Takeaway Lunch in Tanunda: How to Order Ahead (and Feed a Crew)
For a quick weekday takeaway lunch in Tanunda, Asian Tucker is at Shop 3, 1A Para Road, open Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm. Ring 0426 288 098 with your order and it'll be waiting, or order at the counter. Bánh mì rolls start at $10, sticky rice at $10, cold rolls are $8 a serve, and our meal deals are $17 and $20. Here is everything you need to know before you come.
When we're open
- Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm.
- Closed weekends and all public holidays. If you are not sure whether a day is a public holiday in South Australia, SafeWork SA keeps the official list.
That makes us a weekday lunch spot: handy for work crews, office lunches and anyone passing through Tanunda during the week.
How ordering works
We keep it simple. No apps, no online ordering: just call or come in.
- Ring ahead on 0426 288 098 and tell us what you're after.
- Pick it up from the counter at Shop 3, 1A Para Road. It'll be waiting.
- Or just walk in. Everything is made fresh to order, so allow a few minutes. It's worth it.
Ringing is the quickest way to get your lunch. Our website enquiry form is great for catering and questions, but it isn't for ordering today's lunch.

Getting here
You'll find us at Shop 3, 1A Para Road, Tanunda SA 5352. We're about five minutes from Nuriootpa, ten from Angaston, fifteen from Lyndoch, and worth the drive from Gawler. Get directions in Google Maps.
You might remember us from the Barossa Motor Lodge on Murray Street. These days we're on Para Road, with the same owners, Shandy and Lisa. If an old listing still shows Murray Street, it's out of date.
Feeding a work crew, a meeting or an event
We do catering, functions and events too, and our catering van does functions and events. If you're ordering lunch for a team or planning something bigger, the easiest way is to ring 0426 288 098. You can also send us the details through the enquiry form: your name, a phone number or email, and a line about the date, time, rough numbers and any dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten free or allergies). Shandy or Lisa will get back to you.
Dietary needs
There are vegetarian options right across the menu: rolls, salad bowls, sticky rice and cold rolls. Bánh mì rolls are wheat bread, so they aren't gluten free; rice-based dishes may suit better, but toppings and sauces vary, so phone us first if you need gluten free or have an allergy.
