Janggut Laksa

Too salty for me. Thick broth. Ingredients very little. When you eat you keep getting bite sands feeling. I wonder what is that. Expensive, starting at 6.50 for small and 8.50 for large. 1 Sep 2026 An uncle who sells wanton noodles next door has very loud voice as he called out queue number. He was the famous uncle who was pushed down to the floor by a young father after he patted the head of his small girl in around July/Aug 2026

I’ve been curious to try this contender for the best laksa. The shop is located in an old coffeeshop in the former Roxy Square building. The place looks old and simple but people keep coming back for its familiar flavour. Compared to the famous laksa brand nearby, Janggut Laksa looks more understated but the flavor is just right; rich, spicy and well balanced. You can also see the coconut husk in the laksa. A simple looking bowl that delivers plenty of comforting flavour.

Sadly, standard has dropped alot. 2 sizes: Small $6.50, Large $8.50 Cash only. Bought the large. Compared to last time, soup is now watered down and thinner. On the salty side without depth. Lack of the delicious fragrance. In the past I could wolf down the whole bowl including the soup, but this time left 1/3 uneaten. Unlikely to return unless standard improves. Also the other stalls aren't fantastic.

Not sure if they belong to the same owner but I’ve tried other outlets with the same branding or with the Katong laksa branding and they are nowhere close to this rich shrimpy coconut broth. The coconut was just the right consistency and creaminess, not too overpowering. Then comes the strong and sweet umami flavor, not fishy at all. Love it! My only complaint is that at $6.50 you can’t really fill your stomach with this, the $8.50 bowl can satisfy your craving more. Portion quite small. Prawns are all cut into half, shelled and cleaned so every bite can be an ingredient or prawn to go together with the thick beehoon. Overall I still would revisit to eat it again! Also place is wonderfully airconditioned so another plus to this!!!

I visited this restaurant after hearing it was the original Katong Laksa shop. It's a semi-street stall-like shop in a space on the first floor of an old commercial building. The laksa has a rich seafood broth with a light coconut flavor and is delicious.

I really don't understand where this roxy sq laksa hype is all about.This must be the worst "famous" laksa I have ever tasted. Any laksa from any other laksa stalls can be better than this.It is salty yet the broth has no umami at all. Lack of ingredients somemore.How possible they get high rating for this mediocre taste. The price list is clearly listed at the stall but the foreign lady staff was not very honest when customer asked about the price range, she tried to overcharge me. Be careful, guys.

Small place with huge crowd. Need to queue. Accept cash only. Portion is ok. Maybe I just don’t vibe with katong laksa. Heard it’s d one Singaporean eat since small.. soup is ok

I visited to compare it with 328 Katong Laksa. The atmosphere was local, and there were very few people around since it was right after opening, which made me a little worried... I heard that this shop's laksa was milder, and while it was indeed milder, it was an authentic blend of various flavors. However, I think many people would agree that the taste isn't necessarily palatable to Japanese people. It's probably better to think of it as an experience of Singaporean laksa rather than a place to enjoy a delicious meal. Cash only. A small portion for eat-in is $6, which is a good deal.
