One of the most popular Malaysian restaurants in Melbourne, their laksa soup is delicious and huge. Lots of other tasty Malaysian dishes on offer too.
This place is always busy, but don't leave early if there's a line. It moves pretty quickly.
There's also the competing Chef Lagenda next door, which is equally good though we reckon the seafood laksa at Laksa King is better and lighter.
Also its Cash only, but there is an ATM inside.

MEXICAN
Delicious, messy, greasy mexican food served with great smoky margaritas.
This isn't fancy or refined food but good flavours and reminded us of the street food vendors and Taquerias in Mexico City.
The flan is amazing, a must if you can fit it in after all the homemade tortillas
