There is definitely value in their meals as the servings here are in no way lacking, the food itself is satisfactory and the location being on the main road is convenient but hard to find parking.

A $8 lunch has hooked me when work sends me to Newtown, not too often but this place is a gem and should not be overlooked.

its confusing there are 2 thai la-ongs - the original and thai la ong 2. the menu is the same, but having eaten at both i prefer this one. The food seems slightly tastier, more colourful and a bit more generous. Excellent lunch deals at $7, you cant go wrong. Definitely back again for me.

This is the first thai restaurant that I tried in newtown 2 year ago. The lunch special already increase the price from 6.5 to 7. Staffs care generally friendly, but the waiting time could be long if you come in between 12:30 to 1:30.

The taste, portion and value is all above average, I came here regularly for the Pad see iew(noodle with black bean sauce) , pad khi mao(noodle with chili basil), Gai Yang BBQ (grill chicken) , Pad Kapao(rice with chili basil), Pad mad ma moang(rice with cashew nut).

Sometimes, they offer free dessert, the black sticky rice with coconut milk, very yummy. Recommend everyone to give it a try.

This place is amazing! $6.50 lunch time specials and it tastes amazing. Best place to go if you are studying at USYD and feeling hungry. Staff are really friendly and portions are huge. Definitely worth the walk

The best place for a student. Frequently eat here, because the food is so good, and for that price, you're basically beating McDonalds. This place is deceptively spacious, they don't have much room at the front of the shop, but the back opens up to a terrace? And it is a much nicer space. The service was lovely, very attentive, particularly when you consider how many people were in the restaurant (next to University of Sydney, during lunchtime, offering large-portioned $7 Thai. Imagine how many people that would be). Really great experiences every time I come here, this one and the one further down (Thai La-Ong 2, I assume they are owned by the same people) are great places to eat.

Approximate cost: $7

Approximate cost: $6.50

This was a favourite of mine when at uni...def caters to the uni budget..affordable and large portions...not going to win any chefs hats any time soon but you get more than you pay for in my eyes!

Approximate cost: $10

Cheap as chips lunch menu!

OK, the value is amazing. Plenty of food for your money.
For $6.50 you can choose from a list of about 20 dishes, with tofu, beef, chicken or pork with various sauces with rice noodles or flat noodles.

The quality is OK, it's not gourmet, but then that's not why you come here!

Service has been pretty shockingly slow on a couple of occasions, on others it's just fine. But you put up with these things for the value.

Approximate cost: $6.50

This place is amazing!
Very busy, very cheap ($6.50 for lunch!!!) and extremely fast.
Not a place for a lazy lunch - more a quick in & out.
Fair quality, great flavours. I personally think its too cheap for what you get - really it's a bargain.

Approximate cost: $6.50 - $20
