About Ladda's The Thai Takeaway

This tiny King Street takeaway serves fast, unpretentious Thai cooking with massive portions and zero fuss. Decades of steady routine keep regulars coming back—Aunty Ladda still works the pans behind the counter, turning out wok-tossed pad thai, tom yum fried rice, and hearty green curry. Seating is sparse with just a few basic tables, making it an easy pick for a quick midday stop or dinner on the go. Weekday lunch deals keep prices sharp at $13, dishing out heaping noodle plates alongside crisp spring rolls and slow-simmered beef massaman.

  • Value-Driven Lunch Specials: Hefty lunch specials priced at $13 offer fast, freshly cooked noodle stir-fries and curries until 3pm.
  • Decades of Kitchen Continuity: Aunty Ladda has helmed the woks for over twenty years, turning out steady home-style family recipes.
  • Speedy Takeaway-First Setup: A streamlined shop layout built for fast takeaway orders, backed by a handful of tables for quick sit-down feeds.

Practical guidance for ordering, timing, and seating at Ladda's

  • Target the Midday Lunch Specials

    Take advantage of the $13 lunch specials running Monday through Saturday until 3pm for huge, freshly prepared portions at exceptional value.

  • Prioritize Takeaway Over Dine-In

    The shop features only a few tables inside and is built primarily for takeout, so plan to take your meal away if arriving during peak dinner hours.

  • Request Extra Heat Upon Ordering

    If you want higher heat levels in your stir-fries and curries, ask the kitchen directly upon ordering as traditional spice levels can be customized on request.
