There's 2 Thai restaurants a few doors down from each other. A common theme in New Zealand. I happened to pick this place over the other for one simple reason. The outside colors of this place are purple and yellow which reminded me of the Lakers hahaha. So you know girls.. I'm the type of dude who can decide where to eat. My methods are a bit suspect but I handle the tough stuff. That's usually the bad part of eating out. What the hell do I want??
Thai food can be very hit or miss for me here in NZ but this place did it pretty well! Pad Thai and Tom Yum for me. The Tom Yum wasn't as good as I've had, flavor was weak, not so spicy, but the pork Pad Thai made up for it. Cooked perfectly! I also loved their Thai iced coffee. As far as New Zealand eating goes this place was reasonably priced. I always tell myself, today is the day I order something other than Pad Thai or Red Curry but then my server comes, I open the menu, and awkwardly point to something random and say I'll just get Pad Thai.. Maybe next time lol
Street parking. Reservations are accepted but you don't really need one on a weekday. It does fill up on weekends though so plan accordingly. They also do takeout, which is a big vibe on lazy weekends.
Is it a top tier Thai spot? No.. But it's local and good enough to come back. But I think I'll try the other spot first so I can compare my options ; ) read more
