Plan your visitAbout Coolangatta Asian Cuisine
Coolangatta Asian Cuisine turns out unvarnished, wok-fired Thai street staples at counter-serve prices right along Griffith Street. Orders get punched in at the register while the kitchen works in plain sight—tossing noodles over high flames with unmistakable wok hei. Regulars lean into the larb and pad krapow, with kitchen staff willing to dial chili heat up to genuine, sweat-inducing Thai extremes. Seating is tight across a handful of indoor and footpath tables, accompanied by cold canned coconut juice and BYO bottles.
- Open Counter Wok Cooking: Order at the register and watch the kitchen stir-fry noodle plates and curries to order over roaring burners.
- Customizable Extreme Heat: Dishes can be tailored to authentic heat levels upon request, from sinus-clearing larb to fiery drunken noodles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How spicy is the food, and can the heat level be adjusted?
Diners can request dishes cooked to their preferred heat level, but reviewers emphasize that even medium can pack a serious punch, while extreme heat is exceptionally fiery. If you are sensitive to spice, asking for mild is recommended.
Are vegetarian and vegan options available?
Yes. Vegetarian food is served, and diners note that many menu items offer vegan adaptations, such as vegan pad thai and tofu larb.
What is the dining setup and seating capacity like?
The venue is compact with only a handful of indoor and outdoor tables. You order at the counter, food is prepared quickly in view of the kitchen, and takeout is widely used if seating fills up.
