Thai restaurant in Auckland

“Delicious food, generous portion and a very very kind and sincere owner who serves with care, ensuring patrons are comfortable and relaxed in the restaurant. Had dinner there in June 2025 and for 1 hr, I watch the numerous customers who dined in or took out. Service is prompt and considerate. No wonder there were so many customers. Owner even recommended tourist spots and tips for good photos. Service left a lasting impression, hence I had to leave a positive note though was so busy after my last visit as a tourist to Pukekohe. Highly recommended!”

“Great cosy restaurant with warm people that welcomed us immediately. The food was mindblowingly good! We had pad thai & duck curry & we were so impressed with the flavours. Rangsan was very attentive, kind & always refilled our waters without being asked. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“A takeaway shop with some seatings available for dine in. Quite a good variety of Thai dishes on the menu”

“Ordered the pad thai, sweet and sour chicken, duck curry, crispy pork & shrimp wontons, and the curry puffs. Portion size was huge and all the food tasted amazing. Was really nice that the duck curry doesn't have bones you have to pick out and the curry puffs were really out of this world. Definitely will be coming back to try more things off the menu”

“Beautiful Thai food, a little pricey than other places but the food was worth the cost. Staff and service was pleasant and efficient. Lovely setting outside. Would love to return soon.”

“Celebrated my son’s 11th birthday there with a large group. Everyone loved their food and the staff went to so much effort to make our evening perfect. Service was 5 star and the food was delicious. Had sizzling beef sirloin, pad Thai, red duck curry, tom yum soup and satay chicken - everything was delicious! It was BYO and we took our own cake. The brought the cake out with ice cream! So lovely and so reasonable. Thank you”

“Restaurant is absolutely beautiful with a romantic feel to it. Perfect for date night. Delicious food and they come round and top up your rice! Service is very friendly. Recommend the Thai fried rice!”

“The sides are delicious, the fish cakes are a definite favorite, the lady who works there is an angel ,”

“Great pad thai at Ruang Thong probably my favourite in Auckland”

“A true hidden gem! I'll be honest, at first we thought it would be a small takeaway place but were pleasantly surprised. The space is quaint and intimate. The staff were lovely and everything tasted INCREDIBLE! The Moneybags were the best we've ever had. The picky pork was also delicious and the portion sizes were great especially for the price. 10/10 will be back again.”

“We had a delicious meal here. We started with a larb gai salad for entre, which was refreshing and spicy. Mussaman beef was just wonderful, and the pineapple fried rice just made it. We will be back next time we are in Auckland.”

“I came here for dinner and the food was delicious. For my main, I had the Tom Yum Soup with prawns. The soup was so flavourful and aromatic with an appropriate level of spiciness. The service was also quite good. The restaurant is a bit small so it can get a bit crowded and loud.”

“very nice dishes very tasty and big portions. I would go back if you need a meal in the way because its also fast. Also very nutritious has good veggies and even uses real ginger. Loved it. The atmosphere is simple nothing special, but you get nice and good portions.”

“Perfect place to eat Thai food. Tasta are great, and for me the portion is just right. They also have kids menu.”

“Great authentic tasting Thai food. Spicier than your usual neighborhood restaurant, closer to what we've had when we visited Thailand. A bit cramped for larger groups, but for 4 or less a great spot.”

“We found service just a little slow, but understandable as restaurant was full. Food was excellent. Even the starters were great, def made here not just frozen and reheated. Very happy with our experience here. Happy customers will definitely be back :)”

“I found this great little Thai spot in Otahuhu. They have delicious food, especially the curry puff, fish cake, and chicken satay. The Penang curry and Seafood Pad Thai were really tasty too. The place is really clean inside, and the staff is so friendly. I will definitely be going back to try something new next time.”

“The Pad Thai Chicken and Green Curry Chicken on Rice was absolutely divine! Tasted authentic with the right amount of flavour and spice. The staff were very friendly. We come here nearly every year to celebrate our anniversary. The only downside was that the takeaway spilled all over the bag and my car because it had a crack, but otherwise, was great!”

“I absolutely love Tanwa. It's the best Thai I've found, and it's right up there with Francesca's for the best takeaway meal in Pt Chev. Always so fresh and flavoursome. Hint: It's worth paying extra for the crispy pork.”

“All the food very yummy. This Thai restaurant is my favourite place now.All the food is tasty and in side restaurant very clean.the owner are very friendly.”

“Very tasty local Thai, had the Pad See Ew and Panag curry which would definitely recommend. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back.”

“Awesome the taste of Thai, staff very friendly and helpful with good service, yummy thai food.”

“This is the best Thai food we've had in all of New Zealand--and we've tried many Thai places. We've celebrated many birthdays here and other events, and the food never disappoints. The waitresses are attentive and always remember us. Just make sure you have a booking as they are popular.”

“Simply PERFECT !! We went there with my boyfriend and had the pad Thai and the Thai fried rice, everything was perfect from the service to the quality of the food. The server is very polite, respectful, the food tasted great honestly it’s a super place to have lunch !”

“I can’t believe there’s a Thai vegan restaurant with no onion and garlic… got my heart pumping, ordered som-tom salad and Tom Kha Gai soup with jasmine rice…. Yumo yumo”

“The most flavourful pad thai Ive ever had, with really generous portion and they DID NOT skimp on the prawns! The price is soo good and service is efficient and so welcoming. Would definitely come back.”

Thai Passion Beachlands runs with a simple, bistro‑style menu and a relaxed pace. Views add a quiet lift to the visit. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. A sensible spend for the spread. Plat...

“Very good place to eat. Food prices for mains around $30 with rice extra. 4 of us all had something different and we all enjoyed the food. Our young waitress was lovely. 2nd visit and will return.”

“Ordered green curry with prawns and chicken cashew nut stir fry. We were so impressed with the freshness and quantity of the prawns, chicken and vegetables. What a great meal! Very happy!!!”
