Our take: Janggut Laksa, often cited as 'The Original Katong Laksa,' generally receives positive feedback for its signature dish.
Reviewers frequently praise the creamy, coconut-rich gravy and recommend pairing it with their otah.
The shop space is noted as cozy and often less crowded than other laksa spots.
However, some recent feedback points to a decline in standards, with complaints about the laksa being watery, portions decreasing, and noodles being undercooked.
We also noted a significant issue with the curry chicken, where customers received small portions of hard chicken, despite paying around $12 per dish.
While the laksa and otah appear to be consistent highlights for many, the quality of other menu items and recent inconsistencies in the laksa itself are concerns.
We'd recommend sticking to the laksa and otah for the most reliable experience, but be aware that quality might vary.

Standards have really declined over the years. Laksa is so much more watery than the past, portions have decreased and noodles are hard and not well cooked.
