    No bad, but not especially good either. Trying to be Thai, but missing most key ingredients. Pad Thai noodles were all broken, not the iconic sweet-tamarind-fishsauce taste at all. No extras like tofu, mini-shrimp or pickled raddish. Lemon instead of lime, not the right type of onion and slightly burned taste. Mostly stuff only an experienced Thai eater would notice, but still. Fishcakes were pretty good and authentic. Ok value for money alltogether.

    지나다니면서 사람들이 꽤 많다고 생각했었는데 예상보다 맛있고 좋았어요 진한 태국의 맛입니다 추천드려요 When I used to live in East Perth, I saw here a bit crowded most of the times. Visited a few days ago and turned out to be surprisingly nice, much better than Asian eateries I have experienced recently. Ordered curry noodle and pork belly thing. The former was a bit sour though, was rich and enjoyable. The latter one super duper delicious personally but my friend said it was a bit sweeter than she wished. For me anyhow both were amazing and gonna make a second visit sooner or later. Wine BYO.

    Last month, my friends of mine asked me to go with them to see their lawyers at Hay Street. They want to include in their will that their remains should be cremated and ashes to be used for legacy tree🌲🎄 planting. We could smell the food when we walked pass this little and simple restaurant. The food was surprisingly delicious. Recommend crispy pork belly, peppercorn squid, pineapple chicken fried rice, pad thai and nam tok.

    This is one of the best Thai restaurants that I've ever been. If you don't know what to order, go for the crispy pork belly. It is well served. And if you add coconut rice you will level up your food. As a chef I would really recommend.

    I have been getting my pad thai from there for the past 3 years, this honestly one of the best pad thai I ever had in Perth. I always have a special order and they do their best to adjust to my dietary requirements. Happy customer 🙋🏼‍♀️

    Their menu has a lot of variety and a lot of dishes are customisable. Good place to get food if you're with picky eaters. I've tried about half their menu and everything so far was excellent. I've also noticed they've made minor changes over time to improve dishes or even just mix it up. IE Brother In-Law Salad has more seasoning, Massaman has smaller meat and vegetables.

    We ordered drunken noodle and stir fried pork belly. Fast service, decent portions size, good wok hey, however it is too salty for my liking, will return again to try other dishes.

    Myself and my wife have been going to wok and ladle for the last 4 years and have never been disappointed. The quality of food and the service is absolutely amazing. Food always tastes exactly the same, there are no ‘bad chef’ days, we love eating there. Had Thai food all over Perth and they make the best tasting, fresh Thai.

    Absolutely divine. We were overnighting at Mont Clare and needed a a quick takeaway for the 2 of us. Ordered red Thai chicken curry with extra veg and 2 spring rolls. It was superb. We will be back for sure.

    Had Nam Tok. It didn't hit the spot. Missing hint of lemon grass and no mint leafs....Carrots? Beef was on the though side/over cook with too much seasoning. It tasted almost like a Chinese dish. The 2nd picture on the right fully picture is what it should be... had this in Sydney,Brisbane and Melbourne.

    A little known place for tourists, but apparently an extremely popular spot for locals. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown, I stopped by since my hotel was only two short blocks away. The food was amazing and the service was fast, despite visiting at one of the busiest times. There is seating options for indoor or outdoor, which would be perfect on a nice day. If you choose to sit indoors, be prepared to be transported into another part of the world with delectable food paired with immersive decor. I'd highly recommend visiting here for a meal that surely won't disappoint!

    Had chili chicken and cashew chicken with rice. Servings sizes were medium but priced to match, so value was ok. The dish had just the right amount of sauce, spice and the flavour was good. Was busy, so obviously a popular place. I will definitely eat here again.

  • 5/5 Zhao Shan C. 6 years ago on Google • 196 reviews
    Love the food here! Staff are also very friendly and attentive, made my family and I feel so at home. Will definitely come back again and again. Give it a go if you haven't already.

  • 5/5 Momcilo V. 11 months ago on Google • 82 reviews
    This place is great. Quality food and very good prices. I had to go back to try again Pad Thai and it was delicious. They kept the great quality.

  • 5/5 Alvin T. 4 years ago on Google • 72 reviews
    Really value for money and great tasting food. Decided to have takeaway as the kids were tired but even after reaching home thr food tasted awesome. The fried chicken wings were crispy and the the pork belly as well. Rice and noodles were large serving and easily feed 2 adults if you have side dishes as well. For lunch you can choose the dinner serving price and option which means a larger serving. All stir fry items come with white rice. For the fried rice and noodles you can opt for chicken, beef or prawn. The prawns are fresh and large.

    Awesome and tasty food! Highly recommend the pad thai, the pineapple rice and the crispy pork belly (if available on the special menu)! Staff is also very friendly and efficient! A great place to eat at for quick dinners!

  • 4/5 kerry L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good Thai Restaurant in Perth possibly the best of value. The service is not very standard but it is expected by view of price point. Overall I will definitely dine here again

    Excellent service, delicious food and relaxed atmospsere.

  • 5/5 Ioana M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food there is very tasty and made fresh to order. The place is very busy at lunch time. If you go there try to be in at 12 and not at 1pm when the wait for food is nearly 20 min. But as much as i can say it is worth the wait. The best Thai eatery by far

  • 5/5 Matthew Y. 4 years ago on Google
    We had an enjoyable dinner here. It costs $45 including a serving of rice for 2 pax. The taste is good and we had a great time slurping the soup from the beef noodle and the curry from the beef green curry. Will come back here again when in the city.

    Pretty good and not expensive at all. But lot of onion. Lunch prices around $12/13, dinner $16-$18. Good choice of different Thai food. Loved the Masaman Curry. Fish cake was not delicious. Drunken noodle average.

    I ordered spring rolls, green chicken curry, pork belly stir fry and coconut rice. Fresh, great flavor, and as far as Perth goes the menu prices weren't too crazy. Highly reccommend this place.

  • 4/5 Andrea M. 1 year ago on Google
    Always struggle to find some place to eat around this area in the city but not anymore! I had some very delicious noodles and can't wait to try more of their menu!

  • 5/5 Marcel R. 1 year ago on Google
    Authentic Thai food at affordable prices, small place with seats outside and inside but still a limited space… not much of a wait time , the food is quickly and efficiently delivered to your table… nice decor tidy simple and clean… recommend the beef noodle soup and massaman beef

  • 5/5 Kellie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Thai food in East Perth! Tasty and generous portions! Can recommend chilli chicken, chicken basil rice and green chicken curry. Very impressed with the service, the food and the price. No disappointment here on any level. Will be back again and again.....

  • 5/5 Michael H. 1 year ago on Google
    Only been here once so far, but the meal was so good that I know I'll be back again. I judge a Thai place by how good their Pad Thai is, and this was very, very good. I've seen some people here have criticised the server - she's a wee bit blunt, but she's a sweetheart. And she's juggling a lot of plates - sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally. In these post-covid days, I think we should all just cut each other some slack.

    Amazing ❤️

  • 5/5 Jamie T. 3 years ago on Google
    This small, friendly restaurant produces quality, value for money food consistently. The manager, chefs & team all greet you when you arrive at the counter and 9 times out of 10 your order is already waiting for you it’s incredible. My family has been eating here since we moved to the area 2 years ago and would recommend Wok & Ladle to any Thai food lover that seeks tasty, quality, fresh food that is affordable on any budget. Our favourite dishes are the Pad Thai & the Fried Chicken with peanut sauce.

  • 5/5 Anu P. 3 years ago on Google
    With BWS just across the street, enjoy your time with your loved one in this small and happy family restaurant. The staff here have genuine smile and will welcome with whole heart, the lunch time and dinner time is quite busy so please don't mind reminding the staff on what you need, they can only do so much. The food is to die for, the owner itself should be crowned as king of hay Street as he brings his love to your place. Give it a try and it won't disappoint you. The dinner for two will on average comes at $45. They hav outside seating, What else to wish for. Will definitely go back every day if I could. Much love 😍
