We ordered 2 of the "Crispy Pork Belly", Kong Style Brisket and Chicken Karaage Baos. All of which were pretty good. The Beef was a tad chalky in texture, the chicken was crispy and the pork belly wasn't crispy almost AT ALL but all of the flavors were solid and the Baos were nice and soft, perfectly steamed. Service was pretty good, they were pleasant and they let me know about the Bao specials before I had placed the order. It's a nice looking spot on the water and the music creates a nice vibe.

I had the Pho Bo, a beef noodle soup made with sliced sirloin and beef meatballs. It also has green onion, sprouts, cilantro and other spices. I thought it was excellent and the portions were good. I went back two days later and had the spring rolls and they didn't disappoint. The were very fresh and light. I also had the Ga Con, which is Drunken salt & pepper Baby Chicken with traditional Chinese style pork pot rice and a salad. The chicken was exceptional.

Let me start my review by first saying this: Food - 5 stars…read moreService - 4 stars But I cannot, in good conscience give PhuThai Esarn a good review. If you have ever dined at PhuThai, you know that the food is amazing... pretty much, hands down, the best Thai food in Wellington which is saying a lot. This city has a South Asian cuisine fetish and this restaurant is right up at the top with the best of them. The service is good, though the gals who work here tend to be very busy. That's not unusual for Wellington, though. The difference lies in the management. You can tell that the management treats the waitstaff horribly. I have witnessed the manager yelling at girls on more than one occasion. I have also heard he does not pay his Thai waitresses. At all. He keeps them coming back by promising to pay if they come in the next time... I've spoken with a couple of the girls about it. So, go here if you like. Out of guilt, I can't ever eat here again. If you do happen to stop by, please tip your waitress... in her hand. The tip jar at the counter goes straight to the owner's pockets.

Service was a tad slow here but picked up as more people started sitting at the bar. We ordered the following: -combo platter (summer rolls, peppered squid, krishna pakhora, three cheese naan, and SFC) - all items were pretty good and my favorite was the krishna pakhora vegetables and SFC chicken which is surprising since these are usually not my favorite meats/veggies -firecracker slider - friends said it was very spicy and I had to try it. This was the right amount of spicy for me and I wish I had ordered it as my main -nasi goreng - good amount of meat but not really extraordinary -lamb curry - good, doesn't come with rice but my partner just ate it as is since he's allergic -krakatoa fire bowl - love the fire element to the drink and it was tasty and didn't taste very alcoholic (even though it's made of a lot of liquors) but it's pricey -bartender's choice - THIS is what I would 100% come back for and surprisingly very affordable. I told them that I like whiskey/bourbon and love yuzu citrus (the more citrusy the better) and they made me a drink that tasted amazing! According to my friends, the food has less spice now compared to when they've had it previously. Overall, I would come back here at least for the drinks and the firecracker chicken.

On the one hand you have Grand Century, which is mediocre at best with not much variety. There are also the other Asian-fusion type places like Ancestral where there's just as much SE Asian influences. For variety, freshness and taste I'd give Majestic 4 stars. I wish there were more traditional items like braised chicken feet or steamed/braised mixed offal or sticky rice with chicken wrapped in lotus leaves or even jellyfish salad. However, this place does a good job to satisfy the dim sum craving whenever I have them (and I have them a lot).

So can a franchise chain have good Malaysian food? Well this one is not bad for a franchise business. We tried their Hainan Chicken Rice, the Nasi Biryani Special with fried chicken, roti bom (sweet version for desert) and prawn Mee soup. All were very tasty except that the Penang Prawn Mee soup was somewhat watered down. As we would say... the taste was too adjusted for the western palette. Needed more "heako" or prawn paste! The unfortunate thing was that when I picked up our order, I did not check to package and found that I had taken Bill's take out order! Called the restaurant and they apologized for the mix up and remade my order at no extra charge. That left us with Bill's dinner choices as extra! He ordered the roti with chicken tandoori, seafood curry Mee or laksa noodle soup and paparich special Nasi Lemak. Wow! We were set with Malaysian food all the way through the next day. Food was just great! Thanks Paparich!

As we hand over the list of the food request this employee tells us the dessert i.e. ice cream will be in with your food as the kitchen closes at 8:30. Okay we agreed. Desert comes in within 5 minutes (after two back to back inquiries of the ice cream flavor). We finish the desert. 10 minutes into it food is still not on the table but the bill has been sitting there! The other employee goes after our food when he sees the empty dish...
