The curry laksa has a generous amount of seafood toppings and an amazing thick saucy broth.

What a hidden gem for great tasting south east asian cuisine. I would know best having grown up in Singapore!

The closest to authentic Malaysian food you can find in SF. The thai iced tea is also the best I've had in SF.

Not a place for Malaysian because the food does not taste right at all. Very disappointed. They don't even have Teh Tarik. Malaysian Restaurant in Los Angeles taste way better and close to home.

Fried seafood done well! Don't leave the fish head: the cheeks have the softest meat.
