“We are regular visitors to the restaurant and it absolutely lives up to the hype! From start to finish, the experience is always fantastic. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting, with a lovely, authentic atmosphere. The flavors are so fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The food is rich and creamy with just the right amount of spice, and traditional Thai dishes are tangy, sweet, and packed with flavor. The service is always top-notch. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Portion sizes are very generous, offering great value for money. Without a doubt, this is the best Thai food in North Canterbury. We can't wait to come back and work our way through the rest of the menu. Highly, highly recommend! A must-visit!”

“Outstanding customer service, friendly, staff followed through with my complicated order. Then to our surprise we were overwhelmed with the attention to detail.

For savouries I had the spinach and feta quiche which was also yummy. Cosy atmosphere and I highly recommend this place!”

“First visit in this Japanese restaurant in the lunch time. We arrived early and few customers were already inside. This is one of the few authentic Japanese cuisine restaurants in town. As you enter, it seems like you are in Japan, great decorations, long bar featuring traditional customs. Food came quickly, we ordered some chicken karage for our chidren, my wife ordered salmon with salad and me lamen. All tasted fantastically nice, soft rice and well seasoned. Owners are Japanese, that explains much of the quality and precision. Looking for another good experience in the future.”

“Myself and my two teens stopped off here on our way to Auckland last week and I had the most delicious eggs benedict there! Best I've ever had.

This will now be my place to stop when coming through.”

“Excellent value for money, we go about once a week. It has a buffet style selection of curries, with plenty more options cooked fresh. Best naan in NZ for sure. Lots of vegan options too.”
