Goreng, Laksa and a few other variants, and found all of the meals to be close to Authentic Malaysian. Yes, if you want a light colored weak coconut laksa they will not serve this meal there. Laksa has bonus Sambal & curried meat on top which was a lovely bonus. Extremely tasty.
Ms Bec
Dissapointed in tonight's experience after some great meals here. My laksa had none of the complex flavours I have experienced previously AND the calamari and prawns were overcooked and rubbery. <br/>My partner couldn't finish his "stir fry" which was basically watery cabbage and some tough looking pale beef. <br/>Spring rolls are top notch. Service was woeful - more interested in takeaway customers than bothering to take our order or bring things out together ie. stir fry then rice 10 minutes later!
Hannah Alexandra
Delicious Malaysian tucker. The sambal eggplant was delicious. Piping hot, perfectly spicy and tasty. Great dumplings too. Service was friendly and fast.
Pandasniffer
Great serving sizes. Not ridiculously huge. Tasty kway teow. Made me think I was in Malaysia. I hope the cash only thing is a phase, and that they'll get hooked up soon. That's a deal breaker.
The Critical Cat
Totally delish! The curry laksa was super tasty and the roti bread was yummo! My only complaint (and this is only being picky) is that my hubbys noodle dish was a tad small and the laksa could have had slightly more chicken in it, we will definitely be eating here again, good service, quick and great food!
Simon Hall
Great food and a top addition to Newport. The Beef Rendang is awesome and has been consistently good. Only negative is that the Roti could do to be a bit flakier but I put that down to being takeaway and wrapped up rather than being fresh. No hesitation in returning (again).

Vegetarian meal requested-very disappointed to be provided with two vegetables( bokchoy and carrot) and onion and only two pieces of tofu only for $14.00.Expected a variety of vegetables at that price.
Jodie.dybing
Fantastic food and service. The setup is nice, and the meals were prepared quickly and tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely a good addition to the area!
Moh Town
Good food good prices service could be better and really should be delivering as a added service for customers. Happy to tey again and wil recommend others

I really don't understand how people can rate this place so high. Been here once and never go back! Customer service is terrible! Food is lower than average Malaysian food. I rate this as bastardized Malaysian food. Pricing is way to high than normal and portion is good for kids only. I suggest Chef Lagenda , Laksa king if you want real Malaysian food.
Luna Den Elzen
As a fellow Malaysian myself - I really think the quality & taste of this place is fabulous! Just started business 6wks ago so lack table & chairs & close Sundays but cannot fault the cleanliness & taste like home food! Well done!!!

We went in the first week and the food was simple but tasty. We'll be back for another go soon. Good to see this part of Newport offering quality at last!
