Best food I have had in a while. Nasi lemak with fried chicken was divine and the laksa really blew us away. Will come back again soon. Highly recommended!!!

A gem of a restaurant in the heart of hipster Fitzroy. Don’t be fooled by its modern Melbourne cafe look and feel, this place knows authentic Malaysian. Whilst the prices are probably slightly higher than your average Malaysian Chinese restaurant, their service and quality more than makes up for it. Really can’t go wrong with everything on the menu, but the stars appear to be the nasi lemak and laksas. Hot tip: order a few entrees to share with your meal, it’s worth it!

I’m currently working my way down the menu list but I usually can’t get past dishes such as roti jala and keropok lekor. My current favourite is fish curry rice with crispy barramundi.So far, everything is pretty yummy and people that are making/serving the food are so lovely.

I was searching for an Asian restaurant near me and stumbled on this Malaysian restaurant in Fitzroy. Delicious food and fast friendly service, with plenty of well thought out Vegan options, including the kantan vegan laksa. The kantan style chicken ribs were exceptional. Also enjoyed a nice coffee. We also started with sardine curry puffs, which I’d never tried, but that were excellent.

Seriously, if I could give more stars, I would.My daughter found this place, she said the Vegan Laksa was the best she had ever had.The Fried Rice was divine.We all had different foods, the taste of each meal was absolutely music to our taste buds.If you ever have to go to one place, this would be it!The Staff and Chefs were so lovely.We will definitely be going back, definitely recommend you go pay a visit-you won’t be disappointed.

I was at Kantan recently and I ordered the curry laksa. I was surprised to learn that the soup base was vegetarian, but I couldn't tell! It was so flavorful and delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked, tofu was tender, eggplant super flavourful and the vegetarian char siu had an amazing texture (you can order chicken laksa but I wanted to be vegetarian for the day). The curry was rich and creamy, and it had a perfect balance of heat and spice. I would definitely recommend this dish to anyone who is looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

I'm hesitant to review KANTAN publicly because it's such an underrated gem and I worry that once people learn about it, I'll have to book months in advance. Alas, they deserve every word of praise they can get!This place is incredible — it is hands-down the best vegan laksa in town! The staff are lovely and the venue is perfect for a chill catch-up with friends.

Great relaxed vibe and setting. The staff were friendly and the service brilliant - the chef brought the food out to table as they were really busy. Where do I start with the food - WOW! Crispy Barramundi cooked to perfection and each mouthful of the fish curry had a different flavour. Such an exciting meal - Thank You, can't wait to come back. Would definitely recommend this place to friends

There's only one dish on the menu at the moment but it is a super tasty one! It's the Hainanese Chicken Rice and it is super delicious. Full of flavour and tastes as good as what you can get back in Singapore/Malaysia. The team there are super friendly and I look forward to what they bring out over time as they become more established in that location. I hear that Nasi Lemak is out next on the menu...
