  • We went for dinner tonight at this restaurant. The shrimp Tom yum soup we ordered is very authentic. We also ordered see you later noodles which is very delicious, as well as the naughty pig, which is crispy pork with vegetables. The service is fast. We will definitely come back again.

  • This is one of the best Thai restaurants I have tried! I have satay skewers at every Thai restaurant I go to, and these were by far the best I've had so far. There was plenty of sauce, meat, and veggies on all of the meals. The menu was extensive, clearly marked for allergies, and had a range of prices, so it is great for people on different budgets. The staff were friendly, the drinks and food came out fast even though they were busy, and the atmosphere was cozy but still classy and spacious.

  • The original Thai taste. I really love this restaurant. Services are exceptional, the waiter is nice and gentle. The food is all excellent. I ordered Beef with Black pepper and my friend ordered Fried Rice. I like fried rice so much. I gave a compliment to the Chef and Kitchen team. A restaurant is huge and there is a funcion room and also Karaoke for singing a song as well. 5 star restaurant. The best Thai restaurant in Christchurch. I will come back again.

  • The staff were very pleasant, polite and smiling. The food was delicious with generous proportions. I had the prawns and others had pork and the Dynamite Chicken. Prawns were presented nicely and had tails on, and stir fried, medium spicy was not very hot. I don't like deep fried food, but others who had the Dynamite Chicken enjoyed it. They said medium spice was not hot either.

  • Authentic and traditional Thai food at Christchurch, New Zealand! I always crave Asian food when traveling, and this thai place hits the spot. Love how there's 6 levels of spice and there's fresh chili on hand. Portions are generous. Seafood and veggies are seasoned well. I got the Tom yum seafood soup. After a chilly and rainy day in the harbor, it was welcoming. Service was super friendly and timed well. Hopefully they will open one in the US.
