328's signature laksa features thick rice vermicelli noodles swimming in a deeply aromatic coconut broth infused with spices. The broth is made fresh every hour using a secret blend. Topped with prawns, cockles, fish cakes, and bean sprouts. Small bowl is perfect for one person.
Tips from diners
The small bowl is generous — most people find it filling. The large bowl is shared by two people or ordered by very hungry diners.
Order early morning on weekdays when the broth is freshest. After 8pm, the flavour can get a bit diluted as it sits.
A refreshing drink to accompany your laksa — freshly squeezed lime juice chilled with ice and a pinch of salt to bring out the citrus flavour. The tanginess cuts through the richness of the coconut broth.
Tips from diners
Order this with your laksa — the cold, tangy juice is the perfect complement to the warm, spicy broth. Helps cool your palate between spoonfuls.
Otah is a traditional Katong dish made from minced fish mixed with spices and wrapped in banana leaves, then grilled over charcoal. The exterior gets crispy and smoky while the inside remains moist. Served as a side to pair with laksa or eaten on its own.
Tips from diners
Eat the otah while it's hot, unwrapping the banana leaf at the table. The smoky char is best enjoyed immediately after grilling. Pairs perfectly with the laksa broth for dipping.
The large bowl is generously portioned with more noodles, prawns, cockles, and additional toppings. Ideal for sharing between two people or for those with big appetites. The same rich broth as the small bowl, made fresh every hour.
Tips from diners
The large bowl serves two comfortably. Grab extra napkins — the coconut broth can splatter when you slurp the thick noodles.
The signature laksa upgraded with fresh flower clams that add a sweet, briny dimension to the broth. The clams open during cooking and release their juices into the coconut-spiced liquid, enriching the overall flavour profile. Available as an add-on to either bowl size.
Tips from diners
The flower clams add a subtle sweetness that balances the spice. This upgrade is worth it if you want a more premium experience. Ask for them fresh — older clams can taste metallic.
328 Katong Laksa is famous for defeating celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay in a 2013 Singtel Hawker Heroes challenge. The stall uses a secret blend of spices in its broth and prepares fresh laksa every hour, creating the thick white noodles and rich coconut-spiced sauce that defines Katong laksa. The name '328' sounds like 'prosperous' in Cantonese.
Arrive between 10am-12pm on weekdays for the shortest queues. Lunch rush peaks at 12-1pm and dinner at 6-7pm.
Cash and card both accepted. The stall is easy to spot on East Coast Road near the junction with Katong Park.
The restaurant has multiple branches across Singapore, but the East Coast Road location is the original and most famous, especially after Gordon Ramsay's 2013 visit.
