The skinless chicken laksa with vermicelli noodles is divine. Great value for money, tasty and very filling. I'll keep coming back here!

This is my favourite Laksa in Sydney and, for me, is worth flying internationally to experience. So the place is a hole and is unlikely to appear in and Food Vogue photoshoot but you're here for the food, right? Service? What service?

Excellent value for money so if you don't get here at 11.30 during the week you can expect a big queue. Conveniently open on Saturdays.

I ordered the Ipoh Hor Fun and, unfortunately, I fell ill the next day. The service size was not very big either. Maybe it was just this batch but not sure if I will return again.

Further to my review 1 year ago, I returned today. I ordered Hainan chicken, which comes served with rice, veggies and soup. Needless to say, it was perfectly cooked. My mate had a prawn laksa which he polished off happliy and easily. The Laksa takes some skill fressing without mess. I heartily recommend a paper bib for an extra $.50 - far less than the dry cleaning bill and cute for photos posted on to Facebook. This place gets packed early and throughout lunch. High turnover of tables and money. Well worth a visit.

I love the Laksa here. Either skinless chicken or prawn in huge bowls. The Chicken rice is great too. It's crowded it's busy but perfect for a delicious quick lunch. Try the specials of the day they never disappoint.

I have not had a laksa from this place in ages, so today as I was in the city at lunch I took myelf to Hunter street and had simply the best chicken laksa since the last time I was there. Its busy, crowded and noisy but who cares. $8.70 and I couldn't finish it! Wonderful laksa, tremendous value.

For starters I call this place 'Hunter Street Laksa' because it's all I eat here! By far the best laksa I have had anywhere. I've been coming here for close to 10 years and the chicken and king prawn laksa always maintains the same amazing sauce. And a bargain for $10. I heard the chicken rice is pretty good also. Maybe one day I'll try something other than laksa!

I love this place. I go there often and portions are usually generous, given the crowds I decided to get takeaway today and only got 3 king prawns. I expected a minimum of 6 prawns and even then I think thats quite light on. Kinda disappointed, will go back, but will be asking how many prawns at the point of ordering.

For me, this place produces The benchmark laksa, lumpia, hor fan, etc. I think I've been spoilt by this place every since uni at Phillip St (Ok now you know how roughly old I am and where I went to school) because I've never found a laksa I like better, whether in Sydney, Singapore or Penang.

Quantities are generous and the service is fast. Often it's too crowded so maybe go in the arvo or on Saturday. I think they suit Australians' tastes a bit better by going light on the curry, making the soup thick and sweet and adding heat through the chilli, although I know a Malaysian who loves their Assam Laksa special.

The best Laksa I have ever had. Tried restaurants in most of Australia's and NZ's capital cities and none come close. Even tried in Malaysia and Singapore and they do not have the quality. No the ambience is ordinary but hey its street food with a seat. For less than $10 one can have a great meal. I love the cooked and chopped chilli also. Get a bib and save your shirt/blouse. I've followed the owner around for more than 10 years.
