Thai restaurants in Christchurch

“Delicious and really fresh food, quick option for a takeaway and reasonably cheap. In my opinion just need some update on the dining in area as have the option for that in the restaurant itself aside of that a good option of Thai takeaway at Papanui road.”

“Authentic Taiwanese street food, good menu selections, really nice chilly sauce. Taiwanese owner operated. Love all the dishes we ordered, quick table service. Good bubble tea with well cooked bubbles, the largest size is humongous!!. Nice little shop. Moderate pricing. Highly recommend!”

“Aroy Thai in Rolleston! We have been waiting for Aroi Thai to open here in Rolleston. This restaurant is one of our favorites and go to comfort food in Wellington. As usual the food taste and quality is great. We ordered green curry and substitute the chicken to crispy pork. And because we love crispy pork we ordered extra crispy pork. We also ordered beef pepper and roti kaya. The food was all delicious. They have a new menu that is plant based which is great. Because they just opened, they gave us a free thai gourmet ice block. I chose milk tea which is yum! We’ll definitely keep coming back at Aroy Thai to try other items in the menu or just order our usual.”

“The chicken pad Thai and Tom yum prawn We ordered have Authentic taste. The Massena beef curry is also very good. We also mango sticky rice which taste great. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends.”

“We ordered takeaway. Great taste, good size servings and price fair bit cheaper than some others nearby.”

“Bought the tom kha soup with chicken on Friday night. This dish is my favourite Thai food & its hard to find a good one between Thai restaurants, but this one was incredible! A perfect balance of flavour elements & a decent spice to it. Absolutely loved it and will be back! Thank you chef!”

“This is absolutely a hidden Gem that in Christchurch. I would say golden boat is one of the best Hong Kong restaurants in NZ. Love it! Highly recommend spring roll. So gorgeous”

“Came here tonight, have been before but not recently. Service was fantastic, the waitress was very helpful and attentive. I have an egg allergy and they were very accommodating and helpful. Food was fantastic, we got 2 starters and 3 mains between us (3) and they were all very tasty. Atmosphere was nice, pretty quiet with it being a Tuesday. Highly recommend you come here and we will be back.”

“11/10 dim sum spot. Everything was delicious and fresh. Quick, polite service. Weekends have fresh baked pork and custard buns. Very reasonably priced. Menu has pictures and color coded pricing for each set of items ranging from $5.90 to $9.90 with the odd higher priced dish like the Peking duck. Wish I had more room to try more things. We will definitely be back.”

“I absolutely LOVE this place! Prior to having discovered this place, I absolutely could not stand Chinese takeaways. These guys have proved me so wrong in my opinion and changed my mind! The quality and price are so good and not to mention their hot chips are just the cherry on top!!”

“Hands down the best food I have had in all of New Zealand. I went to Spice Paragon with zero expectations as most Thai food in Christchurch is quite average. The prices were a bit much for me at first glance, as I often run on tight budget. Most of the time I will argue that expensive food is not worth it past a certain price point, but that argument failed here. The food arrived within 10 min of ordering and was absolutely stunning visually. We ordered the Pad Thai and a beef dish with a red curry sauce (I can't remember the name) that the waitress recommended. The Pad Thai was delicious, but the beef dish stole the show. The meat was tender, full of flavor, and the sauce it was bathed in was delectable. Portion sizes were large. The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly and attentive for New Zealand standards. The evening atmosphere would make this restaurant a great spot for a date, or a nice dinner with friends and family. If you are looking for a nice dinner spot with bold flavors in Christchurch, this is the place!”

“Absolutely love this place. We have had it +5 times and it never fails! The Pad Thai is so delicious and full of flavour, also has decent veges! The green curry is devine! We love the vegetarian wontons too. There is always a lovely man on the phone when you confirm your online order. Portion sizes are excellent too.”
