Thai restaurants in New Zealand

“This restaurant does not deserve it's current rating. The staff are pleasant and welcoming. They are also accommodating if you have dietary requirements like I do. The food is great with good portion sizes. Definitely give this place a go. I assure you it's well worth a visit for moderately priced great Thai”

“We ordered Soul Thai via UberEats and was highly impressed with the quality, presentation and taste of the food. The branded packaging was neat and we thoroughly enjoyed each of our dishes including, chilli lime fried chicken, chicken Larb, chicken Thai fried rice, Thai prawn salad and salt & pepper squid. The flavours were fresh, vibrant and the requested spice level being Thai Hot was catered perfectly to. Highly recommended!”

“Love this place. Great value and really yummy. The thai green curry is my fave.”

“My favourite Thai place in Auckland - and I eat a lot of Thai food. Generous portions and fresh ingredients and they don't skimp on quality like other places. Everything on the menu is great but my favourite is the spicy beef salad and chicken satay.”

“Delicious dishes especially some from local Dalian eg 三鲜焖子，stir fry cabbage, lamb, wasabi prawns, etc all very yummy. Being there a few times and still want to go.”

“Ordered via Uber a vege pad Thai and a prawn panang curry, both were delish with the curry having a great level of spice.”

“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”

“No idea why they are sitting on 3.6 stars but it isn't fair at all. They offer great value for money and outstanding flavors. Do yourself a favor and try them, you won't be disappointed.”

“Love the service in this restaurant : I think this is a very authentic Chinese restaurant in Dunedin. There is a buffet and a la carte. The Sichuan cuisine tastes very good. The pickled fish tastes authentic. My family and I come here often. The service is also very good.”

“Yummy dumplings. Chicken and vege / pork and vege. Comes with soy sauce. Just took a while that's all. But I would buy again.”

“A hidden gem right in the heart of the city. You’ll miss it easily as it sits on the 1st floor and only noticeable from the menu and sign board which leads you up a flight of stairs. This place has been around for such a long time and it used to be a haunt with my mates during our uni days which was a couple of decades ago! A great selection of food and they don’t disappoint. What I’m impressed is that the consistency is still the same from day 1 and portion sizing is generous. They have a toilet available but you’ll need a key behind the counter and it comes with a super large keychain! Since nothing much has changed, the place is slightly run down and would definitely benefit from a little makeover.”

“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.”

“I first visited this heart warming spot a year ago to celebrate my little brother's bday. Since then every mention of Vietnamese food has had me thinking about the exquisite crispy pork summer rolls, the most delectable Watermelon long island cocktail and the Pho - the Pho actually deserves its own 5 star review to be truthful, its succulent, amazingly flavorful, and its amazing flavour profile makes it feel like its good for your soul. When my brother offered to fly me down again this year for his birthday, one thing was on my mind PhoViet. And it was truly worth the wait. Walking in you often get greeted by Alex, the owner who makes you feel so welcomed and like your part of the family there. Remembers the orders of his regulars, and ensures you are always well fed. Alex greeted us and remembered me even after a year and ensured myself and my little brother had an amazing time eating truly fantastic food and enjoying amazing drinks. Big thank you to Alex and his team. I will be thinking about those summer rolls and those Watermelon long islands until I managed to get back to wellington to visit again.”

“Dining at Polemo the other night was an absolute treat. Nestled right on the waterfront, the restaurant offers not just stunning views but also exceptional food and service. The beef short ribs were a standout—so tender and flavorful they quite literally melted in your mouth. The pork belly roll was equally impressive, perfectly seasoned to bring out its rich flavours. A special shoutout to Kevin for his excellent menu recommendations, and to Kelly who is a dessert queen that panna cotta was phenomenal!”

“An incredible evening - brilliant music, food (I had the bang bang salmon salad, partner had the pork ribs and noodles in broth and we finish with the best burnt caramel and choc tart ever), cocktails, craft beers and the best vibes. We didn’t want to leave!”

They are real chef and the food is always a great delight. Pictures on the menu are already mouth-watering, but when you get your meal, uggh HEAVEN!! i will give them 10 stars! So happy to support a small business that makes me travel in the courae of dining. Thank you”
