Why go

Laut is a $$ Thai-listed restaurant with a broader Southeast Asian pull in the reviews: roti canai, char kway teow, beef rendang, Hainanese chicken rice, satay, curry. The room is described as small and full of personality, with a robust cocktail menu and food that works best when shared.

The data backs up the crowd: 4.3 stars from 2,398 Google reviews, plus 153 all-time Blackbird on-chain check-ins from its first recorded check-in on September 4, 2024 through April 14, 2025. Wednesday and Tuesday are its busiest Blackbird days, which makes Laut feel less like a weekend-only pick and more like a reliable midweek craving spot.

Reviewers keep circling the same strengths: excellent roti canai, flavorful tandoori satay, generous Hainanese chicken rice, and char kway teow praised by someone with Singapore and Kuala Lumpur reference points. Book ahead; one five-star review calls the dining space small and says plainly: make a reservation.

Coming from someone who hasn't had much Malaysian food, it was really good! The tandoori satay was so flavorful and juicy and tender. The Hainanese chicken rice came with generous portion of fried chicken and sauces to eat with gingery rice. Highly recommend. The Anthony Borda…

We made a reservation for Laut on a rainy Saturday night. Restaurant was crowded, but we were seated fairly quickly. We started with the roti canai, which was truly excellent. For entrées, we ordered their Char Kway Teow and a basil chicken dish. I was actually pleasantly surp…
