- Su-ianneApril 14, 2016I'm a very picky laksa person. But.. The laksa here and the one opposite(哑巴bisu) is seriously the best of the best! Both taste great. Do give both a try instead of just one. #TwoIsBetterThanOne
- Gary HorNovember 16, 2015Some say it's the best. I have to agree and disagree. It's among my favourites but it's not at the top spot. Anthony Bourdain loves this on his show, No Reservations.
- Stewart TanApril 29, 2017One of the best Asam Laksa you'll taste in Penang. Authentic and flavorful, RM5 for one bowl. Standards have dropped a bit but still worth a try!
- mr nobodyAugust 24, 2019The sifu still hand pours each bowl to ensure you get just the right amount of fish.. pity the son, like a kungfu movie, after so many years, he's still deemed not worthy to yield the ladle. - 6/4/14
- Chris LeeJuly 21, 2018One of the famous touristy asam laksa place. Surrounding can be very hot and uncomfortable. Laksa without prawn paste tasted very bland, best to go with it. Best combo fried popiah dip with laksa soup
- Shiroi YukiJune 18, 2018Authentic famous Penang Asam Laksa, noodle served in fish meat thick broth soup. A Lil bit spicy, small serving and served warm. Open air seating, quick service.
- mizz linJanuary 2, 2015$5 per big bowl now lol. Still as good. Do order the fried spring rolls to go with it. That's because that's the correct way to enjoy this dish
- Nicholas KhoongNovember 22, 2019Come here for to me the best assam laksa in Penang! But be prepare to share table, sweat like pig. But its worth it !
- Lis ChiaAugust 8, 2013My fav laksa in Penang. Super pack all the time but no worries, you can get a seat in a seconds. Love the lobak stall just beside, a must order too. More surprised me, parking only rm0.40!
- Tracy LohJune 10, 2019i have to disagree with all that say this assam laksa is good, it was so disappointing for us, and there's definitely better ones out there. https://t.co/fMvw0ePMBU
- NeMeSiSDecember 29, 2015Quick and efficient service. A bowl cost only RM4.50. Good place to come to have a taste of Asam Laksa. Servicing just nice. Environment is not the best.
- Ev3y 媚 ™October 25, 2014Speechless... You must must must try this if you are in Penang! My all time fav! The taste is damn delicious!
- Andrew WongApril 28, 2017Despite the foul smelling market behind and the unhygienic drains in front, this place has been drawing the crowds for the past 60 years!
- alwyn gohFebruary 20, 2015Very good, but that's a drop from legendary. Peripherals are good with broth being veritable spice garden, with bunga kantan prominent. Tad short of uncontested fishy richness.
- Khoo JuneMay 8, 2017Can't get this consistency of Asam Laksa KL. Usually those in KL are too watery. Pasar Air Itam Asam Laksa had a thick flavorful broth with the right amount of spiciness that keeps you wanting more
- Simpson ChuanAugust 18, 2018Eewww.. Dirty, Not local people's choice. Try their opposite one Bisu Laksa, not bad at least they are clean. Another one is located at Jalan Rambutan opposite Fairy Heights, that one really must try.
- Suki ChuaFebruary 21, 2017Best asam laksa!! I am one who do not like asam laksa for its fishy taste and smell, but after eating this asam laksa, love d mint leaves, bunga kantang aroma and sour taste :-)
- Jason LeeApril 10, 2017Good balance of the spicy, sourness and others taste. It's A must for me if happen in Penang.
- Chin SMNovember 28, 2015Although it was fully packed with people, food came fast and service is friendly. Delicious!
- Luis W.January 19, 2015Penang authentic laksa! Really the jeng! Please visit on weekdays if possible to avoid long long queue. MYR 4 per bowl by Jan 2015.
- mizz linOctober 8, 2015Due to a family fued , the main chef has flown the nest and joined his daughters shop in Klang . If he held back some secrets it shows. The soup is not as good. Too sweet. No kick.
- Assam Laksa is superb delicious. RM4.50 per bowl and from 10.30am to 7pm.
- Jen OoiMarch 24, 2015Penang's famous authentic asam laksa is here in air itam. Lots of fish n absolutely delicious. Must eat it when in Penang.
- Michelle LohJanuary 13, 2015ma' messy bowl of assam laksa but it's so good! Big chunks of fish meat too.
- Tabitha JohnsonFebruary 2, 2017I love street food but felt a bit disappointed by this laska. The broth has a strong fishy aroma along with prawn paste became overwhelming. Preferred the laksa near Penang Famous Chendol.
- Kartina Lim Qian PinkFebruary 7, 2019Best laksa in town with generous portion. Goes well with sugar cane drink located at the store next door.
- One of the best laksa in town! My favourite place to have laksa since childhood 😋
- Clarise YingOctober 11, 2016Laksa + Poh Piah = Lovely. But abit disappointed with the soya bean and sugar cane drink.
- Carol SoongAugust 14, 2015Delicious Air Itam Laksa after walking down from kek lok si. Opens from 10.30am to 7pm. Crowded....
- Eli HorneJanuary 27, 2015Tasty asam laksa. In previous adventures I've found the laksa leaf to be too strong, but this was delicious.
- J35 LynJuly 29, 2016Still one of the best asam laksa but ppl staying in Penang will never go there eat laksa. Only tourist will go.
- SiauHwa TewDecember 7, 2014Look around who is finishing, stand by to wait. Sit down, order, pay and enjoy. RM4 per serving. It's fast food but nice fast food.
- Wan Yean TanSeptember 15, 2012If the place is full or weather is too hot, order a bowl and go over to Bean Station across the road. You can enjoy your laksa with air con.
- Rin LumNovember 11, 2016Lots of ingredients in the bowl: onion and cucumber slices, etc. Suitable for people not looking for surprises
- Michelle LohJanuary 13, 2015A bowl of yummy laksa + Fresh pressed sugar cane juice = perfect combo :D
- Kenneth WongApril 15, 2017Do have a try on the Asam Laksa...it's just less than 100m from the Sister Curry Mee!
- Jun TangFebruary 18, 2018Favourite laksa ever, and always remember to order otak otak from the truck next to it!
- Philip LeeFebruary 9, 2017Old uncle isn't here anymore. I remember this was where I had my first ever asam laksa. Just isn't the same anymore tho it's recommended if youve never tried it before and heading to Ke Lok Si
- KF TangNovember 25, 2016Tho famous n good stuff but unless you wouldn't mind the filthy environment with flies and market waste around ... enjoy your fill
- I'd rather call this VEGGIE FISH SOUP, ya I mean they really put so much veggie in the bowl but the fish soup is no doubt very neat!
- Albert PhuaSeptember 7, 2013I finished the 1st bowl of asam laksa in less than 2 minutes. So I get another bowl! It's really DELICIOUS!!
- Sara FooNovember 4, 2013It is always good.. Never fail us... Penang trip is never complete if i dont stop by here.. :)
