Thai restaurant in New Zealand

“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!”

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

“Just ordered takeaway for my dinner. LOVE IT! Spicy Crispy Pork dish and Chicken Pad Thai, the food were flavoursome ,and good portion size.”

“I just finished going up mount Eden and was hungry. Found this place nearby. It's a fairly small place. Seats about 25. Nice, subtle decor. Got the steamed duck #38, with coconut rice. I was hoping for thai tea but they had run out. It took about a half hour to be served. I'm going to assume it was made to order, it was that good. Nicely presented in a shaped dish. I recommend Basil Thai, make reservations!”

“They have seating available for couples to large groups and it is best to book a table. More of a Thai fusion restaurant, but the flavours are really tasty and presented well. The deep fried whole barramundi and BBQ beef short rib are highly recommended. They also have kids menu and a good selection of cocktails.”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

“This place is always busy so recommend you make a booking. The food is tasty and consistently good. And between October and February, you have to regularly go to eat, or just drop in to grab the mango sticky pea flower rice, as the season is limited! Dominion Rd was buzzing, despite no rugby game on at Eden Park and lots of people out which was great to see. Worth a visit :)”

“Thai noodle has the best chicken pad Thai ever!!! I have been coming here for years and every single time it is absolutely incredible. Amazing portion size too!”

“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”

“Do yourself a favour and just go here! Lovely atmosphere: music, lighting and great service. Very yummy food and fantastic wine selection...try the Loveblock Gewurztraminer. Support restaurants that are actually good and not just whatever is trendy!”

“We ordered Tom Yum Soup and Panang Curry with Rotis for dinner. The Tom Yum soup was delicious, great portion and done to perfection. I found the Panand curry too creamy for my liking, may be that's how it is prepared, the taste was good. Rotis and Satay sauce was very good too. Service was good. The new place on Cuba is lovely. The fan wasn't working so it was a bit smokey but the food made up for it! Overall we loved their food and definitely recommend if you like Thai food.”

“We were in a pineapple mood, so tried the pineapple stirfry with chicken and a red curry and pineapple with chicken. Both came with a small amount of rice. If you enjoy rice with more than half your bites, order an extra side. The chicken satay skewers were an ok way to start the meal. The real stars were the pineapple dishes! Service is good and the food was delivered quickly.”

“A great restaurant, excellent food and great atmosphere. Remember to take your own alcohol as it’s a byo. Overall great value and would definitely visit again”

“It’s my second time trying fried noodle. Great flavor. Definitely worth coming back for. Highly recommended”

“Have experienced super good service here! The staff are always friendly and I’ve often been given a complimentary drink, which is such a nice touch. I usually get delivery or pick-up rather than dining in, and it’s always been super fast and ready when I arrive. Portion sizes are generous, the food is always delicious, and they consistently have great deals available online. I even took my grandparents here once, and now they’re huge Thai fans too! Definitely one of my go-to spots & would highly recommend!”

“Very flavoursome well presented and friendly service. Table for 8 and all enjoyed their meals. Highly recommended, easy parking. Will return for sure.”

“Very authentic Thai food! Recommend the green curry and the beef salad. Great service as well. Saw that they have Thai green iced tea. Might try next time.”

“Amazing food, 100% recommended. I am choosy and these guys are awesome. Real, authentic Thai flavours; No weird chunks of carrot or celery, no gross frozen seafood mix, just real squid, prawns and mussels in the salads and tom yum We got the whole fish in curry sauce and it was excellent. Super good and large portions.”

“Twice we came and twice it was amazing! Serving halal asian food. We ate the tom yum noodles, mee goreng with chicken and sticky rice with fried chicken for lunch and dinner. Definitely recommend the Thai milk tea though, it's really special. Boss lady was so sweet, she gave out brownies to all the diners for free since it was Mother's day. Amazing service and food, definitely worth the stop in Christchurch.”

“Amazing food, fast service, friendly staffs. We enjoyed dining at Mama Ree very thoroughly.”

“I love the amazing selection of pies you have. Even Duck. It's up there with the Fairlie pie and the West Coast Pie. My 2 Fav pie places. The pastry was flaky, crisp and well cooked. The pies I tried actually had large pieces of meat. Not your normal lots of saucy gunk and token meat. If you were closer to where I lived I am sure I would visit more... Perhaps that is a good thing weight wise. Good luck in your venture and current location.”

“Fantastic food, great pricing, the chilli oil is the best, top tip is to see if they are open before you venture out as the shop hours/days are a little random compared to usual restaurants, but well worth it..”

Thai Rendezvous runs with a simple, bistro‑style menu and an easy pace. Service stays present without fuss. Meals reach the pass promptly. A sensible spend for the spread. Portions are generous yet we...

“Great food, great service and very clean! We eat here regularly and are always made to feel welcomed and that our business matters! Food is outstanding too! we’ll be back:)”

“Whenever I make the trip down to see family, we always come here. The food is cooked fresh and is really tasty. Staff are lovely as well. I always end up getting the Pad See Ew ..it never disappoints.”

“Went to dine in last April 9th. The food at chim thai is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and manager Jess is so friendly, accomodating with the guests and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place. Always a great spot to get great food, amaaAzing food.”

“We came to Basil Thai Kitchen for a Pad Thai and were delighted by meeting the lovely owner Bern. We had a pleasant chat while we waited for our food. Didn't wait long and enjoyed the the pad Thai. They also had good vegan option for us. We totally recommend this lovly family owned business. Gretings to Bern from Vitto and Leon from Germany - all the best!”

“Thai Classic has got to be one of the best authentic thai restaurants in Hamilton! I have tried a wide range of their food and it has never disappointed me. Their curries are super flavourful as are the stir fry dishes. The entress are super yummy and all house-made by their head chef. So they taste extra special! The staff are super friendly and inviting and their knowledge about the cuisine is good. The owners are also super lovely people and it was great to go in when collecting my takeaway order, to see all their tables full! They deserve all the hype and business. I will always recommend this place to anyone whos looking for where to go for any celebration, date night or just a delicious takeaway in the comfort of your own home! They also have Uber Eats available which is great!”

“Salt Mango Tree is well worth a visit if you want honest, flavourful Kerala food in Hamilton. Whether it’s for a family dinner and friends , trying something new, or just some soul-food cravings, it ticks almost every box. Highly recommended.”
