Food and atmosphere are unique but be alert about the serving employees. Lady worker didn't bother to talk. Other guy was was so rude that I lost my appetite. Not welcoming, rude answers to all food related questions. OMG. I don't know how they do business with this attitude. Or, may be I was racially profiled. Burmese attitude to a bangali, you know why.
Service is so slow, if you are in hurry, don't order. I ordered at 12:07 PM, now it's 12:35 PM, food not ready yet. Finally food received at 12:40 PM, 33 minutes later.

Tried Laksa for the first time last night. Recently discovered St Roch Market and love going there. Technically, I have had their Burmese Tea multiple times, but never the food. The lady who took my order was super friendly and helped me decide on a dish. I decided to get something called Nasi Lemak. I asked for it to-go, but it smelled so good when it arrived that started to eat it at the market. Before I knew it, I had eaten the entire thing! The gravy/sauce was mild, but flavorful. In my opinion, it reminded me of an Asian take on stew. So good! The soup featured in picture 2 was also really good. I think it had lemongrass in it. Highly recommend this restaurant as well as ALL the restaurants at St Roch Market. I've never had Burmese food before so I can't compare it to another place, but Laksa is delicious, reasonably priced, and a healthy choice.

My first time inside this food court! I was delightfully, surprised to see so many good options and decided to go with Lux Nola. They have a large menu with lots of unique options that you can get elsewhere. I got the noodles. When the food came out, it was huge portion sizes, a little bit confused on the pricing since it didn’t seem to match on the menu, I think on the menu it was around $17 and some change however, the total after tax came to be around $22. The noodles are great, lots of flavor with a splash of Lime taste in it. The chicken was underwhelming, it was more on the dry and cold side. Overall, it’s a good place to get Asian food.

This food is fire. The chef was so accommodating and personable. Got the spring rolls, satay and chicken laksa. Highly recommend it all. I could eat this broth everyday. Everything was so fresh and flavorful! Will be back for sure

Takin' this goodness to go, still so good a half hour later on an outdoor excursion. Crisp and clear were all the ingredients in how they interacted with one another, fresh bites and just enough flavor to savor for the holy moment. Lasting memories which I'm grateful Laksa could be a part of.

Not the biggest fan of the food. I have little to no experience with Burmese cuisine, so I don’t want to be critical and say it's not authentic because I don’t know. I will say to me, the noodle dishes tasted like soy sauce and ketchup. Everything needed more salt, and a lot more spice. Stir fry had overcooked oily veggies as opposed to a nice crunch.

The roti was very good, the thai tea was pretty good. Everything else not really. For what you pay, I think the portions make sense. It was a pretty good amount of food compared to what others say.

To go order. Ordered roti Chennai with chicken. Chicken was absent. Dish was therefore a small pot of uninspiring vegetable sauce and some bread (which is very nice) for $15 tax and tip. Rainbow salad tasted good but was essentially a lot of cucumber and iceberg lettuce. Chicken. Satay was very nice. Out the door this cost close to $50 and it just wasn't much food or that impressive. Last time we got food here it was better. Honestly, Budsi Thai is better value and has supremely better flavor profiles. Shame. Laksa is becoming the next Shuko Thai. If only the price was as average as the rest of the experience

To preface this review, the food here isn’t authentic Malaysian food, so you will be disappointed if that’s what you’re expecting. However, it’s not bad and worth the trip if you’re craving laksa or nasi lemak. The food here tends to be on the bland side of the real dish. The nasi lemak came with a curry side, which isn’t a combination I’ve seen before. The chicken satay tasted good, but it needed more char on the outside. It also wasn’t marinated thoroughly and was very bland on the inside. I enjoyed the Burmese ice tea, it tastes very similar to milk tea. I would come again if I’m craving food from home.

Try all the soups 🍲! Best laksa I've had outside of Malaysia. Very friendly and accommodating service. Outdoor and indoor seating available.

I ordered the Laksa Bowl which was a soup made with chicken, shrimp, and veggie broth as listed on the menu. When I got my meal, I could tell there was coconut milk in the broth, which I have a sensitivity to. I inquired about the amount of coconut milk in the broth, which I figured was probably minimal considering it wasn't listed on the menu, and the employee working took that as an opportunity to talk down to me, and honestly be quite mean. I wasn't pushy or impatient, and I wasn't expecting anything free from this inquiry, I simply wanted to know so I could decicde whether or not I should eat it. As someone who works in the service industry, it was a wild way to treat someone who tipped 30% on a $40 tab.

Excellent experience. Had been watching Uncle Roger so much that it finally hit me to find a Malaysian restaurant in Nola. So glad I found Laska Nola. Excellent authentic food. So flavorful. I cleaned my dish and ramekins. Stellar customer service by the owner. What more can I say? I will definitely return soon and highly recommend this gem. Thank you!
