They use thick egg noodles or hokkien noodles or something and I really enjoy it compared to other places where it’s thinner.Seafood laksa my favouriteRoyalZerker ★★★★★ Enjoyed the several Laksas, Spring Rolls, Fried Rice and kids enjoyed the lemon chicken. Went on a busy Friday night. Glad to have booked in advance because all tables were occupied and there were a dozen or two more people waiting inside and outside for a table or takeaway... a good sign that it was a popular place. Meals and drinks still came quite quickly despite being very busy. Well done. ✔ 🏆Paul C. ★★★★★ Nothing better than the laksa on a 20 degree day in Melbourne.

Dive into the Culinary Legacy

Laksa King, A Melbourne Icon Since 1998

In a legendary culinary tale of Melbourne, Esmond Wong created Laksa King in 1998. Emerging from the vibrant tapestry of a small arcade off Racecourse Rd, Flemington, this gastronomic haven quickly became the stuff of local legend.

The clamour for its extraordinary flavours resonated far beyond the arcade’s confines, prompting Esmond to orchestrate a move to grander quarters in 2010 – the birth of the Laksa King we revere today.

Embark on a journey through our expanded repertoire, where each dish is a revelation, a testament to Esmond’s unyielding commitment to culinary excellence. The extensive variety caters to the demands of our loyal patrons and invites the seasoned connoisseur to explore the depths of authentic Malaysian-Chinese fusion.
