Quick info
About Hakalok Restaurant
Hakalok Restaurant is a Malaysian restaurant at 7 Shoplands in Welwyn Garden City, serving a menu that pairs Malaysian dishes with Thai ones. Tofu is made in house. Set menus are written for tables of two or three people, so a small party can order a spread without choosing dish by dish. Among the curries and noodle dishes are beef and lamb rendang and laksa. Starters include dumplings, and the kitchen also sends out crispy duck pancakes. The restaurant is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Laksa is the dish diners name most, with two reviewers singling it out, one alongside the mee goreng and dumplings. Close behind are the rendang curries, with beef and lamb versions and extra heat for those who want it, plus the Malaysian chicken curry, sweet and sour chicken, crispy duck pancakes and homemade tofu. Reviewers repeatedly call the food authentic and delicious, and several praise the portions and set menus for how much food arrives for the money. The family running it is described as friendly and helpful, and a couple of reviewers say dishes can be adapted for allergies, including one parent whose son has a peanut allergy and who was reassured it was taken seriously. Criticism is mild but specific: the chicken satays were a bit dry, one beef dish was flavourless, and the starters were called standard. Diners who over-order say the kitchen packs leftovers up to take home, and one takeaway customer had a problem dish replaced and delivered promptly.

“First time eating at Hakalok and I was not disappointed. We dined in, restaurant was very quiet. We ordered the set menu for 2 people. Was very reasonably priced. I cannot believe how much food we had for the price. All the food was absolutely delicious. We took the leftovers home as it was far too good to waste. Will definitely be returning!”
