Thai restaurants in New Zealand

“Love this place! The staff are always happy and polite, the food is fresh and delicious and its always clean and tidy. If you haven't ordered from the Donburi or the yaki udon, yaki soba menus I HIGHLY recommend it! They're made fresh and take about 10 to 15 minutes to cook depending on how busy they are, it's worth the wait! They taste delicious :)”

“1000% My new favourite place to eat... Staff is very friendly and the Kim Jong Un colouring pictures were very satisfying to use. Loved the atmosphere/aesthetic of the place. Not many restaurants go for a "Decrepit Dungeon" sort of feel but I like the change :) Another awesome feature which separates the experience of Chen's Food Court from other boring restaurants is the wide variety of meals. My personal favourite meal is the "Mystery Meat", though there are also options for vegetarians such as "Fresh Moss" or "Black Mold". Overall, definitely a 10/10 dining experience and you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be eating here again!”
