I call this the unknown foodcourt because even when it's busy, it’s not really that busy. But it is definitely much better this way as you can always find a seat and eat in peace.
Ito's offers relatively cheap food with decent portions. I've tried the laksa and a customized stir fry noodle and both were enjoyable. It's not anything out of this world but it serves me well for lunch and they are reliable. I would not hesitate to go back again!
I used to visit the North Sydney shop regularly when I worked there, glad they have a branch in CBD close to my new office. I am a big fan of their laksa and decided to try Har Mee for a change. Har Mee has quite pungent smell as the broth is made from prawn heads, it is definitely an acquired taste. The broth should have a perfect balance of fishiness from the prawn, heat from chilli paste and sweetness from palm sugar. This har mee I ordered was probably the hottest one I had tried, I didn't even add extra chilli paste. It could use a bit more sugar to balance out the saltiness as well. Overall it was good but didn't blow me away.
Ordered the Hainan chicken ($9.80) and chicken laksa ($9.50). Both great dishes. The Hainan chicken was moist and tender...almost velvety in the mouth. The laksa was quite coconuty. The broth is certainly different from other laksa joints with the specks of herbs adding a subtle flavour. It was also quite spicy without extra chilli. Overall an awesome lunch spot.
Heard about the famous Hainan Chicken Rice of this food outlet and try to explore. Walked from the Town Hall station across the road up the hill from Woolworths. Eventually, turned around the corner where the Starbucks located, I found the food court where this food outlet located. It was quite busy there and I ordered the Hainan Chicken Rice and Laska at once. Well, the chicken was good but not to the extra-ordinary standard and so as the Laska. However, I do like the idea of DIY on choosing the types of noodles, ingredients and sauces from the menu. It is so interactive between chefs and diners subject ot individual tast buds. No wonder they are so busy.
Any diehard fan of To’s Malaysian Gourmet in North Sydney may recognise some familiar faces at this place in the city.
Penang Prawn Mee still the best around.. While there are many places around offering this dish, Ito's transports me back to the streets of Penang. The prawn soup is delish, sufficient prawn and pork slices and the sambal paste has a kick and is a must.
Wonderful & Authentic. I have been a loyal customer of To's Malayian in North Sydney for years but was really disappointed when the original To's left last year. Anyway quite by chance today I came across them here when I went into the CBD for a work meeting. They are now Ito's Malaysian at 201 Elizabeth (food hall) and it was really great to have the originals back. The laksa was authentic and delicious as usual and I will be sure to be visiting Ito's Malaysian whenever I can now. Excellent place to eat and highly recommended.
Great laksa!. Love their laksa, especially with chilli on top. Generous servings too!
Awesome Malaysian Food. This is the new food place run by Irene and To who used to own the famous To's Malaysian in North Sydney. Their laksas, prawn mee soups and Hainan Chicken Rice are still amazing.
I highly recommend this place for lunch!
Great Malaysian food at a great price. The Chicken Laksa was rich, creamy and fresh. Service was very quick. Food court was nice and bright with natural light and air coming through the open window.
I'm a regular customer and I love their beautiful laksa! It's rich and creamy! Definitely recommend! I go at least 3 times a week. I love the food here. I've been to many laksa places and I love this one the most!
Really good food at great prices, the laksa is really cream compared to others I've had that were really watered down. Staff is always very polite and friendly which makes the ordering process really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this place.
Loved the laksa here - it was super rich and creamy. I dont like spicy foods but this was really delicious. Really great place for lunch at budget prices in this area. Would recommend!
Laksa was okay at least better than malay chinese takeaway imo.
