Taste
My prawn laksa ($7) was choked full of prawns! Granted the prawns were of the small school, frozen variety, but I think I ate a whole school of them in my bowl! There were also a fairly large amount of rice noodles. The other ingredients, bean sprouts and 2 fried tofu, were more for garnish I think...Now, we all know the soup base make or break a laksa, so here's the verdict. Their soup is not too hot or too coconuty, but there's no special "wow" factor, unlike their prawn mee ($7.40) which has the best tasting soup base I've had.

Look
Situated on the Pitt St level of the Imperial Arcade, a shopping centre that's past its use-by date. This is significant because you are actually sitting in the middle of the corridor. You go there for the food and not the decor. This place is very popular. You have to fight for a table. You order and pay at the counter, then they give you one of those raffle tickets. Then they bring out your food to you by calling your number very loudly. The bowls are plastic, the chopstick old, but the laksa looks orange enough!

C-factor
Pretty cheap for Pitt St Mall. Can't compare with Chinatown or somewhere like Hunter Arcade.
