Best Vegan Laksa

Mirroring the opinions of other reviewers and recommending the vegan laksa! Probably the best one I've tried. They have really yummy drinks here too.
I loved the location and the vibe, and the staff were super friendly too.

Busy place but great laksa

This place is open for dinner and it is recommended that you make a booking as this place gets very busy. There is a nice vibe inside. The vegan laksa is delicious. It is thick and creamy and bursting with flavour. The vegetarian spring rolls were average but okay. The vegan options are very clearly labelled on the menu and there are a decent number of vegan options, maybe five or six in total. The restaurant is right on Darwin Waterfront, which at night is very beautiful, lively, and romantic, so walking along the waterfront at night after a good meal at Chow was a great experience.

Pros: Really nice vegan laksa , Located in the picturesque Darwin Waterfront

Great atmosphere & food

heaps of options which include vegan rice paper rolls, spring rolls, laksa, sweet and sour soup, stir fried vegetables and kang koong. We tried the rice paper rolls, laksa and stir fried veggies and loved them all.

Also tried one of their cocktails of the day (yuzu margerita), which was a highlight.

While it is in the waterfront precinct, do not expect waterfront views.

Pros: Great food, Cocktails of the day, Unlimited sparkling water for $3.50

Get the laksa!

I’ve been coming to Darwin once a year for 4 years now and I always go to Chow and get the laksa. This time I branched out and got the fried rice and the spring rolls as well, but the laksa is so good. If you’re going to deck chair cinema, then this is a great spot to get dinner beforehand

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan options , Laksa is great, Great drinks menu

Cons: Not really any cons tbh, It can be a little bit noisy

The Vegan Laksa is 🙏🙌🔥

I was craving noodle soup and everything from the delicious creamy broth to the fresh veggies in the Laksa was on point!

Great Pad Thai

The pad Thai was delicious. The only downside was we had to take chopsticks from another table as our table only had two spoons. Not really a major flaw since the food was delicious!

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan items. , Most vegetarian things are vegan

Clearly marked vegan options

We had the veggie pad Thai that is already vegan as well as the rice paper rolls. Very yummy!

If we had more room we would have ordered a few other things.

Service was friendly and pretty quick. Would definitely go back!

Tasty vegan dishes

Great busy restaurant on the waterfront. Great service and very helpful with vegan options. Happy to convert from vegetarian to vegan with no issues. Had vegan spring rolls, which were so fresh and delicious followed by my pad Thai. The serving size was huge, tofu cooked perfect with lots of fresh vegetables.

Pros: Vegan options , Great service and happy to make vegan changes

Cons: A little pricy but expected for location

Tasty laksa, good vegan options

Good recommendation for some vegan options in Darwin. I had the laksa and it wasn’t amazing, but was still yummy and hit the spot.

Pros: Vegan options marked, Nice setting

Worst ‘laksa’ I’ve ever had

If the sloppy congee of broken rice noodles wasn’t bad enough, the flavour of the soup was nonexistent. A packet of two-minute noodles with bok choy and tofu would have been infinitely more fulfilling (not to mention $16.50 cheaper than this godawful slop).


Updated from previous review on 2021-05-17

Cons: worst meal I’ve ever paid for, 2-minute noodles would’ve been infinitely better

Restaurant with cearly labelled vegan options

Chow is a Vietnamese and South East Asian restaurant with a nice outdoor seating area. The vegan options are clearly labelled on the menu, including vegan laksa. They also offer a vegan banquet for 4 people. Service was okay.
