Uncle Lai's Malaysian Cuisine

Friendly staff.

Called in on a Saturday morning feeling really hungry and was met by a nice lady who talked me through their menu and helped me decide what to have. I was really surprised how nice and fresh the food was and extremely tasty. The noodles was just what I was looking for. Just the right amount of spice and flavour :) Will definitely call in again!

This great family restaurant has a great atmosphere and family vibe, bringing the amazing tastes of Malaysia to Mt. Gravatt. The CKT is the best I’ve ever had - including my travels through Asia. All their dishes have a vegetarian and vegan option, so there’s no need for our plant-based friends to miss out. Great value for money and the crew make you feel like you’re at home with the family.

Best authentic Asian food in Brisbane for sure. I haven't been home in almost a year, the food taste just like back home it is super good. Thanks so much! Will definitely come back.

Authentic Malaysian food with great customer service and decent prices. The chef and wife are from my hometown in Malaysia so I can say with confidence - the best home cooked Malaysian food from a family run restaurant.

Some people say Uncle Lai's CKT (char kuey teow) is the best in town... it should at least be very good given it's Uncle Lai's signature dish, using a recipe passed down through the generations of the Lai family. It features smokey wok-fried flat rice noodles, Chinese sausage, prawn, chicken slices, fishcake, egg, chives, beansprouts, and topped off with pork crackling bits. It's priced at $12.90 for the standard version (with chicken), or you can pay $2/3 extra for the beef/seafood versions. There's also a variation called Aunty Lai's CKT, which is a big plate (good for 2 people) of Uncle Lai's CKT with added seafood for $28. This is what we went with. As all wok items are individually fried there can often be a wait - we were told 30 minutes upon arrival, and this was pretty spot on. The dish certainly smelt enticing when it hit the table, with the unmistakable aroma of the smokey wok hei. The noodles portion was good though I thought there'd be more than just 2 prawns and 2 mussels for the main seafood elements. We also has a teh tarik, $7.50. Honestly thought it'd come in a stein at that price but no, just a regular single-use coffee cup. Overall it was a satisfying feed in flavour and I'd say it's worth trying if you haven't been before, or revisiting if (like me) it's been a few years since the last visit. Note that it's a pretty small shop with limited seating, so reservations are highly recommended.

Food is awesome here! Auntie Lai is very hospitable and friendly! I’d say the most authentic Malaysian food on this side of town!! Must come!!!

Very delicious and fresh food! The service is amazing and the staff are very nice and friendly. The restaurant is very clean and presented nicely. Will definitely come back again very soon.

Ckt was brilliant as usual, little bits of pork lard was too good. Always the go to place when missing char kuey teow.

Small Malaysian style place. The CKT is really good. Everything else bit average
