They said that is the most popular. It was a large bowl with a side of bean sprouts. I felt it needed a little more flavor so I added some of the sauces. I had to work on my chop stick skills lol. I also ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee which was excellent. It was also nice that it was a sit down place, but not too formal since you order at the register and they bring out your food.

I was not a huge fan of the pancake (it was very brittle and tough to manage cutting a slice without chunks crumbling off). Overall, I highly recommend.

Also they give you sweat and sour sauce instead of fish sauce, like why? Next we had the beef pho and soy chicken. The soy chicken was nice but the rice was stale. Now about the pho, well you would think that if a store was named pho that it would be good - wrong. It was the worst attempt of pho I have ever had: broth was flavorless, too much noodle and to top it all of no side of fresh vegetables to go with it. When I asked the guy where were the herbs and bean sprouts he told me that they were too expensive to serve in NZ. Seems like all the other Vietnamese manage. All in all not a good place.

I was fully wasted, or perhaps exhausted would been a better choice of word. So I took out my trusty iPhone and googled for food options. Sadly, there aren't many yelp reviews for the region. I normally wouldn't expect any authentic Asian restaurants in a small town like Napier. When I stepped in the doorway. I saw loads of people waiting to get their meals to go. So I thought maybe this was gonna be a decent place for dinner. I sat down, had a look at the menu. First thing that got my attention was, why the heck do we have to pay so much more in Auckland for the same food?! Omg, the mains were all under 20 bucks! So, I ordered a prawn Pad Thai, a chicken red curry, a entree of deep fried spring rolls. Service was very efficient. I had the food in front of my within 10mins after ordering. The red curry was so tasty, I couldn't think of an Thai restaurant in Auckland that could match it's quality. The aroma of the coconut cream filled my nostrils. It was intoxicating. They use the thin rice noodles instead of the thick ones for their Pad Thai. And that didn't disappoint either. It wasn't greasy, and the noodle was still firm to the bite and not soggy like some places. I am not sure what's happening to me lately. But I kept finding the cheapest thing on the menu to be the tastiest. The entree of deep fried rice rolls. Omg it's like nothing I have tasted before. It's so delicate yet crunchy, the accompanying dipping sauce compliments the subtle flavours beautifully. And all that for 8 bucks, what a steal. If I visit Napier again, I will be sure to eat at Sri Thai again.

Both excellent tho do remember to specify how you want them cooked (if they don't ask you). Otherwise they will do a default mild and we like it more spicy than that. Finished by sharing the baked ice cream which was also yummy. Not inexpensive (NZ$90 between the two of us) but good service, great food plus 2 beers and 2 wines made it great value. Definitely recommend

Unfortunately what the menu failed to mention is that it is not a plate of food, it's a bowl of soup. You'd think that might be worth mentioning but whoever wrote the menu decided against it. It was supposed to have chicken, prawns and scallops in it. I got exactly one scallop, and it was small; I got 2-3 prawns. I was disappointed with this and didn't really enjoy my lunch. As for the noodles, there were two kinds in my soup; only one was crispy, but it didn't stay that way for long. My wife enjoyed her pad Thai noodles, so if you go here, maybe get that.

My wife and I was wanting to eat Thai food after a good experience we had in Cambridge, so here we are at Thai Aroma around 6pm. It was relatively quiet, there was another group of family that just ordered before us. The waiter brought us water and came over as soon as we looked like we were ready to order. My wife opted for the shrimp tom yum with jasmine rice and I went with the shrimp pad siew. My wife is big fan of tom yum and it wasn't exactly the way she wanted...she said it was missing the broken straw mushrooms and could have been a bit more sour, otherwise we both were blown away at the pad siew. It was so flavorful with every bite you took you just didn't want it to end. We forgot our backpack that night and drove all the way to Auckland (a little over 2 hours). We called the restaurant that same night and luckily they were still open, the waiter told us he has it and will have it for us for pickup. We picked it up the next day and nothing was missing from our backpack. He did tell us he opened it trying to look for any information to try and contact us and advised us of leaving some sort of contact information. Awesome waiter, will definitely dine here again if we visit Otorohanga again!
