Laksamania in City of London, Westminster

We were hungry for some laksa. Found this place online. It was expensive for what they serve. Singapore laksa was NOT authentic at all. Being Singaporean, I know. Their wanton noodles don’t come with chilli. If you want sambal, you have to ask for it. The woman said she told me but I think she muttered on purpose. I wouldn’t have ordered it if I knew they charge £2 for a spoons worth of horrible “sambal”. Do yourself a favour and go try the authentic laksa and other delectables at Singapulah instead. Service is friendlier. FREE, yummier sambal. A bigger bottle of water is under £2 there. Laksamania charges £4.80 for a small bottled water. This place was a rip off and the food was pitiful. Never again.

Laksa was so so. Other dishes probably better elsewhere. Serving were small and automatically charged 12.5% service charge for just a few of us.

Excellent food, excellent service and a wholly beautiful experience. Would recommend till my dying breath, a must visit gem in the heart of London. Will most definitely be back. Compliments to Chef Wei Ling!

Been wanting to try Laksa Mania for a long time. Last time we were in London, we went on a day they were closed. Being from the Midlands, a decent Malaysian restaurant is hard to come by. Laksa Mania did not disappoint. We booked in advanced for a Friday night. It was mega busy. Very nice place inside. We ordered the Char Kway Teow and Ipoh curry laksa. So many other dishes I want to try. The Char Kway Teow arrived probably 10-15 minutes before the Curry Laksa. No communication at all as to why the Laksa was so delayed. No apologies or anything when the Laksa eventually arrived. When I eventually finished. We were rushed to pay the bill. Didn’t even get offered to look at desserts. Quite rude from the staff to be honest. Nice food doesn’t make customer service non existent. It’s a good job you do have nice food that people will want to come for. Service wise. You can get better at the local weatherspoons!

A group of 8 friends ate here yesterday for lunch. We had delicious food, everyone of us, the standard brought back great memories of eating in Singapore. Service was great, attentive and helpful throughout, even though we were noisy and chaotic in our excitement to see each other. Wish this restaurant was closer to where I live!

We order from Uber Eats, you can still judge the taste, we have chicken sate, chicken wings, they are both nice, we also have chicken curry, but it was a disappointment, and so is the Pad Thai, the curry was way too salty, you can really eat it, too bad we are not eating in, or else we can return it to the kitchen and let them know, as for the Pad Thai, the ho fun (rice noodles) are all broken in small pieces, you can't find a bit that is like noodles, and it was blend, the shrimp in the Pad Thai has no taste. So very disappointed, I love laska but didn't order as I would think Laksa is a dish to be enjoy in a restaurant. I am afraid I can't recommend the two disappointing dishes.

After reading an article about a guy who travelled the world for 10 years, visiting every country, who said the best food he'd had anywhere was Laksa (in Malaysia), we had to find this place when we visited London and it didn't let us down. The depth of flavour in our Laksa was fantastic and £16.50 for a main course just off Oxford Street was very reasonable.

The quality of the cooking seems to have dropped - I ordered the wonton noodles and the wontons were half the size they normally are - the filling was dry and hard whereas before the filling was always plump and juicy . My friend ordered the " Wat tan hor" and there were strange additions to the dish which made the dish more Anglicised and not Malaysian ( Broccoli florets and Japanese mushrooms don't belong in this dish)

Couldn’t resist stopping for laksa when walking past, I went for the Singapore curry laksa. The soup itself was delicious, the egg was over cooked with that dark layer round the yolk, prawns also over cooked, quality of chicken not very good. Service was not the friendliest but was fine. Came to £17 in total and I just wasn’t as satisfied as I’d hoped to be compared to other places I’ve tried in the city.

I had wanted to go to Laksamania for ages after reading the reviews, but I had never had a chance until yesterday lunchtime. They were absolutely worth the wait. I had the vegan laksa and my partner had the Singaporean, both were extremely delicious. The service was friendly and attentive- even though we only had tap water they refilled our glasses regularly. The restaurant interior design is beautiful and it has a great ambience. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful meal here at Laksamania. The food was excellent. We ordered 3 different Curry Laksa Noodles (Ipoh, Melaka and Singapore), Char Kuey Teow, Char Siu & Wonton Lo Mien, Sambal Kangkung and Homemade Cendol. Would highly recommend visiting.

Once you step off the busy streets of Oxford Street 50 yards on the left, you'll find Londons best kept culinary secret. The decor inside fits for every occasion, whether it be lunch or for an evening meal with a loved one, mood lighting, warm friendly atmosphere with chilling music. Now comes the food, from Chicken and Lamb skewers, to chicken wings that would put a Michelin chef to shame, Danny really has a gift in his cuisine.

I have been here a couple of times and on both occasions the food has been very tasty. I spent my childhood in Malaysia so I have a good idea of how the food should taste like. In Malaysia, even something as 'standard' as Singapore laksa will have slightly different interpretations depending on where you go. The version at Laksamania has an authentic feel to the taste and so do other dishes although there have of course been subtle substitutions of one or two ingredients sometimes to reflect what is more easily available locally in London. The fried dishes have some of the requisite aroma of a hot pan/wok or 'wok hei' in cantonese and balance of ingredients is good -- sambal aubergines for example has good blachan but not so strong that it overwhelms, but just enhancing the depth of overall flavour. We also had, on this occasion, soft-shell crab laksa and wat-tan ho-fun. Both were good. A little pricey -- most dishes are £15-18, but worth visiting for the excellent flavours. Staff are also friendly and accomodating. They tend to close earlier in the evening than some other restaurants but we were appreciative of the fact that they let us in at 9.15pm even though very last orders are at 9.30pm.

We stumbled into this place quite by accident and did not have any expectations - only to come out happy and fully satisfied. The restaurant offers some truly authentic Malaysian street food in London, Between the two of us, we had the char keoy teow and the nyonya curry chicken. Both dishes exceeded our expectations. The staff were warm and sufficiently friendly.

Food is excellent. Correct fragrant spices and proportion of coconut milk. Reminded me food I tasted when I was growing up in Malaysia. A place highly recommended for those who enjoy Malaysian street food.

This was a lovely experience, restaurants in the west end, in my opinion can be disappointing, this place was a true exception. An interesting menu, sensibly priced. All of the food was freshly cooked and full of flavour. The staff were friendly and the restaurant and toilets we’re spotlessly clean. Will gladly call again to explore the menu further, thank you

The food here is so tasty and affordable. I’m vegetarian and my partner isn’t but we both loved it. The Laksa’s are particularly good. The staff are also really friendly and the speed is good too

I’ve been to laksamania twice and both dishes I’ve had have been soooo rich and delicious. So much flavour! The staff are very polite and helpful. Sitting downstairs is best if you can choose

We visited Laksamania restaurant for lunch at the weekend. Within easy walking distance from Tottenham Court Road station. Best to arrive at 12pm opening time. Our group had soft shell crab Laksa, beef curry with egg fried rice and Wat Tan Hot/Smooth Egg Noodles. Everything...

Great Authentic Malaysia restaurant in London, try their satay and Chicken curry, char keow teow all.taste good. Highly recommended if you miss Malaysia foods.

I’ve long been a fan of laksa soup made with long simmering chicken stock but until now only experienced it as a token Singaporean dish on a pan-Asian menu. Here at laksamania you learn that there are many different varieties of laksa within two basic...

Having travelled to Malaysia many years ago, I was excited to come across this restaurant. We booked a week in advance and received a really warm welcome where we were shown to our table downstairs. The staff were very friendly and hospitable, offering advice on...

Having lived in Malaysia and really loved the food, we now live in a city where it is sadly unavailable. We were therefore really excited to eat at Laksamania on a recent visit to London. It hit the spot in all respects - delicious dishes...

Really enjoyed dinner here. The decor is pretty generic (think Wagamama) but don’t be put off. This is not just a central London restaurant that only cares about throughput. The food and service were great. Friends who lived in Malaysia and who are total foodies...

My wife and I had visited Singapore and Malaysia a few years ago and have been looking for somewhere that does authentic food in the UK. We tried Laksamania on a recent trip to London (July 2022) and thought it was excellent. We tried the...

To be honest guy's without any complement, if you really looking for the best restaurant in Oxford St in London you've try Malaysian food , the food is extremely an amazing and whole the staff is very friendly,, I can give to 10 out of...

Delicious malaysian cuisine. Handmade specialties, a lovely, attentive serviceteam. The plumsauce is a poem! I came to London and fell in love with this little diamond.

...and Wat Dan ho (smooth eggy thick noodles). Plenty of options for the former in particular, of varying spiciness! Do try the satay too, strongly recommended

Modern layout - clean - efficient service - pricey Food was okay - had the singapore laksa - not a generous portion, limited amount of extras to the noodles, soup lacked a little something. Is not as good as the laksa I had 3 weeks...

Was planning to catch up with a friend for lunch at another cafe but came across this on google maps and we both couldn't wait to get a decent laksa fix. Menu has alot of laksa options so it takes a while to decide what...

Each and every time I come here the food is good as always and there is a wide range of options on the menu to choose from and portions are generous, but I did feel the service was slow and it was till the point,...

Visited the restaurant recently. Was very excited after reading the reviews for good quality Malaysian food and we haven't been back for 2+ years due to Covid. Food is good, we really liked it. Service was terrible. Waiters and waitresses giving us attitude and faces....

This is becoming one of my favourite restaurant picks in London. Came here recently with friends, we were seated and served quickly. Food tasted great as always, and the service was very friendly! Thanks again for a great experience, will be returning soon!

The food was really nice, with a wide range of options on the menu, and I'd have been happy to have any of the options that others in my group ordered, which is always a good sign. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the...

I had never had laksa before, my Malaysian friend took me there to give me a taste of their national cuisine and oh man!! AM I GRATEFUL!!! The food was amazing! I had the Vegan Melaka Curry Laksa, my friend had the Melaka Curry Laksa,...

Found this place on TripAdvisor and was not disappointed at all. It was definitely worth it as the taste of their food reminded me of my hometown in Malaysia. Extremely friendly staff which were very helpful especially the manager whom recommended me and my family...

Centrally located in Soho just off Oxford street. A nice cosy place. I read up on a couple of reviews before going there took the advice of sticking to the noodles. I’m glad I did. I ordered the Melaka curry noodles. Don’t order any starters...

Although it majors on the large bowl of noodle soup known as the laksa, this is really a celebration of Malaysian food in general, some of which stray influences from neighbouring countries such as nasi goreng from Indonesia , Chinese wonton soup or barbecued pork...

Having followed them on instagram for quite some time I had a good idea what to expect. I have had Laksa in a few restaurants and have been to Singapore and eaten in Hawker centres and love the food. I was pleased to see that...

We have been looking for some authentic Malaysian food in the UK and all I can say is the food here is amazing. Penang Assam Laksa was the best dish we had in months! The boss was kind enough to treat us a bowl of...

We ordered the chicken satay, asam laksa, watanho, dry curry chicken lo mee and the cendol. We were really happy with the dishes, especially the chicken satay which was very succulent and the Asam Laksa which tasted like home, definitely a must try! The staff...

I should have been warned from the photos people have posted before and the fact the front door doesn't shut properly so there is a constant draft through the entire restaurant. You can see in peoples pics that everything is swimming in oil. This may...

If Laksa is on a menu i we'll always choose it hoping it will be somewhere like the ones we had in Penang. They never are until we visited this place. With 7 of us visiting we tried out all the varieties of Laksa and...

It is the busiest time of the year and we asked for fish head curry which is pre order and they kindly accommodated our request! It is to die for! Such a lovely dish really!! We also tried London laksa which surprised us with mussels....

Decided on a take out. The food was amazing. We opted for the lamb satay and duck spring rolls for starters and the beef speciality and didn’t have to wait long for it either.

Food was ok but not fantastic especially for the cost. The lamb satay was off and us upset stomach for a few days. Fried chicken was again reasonable but nothing to write home about. Overall disappointing

I Iive on Newman Street and was looking forward to visiting Laksamania for my birthday. The Wat Tan Hor and Penang Assam Laksa main dishes were nice but that was all. The duck spring rolls hardly had anything in them, very dry. The wine was...

Love the laksa! Great staff , very attentive ! We always come to eat Singaporean Laksa! Amazing service , love their design and location is spot on very close to everything We always will come to this place once we visit london!

Mixed feelings about this place. Friendly staff and the appetisers were lovely (chicken satay and papaya salad were nice). Penang laksa, Singapore curry laksa and beef curry laksa were all good. However my nasi goreng was insipid with a cold, hard fried egg sat on...

The flavours in every dish is phenomenal! We had the Ipoh curry laksa and Melaka curry laksa with sambal okra on the side. The flavours are rich and each dish had a real kick. Eating here brought back happy memories of being in Malaysia. If...

Came back here again! Walked in without a booking quite late, but they very kindly seated us and served us regardless. Very friendly service, food came quickly, amazing portion sizes and great tasting food. Thanks again for another positive experience!

Service was appalling. We are months out of covid restrictions and still menu was just a QR code to scan on the table which feels both cheap and is an extra moment of work for the guest when going to a restaurant should be all...

We had the char kway teow and Ipoh laksa for lunch. The laksa in particular was aromatic and delicious. Being a South East Asian, the taste and smell definitely bring back a lot of memories from home. Service was excellent. Price is on the slightly...

Tonight was the 2nd visit here recently but the first time we didn’t do it justice as we’d had a late afternoon dessert and were still a bit full. We tried their wonton la mien and char kway teow, and vegan version on our first...

Arrived and ordered a bottled of red wine. No red wine available. Had to make do with a bottle of white wine. Ordered 4 starters to share and 3 laksa noodles. The noodles came first. Mentioned it to the manage and he says it’s just...

So happy to find this restaurant, laksa is one of my favourite dishes! Ipoh laksa is just wonderful and I also tried the char keuy teow, plenty of wok hei and the best I had in a very long time

We went to try this out based on a friend's recommendation. Service was excellent and fast. Cendol ice came out top as refreshing. Second was the juicy chicken satay with tasty peanut sauce. Third was the Melaka laksa. The Singapore laksa lacks the strong spicy...

Went there this week, to be honest, it's reasonably priced with nice environment - which being Malaysian, I don't care - it's only done up to attract westerners which I understand completely. Really annoyed by the waitress/waiters - keep pressuring us to order and scan...

Had the satay, London laksa and the Ipoh laksa. The laksa portions was large and both good. The satay which we thought would be a starter Arrived after the laksa’s was served which was odd and also had only 4 sticks. Tasted great and amazing...

Being away from home in Malaysia, it's really rare you get really good *authentic* Malaysian food in central London. This place does both!

Absolutely amazing food, the restaurant is incredible! Highly recommend! Great service and lovely drinks

We are frequent flyers to Laksamania and their food is very authentic; we are from msia and trust me my husband is a man who is very hard to please, but he really loved his food here. Their fish head curry is a must try...

Came here for dinner and had a great vegan laksa. The staff were really funny and friendly, and the atmosphere was cosy for a central London restaurant :)

If Michelin can grade this restaurant it will be a 3 star. All the dishes were absolutely delicious. The Laksa is to die for. I did not believe anyone can make Vegan laksa. Let alone that it taste so good. Street food is so hard...

My husband and I had been craving a decent Malaysian meal. We had Melaka Curry Laksa and Char Kway Teow. All I can say is both dishes were tasty, fragrant and bursting with flavour! We thoroughly enjoyed them. The flavour combinations were spot on and...

Have been coming here for a while now and have always loved the food ♥️. The satay is a must have (definitely eat it with the sauce!) and the laksa is so good too. They also have kangkung!!!! Honestly just a taste from home ☺️...

Being Asian myself and having been overseas for the longest time with covid and not being able to go back this restaurant is amazing. The food is truly authentic and amazing. Tasted like home!!

All the food was great, especially the wat tan ho and the chendol! Service was great too and the owners and workers were very nice.

This was great, will definitely be back. Great for vegans and non vegans. Laksa was incredible. Great for aussies looking for laksa in London.

Hurmmm….frankly i am totally disappointed with the assam laksa. If you are expecting assam laksa like you used to like back in malaysia… this is not the place. Just not authentic at all…. And i am not comparing to those in penang…. I am comparing...

1. Laksa noodles are not cook like al dente. Unfortunately this is not pasta, the noodles need to be fully cooked. 2. Broth fragrant is good but the taste is way too sour (probably too much tamarind) Need to dial down a lot on the...

Services could have been quicker and the food took a little too long but overall is fine. However the laksa we had ordered was just warm and warm coconut soup is not nice. It was sent back and came back ok ish...... I would visit...

Only the chicken is halal. I think there’s confusion about this as the restaurant appears in several halal food websites (despite the alcohol and pork). We ate several chicken dishes which were well presented and not bad. Service was friendly. Lots of Muslim customers so...

Best laksa in London! Lots if options on the menu including several of vegan laksa and noodle dishes. I tried their new mixed vegetable vegan laksa and it was fab. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the service felt so genuine and warm.

Easily the best Malaysian restaurant in U.K. Most authentic food I’ve had outside of Malaysia. Some of the dishes were invented by the family run business n they’re truly amazing. The customer service was stellar and the communication is excellent. You can tell the staff...

wow! amazing food, service and atmosphere. drinks were sensational and the vegan options are amazing! this place is so inclusive and has something for everyone which is often hard to find in central London. I can’t exaggerate how happy I am that I stumbled upon...

Very authentic tasting food; the different laksas that we ordered were certainly true to form and were redolent with different spices and broths. The Penang Adam Laksa was suitably tart in a light broth (though some at the table preferred a thicker broth), the Ipoh...

Delicious, high quality grub and genuinely friendly service. I loved the setting, too — tucked away down a quiet road off Oxford Street, the most stressful road in Great Britain. Order the Cantonese honey barbecued pork with choy sum and your stomach still thank you...

The food from Laksamania is very delicious and authentic, some examples of what we've had are the Melaka laksa, Ipoh laksa, Penang Assam laksa, Lo mein, Laksamania fried chicken, chilli garlic chicken wings... There are always so many things we want to try as every...

After living in Melaka in Malaysia, I am very partial to laksa soup, traditionally made. I have struggled to find a restaurant in London where I live which is authentic but thankfully, I have finally found it. It is flavoursome, not bitty like others i...

We’ve been here several times and love the food It’s a nice atmosphere friendly staff and delicious food reasonably priced.

Took my family there for a meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Great service and good atmosphere too. Will come again.

Delicious food! The laksa was amazingly good! The dessert, wasabi prawns, satay, everything was great. I will go there again. Highly Recommended it!

Laksamania truly hit the spot today for my Malaysian food craving! From curry laksa to wonton mee, wat tan hor, satay, roti canai, grilled chilli squid, kang kung/okra belacan, all delicious. The chendol finished the meal perfectly! We'll be back again soon, especially with the...

The food is full of flavour and the atmosphere is perfect for both dates and catching up with friends. The service is good, quick, and the value for money is amazing here. Have yet to try a dish I did not like.

Laksamania has been one of the friendliest restaurants we’ve been to. The service was (dare I say it) perfect. Each waitress and waiter made us feel at home. The restaurant isn’t hard to get to, although you can get distracted by some of the stores...

we visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was reasonably quiet when we first entered, but It soon got busier! Service was attentive but not overdone, and the food was delicious!

Lovely little eatery. I arrived just after 1pm on Sunday and it was quiet but very busy when I left! Had the Honey Pork to start and the Nyonya Chicken Curry with egg fried rice for main. Everything was full of flavour and freshly prepared....

Went there in January after trying to find a Malaysian Singaporean restaurant that caters for vegetarians and vegans. The menu caters for all types of clientele including meat lovers,all reasonably priced. We had the papaya salad starter plus another,followed by the ramen mains including tempura...

Came here for dinner with friends after having a great experience the first time, and were once again very happy overall! The food tastes great and is reasonably priced, service is pretty quick, and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Restaurant offers halal-chicken and...

Had lunch there with friends, we ordered satay for starters and for main course two of us had Nyonya Lam Mee. The starter arrived whilst we were eating the main course, which was bland and tasteless. The satay was tasty. Will not eat in Laksamania...

Really tasty food, good sized portions, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. What more can you want?

We stopped at this restaurant as we were inspired by the menu displayed on the window and we has been pleased! The food was delicious and the noodles were amazing! The portion of the main dishes were huge but the starters were a bit too...

If you want authentic malay food then come round to Laksamania. It was as if the store came straight out of Bukit Bingtang. Quality, Speed and Authenticity is what helps me cultivate my animalistic hormones as blood rushes to my YingJing

Friendly efficient service all foods explained . Probably the best water topping up in history I feel super hydrated 😊. The Penang Assam laksa was superb 😊😊👍👍

Superb. I'd love to take this taste home with me. Wonderful foodb and friendly efficient service. We'll be back. Thank you

I visited Laskamania today for the first time having stumbled upon it by chance. I had the Malala Laska, and it was divine! Full of flavour and spice, and filling. Service was great, nice venue and ambience. I would definitely go again!

Went with my family today and enjoy every dish we ordered. Nice ambient and the staffs are friendly. Would definitely recommend friends to come to try. After almost a week in UK , we miss our Malaysian food, this restaurant give us delightful enjoyable meal...

I’ve been here many times and brought many friends here. The laksa is really delicious and char kuey teow so fragrant and done well. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice atmosphere and good Malaysian food .

Ordered the Singapore curry laksa which was supposed to have chicken as described in the menu. The food came and the gravy looked like recycled liquid. The supposedly mint leaves were dunk deep in the gravy and presentation of the food was at it's worse....
