This well-discovered Malaysian destination off Oxford Street “does much more than laksa”, with a lineup of hawker-style street-food favourites. Reports on the cooking this year noted hits and misses: “satay was outstanding… but noodles fell apart and had no wok flavour…”; “great laksa!”; “the vegan variety lacked the authentic taste…”

“The best laksa ever” (spicy noodle soup) might be overdoing it, but this well-appointed two-year-old, just off Oxford Street, wins consistent praise for its Malaysian cooking.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
