About Kub Kao Mt Lawley

Uncompromising Thai heat meets neighborhood charm at Kub Kao Mt Lawley, where traditional wok craft takes center stage on Beaufort Street. The dining room holds about 30 seats across simple two-tops, keeping the room relaxed and conversation easy. Regulars drop in with their own bottles—the dining room is strictly BYO—to pair crisp white wine against fragrant plates of pad kra pao with deep-fried eggs and roasted duck red curry simmered with lychee and pineapple. Rich Massaman beef and salt-and-pepper roasted pork belly round out a menu that stays truthful to traditional chili punch, straight through to sweet pours of iced Thai milk tea.

  • BYO Dining: The dining room operates as an unlicensed space, letting diners bring their own beer or wine to pair with spicy plates.
  • Uncompromising Thai Spice: Curries and wok stir-fries preserve traditional heat, delivering genuine chili spice and deep-fried eggs over fragrant rice.
  • Intimate 30-Seat Room: About thirty seats fill the Beaufort Street dining room, making a quick booking smart for dinner.

  • Richly Layered Traditional Curries

    Curries and specialties like red curry roast duck and massaman achieve rich depth through fragrant coconut, balanced aromatics, and vibrant traditional profiles.

    The Massaman Curry was rich, creamy and packed with coconut flavour.

  • Bring Your Own Wine Pairing

    Operating under an unlicensed BYO policy lets guests bring their favorite wine or beer without incurring marked-up beverage prices.

    The restaurant is BYO, so we brought our own bottle of wine, which paired perfectly with the meal.
