Laksa Janggus Kak Timah feels like exactly what it is — a hawker-style kampung warung meant for a simple, no-frills stop-by, especially if you happen to be around the area for an evening tea.

The food is not bad, the service is very bad, please help us we came from far away not to eat for free, the staff's faces from the water to the koteow area are very strict, ordering koteow asked if it was ready yet, giving instructions…

The food I've had since I was little is here. It's still delicious & maintains the same taste. It's just that there's no more foam. The fried bananas & sweet potatoes are also solid. The day I went, it was a bit expensive.

I know your business is already famous, you can treat customers as you like. If you eat well, it feels like it's ruined, it's too salty, the cake is too sweet. If I can slap the face of the employee, you know.

the food is overhyped tbh, i was expecting much more since i heard a lot from people. I ordered kuey teow goreng and what arrived was what you would expect a boarding school dining hall serves.

I visited Laksa Janggus with my family. The stall workers at the laksa counter were very nice but unfortunately, the queue was too long, so we ordered from Stall 4 instead.

1st time came in the evening. Everything was ok and delicious except the shrimp noodles with ceroi sauce, just add water. Very disappointed because I really wanted to eat the shrimp noodles but the sauce was so bad.

The laksa staff didn't want to say a word. People asked the price and didn't want to answer. The price was written down but we wanted to confirm if it was the right price. People didn't even want to look at the receipt when we showed them.

no comment from the beginning until now it's the same no matter where you go because the food is delicious but the service is just sour and there's no smile at all, one day people don't come, don't wonder why?
