Thai restaurants in New Zealand

“Enjoyed a delish brunch last weekend with my husband after going to Sugar bowl for the first time a few days earlier (delish lunch with work colleagues). Excellent kai & an excellent service by everyone there. Thank you so much team ❤️”

“I'm typing this review in a state close to food coma. My friend and I tried the “Let’s Eat” experience at Mekong Buffalo, and it was fantastic! You just let the chef choose for you (after checking for anything you don’t like), and the wonderful dishes just keep coming. The portions were generous, starting with a big platter of starters, and every course was packed with flavor. The service was excellent: attentive and friendly, but never too much. If you’re in Rotorua and enjoy Asian food, this is a must-try. Highly recommend!”

“We loved how friendly the staff were and the food was delicious. The singer created a great vibe which made us want to stay and drink for longer. Highly recommend.”

“Beautiful restaurant with delicious food, drinks and very nice and friendly staff members!!”
