Thai Orewa was my first EVER Thai food experience. I can remember it clearly, I had the 'Fire…read moremountain chicken' and it came out still SIZZLING on a hotplate. It blew my mind. Coming back years later, having had zillions more Thai meals and a Thai cooking class in Thailand, my hopes weren't high. Slightly fearful of shattering this fond childhood memory I once again ordered the 'Fire mountain chicken'. I was stoked to find it was still delicious. Perhaps not the best meal I'd ever eaten (like 15 years before), but still a unique and delicious flavour. The food at Thai Orewa is fresh, good quality and the staff are lovely. Its great to eat in, or they do a good take away service as well.

We drove all the way through town to get to this place based on the other review here. And we were…read moredisappointed to find that there was only cabinet food available. It all looked nice and fresh but cabinet food is just not what we're into. And I certainly would never rate a cabinet good cafe higher than three stars ever.
