Laut

Good food but not a standout. The beef was tender and flavorful and the soup had a nice tanginess to it. However it’s not that memorable compared to other Malaysian restaurants I’ve tried in New York. It was also noticeably pricier and the portion of the beef was tiny compared to the price. Service was also lackluster. The female server wasn’t that friendly and I had to ask for water refills. I think for the price it’s not worth it.

Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and you could tell a lot of care went into the dishes. The flavors were bold but balanced, and nothing felt rushed or thrown together. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was solid too. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking to try Malaysian food or just want a good meal. Great date spot for me and my girlfriend!

We sat at the bar at Luat on a Friday evening, and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. There were two of us, and we ordered quite a few dishes to share. We started with the Murtabak, which was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and had just the right amount of spice. Next was the Nyonya fries—super crispy and incredibly delicious. We finished with the soft shell crab curry, which was rich, flavorful, and had a well-balanced level of spiciness. We also ordered two drinks, which paired nicely with the food. Highly recommend coming with a group so you can order multiple dishes and share. Definitely a great spot for a fun night out. Ben, the bartender was so amazing :)

I got the curry laksa with shrimp. I liked it! The broth was rich and creamy, although more mildly flavored than I expected, and there was a nice amount of noodles. The tofu puffs soaked up the broth really well, turning into little sponges of broth that exploded in my mouth. I will say, I've had better shrimp, but it still went well with the dish. I do wish the bowl had more cucumber and mint though, and I would've also enjoyed a bit more spice, but it was a good dish overall. They gave me some complementary spring rolls too which was a nice touch! I also really liked the atmosphere in here, the interior design is very cool and ties in well with the food. My server was very sweet and attentive, he did a wonderful job. I'd recommend this place if you're in the area.

Every dish was super flavorful and scrumptious 😋 it’s the type of place you’ll want to revisit. The service was wonderful and the front lady was very lovely (if you ever see this, thank you for holding onto my nespresso bag🫶🥺🥹💙) It’s a small and popular spot so highly recommend making reservations esp on weekends
