About Thai La Ong - Newtown

King Street regulars rely on this multi-level stalwart for massive, fast Thai comfort that barely dents the wallet. The room stays stripped back and functional—ground-floor tables turn over fast, while the upper floor easily swallows walk-in crowds of twenty or more. Midday brings budget-friendly lunch specials where proteins swap into yellow curries or wide rice noodles without fuss. In the evenings, plates land steaming from the kitchen, led by chilli basil chicken, pad kee mao, and fluffy fried rice marked by unmistakable wok hei.

  • Customizable Midday Specials: Generous lunchtime specials let diners choose their protein across curries and stir-fries, with a punch-card reward for regular visits.
  • Upper Floor Group Capacity: A spacious upper floor and balcony accommodate gatherings of 17 to 25 guests comfortably on short notice.
  • Dependable Wok Staples: Decades of consistent kitchen execution deliver fast-moving plates like chilli basil chicken, pad see ew, and wok-seared fried rice.

    A multi-level layout with private upstairs floor seating comfortably hosts parties of 17 or more without budget pressure.

    We visited on a Thursday night with a group of 17 and had the entire second floor to ourselves. While the ambiance wasn’t the most impressive, it was spacious enough to accommodate us comfortably.

    A large group of us turned up with an hour's notice, we had a room upstairs to ourselves, very basic surrounds but worth it for the lovely food, friendly staff and unbelievable price per head

    Great cheap lunch, super tasty meal, I got the chilli basil chicken, come with rice for $13!, many different choices on the lunch menu and you choose your protein.

  • Green Chicken Curry

    The broth was a standout; rich and not too sweet. Not as fragrant as some but well flavoured and very satisfying. Plenty of chicken, vegetables and rice too. Altogether one of the best green chicken curries I have enjoyed in Sydney
