Although it won’t be part of the 2022 Hellertown-Lower Saucon Winter Restaurant Week there will soon be another exciting addition to the downtown Hellertown dining scene with the opening in January of the area’s first Thai eatery: La Kang Thai Noodle Bar.
The new Thai restaurant will be located at 620 Main Street, in a building that housed the former Sagra Bistro.

Wintertime is traditionally a slow time for restaurateurs, which is one of the reasons why winter restaurant weeks–in addition to those typically held during the summer months–have become increasingly popular in recent years. Restrictions on dining during the first phases of the COVID pandemic had a negative economic impact on many food-related businesses; a troubling reality that has further encouraged community-minded officials to brainstorm new ways to support local restaurants. Also, over the past 18 months, many restaurant owners have adapted their menus to accommodate patrons who no longer feel comfortable dining inside by extending them to include takeout and/or delivery options.
Sponsors of this year’s Hellertown-Lower Saucon Winter Restaurant Week include:
Bronze Sponsors: Chefmeals & ChefStreet Kitchen, House & Land Real Estate, Lindsay O. Albert EA Tax & Accounting, Lost River Caverns
Supporting Sponsor: Quest Termite & Pest
Marketing Sponsor: B104
