The Best Spots for Takeout Food in Perth for Flavor Lovers Who Hate Waiting
Who says takeout can’t compete with fine dining? Perth’s top takeaway spots are here to prove you wrong.
The best examples are the haunts we’ve ordered from lately. Restaurants like Viet Hoa and Alfred’s Pizzeria, respectively served us convenient, authentic, and drool-worthy meals, from herb-kissed pho tai to provolone-packed pizzas.
They’re not alone in this delicious game. Perth has a wealth of choices, and the list below showcases our personal picks!
Viet Hoa
From viethoaperth
Address: 1/349 William St
Contact Details: (08) 9328 2127
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Thu – 10 am to 9 pm
- Fri to Sat – 10 am to 10 pm
- Sun – 10 am to 9 pm
With over 30 authentic Vietnamese dishes on their takeaway menu, Viet Hoa ensures you’ll never have to settle for boring takeout again.
Naturally, you’d want to kick off with their crispy fried spring rolls, beef satay sticks, or boneless stuffed wings. These mouthwatering starters burst with the right level of umami and crispiness that will please the palate, not overpower it.
For the mains, we suggest the tôm hầm dừa, a bowl of king prawns cooked and enveloped in creamy coconut that’s jazzed up by a tangy tamarind sauce. If seafood isn’t on your radar, though, opt for the pork balls or Scotch filet with intense Vietnamese spices.
Tip: Viet Hoa likes updating their patrons, whether it’s news about discounts or new business hours. Take advantage of this info!
Chop Chop BBQ
From chopchopbbq
Address: 116 Barrack St
Contact Details: 0433 373 163
Operating Hours: Daily – 11 am to 8 pm
Most of our teammates agree that Chop Chop BBQ’s small bites are the epitome of takeout perfection—easy to devour, light on the wallet, and full of flavor.
Our team usually gets the fried pork wontons, chicken wings, and sweet-chili fish balls, especially during casual get-togethers powered by beer. These pop with sharp and salty essences, courtesy of Asian spices and herbs.
But when the hunger pangs really hit, we often go with the soy sauce-flavored wonton noodles. The honey rice paired with sweet and savory chicken strips is also a satisfying choice.

S & T Thai Gourmet Cafe
From perthsbeststreetfood and st_thaicafe
Address: 347 William St
Contact Details: (08) 9328 8877
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Thu – 11 am to 2:30 pm, 4 pm to 8 pm
- Fri – 11 am to 2:30 pm, 4 pm to 8:45 pm
- Sat: 4 pm to 8:45 pm
- Sun – 11 am to 3:30 pm
If the random takeout Thai food at your friend’s place tastes like a slice of Bangkok or Pattaya, there’s a good chance S & T Thai Gourmet Cafe cooked it.
To no one’s surprise, pad thai is the bestseller of this Thai restaurant. Their take on the GOAT of Thai cuisine includes chewy stir-fried noodles and a tangy, nutty, and slightly fiery sauce crowned with shrimp and tofu.
Next on the must-devour list is the pad bai gra prow, which is a bowl of minced meat that satisfies with meaty and garlicky flavors. Pairing this with fried jasmine rice is a recipe for foodie happiness.
Tip: Consider ordering around lunchtime if you’re after a special menu. The selection differs daily, so give them a call or leave a message to know what they’re cooking.
Took Bae Kee Restaurant
From pudgylkpudding
Address: 127 Barrack St
Contact Details: 0415 884 557
Operating Hours: Wed to Sun – 11:30 am to 8 pm
If you’re looking for a Korean restaurant offering takeout, Took Bae Kee is the boss—especially for foodies who can handle the resto’s heat.
The chart-topper is spicy tofu soup, a bowl of beef broth that does wonders during colder months. Its kick is balanced by the briny and sweet depth of seafood like mussels, squid, and shrimp.
You also can’t go wrong with their soy sauce beef. Compared to the previous dish, this isn’t as spicy, but its meaty, savory, and delicately sweet undertones still linger deliciously.
Tip: Remember that the definition of spicy here is based on Korean tastes, which can be quite intense. If you’re not accustomed to that level of heat, it’s best to adjust your order accordingly.
Govinda’s Hare Krishna Restaurant
From govindas.perth
Address: 194 William St, Northbridge
Contact Details: (08) 9227 1684
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Sat – 11:30 am to 7 pm
- Sun – 11:30 am to 5 pm
Govinda’s Hare Krishna Restaurant makes healthy takeout a no-brainer. As a bonus, their plates won’t charge you a fortune.
Their menu has some of Perth’s most affordable veggo bites, with dishes like fresh salad, curry, dhal, and samosas loaded with greens.
Our favorite, though, is their deep-fried fritters, as they pack a savory punch despite only using vegetables. These fritters also complement the halva with custard, a semolina treat that softens the former dish’s strong essence.
Tip: The prices may differ depending on the time you order. Usually, early afternoons have cheaper bites.
Grand Lane Fish House
From grandlanefishhouse
Address: 135 Barrack St
Contact Details: (08) 6267 0700
Operating Hours:
- Tue to Thu – 11 am to 7:30 pm
- Fri to Sat – 11 am to 8:30 pm
- Sun – 11 am to 7:30 pm
Fans of fish and chips should have Grand Lane Fish House on speed dial. They’re a Perth favorite for crispy, golden, and mouthwatering reasons.
What to order depends on your preference, but it’s normally a toss-up between the less fatty white snapper and full-flavored battered barramundi. The traditionally English-style cod is also a great pick, capturing taste buds with its smoky profile and light batter.
On the flip side, foodies looking for something different should go with their fish tacos. This order has battered fish, sriracha, homemade slaw, and charred sweet corn.
Tip: Grand Lane Fish House is one of the busiest lunchtime spots in Perth. Avoid ordering during this period if you don’t have the patience to wait.
Betty’s Burgers
From bettys_burgers
Address: Tenancy T08, Forrest Chase Shopping Center, 200 Murray St
Contact Details: (08) 9325 4168
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Thu – 11 am to 8:30 pm
- Fri to Sat – 11:30 am to 9:30 pm
- Sun – 10:30 am to 8:30 pm
The moment Betty’s Burgers swung open its doors, we all knew our diets were in serious trouble. Why? Their no-frills burgers are anything but basic in flavor.
For example, the Betty’s Classic flexes A-grade Angus beef, veggies, cheese, and their secret sauce. Sure, the combination isn’t groundbreaking, but the quality of the ingredients can compete with more lux burger spots.
They’re also not afraid to break norms, as evidenced by their Bare Betty. This burger ditches the bun for a lettuce wrap while maintaining the same top-shelf meat, greens, and sauce.

Istanbul Kitchen
From istanbul_kitchen_north_perth
Address: 394 Fitzgerald St, North Perth
Contact Details: (08) 9227 0121
Operating Hours: Mon, Wed to Sun – 11 am to 10 pm
We often yearn for kebabs, and Istanbul Kitchen played a big role in such chronic cravings.
Known as one of the authentic local haunts around, this down-to-earth spot always sends us into seventh heaven with its chicken, lamb, and falafel roll kebabs.
The best part is they also roll well-spiced pizzas. Just this July, we tried their Lahmacun, a gamey and hearty option with minced lamb, mozzarella, and vegetables.
Tip: New customers can enjoy free delivery by placing an order through Istanbul Kitchen’s UberEats page!
Street Eats Eatery
From streeteats_eatery

- Tue – 12 pm to 9 pm
- Wed to Thu – 12 pm to 10 pm
- Fri to Sat – 11:30 am to 12 am
- Sun – 12 pm to 9 pm
Big portions and even bigger flavors are Street Eats Eatery’s bread and butter.
Their starters alone could easily feed a group of 2 to 3. The fan favorites are chicken dumplings and roast duck bao buns, both filled to the brim with umami flavors.
On top of that, their burgers are practically a feast. The perfect example is The Grounded Cow, a heavyweight snack piled high with Angus beef patties, American cheese, grilled bacon, and all the fixings to fill you from brekkie to dinner.
Tip: Visit during events like Taco Tuesdays and Wings Wednesdays for special menus and more affordable prices.
Angel Falls Grill
From angelfallsgrill

Contact Details: (08) 9468 7177

- Fri – 11:30 am to 2 pm, 4:30 pm to 9:15 pm
- Sat – 12 pm to 9:15 pm
- Sun – 12 pm to 8 pm
Those who haven’t enjoyed Venezuelan takeout from Angel Falls Grill are missing out big time. Savory, spiced, and hearty, the meals here might make you forget you’re in Perth, not Caracas.
If you’re confused about what to order, though, give the Angel Falls Cachapa a try. This is a tasty, spicy corn pancake, and this one comes with either tender hickory smoked steak strips or grilled free-range chicken tenders—both drizzled with chili sauce.
Going small can be a smart choice here, too, as their empanadas and corn croquettes are sure to hit the spot. Add dips like aioli or chimichurri, and you’re all set for a Venezuelan mini feast.
Tip: If you ever fall in love with their food, try hiring Angel Falls Grill as your next caterer.
Alfred’s Pizzeria
Address: 37 Barrack St
Operating Hours: Daily – 3 pm to 12 am
We can’t finish this list without mentioning one of our go-to pizza takeout spots, Alfred’s Pizzeria. Every slice here is made fresh to order and uses the finest tomatoes and cheese.
If we had to pick a favorite, it would be Home Alone. This hit features farm-fresh cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, making for a deliciously straightforward combo.
Betty Rizzo comes in close. With buttered potatoes, prosciutto, garlic, and parsley, this one-of-a-kind variant had us ordering extra boxes.
Tip: Certain pizzas are available for a limited time only. Be sure to grab them before they’re gone by checking their Instagram for updates!
Simple Italian Cucina Pizzeria Perth City
From simple.italian
Address: 413 Murray St
Contact Details: (08) 9481 7999
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Thu – 6 am to 10 pm
- Fri to Sat – 6 am to 10:30 pm
- Sun – 8 am to 10 pm
Yes, yes, we get it—the name “Simple Italian Cucina Pizzeria” suggests that pizza takes the crown here. However, we firmly believe their breakfast takeout selection also deserves the spotlight.
Why? Well, you have to try their balsamic-glazed bruschetta with creamy Stracciatella, avo, and cherry tomatoes to understand. Their ham and cheese croissant might work, too.
For a sweet treat, don’t miss the Nutella waffle or Biscoff croissant. And make sure to wash them all down with their refreshing mango and wellness smoothies!
Tip: If the takeout hit the spot, why not book this resto as your next party venue?

Contact Details: (08) 6168 7771
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Fri – 7 am to 10:30 pm
- Sat to Sun – 8 am to 10:30 pm
Ending with a bang, we have Petition, the restaurant you should call for modern Australian takeout that satisfies your taste buds and fills your belly.
Keep in mind, though, that their menu changes with the seasons, but you can always count on some popular picks like charred sourdough, banana bread, and ricotta doughnuts.
Furthermore, savory and hearty indulgences like smoked beef and huevos rancheros are also typically served year-round. Black coffee, tea, and pressed juices complete these plates.
