Lao San Prawn Noodles

While some patrons praise the 'Dry Traditional Prawn Noodle' for its well-cooked noodles and rich, comforting soup, others report a significant drop in quality, particularly for the dry version, with one reviewer calling it 'one of the worse I’ve tasted.' A recurring complaint centres on the portion size of prawns, with a $4.90 bowl reportedly containing only '3 small HALF prawn,' which we find to be a meagre offering.

Service appears to be a major pain point, with multiple accounts of staff being 'nonchalant, rude,' and slow to process orders.

There are also reports of issues with basic requests, such as adding chilli padi, and a policy of charging for soup containers for takeaway orders.

We think the inconsistent food quality and poor customer service are significant deterrents.

We'd recommend this only if you're in the immediate vicinity and are willing to risk a potentially frustrating experience for the chance of a decent bowl of dry prawn noodles, but be prepared for slow service and potentially small portions.
