- 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. #TwoIsBetterThanOneUpvote10Downvote
- 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.Upvote9Downvote
- 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!Upvote6Downvote
- 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. - 6/4/14UpvoteDownvote
- 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 soupUpvoteDownvote
- 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.UpvoteDownvote

- 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!UpvoteDownvote
- 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 moreUpvoteDownvote

- Chin SMNovember 28, 2015Although it was fully packed with people, food came fast and service is friendly. Delicious!UpvoteDownvote
- 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.UpvoteDownvote

- 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.Upvote1Downvote
