Why it's worth checking out
Kub Kao Mt Lawley is a Thai restaurant on Beaufort Street that draws on traditional Thai food and Western influences. The venue describes its cooking as a meeting point between Thai traditions and locally sourced ingredients, with an emphasis on authentic flavours and the balance of spicy, sweet and sour that is central to the cuisine. Its signature dishes are presented as carefully made expressions of Thai cooking, although the restaurant’s website does not name the full selection.
The dining experience is built around sharing. Kub Kao explains that its name reflects a Thai tradition of placing a variety of dishes on the table so people can enjoy different flavours and textures together. That makes it a natural option for families, groups of friends and anyone who prefers a communal meal rather than ordering just for themselves. The restaurant also promotes lunch specials from $17.90, giving Mount Lawley diners a more casual midday option alongside its broader dine-in menu.
The setting is described as cosy and inviting, with the restaurant located on Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley. The focus is on enjoying food and conversation in a welcoming space, rather than presenting the meal as a purely formal experience. The website recommends booking ahead because seating is limited, which is useful to keep in mind when organising a visit. For a quieter meal, a group gathering or a shared Thai dinner with family, planning ahead may be worthwhile.
Customer comments published on the site highlight the food’s flavour balance and the work of the chefs, with one reviewer specifically naming the red duck curry as a favourite. Other feedback describes the cooking as a reminder of Thailand and praises the combination of spicy, sweet and sour flavours. Kub Kao currently holds a 4.8 Google rating from 177 reviews, adding to its reputation among Perth diners. Overall, it suits people looking for Thai food in Mount Lawley with a sharing-focused approach, a cosy setting and an emphasis on traditional flavours interpreted through a contemporary dining experience.
