    Lovely restaurant found in a quiet area with sweet charm, great lighting. Sat upstairs and if you’re looking for a place for a date night, perfect. Enough noise to fill in quiet moments without being overwhelming but quiet enough to have a clear conversation. Food was beautiful and plentiful, a signature cocktail a must. Service good and friendly. You pay for what you get and you get a lot more than what you pay for here.

    I have been dining at Laksa King in New Market since 2004 when it was a small shop at the front! It’s always fantastic, I love the vibe, the owners and the team are always welcoming, even being so busy, they are always smiling and serve the yummiest food! It’s been consistent since the time I have been dining there. You don’t find such great people serving amazing food for decades. Cheers
