Thai restaurants in Auckland

“It was my first time at a vegan restaurant but I did enjoy my meal. We left it up to the chef and chose the big feast option which is $59pp (minimum 2 people) and a wine pairing for 1 person $35. I was so stuffed I had to go for a walk afterwards.”

“Ordered the laska. Thick and creamy, good portion size. Very simple taste that could use some more complexity, but it was cheap and the shop is probably the best out of the given selection on the floor. Great service too. Would recommend.”

“This restaurant was excellent. My wife and I came here on a rainy Thursday evening after work, it had been on my watchlist for a while. We didn’t have a reservation, but luckily we were able to get a good table. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered two of their signature dishes: the pineapple prawn red curry and the prawn and chicken Pad Thai. The red curry was served inside a whole pineapple, which was both impressive and delicious. It had big, juicy prawns and the balance of spicy curry and sweet pineapple was perfect, definitely well deserved as a signature dish. The Pad Thai was also great, flavourful and satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, with just the right level of noise to feel lively but not overwhelming. Parking was a bit tricky since the shared lot behind the restaurant is narrow and limited, but it was worth the effort. Highly recommend this place, we absolutely loved it!”

“Really great food. Satay Tofu and Boa Burger were delicious. Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff. So delicious”

“I went to many Thai food places in Auckland. And this is by far my first favourite. Yummy authentic Thai food at affordable price. Kind people. I love the Kao Pad (Thai fried rice) so much. Would 100% recommend.”

“We got takeaways the first time the other night. The food was great and the service lovely. Love that they have an open kitchen. Also awesome to see their non plastic packaging!!”

“Fresh, tasty food at a reasonable price. I had a mixed vegetable stirfry with chicken, which was succulent and tender. Helpful service, especially regarding my requirement to be gluten free (the Hungry Time used gf soy sauce in my stirfry). The place was clean and I appreciated the fact that the music was nice and quiet in the background, but it's not really the kind of place you go to for its decor - it's all about the food.”

“Where have I been living? Under rock? Because first time trying this place yesterday and oh my taste buds were flavourful!! 100% the best eat in/ dine out place in papakura”

“Never noticed this place before however when walking past, the smell of delicious food pulled us in. The food was fantastic, we had Chicken Green Curry, Thai Style Gao Pad Chicken and one other dish my partner can’t remember the name of. All were so good! The guy serving us had good chat and made dinner really enjoyable. All washed down with a Chang beer made for the perfect dinner. Well priced. Heaps of locals picking up takeaways show it’s really popular so will definitely be back.”

“Great new little Vietnamese place recently opened.. Food and taste was awesome and the pricing very good... Staff were friendly and we will be back again. Very happy to have a local Vietnamese restaurant close by. They are not on uber eats yet.”

“Our first visit to A'ruma Malaysian Long Bay. Delicious Malaysian food especially their pie tee and otak-otak. Friendly services, a lovely restaurant to spend time with family and friends.”

“Loved this place… such a hidden gem , great range of cocktails and Asian fusion food is absolutely gorgeous. Lovely and friendly staff great view if you choose the right table. Anyone wanna enjoy water views with great food and drinks should definitely come here.”

“The taste of foods was just amazing. Stunningly balanced flavours. Perfectly cooked. Descent sized portions. We had to wait a bit longer than what we were expecting to get our order ready in a busy Saturday night but it was worth it. Music playback was not a perfect match with the ambient but still okay. Friendly staff. Definitely will come back.”

“This is a nice and delicious Thai restaurant. I tried the slow cook beef cheeks and it was fantastic. A bit spicy but nothing I could handle (I’m Mexican). The side of Jazmin rice was very good and helped with the spiciness. They have Tuatara and Tiger beer on tap.”

“We had a delightful dinner at Siamese Doll recently. The flavours were amazing, portions were generous, the service was attentive without being overbearing. We had 2 entrees, 4 mains and a round of drinks for $60 a head, which I thought was great value. Great to see a busy restaurant on a Wednesday night! They also dealt with my daughter’s nut allergy seriously and respectfully. We’ll definitely be back again soon!”

“Loved our time at Kiss Kiss Eatery! Such a fun and chill place to eat — the vibe is awesome and the food was so good! Everything we ordered was full of flavour and came out fresh and fast. Big shout-out to Lorenzo Bonsay, Jr, the Manager on Duty — super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Really appreciate the great service! Definitely recommend Kiss Kiss Eatery if you're looking for good food, good vibes, and amazing staff.”

“"Rainy days are simply perfect with a plate of sizzling stir-fried noodles and the sautéed preserved pork slice with hot chilli pepper! The combination is absolutely heavenly - the chewy noodles soak up all the delicious flavors, while the savory cured meats add that special umami kick. Every bite warms you up from the inside out, making it the ultimate comfort food for gloomy weather. 10/10 would recommend this amazing pairing to chase away the rainy day blues!"”

“The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, polite, and professional, making us feel right at home. Thank you!”

“I like to revise my review. Visited the restaurant two years later, I like to say the owner has definitely put effort into the restaurant. They focused on the complaint I have made. It's now a place I like to take my kids in, a place I m not afraid to invite my family. A place I highly recommend. The following were the review two years ago::::::The noodle soup base was good, but the chicken and crab stick on it was off last time I visited. This time they stir fried the chicken so it's tender, but mask the soup base. Soup because salty and greasy. What a shame.”

“Very yummy and fresh vegan tofu noodles. Lots of flavour and portion was generous.”

“Cheap prices do not match the quality of the food, it’s so much better than expected. Highly recommend if you need a quick dinner option. Only tried the Thai side of things recommend the number 7.”

“Nice little Thai restaurant, has dinner here the first time and ordered plenty of dishes amount 3 adults and 2 kids. Service was really good and the food was very nice, the Red Thai curry is great with Rice hard to find a park during evening.”

“LOVE this place!! Food is always so freshly made and great flavours. Definitely takes me back to Thailand! If you’re a fan of fresh seafood, then you need to try the raw prawn salad. Love their curry puffs and money bags, super crunchy and comes with a really good sauce. Their sizzling plate is also amazing with some coconut rice. Service here is always so friendly, totally recommend!”

“I choose this venue for celebrating special occasions, and my recent visit with family reaffirmed its excellence. The service was outstanding. the waitresses knew exactly what my parents preferred and were exceptionally friendly. The cuisine, highlighted by dishes like the red curry and both roasted and steamed snapper, was superb. The flamed chicken provided an exciting experience that never grew dull, and its taste was exceptionally satisfying. This visit was as delightful as my previous ones. The combination of exquisite food and impeccable service ensures that my family always has a fantastic time here. I genuinely love this place!”

“Great evening Food was delicious & well presented - some exceptional eg whole fish Had cocktails. . Mine was nice, blue! But a little too sweet. Nice decor - colorful, very Thai, & arty. Highly recommended”

“Located in a basement, with a few large long tables. Lovely Thai food. Music is a little loud, but able to have conversations. Recommend Papaya salad, tom yum soup.”

“This Thai restaurant is right near my home, and I can't believe I had never tried it before! I decided to give it a shot over the weekend and was surprised to find it quite busy. I ordered a **Prawn Nasi Goreng**—the portion was huge, and the rice was packed tightly into the bowl. It was super fragrant! I also got the **Crispy Pork Belly**—the pieces were large, and the sauce mixed with the fried rice was incredibly delicious. Finally, I ordered a snack: **Satay Skewers**—chicken skewers coated in rich satay peanut sauce, absolutely amazing! The restaurant even offers a **keto menu**, so it's great for those on a diet or into fitness. I'll definitely be going back again!”

“I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time, but I got this chance recently. It didn't make me disappointed. It offers different kinds of Southeast Asian Cuisine. The duck, steak in crying tiger and scallops are so tender and tasty. And they are worth to try it!”

“Incredible food! Restaurant quality with reasonable price from a local takeaway. Tom yum noodle soup came with fresh seafood, mussels, prawns, fish balls. And the fried rice and sweet sour slow cooked pork were delicious too. Highly recommend!”

“Authentic Thai food in Auckland. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Highly recommended restaurant if you are after Authentic Thai food.”
