I really wanted to prove a bad review wrong but I have to say that R. Ouhel's review was a fair assessment. I'm sure others may really enjoy this style of Thai, but the flavor profiles were really atypical. I ordered the sizzling beef - based on a positive review and was disappointed. It was very sweet and tasted like ketchup. Another at the table ordered the tom yum soup - which had a unique type of seasoning (Thai ginger?). Again, I'm sure others enjoy this take on Thai (this restaurant was very busy!) but I rate based on my tastes. We did enjoy the prawn spring rolls and chicken satay. These were very good. The satay is lightly fried, which was an interesting and pleasant take on the dish. The tamarind sauce was also good. The staff was friendly and kind but very focused on take out orders.

Thai-adjacent food that was tasty. Everything was just a bit... off. Nothing tasted quite like you'd expect. Shrimp spring rolls that were served deep fried instead of the fresh style (rice paper wrapped), chicken satay that had a chunky sauce with no peanut flavor and chicken that had been fried (without much or any curry), drunken noodles on very thin noodles, sizzling beef drenched in hoisin sauce, and Tom Yum with a flavor very difficult to put your finger on. Our waitress wasn't able to answer many questions either which was unfortunate. That being said, the food tasted pretty good, but sadly not like any Thai food my party has ever had before.

Quick service & great food, I can see why it's so popular. A few annoying sandflies about, but nothing major. We shared an entree & I had crispy duck on a sizzling platter which I really enjoyed. Meal type Dinner Price per person $40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

A fantastic warm Thai ambience. The courtyard was well covered with heating and Thai decor to give a wonderful dining experience. Fantastic service and the lemon herb stir-fry with rice and calamari was sublime! Highly recommend! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

(Warning: unimpressed Jafa's review below). Ok, lesson nearned once again: don't trust ratings of regional Asian restaurants as most come from predominantly white kiwi locals who are seemingly more than happy to be ripped off and possibly can't tell what an authentic Thai cuisine should look like. I guess folks here have smaller mortgages so being taken for a ride is not a biggie. Green curry watery and mostly filled with veggies (big cold chunks, let uncle Roger see I dare you, $27.90), tiny portions of rice, beef salad ok but not really authentic ($25.9), plus cold salad leaves on top. But hey, if you want more rice it's just $4.50! Nice ambience though. PS: For all you locals, give any Auckland Thai restaurant a go, far better flavour, bigger portion and price wise you'll break even with the fuel to travel there and back.

I loved the food there. I got the pad thai and it was delicious and my family were blow away by the food. Me and my family think this was the best Thai food we ever had and the employees were very nice to us. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Pad Thai

One of our favourite restaurants. Even warm in the outside area. Love the food. If you enjoy a drink before eating, only place your food order after your drink is received, otherwise food arrives first. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–40 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
