We enjoyed some wonderfully tasty Laksa dishes surrounded by peaceful music. The owner was extremely caring, offering my niece, who was not feeling well, a healing ginger tea that certainly helped her recover. Good memories from a place I would strongly recommend to visit!

First time having Laksa. When asked, the lady explained the difference between them all. It came out very quickly. I really enjoyed it, the flavours were nice. It tasted fresh. I just think it could have been hotter. I would recommend to come here. Just...didn’t warrant 5/5 is all, but none the less very enjoyableMore

If you are looking for good laksa in Penang, this is the place to go. The owner is very friendly and helpful. She patiently explained all the dishes to us Canadians.

This is a real find. Our guide took us there for lunch and to try a few local dishes. The laksa dishes were both delicious, coupled with a portion of the jackfruit spring rolls. And the laksa tea was yummy - so refreshing. Finishing off...with iced cendol was just the ticket. We met the owner and she is totally charming, and very focused on providing great food from local produce at very reasonable prices. All that with aircon, too!More

Had the vegetarian Laksa with onions and it was delicious. It was my first laksa for a long time so it‘s difficult to compare - but the taste is unbeatable and the service very friendly 🥰

The food surpassed my expectations.... Especially the nyonya assam laksa.. The only thing that could have made the experience better was the service. The wait was quite long, however it did not bother me as much since I was not in a rush. Moreover, the...prices are reasonable and portions are good. It was overall a pleasant experience.More

Wherever I travel, I seek out the laksa that is authentic to the locals. I have tried Singapore Laksa in, variations of Sarawak Assam Laksa, Ipoh Laksa, and Penang Assam Laksa. The laksa at Laksalicious is not anything like what this photo shows. We ordered...the Nyonya Assam Laksa with prawn cracker, their purported signature dish and was very disappointed with the lack of ingredients. The soup was tasty but there wasn't any fish visible. Just a small amount of noodles, three slivers of pineapple core, small amount of julienned cucumbers and a sprinkling onions and lettuce. An adding to our negative dining experience a rat ran across the dining area into the kitchen! We decided on this restaurant based on its appearance on its Tripadvisor even though the reviews were mixed. I definitely do not recommend this place and will not be returning. And I believe it is a bad reflection to have the Tripadvisor banner placed so prominently on their restaurant's entrance!More

Visited Laksalicious with a group of friends on 10/11/2022 for late lunch. We all of us ordered Penang Asam Laksa and a few more finger snacks. We all ordered Laksa drinks as well..... The moment we drank our beverage and eat the Asam Laksa, it...was heavenly and superb. In my personal taste bud, this is the best asam laksa I ever tasted. Second to none..... and the laksa beverage was a eye opener. Very refreshing and taste superb. All my other friends commended excellent as well and because the Asam Laksa taste was really good, we even bought/booked the ready pack (Frozen) Asam Laksa.... I bought 25 packets and my friends brought some more for them selves. The lady owner (Christine) was a very wonderful person. Very friendly and helpful. It was raining heavily at that time. She offered me and my friend umbrellas to go over and get the car. When the car arrives, she took the trouble of shielding my other friends to the car under the rain. Thank you for going the extra mile for the excellent service. Overall: Food and drinks (Asam Laksa noodle and Asam Laksa drink) was beyond excellent. Service: Top notch. The extremely best in it's class. Will I return: You got to be kidding me... of course I will. Thank you to all Laksalicious team members. It was a memorable excellent experience.

I ordered vegetarian Laksa Lemak thick noodles for RM11.90. The broth was delicious. Unfortunately, the ingredients were not much. Chendol with Gila Melaka tasted good for RM8.50. Great!
