Thai restaurant in Auckland

“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!!!”

“We were looking for a Thai close to where we are, and we found this place. The food was very nice, authentic, flavourful, and fresh. They have a comprehensive selection of traditional Thai food. The atmosphere was good and the service friendly.”

“The service was great, a little bit hard to understand the specials, but our waitress was pleasant and gave me some recommendations. The food was delicious and a good portion, price was average to good. I would definitely go back to try more from the menu.”

“BEST PAD THAI IN THE CITY! Joy Bong had recently moved to a more intimate location and some how the food is even better! Not only is it the best husband and wife combo in the city who have owned and operated this legendary business for 10+ years they will always make you feel like family. Service 10/10 and food is the best Thai you will find in Auckland, and trust me I eat out a lot. Jess, Kakapo Business Sales”

“Very well presented Thai food, always delicious.”

“I will let the photo do the talk! ❤️ The presentation is stunning! The taste is irresistible! We love the food here, and we can be difficult customers when it come to hunting good food! They are well deserve the compliment!”

“My spicy seafood noodles was very tasty with large juicy prawns, squid & scallops. Priced a bit higher than street food/takeaway joints, it’s to be enjoyed seated dining inside the cosy traditional thai decor… Reminds me of how Thai restaurants used to feel… nowadays trendy canteen vibe is more common! Service is always casual & warm family style.”

“The Tom Kha soup was beautiful, very authentic however the Thai Basil stirfry let them down, it wasn’t authentic Thai Flavours plus they used frozen beans which isn’t ideal. Really lovely service, friendly and helpful staff. Nice place for a quick reasonable meal.”

“I love this place soooo much! Anytime been in Auckland always come here for Thai food! and especially the dessert! always yummmy!”

“A little hidden gem. Wasn't sure what to get, so it was recommended that the Tom Yum Soup with seafood was good by the friendly staff. The food came out quick and did not disappoint. Will definitely be back.”

“Glad we acted on the recommended suggestion to try out the truly authentic flavours, friendly service and traditional setting and welcoming ambience that this hidden gem has on offer, neatly tucked off the road from plain sight and true to their name. Experience the discovery of the delightful, delicate lighting, traditional displays and decor, as your arrival meanders through an outdoor / indoor maze-like garden-path through the restaurant into various pockets of dinning location options; either completely under the open sky or under the “rustic” roofing. All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, service is prompt, courteous and on point. The auroras that drift through the open air will tantalise and explode on your senses, but, guaranteed each mouthful will excite your tastebuds as you enjoy each spoonful, till the very end. We were not disappointed and will most definitely be making a return on our next trip to Ōtāhuhu.”

“I eat here often. You’ve got to try the lollipop chicken starter. It’s crispy and delicious. I love the beef mussaman curry. any stir fry’s and pad Thai noodles are fresh and yum. Real value for money.”

“Menulog didn't send a driver , owner went above and beyond to arrange another driver. She madesure we still got our dinner despite the mixup of menulog. Pad Thai and curry was good too.”

“This was the first time i have been here. I had the green curry and pad thai, it was absolutely delicious , both full of flavour and lots of chicken. The lady serving im guessing the owner was very friendly and definitely had me leaving thinking you now have a new customer I can't speak more highly of this place, highly recommend”

“Got take aways for six people. Yummy food with a great range of spice levels. Was ready on time and a great temperature. Will definitely be getting taken away again!”

“I've been coming here for years. Easily the best Thai food I've had in NZ! Personally I love the stir fried fresh ginger with tofu and I ask for medium spicy. I could eat it every night. Yum!”

“Golden Silk Thai is a special place where very good food can be found. I am not unfamiliar with Golden Silk as the family have been getting take aways there for years. They provide a very authentic menu and is well worth spending time in the restaurant too as some of the best dishes are only served in the restaurant. Highly recommended”

“Had a great night, Food was amazing, and great service, crispy Squid tentacles were delicious with a chillie sauce and the seafood Ka ta was also delicious. Will be back more often. Gigi and staff thank you for the great food.”

“First time trying this place after moving into the area. Ordered a hot red duck curry takeaway. Took about 15 minutes. It was so good! Lots of vegetables, a whole breast cut up on top and actually spicy! Came with rice so very well priced for $24, especially for the duck serving. Woman on counter super friendly. Will be back!”

“Came here with my partner and ordered chicken pad Thai and beef pad Khee Mao (drunken noodles). Recommended if you want authentic Thai food. One of the best in Auckland!”

“Lovely, warm and friendly staff. The food is absolutely great and always cooked on time. The Pad Thai is the best”

“The food is very good and well prepared, with portion sizes are satisfying. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming, making the overall dining experience very enjoyable.”

“Fantastic Thai restaurant we stumbled upon as we were early for an event. The servings were generous, with perhaps a little too much meat (or so my fiance thought, though I thought it was perfect). They actually listened to us when we asked for it to be hot, as too often I get served "European hot" which is mild at best. The prices were also very low. Despite being 20 minutes drive from home, this will likely now be our go to place for Thai.”

“Great authentic Thai food, and friendly staff. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an awesome dining experience!”

“Me and my colleagues had a birthday dinner here, and it was such a lovely evening. The food was amazing and authentic Thai surely, I want to confirm it as a Thai person. The place was nice and crowded, so I’d definitely recommend you to book a reservation in advance if you don’t wanna wait a long time for the table. The staffs were nice and understood that we did truly want Thai food in a Thai version for Thai people, not like some restaurants where they water down and make it too sweet to satisfy those who are not Thai and cannot handle the spicy food.”

“Had the Tom Kha, Satay Chicken and Chicken cashew nut stirfry. The place was pretty busy, but that didn't stop the chefs from speedily producing, very filling, delicious meals. I was extremely impressed by the service.”

“Amazing Thai food, fun modern atmosphere. We loved the pad Thai - great consistency and flavor. Not too dry or too saucy. Garlic fried w/ ginger rice was delicious, had great chili sauce to go with it. We really really loved the mango and sticky rice and roti w/ pandan”
