Very delicious and good portion size. Really enjoyed the Red Curry and Tom Kha. Will be returning again :)
Best Thai in Auckland Try Chef Special Duck!!!! Best kept secret It has been consistently excellent for 10 years I have been regularly dining in with friends after our swims at GI Pool Complex nearby. The owner Lena is a busy lady- cooking and running the restaurant- has very high standards- sometimes she is a bit flustered and can be a bit short- but always very accommodating and friendly. '-) Great menu and top quality food. '-))) YUM
If I could give it half a star, I would. The food is TERRIBLE, mushy boiled veges, no crunch. Worst Thai I’ve had to be honest. The flavours were bland, all I could taste is soy, none of those zesty refreshing flavours Thai is known for. And I wouldn’t have even left a review if it wasn’t for the absolutely insane behaviour from the lady who (manages?) there. Angry outbursts out of the blue from the moment we sat down to order. Read the other reviews before you dine here…
I came here after a recommendation that this was the best Thai takeaway. Emphasis on takeaway. To the hostess that was there on Friday Nov 25th, find a new job that is NOT in hospitality. There are openings at the women’s prison where your skills would be better put to use. To be clear the food was pretty good. But I haven’t been treated like pond scum in a while. I went there with my six year old daughter and wife after a school event. We were the only people eating in the restaurant. Literally no one else there. It was 5 pm. First customer of the day. We were there to feed my daughter and my wife an I had a late lunch. We ordered the fried rice, money bags, two glasses of wine, and a ginger beer. Not the biggest bill, but $56 they were not going to get otherwise. The woman came over to repeatedly ask us if we wanted more food and would give a grunt when we said we were not going to order more. When I asked for a take away container since my daughter didn’t finish, instead of giving us a takeaway container right next to her, she went into the back and got a dirty broken container to give to us. I hope saving $0.15 on a clean container was worth the negative review. Honestly, I feel bad for this woman. She’s human and very miserable at her job. She should not be in hospitality. I feel bad for the other staff there too. We could hear her putting the young staff down. It’s sad that the chef is putting out a good product only to have that work sabotaged by the front of the house staff. My wife and I had eaten a late lunch
The taste and quality, including presentation is very good. Occasionally an offnight, it's not the norm in all the years. we have had 2 mixups. Their policy the customers are always right
We dined in. Great food, lovely friendly service and they were super-helpful when I spilled my drink all over myself, duh!
Horrible customer service. I read the takeaway menu listed on the window outside. I walk in and the lady rudely yells at me saying "Takeaway?! Takeaway?! You read the takeaway menu outside so takeaway?!" Other customers laugh at this lady and yell "Table for two!". My husband and I look at each other in confusion. I say to the lady "What time do you close?" thinking that they might be closing soon and that might explain why she's being so impatient and wants us to order takeaway. She ignores my question and carries on to say "Takeaway!!?". My husband interrupts her and says "uhh... table for two please?". She rolls her eyes, and rushes us to a table and says "Here, table for two. Dine in menu is different price to takeaway menu and you were looking at the takeaway menu! Look at the dine in menu!". My husband and I chose the takeaway option just so we didn't have to interact with the service lady because she made us feel so uncomfortable. I have worked in hospo for 5+ years and have never come across such terrible customer service. I am never going back there and will never recommend it to other people.
The service was shocking. Service with no friendly greeting but instead greeted by a loud "TAKEWAY?! TAKEAWAY?!". She was very rude and made us feel very unwelcome without us even saying a word. Never going back. Even other customers that finished their meals said to me "The service is shocking." The food was nice but the service was horrible.
The best food we tried in New Zealand, very friendly staff and fast service, would definitely recommend!!!!
