Best Laksa in Sydney

I love laksa! I have loved this divine, big bowl of spicy noodle soup for many years and always need to get a regular fix of the stuff.

I have tried laksa all over Sydney and have my favourite places to go to get the best laksa in Sydney. Here is the list of my favourite places that serve delicious laksa in Sydney:

Ba Ba Laksa House – King Street Sydney (City CBD)

Located on the lower ground floor of the Grace Hotel in the heart of the Sydney CBD, Ba Ba Laksa House is a small lunch time favourite for city workers around this area. Line up to order your laksa, grab a seat and they call out when your laksa is ready. Ba Ba Laksa House serves up some seriously tasty laksa. You can see from the rich colour of the broth they take some time to cook this big bowl of yummy. I had the beef laksa, and the beef pieces just falls apart as you pick it up with your chop sticks. Delicious!

Laksa King – Erskine Street Sydney (City)

Again I think the name of this restaurant gives away that they serve Laksa. This place is just around the corner from my work. I go in here at least once a week to get take away. I have never been a fan of take away Laksa so I instead go for the chicken curry which is in my opinion is the best chicken curry in Sydney. When I do have time to eat in, I go for their chicken laksa. Laksa King serve up a big bowl of yummy! The Laksa here has a nice selection of fresh Chinese vegetables as well as the lovely toasted tofu squares. I just love the way the tofu soaks up the Laksa. They also put a big dollop of chili sambal on top of the laksa. Mix it in if you like it really spicy! Read more about Laksa King Sydney.

Ipoh Town in Barangaroo

Ipoh Town is a Malaysian fast food restaurant location within The Canteen at Barangaroo on the western side of the Sydney CBD, close to King Street Wharf.

Ipoh Town do an excellent laksa. Their chicken laksa costs $13.50. This is one of the spicest laksas you will try in Sydney. The top of the soup is a bright red colour from all the red chilli which is used during the cooking of the soup.

Inside the soup there are some excellent baked tofu, sliced shallots, a generous serve of good quality chicken and they have 2 types of noodles in the soup, the thin rice laksa noodles and some thick egg noodles.

Happy Chef – Sydney Chinatown

I discovered the laksa at Happy Chef on the top floor of the Sussex Street Centre at 401 Sussex Street Haymarket Sydney (Chinatown) more than 12 years ago and this is my number 1 (now number 2 – see above) place to go eat Laksa in Sydney. My Laksa of choice from the Happy Chef is the Spicy Beef Laksa. The laksa has large, succulent, fall apart meat cubes (a bit like spicy randang beef) which creates a whole new dimension to the lovely spicy curry laksa soup. The food court that Happy Chef is in is noisy and busy and sometimes hard to find a table but I will always wait to get my laksa here.

Pho Pasteur Vietnamese Restaurant – Parramatta

My second favourite Laksa in Sydney is found in a Vietnamese Restaurant out west in Parramatta, just up Church Street from Westfields. Pho Pasteur Vietnamese Restaurant has been there for many years and always busy with people, with loads of Vietnamese people. I go for the chicken Laksa at Pho Pasteur (which usually is my favouite laksa). There is something about their curry laksa soup, so dark in colour with the nice chili oil floating on top. When I start eating the laksa here I just want to jump in the bowl and eat from the inside swimming around that creamy laksa soup. Served up with a separate plate of bean sprouts and fresh chopped chili so you can add to your liking. I dump this whole plate in the laksa and mix it all about. Pho Pasteur is located at 137 Church Street Parramatta. Pho Pasteur also has a restaurant in Haymarket, just up from Sydney’s Chinatown at 709 George Street, just a short walk from Central Train Station. Read more about Pho Pasteur Parramatta.

Ipoh on York – 89 York Street Sydney

Opened for around 2 years now, Ipoh on York quickly became a very popular lunch time venue. Serving up a range of Malaysian food including Nasi Lemak and of course my favourite Chicken Laksa in Sydney. Located down some stairs, they have a large area with tables and chairs though it fills up quickly at lunchtimes. Get in early to get a table and try their fantastic Laksa.
