“ A hidden Burmese gem in NOLO Chef Lin Lin opened a Burmese food stall inside St Roch Market food hall in New Orleans. Despite laksa in the name, most dishes are Burmese. She has a few Malaysian dishes and her own creations too (like omu noodles). Her Burmese dishes are authentic and delicious. I didn’t get to try other dishes. While you are there, check out her other stall Lin’s Kitchen as well. ”
“ I eat here every Monday after the gym and everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. But my all time favorite is the roti wrap. It is so refreshing, filling, and full of flavor. The chef has started to recognize me and has more than once given me appetizers on the house out of generosity. I really appreciate the care and effort they put into their food and it shows. ”
“ I tried the rice pudding, which was warm from just being cooked, and it was delicious! Not too sweet, the rice had such a great texture, and the crunch from the peanuts and sesame seeds was perfect. ”
“ Try all the soups ! Best laksa I've had outside of Malaysia. Very friendly and accommodating service. Outdoor and indoor seating available. ”
“ 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! ”
“ Delicious Burmese food - my introduction. Nice spicy curry and lovely cold peanut noodles. Would love to go back. ”
“ Oh, wow. We tried 3 dishes: Nasi Lemak, Omu Noodles, and Burmese Salad. Everything was amazing. Super fresh ingredients, all the flavors really pop. So delicious! And generous portions, too. A new favorite. ”
“ When I worked at MARFORRES I saw a flyer for Laksa. Then there was the Asian Foodie Fest and had a plate. It was yummy. Then this past weekend I was in the area and stopped to give them a try. Actually turned around and came back to them. Had the shumai and was some of the best shumai I've ever had. Could have used a little ginger I'm the mix but still damn good. Then went with the Laksa bowl. That broth was creamy and perfect. Had the shrimp and chicken with the egg noodles. Asked for it spicy and had to get more of the chili pepper mix. Wish I could have added whatever they top off the shumai with to add a little sweetness but still it was really good and filling. Would do it again. ”
